Do Catholics adore the Virgin Mary, and consider her omnipresent, so that she can answer their prayers?

No, Catholics adore God alone, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They love and reverence the Blessed Virgin, because God honored her above all creatures by choosing her to be the Mother of His only Son. St. Epiphanius in the fourth century condemned the Collyridians, the only sect in history, who gave her divine honors, saying: "We do not adore the saints. . . . Let Mary then be honored, but the Father, Son and Holy Ghost alone be adored" (Adv. Collyrid., 29).

God alone is Omnipresent. The power of the Blessed Virgin to know our particular wants, and to answer our prayers no more implies omnipresence than my power to grant the request of a friend thousands of miles away implies my presence in that place. When Eliseus saw the ambush prepared for the King of Israel was he necessarily in Syria at the time (4 Kings vi. 9)? God can make known to His saints what we need, as we learn from His words in Job: "Go to My servant Job, and offer up a holocaust for yourselves; and My servant Job shall pray for you; for him I w:'U accept lest I deal with you according to your folly" (Job xlii. 8;. The saints see God "face to face as He is" (1 Cor. iii. 12; 1 John iii. 2), and Li seeing God, they see in Him as in a mirror all that happens upon earth.


Why do Catholics pay so much honor to Mary, when she was only an ordinary woman? Does not Catholic devotion to her detract from the worship due to Christ?

The Catholic Church has always paid special honor to the Blessed Virgin, because God honored her above all creatures by bestowing upon her the highest dignity He could confer the divine maternity. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus honored her by dwelling with her under the same roof at Nazareth for thirty years until He began His public ministry, and that He showed His love to her on the Cross, when He left her to the kindly care of His beloved disciple, St. John (John xix. 26). I could never understand how intelligent men hoped to extol the Son of God by making little of the Mother of God. We do not win the affections of our fellowmen by despising or making little of their mothers.

How can you call Mary an ordinary woman, and at the same time pretend that you have studied the Scriptures? Would God choose an ordinary woman to be the Mother of His only Son, when He had countless millions of women to choose from? The prophet Isaias spoke of her coming centuries before (vii. 14), and God sent from heaven a special ambassador to announce her supereminent dignity (Luke i. 26), and another to comfort St. Joseph in his doubting (Matt. i. 20). Both the angel and St. Elizabeth called her "blessed among women" (Luke i. 2&, 43), and her own prophecy that "henceforth all generations shall call me blessed" (Luke i. 48) is fulfilled to the letter every day by Catholics the world over.

Instead of detracting from the love of Christ, devotion to Mary increases our love for Him. The devout client of Mary is ever the strong defender of the divinity of Jesus Christ, her Son. The divine maternity, as the Council of Ephesus clearly recognized in 431, has ever been the standard of orthodox belief in the true doctrine of the Incarnation.

Love for Mary, the masterpiece of God's creation, by its very nature leads us to the love of Christ her Son. He cannot be jealous of the praise we give her, for every one of her privileges and prerogatives are His own free gift. Is the artist jealous of the praise you give his masterpiece? Is the author jealous of the praise you give his book?

Answer 2

If you read the Bible, you will find that Jesus never said he was "the word" of God. That is a title assigned to Jesus in the commentary that John adds to the life and words of Jesus in the first 5 verse of John chapter 1.

Jesus did accepted the title of Son of God on several occasions:
Luke 22: 70-71 They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying I am." Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."

Matthew 14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Matthew 16:16-17 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

John 1:49 Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."


And Jesus also used "son of God" when speaking of himself:

John5:25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

John 11:4 When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

John 10:36 Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'? 37 Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. 38 But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

According to the Bible, your claim that Jesus never said he was the son of God is wrong. Sorry...

Answer 3

I am a Christian. I do believe that every one of us is a child of God. What makes Jesus different is that He is the only begotten Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. The only people that claim Christianity and do not believe this are the Jehovah's Witnesses. To all other churches, belief in the divinity of Christ is what defines our faith, in other words no one is a Christian if they do no believe that Jesus is God. Oh and by the way I am Catholic so I hope some non-Catholic Christians read that and can stop calling us idolaters,(please)

Answer 4

A lot of people will refuse Jesus on this earth and go to hell ! Remember as busy as missionaries are and churches trying to win people over to christ so is the devil let's not forget about him and remember the one third of all angels he took with him when god kicked satan out of heaven where do you think those angels are now ? Of course they called demons and they are here on earth working really hard to keep people from going to heaven one day. So I think people are beeing blinded , confused and mislead by the devil and because of it some will never believe . Just read the Magazines out there look at our schools ... and see how god is beeing taking out of everything slowly. It's the work of the devil. Thats why you and I my friend need to make sure we wittness to others so they have a chance to see the truth don't be discouraged you know the bible tell us that this will happen and many people will turn they back on Christ.So let's get busy and win people to Christ it's up to us believers to get the " job " done that's why we are still here correct ? Good Luck and God Bless you !! nicole( read John 3 ;16 )

Answer 5

First of all you are only a son of god if you are saved.God was Jesus in the flesh.Jesus said in John10:30.I and my Father are one.John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,but he that came down from heaven,even the Son of man which is in heaven.Jesus had a mother her name was Mary. Read the book of Matthew.Also if you are not a son of God then you are ason of the devil.

Answer 6

Revelations 1:7-9:
7Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.

8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Jesus is the one with that is pierced


John 17:5 " And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."

Gives new meaning to Jesus saying I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.

He was there at the beginning and He took part in creation. Refer to Gensis chapter one for this. It says Let "us" make man in our image. Note the "us".

Als refer to John 1:1 for this. Kind of what you quoted above, but you quoted it completely wrong.

More proof He is God:
Omniscience-(knows everything) John 16:30 " Now we can see that you know all things"

Omnipresence(He is everywhere)- Matthew 28:20, "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"
Matthew 18:20 "Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them"

Omnipotence(all powerful)= "Matthew 28:18-"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."

Eternality- already listed above

Immutability-Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

"Jesus not only claimed to be God, but He backed it up with amazing feats of healing, with astounding demonstrations of power over nature, with transcendent and unprecedented teaching, with divine insights into people, and ultimately His own ressurection from the dead, which absolutely nobody else has been able to duplicate. So when Jesus claimed to be God, it wasn't crazy. It was the truth"- Gary R. Collins-Phd

Phillipians 2:10-11 "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

I want to end with a quote from C.S. Lewis, former athiest who set out to disprove the Bible and ended up meeting Jesus face to face and making Him Lord and Savior of His life. :

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral t4eacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He woudl either be a lunatic... or else He would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not lef that opent to us. He did not intend to."

Answer 7

I think this comes in 2 catagories, the trinity, and the social issues of today. The trinity tells us of God, Son, and Holy spirit nd how they are all in one. Society today has people so stretched on their sense up up and down it is hard to see God as a Father figure if your own wasn't playing the part to see how the two are alike.

Answer 8

We are taught to believe that Jesus is God's son Literally. I was raised Christian and I still am, but I know that Jesus is God's Son just like I am and you are. He was a prophet, but to believe that JESUS was the only prophet (messenger) sent down to us is crazy to me. It took exposure to other religions and reading other material for me to understand that.

Answer 9

Jesus is the foundation of Christianity..without Him and His sacrifice there is no Christianity....and yes when He states he is the Word he is saying exactly that he is the same as the father....and Adam was merely a man

Answer 10

Christianity IS that Jesus is the son of God.

Answer 11

The crux of Christianity is that Jesus was the Son of God.

Jesus in fact did claim to be the Son of God.

"The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
