No. I'm raised Catholic and the one thing I don't like about Catholicism is how they hold the Virgin up there with Jesus, Holy Spirit, and God etc. I think the Virgin was just a vessel that God used to fulfill destiny. I don't think she has any special powers or should be honored as much as she is. It is to me like worshiping Idols JMHO

No.
The Catholic belief's in Mary are unsupported by the doctrines of the Bible. Mary died, and is dead, just like all the other people of her day (except for Jesus, of course).
Just to show that the Catholics are confused by the Mary issue: They believe that the woman in Rev. 12:1 is Mary; but it just takes a little more reading (vs. 17) to see that that woman had other children -- something the Catholics strongly deny that she had.

No. She was a blessed woman, but she was a mortal woman just the same.
She was an woman obedient to The Lord, but she is present with Him today just like every other believer that has passed from this life to the next.

I don't think so in some way.she is jesus' mother .I think the devil uses her in some way to trick the Catholics they really do worship her.I mean she even has her own prayer and there are lots of Statues /idols of her in their church and they pray to her.Thu si think there is some thing demonic related to her all becuz of the catholics,and based on this she probably has powers.
I was wondering if she had any more children Had she?

Perfect example of the best lie...
What is the BEST lie?
It's the one closet to the truth.
Mary is a BLESSED above ALL women.
But...she is DEAD....DEAD....DEAD.
It's Jesus we are to pray too...NOT Mary.
That is another trick of the devil.
the devil is as the "light of an angel".
sometimes he uses this kind of stuff for trickery.
Mary herself was the Mother of Jesus
EVEN MARY SAID IN THE BIBLE..
DO EVERYTHING JESUS SAYS TO DO.

That is a no. She was a woman - a godly woman - and of course Jesus' mother - but nothing more. Not greater than you or me. She is in Heaven and has no power on this earth. Furthermore, she didn't have power on this earth when she lived on it too.

No more than any other dead person has. Nowhere do you ever find Mary went to Heaven any more than any other person that has died.

No. If she does have 'special powers' so does everyone else in heaven... She is no different that anyone else who Believes in Jesus as far as God is concerned.

Her spirit would still be alive, just like our other ancestors. With so many people praying to her she would have power.
