Why is it disrespectful to God to say you see mary in a dump?

Dude, it wasn't that clever in the first place. Stop patting yourself on the back.

No, I don't believe this is disrespectful. It is and has been accepted by the Catholic religion, and others,  now for many years. It is OK. It is the soul that lives on, not the body that our sweet Lord has put us in. Don't worry about that. I was worried about that once as well. Remember this as well, the burial then was different than now, so what about embalming? You are not going to pop out of the grave in the way that you died. Like I said, it is the soul / spirit that lives and we will walk with Jesus when he commands us to. I pray I am lucky enough to walk with Jesus. Or at least follow him.

No, they really don't,  and sadly, i doubt they ever will.  It's a fundamental part of their religion now, not to understand what they do.  Nowhere in the Bible does it say to worship saints, or to confess to another sinner about your sins--whether he's wearing a fancy robe or not.\n\nThat's why I'm non-denominational, I go to a Bible Church and I read exactly what the English translation says.  Nobody has a right to teach their own opinions on God and what he says and does.\n\nAnd Catholics worship Mary becausethey think that Jesus is God, and Mary was the mother of Jesus, so Mary is the mother of God.  Hate to break my tone of intelligent commentary, but that's just silly.  Mary was a sinner like everyone else, she was probably thinking when they kicked her out of the inn, "buncha l3@$T@ l^D$, i'm about to pregnant with your savior and you can't find room!?  Well then kick somebody out, I'm Mary dammit!"\nShe was just the mortal chosen to bring him into the world, that's all.\nIt was a holy game of chess, and Mary was a pawn used to put the king of the red team in check and send him running in fear behind his last pieces, but that doesn't mean the pawn deserves any worship--she's just a pawn.  She followed God's will, (she's so lucky).  No crying he makes!? WTF!, that's not fair at ALL!  she got to be the mother of the perfect child, not the well behaved one, not the nice one, not the smart one; she got to be the mother of the perfect child, that should be payment enough for her.

I would have to also say that even with a God it would still be offensive.  There is a lot of hatered in the Bible that is justified only because God says it is ok. If authority comes from the people and I am a person, I take its authority over me and judge it as evil.

Jesus didn't "give" her the job.  It was her idea.  she wanted to do it to show her appreciation.  read your Bible\nMatthew 26:7-13\n7a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor." 10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

They may not have been taught to, some people see it as wrong to be disappointed with God but many people in the Bible voiced their disappointment. The key is knowing that God is big enough to take it, gracious enough to forgive it, and loving enough to do the best for you anyway.

Yes, they do.  I asked this question once, too.  Check out my answers.\n***\nWhy is it okay to disrespect the Eternal Father but not the Eternal Mother?

it's part of our belief to see things as God's will ............ that's y they didn't make any comments, but be sure that their prayers were aimed at God asking Him to grant u strength to overcome that tragic event\n\nEDIT: ok, i see that i have to clyrify, since u're not getting any serious answers. what in ur opinion is better? to grieve or to accept ur destiny as God's will? i's really part of our belief to accept EVERYTHING  as His doing and maybe those ppl just assumed that u're also aware of it, although i must add they could have at least said ''God's will' \n\nbe blessed\n\nEDIT: to dummy, u're really a dummy! miscarriage is NOT a sin

In the interest of fairness, I looked at the person's comments as well as your response. Just wanted to correct one tiny little detail... The second comment didn't say that your writings would condemn you to hell, but that you would answer for them, and that you would be condemned if you did not accept Jesus... exaxt quote was...\n\n"God will hold you accountable for every word you speak and write, and ultimately what will condem you to hell is if you do not accept the payment done on your behalf by God himself"\n\nNevertheless, this is a small detail, and one that scarcely matters in light of the judgement and condemnation in this person's arrogant and holier-than-thou comments. \n\nI personally think that the worst thing said in these two comments was "You are useless to mankind..." \n\nHow utterly and fundamentally mean-spirited. \n\nAs a Christian, I apologize for this behavior. If the person wanted to witness to you, he/she should have left a comment saying, "I'm a Christian, and I'd like to talk to you about Christ and hear what you think about it." They shoould have left their name and let you contact them if you wanted to. \n\nI hope that you choose not to let this person (or people - could have been 2 different people) color your opinions of Christians as a whole.

I don't think it's that big of a deal either. Whether Jesus was married or not changes nothing for me. And it seems to make more sense that he was with Mary all the time if she was his wife, I always found it odd that he hung out with a prostitute. I think Catholics see sex as "sinful" so Jesus can't have any part of that. But then why is called Holy Matrimony? How is it wrong with your spouse? i don't care either way, there are more important issues for people to argue over!

The image of Christ nailed to a cross isn't really shocking.  If you go to church, especially the Catholic church, you would have seen it from the start.  That would make you desensitized to it.  As for the other stuff, I have no idea what you are talking about.  Religion is practicing free speech.  Just because you believe in religion does not make you a lower life form, nor does it make you primitive.  To tell you the truth, if you want someone to believe that you are a higher life form, learn to spell and use proper punctuation.

Well apart from being Jesus' love, Mary was a disciple and she was one of the inner circle. She was extremely intelligent, and many considered this unusual and didn't like her for it. I think much injustice has been done to her. The Catholic church has admitted that calling her a prostitute was an error (bible doesn't say this either), and now she's a saint. But she must be more than a saint and time will set things straight.
