WORSHIP GOD ONLY



This article is very interesting and can really stir up our minds and can make as think about it over and over again. We cannot let it pass in our mind but all need to be willing to know and learn if this is true or not. I was reminded by this article when my neighbors and friends ask me about this issue also. I didn't have an answer of this in that day, but now I already knew the answer that will not offend people who believe in Mary as there mediator to God. As a Roman Catholic before, I already experienced worshiping that image and even ask for blessings through her. I was reminded when I was a devoted Catholic, I really hated people who opposed that we can’t worship and ask Mary for something. But when I knew that it does not please to worship idols like Mary I turned my back from it and asked God to forgive me and my family by doing it. And right now, many people ask me about Mary and try to prove that they are right through the passages of the scripture. But I just let them express what they feel and after that I shared to them the truth. As the article present the idea it seems like it is really true if we don’t have knowledge from the word of God.  But I know the truth that Jesus is the only Mediator between God and man (1 Tim.2:5). I should share this to other people especially to those people who don’t know about this truth. I know that RC believes that Mary for them is next to God and Mary can ask whatever we ask from them. When we read the scripture about the Wedding of Canan it is true that Mary noticed that there was no more wine. But I do believe that Jesus Knew it already before Mary knew about it. I think they just misinterpreted the scripture that they read. As an answer of many questions that has been thrown to us is in the passage itself. When Mary said to the servants to do whatever Jesus would ask them to. Now Jesus teaches us that we should worship God with all our heart, soul, and spirit. So therefore Jesus alone should be worshiped and worthy of our prayers. I know that Mary is in heaven right now and she can’t hear us because she is not all powerful like the Lord Jesus Christ.
