to Jesus, the HUMAN form of God who was human and now dead, any different? Catholics pray to Mary to intervene for them. They were all human.

Well hell Lazerus was risen too. Through God/Jesus. So Jesus was risen through God, so its all the same thing. No offense guys but you need to make up your mind. It amazes me how the story changes with the question

Acts 4:12 tells us there is no salvation unless through Jesus so praying through Mary is wrong.John 14:13 Jesus says what ever you ask you must ask in my name.
John 14:28 States that his father is greater than he .
Jesus was dead but he was brought back to life by his farther and returned to heaven, so he is not dead

There sure is a difference. Jesus is risen, Mary is not. Which is why I don't pray to her. I pray to Jesus, who has the fullness of the Godhead dwelled in him. He's the Almighty. And if you look in the book of Acts, Mary was filled with the Holy Ghost as well as everyone else. She was just used of God, no different than a prophet or anything else.

Well, since Jesus is also a part of God, praying to Him makes a whole lot more sense than praying to His earthly mother. The Bible says that Christ sits at the right hand of His Father, it doesn't say where Mary spends her time.

God's not dead. He is very much alive and the only one worthy to be praised. if you knew Scripture you would know that even Mary did not want people worshipping her because she realized herself that she wasn't special, but Jesus was. Thank you for finally admitting that Catholics serve Mary first, not God. You can't pray to a sinner and expect them to speak on your behalf. Just like you can't confess to a priest who is probably more of a sinner than the one confessing! Geeess!! It's no wonder judgement has come down on the Catholic church and that's exactly what it is...God's righteous judgement. He says in His Word " I alone am God and I will not share my glory with another." Catholics need to wake up because you are on the wrong path: popes, priests,Mary and those beads you chant with. That's freaky-deaky!!

Jesus Christ is not dead. Jesus arose from the grave. Mary's bones are still in the ground. We are not to put Mary before Jesus Christ so why pray to Mary when you can go straight to the Lord in prayer. Don't put Mary before Christ Jesus. Praying to Mary or any saint is wrong. In so doing you could be inviting evil spirits to influence your mind.
Jeremiah 7:18
the children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
verse 23 "Obey My voice, and I will be your God....."
How many voices do you think God wants us to listen to?

You answered your own question. The difference is that Mary was not human Son of God - just Christ, who then resurrected 3 days from his death. Mary was nothing than a vessel for his birth.

Parying to Jesus is wrong too. He isn't God and he cannot save you.
And Jesus is not the Human form of God, if you say that, then you're saying that God himself was crucified. Jesus was never crucified, and why would God deceive all you Christians? God doesn't trust you enough that He put himself in Jesus's body and came upon Earth? Wow.
The only being deserving to receive prayer is God alone, not Jesus nor Mary nor any other propehts. Simply ALLAH(SWT) alone.

Jesus rose from the grave and assended in to heaven he was taken up bodily before 500 people. he is God and still speaks to us unlike marrie or lazereth who were only human.

Because we believe Jesus is NOT dead. We believe in the resurrection. Therefore, for us, Jesus is still very much alive.
P.S. Lazarus never claimed to be divine.

i guess they ignore Rev. 8:4
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand
but with Mary, or any saint, its not praying to, it's praying THROUGH. the equivalent of asking a friend to pray for you.
