Is Mary Omini-present ?

[Eliyahu]

Many people on this world, in North America, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in Oceania pray and ask Mary for the help. Can she listen to all the prayers from all over the world and answer to them?

Could she do so while she was alive?
If not, could she become much more powerful after she died ?

Is Mary alive now or dead?

What is her position in the presence of God, when you ask Mary for any help?

Any persons who address their prayer to Mary, please answer the questions above.

 

[Chemnitz]

I think if you want any responses, you should ask these questions on a board where there are people who pray to Mary.

 

[Matt Black]

I don't think you'll find any here.

Mary is not omnipresent. Only the Trinitarian God is omnipresent.

Mary is in heaven. She is not more "powerful" because of it, and no one should pray to her.

 

[pinoybaptist]

If Mary is omnipresent, then I am omniscient.

I do not think very many claim Theotokos is omni-present. Rather she is the mother of the Church and as such intercedes and prays for it. But Christ alone is our Salvation. If anyone teaches that Mary is omni-present it would just be another RCC heresy.

 

[DeclareHim]

No Mary is not omni-present.

1. Do you mean that she is still alive and she prays God to help you ?

2. Who does she pray for ?
for you alone ? or for the whole 1.3 billion Holy Roman Catholics ?

3. Do you pray to her? yes or no ?

4. Don't 1.3 billion Roman Catholic pray to Mary ?

 

[Matt Black]

I can't answer the first three for Nate, but I can answer #4 - No.

 

[Eliyahu]

If 1.3 billion pray to Mary for the help, doesn't it mean that they believe the Omni-Presence of Mary, and therefore that Roman Catholic is worshipping Mary as Goddess?
Isn't Roman Catholic the biggest Heresy ?

There are many on this BB who say they pray Mary. But on this question they cannot answer and therefore are just quiet.

 

[Matt Black]

Which posters?

 

[Eliyahu]

check out thru BB and ask Nate as he says :
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Rather she is the mother of the Church and as such intercedes and prays for it
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

How can any one say Mary is Mother of Church?
How can anyone say Mary intercede for the church ?

Is it Nate alone ?

 

[Matt Black]

Show me where he said he prays to Mary.

 

[Eliyahu]

Catholics often call Mary as Mother of God.
Mary as Mother of Church

Bible says Church is Bride of Jesus Christ.(Eph 5:25, Rev 21:2)

Mary was the mother of Jesus.

Then, to Catholics, Mother becomes wife ?

 

[Eliyahu]

Ask him whether he does or not.

 

[Matt Black]

OK. Nate, do you pray to Mary as well as to God?

 

[Eliyahu]

Is Briony-Gloriana not a RC ?
Does she not pray to Mary ?
She is on this BB. Ask her.

I noticed many actually being RC on this BB. They may not want to disclose their belief when they are in the impasse of their belief.

 

[Matt Black]

Ok, first it was Nate, now it's Briony-Gloria. How many times do you want to move the goalposts on this one?

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Matt, are you denying the RCC teaches prayer & veneration of Mary ?
