Mary is not worshiped, that is for God only. Mary is venerated, or honored.
Only practicing Roman Catholics worship Mary as the Mother of God.
The Catholic Church has never worshiped Mary. They worship God alone.
Only God is worshipped. Mary is venerated and honored because she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus- but she is not worshipped.
Roman Catholics
No, Mary is only in the Catholic Church. They do acknowledge she was the mother of Jesus, but do not worship her.
No. Nothing is said in the Bible about worshiping Mary. This is an idea dreamed up by the Catholic Church
no they did not. they worship god and jesus christ the lord
Mother Mary is the Mother of Jesus Christ - the spiritual vessel of the Holy Trinity. God chose her to give birth to his Son, so that the Son of God may come down to earth as the Son of Man. She was without sin and was very obidient to God's wish. So along with Jesus, Roman Catholics worship Mary as their Mother and the Mother of mankind. So you might find statues of Mama Mary in Churches. ================= Roman Catholics do not WORSHIP Mary. She is revered in the way that the Jews revered the Tabernacle. She an example of simple obedience to God.
Of course not! in the bible it says The only way to get to heaven is through Jesus Christ our Lord. Catholics do not worship the Virgin Mary as worship is reserved only for God. We do, however, honor and venerate Mary as the Mother of God.
Why do catholics devote themselves to Mary? Christians worship Jesus Christ and that he died on the cross for our sins. But how i look at it, catholics worship mary because he was her mother. that doesnt make sense. She didn't do anything except for give him birth, while Jesus was cruciied and died so we could live. i think catholics shouldn't devote themselves to mary. Not at all.
Catholics worship only God but honor Mary.
i belive no. but it is your choice. god is the 1 that really was the mirical One meaning of the word worship is "A feeling of profound love and admiration". If this is the reason for your worship then this is acceptable, for a person may have such feelings for another person. However, where Deity is concerned the scriptures tell us that thou shalt worship God alone and no other. This is where our true worship should be directed. Worship is due only to Jesus Christ. Mary is the Mother of God, but she is not God. Therefore she is venerated and honoured, not worshipped, because she is blessed and highly favoured by God (Luke 1:28, 42 and 48).
