There is absolutely nothing in the New Testament to indicate one should pray to dead people or ask them to pray for you, Mary included, no matter how “holy” they were on earth. There is one intercessor in heaven

Something is not in the bible doesnt mean it's false. The gospels and epistles were targetting the jews and gentiles to tell that Jesus is the son of God, who died for us but resurrected in the third day. Not about saints,. bcz they are the ones who were writing the gospels and epistles at that time . how can we pray to saints when they were already alive at the time of the writing of the bible. @@nenevz2948

​@@nenevz2948REV 6:10 The souls of the martyrs are before the throne of God, crying out for justice. (they are conscious and actively petitioning God) LUKE 23 v 39-43...Jesus told the good thief "today you will be with me in paradise" ● REV 19 v 14...when Jesus returns he will be accompanied by his heavenly armies of saints. Revelation 8:1-4 [1]And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. [2]And I saw seven Angels standing in the sight of God. And seven trumpets were given to them. [3]And another Angel approached, and he stood before the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he might offer upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God, the prayers of all the saints. [4]And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended, in the presence of God, from the hand of the Angel. 2 TIMOTHY 1: 16-18. Paul prays for the dead Onesiphorus.

Hi Jebamalai, you can find the full texts of many of the pope's addresses and homilies on are website at Aleteia.org. Thank you!

@@aleteia-spiritualityandins7558 Thanks for your reply, albeit it is 8 months late. I would welcome the videos in your you tube channel as provided by CNA channel , with bold subtitles and 2 to 3 minutes length, with medium slide speed suitable for international audience. I am regular to your site , aleteia.org. Nowadays CNA a wing of EWTN does not offer any Papal videos, (because of their disliking of Pope, I presume) I hope you could fill in the void for such a wonderful opportunity , through, not your website but You Tube channel.

@@danamalar Sorry we're for the delay, a lot of KZfaq comments get buried but we're happy to hear you're a regular! Several times a month we produce longer videos like you're asking, 2 to 3 minutes, but most of our content right now on KZfaq is shorter, but thank you for sharing the feedback! We'll share it with video department.

@@aleteia-spiritualityandins7558 *Aleteia thank you so much for such a warm reply, kindly see this CNA video just for an example-* *kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpyhgbKJzNbaeWQ.html* _I think this is their last of Papal messages in their site._ *I earnestly request you to give similar videos with bold fonts, slow transition to read and understand the message with added backround music wherever original sound not applicable, as often possible. This will become a great evangelisation tool and you will be the facilitator of such a noble work.* _You can give the video with original sound of Holy Father speaking in Italian, wherever possible_. _As we used to collect and send links of such messages, videos through whatsapp groups, it will benefit so many faithful._ *God bless your holy and noble work.* 🙏🙏

It is avoidable. Repent.

@@gxbenzi I will

of c not the vatican.

And how would that state of mind be reflected visually? What do these things mean to you? Darkness, confinement. Mud, stink, reptiles These represent base thoughts and feelings do they not?

@Samiya Masih are u Christian? Well if you are then you are the first Christian i have seen till now who is not justifying these idiotic thoughts ?

@Samiya Masih Let me ask you this: are interpretations of reality subjective or objective? So if it is real to her, then it is real to her. We all can feel free to disregard her vision of course, But what I have a hard time understanding is why the ridicule? Please explain.

You will find out when you get there. As long as you believe that hell doesn’t exist, the less incentive to avoid it.
