Speak to Mary, anyone can speak to her in prayer.
I don't speak to my dead relatives or friends in prayer so why would I do that to Mary?
Because Mary was never human in the first place.
Have you never heard of the Shekinah? The Queen of Heaven?

Demons can imitate the dead in order to get you to open up to them. It can lead to possession.

I teach that Jesus humbled Himself into the role of a man while still being fully God.
When you claim that when Jesus spoke, he was just a man speaking, not man and God speaking, that is Arianistic thinking.
Jesus was God in human flesh in the role of a man. This is Modalism, not Arianism.

Although it is true that Mary and Shekinah worship are the same, the Shekinah comes from Jewish witchcraft. It is not Christian.

Do you think that every professed communication from the dead is demons? What about King Saul, the Witch of Endor and Samuel, was that demon or Samuel?
When the disciples saw Jesus after his crucifixion, they thought he was a ghost. Apparently, Jewish folklore allowed for ghosts. Do you think that all ghosts are demons? If so, why would the disciples think that Jesus was ghost?

No, he was in the role of the God-Man. As second Adam he was the life giving spirit. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15 that the second Man was the Lord from heaven himself. Fully God and fully Man. As second Adam he is the God of the whole earth (Isaiah 54:5). He demonstrated his dominion over the earth by walking on water, and calming the stormy winds by his command and by using mud to repair the broken eyes of a man born blind at birth. Matter manipulation on the molecular scale by his will. Thus we have Lord of heaven and earth.
Isaiah tells us before he came there was no man in heaven to intercede, he had to become his own High Priest which is Melki-Tsedek, who had no father and no mother and no end of days. He has always had to do the work himself, no one else could do it and no one else can.

Why ever not? You don't believe they're still listening and beside you?
What a sad place to be.
I talk to my dead relatives and friends all the time. It gives me hope....and you know what? I get responses.
A feeling of a warm hug, a touch on the shoulder, a reminder that this moment, too, shall pass, and in the end, all will be well.
Funny, but, Jesus never comes to do that...only my loved ones.
EDIT:
Oh, and my ever-present angels, here, at my service. Right now they are at work helping one of my kids, with full participation from his dad and me.

There is no such thing as Mary worship. Catholics only worship God TJ. You gotta mark that protest/objection
of your list. It isn't true. Honor they father and mother, it is a Commandment. You don't think Our Lord's mother
is worthy of love and honor? Our Lord does, we are following His way, His teachings.
You may understand much better after/at the "awakening." Mary has appeared to Protestants by exception but she will definitely when there are no more heresies. The "awakening" could be as soon as next year?

Catholics worship three gods, one of which is Mary. Your god is YHWH. Baal, his wife, and his son.
Who else would be queen of Heaven but Mary?
No man in the Old or New Testament ever called his mother "woman." Our Lord
has a reason. Mary is the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 and the "woman" in Revelation 12:1. Read further in
the same chapter, Mary is the "woman" who brought forth the man-child. About her being Queen...
Some verses in Scripture can represent more than one thing. Revelation 12:1 is one of them. Above all,
the "woman" in Revelation 12:1 is Mary most holy, Our Lord's mother. The "woman"in Revelation 12:1 sounds pretty royal.

Jesus wasn't a ghost. He had a resurrected glorified body, which a human won't get until the resurrection.
King Saul was involved in Jewish witchcraft. His communication with the dead led to his own death due to it being unfaithful to God

I know Genesis 3:15 is referring to Mary, however Revelation 12 is talking about the religion of Abraham Not Mary. The woman has wings of an eagle because eagles were clean beasts according to Kosher laws so it's referring to a religion or faith that is pure ad godly."Women" in prophetic language usually is talking about religions or cults. As in the case of Zechriah 5, the woman in the basket is between heaven and earth lifted up and exalted above men.edit on 24-8-2013 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

colbe,
I want you to understand my thinking, I really do.
I believe we are ALL sons and daughters of the Divine - I believe that is what Jesus taught - I have reverence for him, I simply don't believe he is any more the son of God than ALL OF US ARE. THAT is the message I get from him. It has ALWAYS been the message I get, and will not change, no matter how much you want me to try to change it.
I believe the Divine is part of the interdimensional support we receive from loved ones who have moved on to the next plane. We all have something to offer the world;
and everyone else in it has something to offer us.
Why can you not understand that "Love" is the Main Thing - telling people that they are "doing it wrong", when they are loving their family, friends, strangers, humanity - just because they don't genuflect and cross themselves in front of a Catholic Altar is what I object to.
I am doing my level best - and I believe everyone alive is doing their best at any given moment with what they have been given as a life. Can you not see this? Even you, colbe, are doing your level best. Your efforts are well-intentioned, I know that....but the "shame" and "fear" that you PROJECT onto others who don't share your specific belief system is not productive.
Can't you just accept us all the way we are? Why do you feel you need to keep telling us "Change! Before it's too late! God wants you to blahyaddayadda.....!" You don't have a monopoly on the cure for humanity; can you not see that you are actually INJURING others when you 'chastise' them for not doing what YOU tell us to do??
If you really "love" us, then please, stop with the pressure. Please, I beg you, stop with the pressure. Walk your path, talk to us while we are in earshot - tell us how you're doing ------ PLEASE stop telling us 'you're not on the right path.' We were GIVEN this path to walk - and we are NOT ON YOURS, no matter how much you think yours is the "superior" or "correct" one.
Please, pray for the ability to understand that.
