1 | My mom is praying to saints for | Jude 1:9 | oscar | 30633 | ||
Hi, It seems that we both had the same problem. My mother was Roman Catholic and she asked the Saints of the Church (Catholic), for intercessory prayers. She already pass the way, and I am sure she is saved, because she was a wonderful person, she love God with all her hearth and she beleived in Jesus and took Him as her savior. She did not read the Bible, because on her days the Roman Catholic Church discourages its grey to read the Bible. Your mother is not worshipping the Saints and you can be sure she has Faith in God and this God is your God also. She is not praying to a graven image. You can be sure of that, but you could ask her, anyway. When she "ask" the Saints for intercessory pray, she is wrong because their are dead, and they will be dead until resurrection, if what we belive is true. But God is good and He reads our hearths. Thimothy 2:1 (not a good extrapolation) There is a lot of things we think are wrong in other churches, but His is the judgment. It is true that a corrupted tree will not bring forth good fruit, you are good fruit. You should glorify your mother and if she is asking for intercession, pray with her, for her and for you. Thanks God that He blessed her with you, and He blessed you with her. Do not judge her. Read the bible with her, even her Roman Catholic Bible, for your surprise, you will find that it is not that different than the Bible you use; in essence, it is the same as our Bible. Do not condem her, take her with you over the Word you love, but show her the same dedication she is showing; be a model for her on your own faith. Do not look on the forms, but on her needs; do not look on the forms, but on her hearth. Exodus 20:12 Deuteronomy 5:16 Because, you could be trying to change her rituals by your rituals, show her your ways and if you can get a better personal connection than she can do, she will follow you. May God Bless you and make a blessing of you. Oscar |

Quote: "When she "ask" the Saints for intercessory pray, she is wrong because their are dead, and they will be dead until resurrection, if what we belive is true." oscar, I would like to direct you to what Jesus says in Matthew 22:31-32 "But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' He is not the God of the dead but of the living." |

What you mean is that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are among the living? or that They already resurrected? or that they are the only exception to the rule? I do not understand your point. How did you made up your premises, how did you get into the conclusion. I do not ask the Saints for intercessory pray, but I cannot find any thing wrong in doing it . Further more, I try to interpret the Bible the best I can, but I do not think I own the thruth. Blessed are you that have the only thruth. |
