why do catholics pray to mary when Jesus is the only mediator between God and man? why dont they pray directly to God ( the source of all creation) rather than a woman who was "favoured" that gave birth to our saviour? what exactly does a catholic believe that contradicts the truth of God? what is the difference between a Pentecostal and a Baptist Christian and a Catholic? im not understanding...please make your statements and answers clear, if you can include verses related to this topic, that would b great

I love the Lord however I stuggle with the things listed above,
I constantly surrender these feelings to God but I still wrestle with them from time to time. How does one overcome jealously envy and coveting what others have and how can I be happy and joyful for someone who maybe gets the things that I wanted ?

Assume:

The accounts given about Jesus in the new testament are true.

The Old Testament is the only source available to disprove it.

Everyone myself included as high expecations of how life should work out and turn out. I tend to expect a lot of life, circumstances and people I love, How does one go about having godly expecations and to be realistic in the Lord?

So with everything that has happened in the last fifty+ years do you think that the world is going to end soon (nuclear war, Gods' wrath, something similar??) And no for those of you out there wondering I'm not religious and I don't believe in God, just curious about what people think. Please no smart *** comments.

I constatnly surrender my life to the Lord each day and yet I struggle with the same things over and over even when I sincerely give everything over to the Lord and not hold back. My husband says it is a daily fight to be a Christian, even though we are human what are ways we can grow even when we fail and make mistakes and even do bad things on purpose? How even though one struggles with "the flesh" how can I yeild more to the Spirirt of God?

Are we so delusional with this pay later plan theory? That we live in sin our whole lives here in earth; whether we live to be 120 years old. But then suffer the consequence of sin in Hell's eternal fire. In the end, was all the sex, drugs and rock n' roll worth it?

It all happened one night at a party in the ghetto. I had the choice of saying she was my gf or my co-worker. Drunk out of my mind... I said, "the b***th just cooks good fried chicken." What will it take for her to forgive me?

This has been going on for months now, as soon as the neighbor moved in. The HOA and the Police have been contacted, but they just issue verbal warnings and have not been able to get the owner to keep the dog quiet. I don't feel comfortable speaking to the neighbor in person. This dog keeps me up all night...I rarely get a good night's sleep...and I am very frustrated. Any advice?

In 2nd Peter in the Bible it talks about being effective and productive for Christ? What makes a person be this way?

How can I be more like this? How can Christians make thier light shine and be more of an effective witness?

Seeing that there are multiple posts promoting Atheism on a religion board, does that mean it is now classified as a religion?

I go to the University of Michigan and I am sharing a apartment with two girls who are roomates (not so much friends) and when I was living alone, I would walk around naked. Well, I have seen them in bra and panties before so one day, I came out naked and they were giggling and laughing, and eventually they started teasing me. I got an erection and they teased me. I never get aroused nude. I am only 3.5 inches erect and they kept waving their pinky fingers at me (what the heck does that mean?) and calling me names. They said if you keep going around naked, we will never stop teasing u. Should I argue with them or complain?

My wife's friend is coming to tea and she is a muslim. I haven't got much money, and all I have left in the fridge is some pork mince. Do you think I could pass the pork mince off as turkey mince, and feed it to this muslim? Do you think she would know?

What do you believe is the purposes of the church? Do you know what Rick Warren's says the purposes are?

I would like to have a scripture reference for each item you list.

Also, where is the scripture that talks about the importance of having sound doctrine? Or holding onto doctrine?
