Do you agree?

Question

who is greater! God or human?
For theists the greater is absolutely God.
So why a lots pray and ask saints and prophets (for anything), why they don't ask the greatest, the God.
Do they feel shame to pray to God directly?
even muslims sometimes make their prophet as great as God, or greater.
I don't believe in a God who considers a person better than the other, and I don't accept my parents when they treat my brother/sister as he/she is better than me.
Do you accept that your parents treat like that?
Do you beg your brother to talk to your parents when you need something? if yes, so then there is a problem with the relation between you and your parents.

for dear DBznut: the Quote I haven't just heard or seen about it but I live among that.

Answer 1

God is greater. He made man in His image. It is Catholics that pray to saints. That is something that I never understood myself.

Answer 2

Yes, I agree. 1 Timothy 1:4 says that faith is the opposite of endless genealogies and myth. Therefore, family background, even position in the family isn't supposed to count.

The way that cults work is that they subtly separate parents and children, ever so politely, with various hidden barbs in there directed towards parents who try to parent their children. Cults are everywhere. Business is a cult. Nationalism is a cult. Homosexuality is a cult. None of those things should make a difference as to how Christians treat others, except if it's people inside the church using the stolen identities of others as sheep's clothing over their wolfish personalities.

Answer 3

As outlined in the Bible, one is to pray to the Father through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ.

In Gods Eyes, are humans are equal, but do have different responsibilities and positions before God.

Can't help you with your parents except to tell you to always respect and love them. Try to overlook their faults.

Answer 4

God delights in the family He has created and wants us to be in loving union with Him and each other for this is the nature of God and why He created us in the first place.
Now of course we can go directly to God in prayer and supplications but God also permits those who are in Heaven to bring our prayers before Him, it is in Gods order to do this and takes nothing away from God or in the worship of God.

Answer 5

Quote:
"even muslims sometimes make their prophet as great as God, or greater."


Haven't seen that or heard of it.

Answer 6

Allah (SWT) is greater than anything imagined or in existence. I don't see this in our community ("even Muslims sometimes make their prophet as great as God, or greater").

Answer 7

catholics pray to saints because they believe the saints are closer to God than we are, though i'm not sure why, nor am i sure if they are supposed to pray specifically to 'canonized' saints.

we are to pray to the Father, through the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. for those who believe in the living, triune God, that's about as direct as it gets.

Answer 8

So, you are saying the God is somehow separate from creation?

Love and blessings Don

Answer 9
