When you view a mortal as a co redeemer and equal in divinity to God, it is no longer about the fact that you believe in Christ, itâs the fact that youâve added something else to it.When Jesus prayed he wanted all of his followers to remain as one, to gather together in prayer, there is no mention of leaving his mother out. Being part of the Body of Christ is the very antithesis of idolatry. For those of you who can meditate without any distractions entering your mind, be thankful. There is no need to stomp on those who use simple, but effective techniques to maintain the focus you are blessed to have. For some reason the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector comes to mind.Thatâs great and all but the disciples asked Jesus how to pray and he didnât say anything about his mother. Itâs idolatry. The Fathers prayer is focused as well, no need for an intercession from the Virgin Mary. If you read the Bible, you clearly see that we are to meditate in His Word day and night. If you need beads and a crucifix, youâre not worshiping in spirit or truth.
Defending idolatry is as bad as practicing it.
