WHY MOTHER TERESA SHOULD NOT BE A SAINT

Bismillah:


Nice to discuss with you again CC, i bet you missed me :D

It is common for Christians to ask other Christians to pray for them. I might ask my co-worker to pray for me if I am sick etc.

It is common for Muslims too, we too pray <b>FOR</b> each other, but we don’t pray <b>TO</b> each other.

Well, we believe that our brothers and sisters who have passed away aren't dead at all but are alive and in communion with God. Why would I stop asking for my brothers and sisters to pray for me simply because their phycial bodies ceased breathing?

Yeah, here is the point, how do you know that these people can hear each and every supplicant at the same time when you call upon them? Tell me; were your brothers and sisters <i>(the saints)</i> able to hear your prayers <b>when they were alive </b> if you call upon them <b>in secret</b>?

A) You sound like a "Bible Alone" Protestant. What is the bible Wel? You are trying to use the bible in this case to back up your false notions. It is funny that you now try to use it as an authorotative voice because before on this very board you have tried to discredit it and claim that it is not inspired! Which is it?

I am asking <b>YOU</b> to use it when trying to prove any of your points, anything in the catechism should match perfectly with what is written in the Bible, <b>but definitely this is not the case</b>. So before asking me to use the catechism, you should see what your<b> FIRST </b> book of authority said about these issues.


For example, your Bible <b>NEVER</b> called Mary <i>“the mother of God”</i> but you have no problem to give her such title; again you are calling her<i> “Queen of heaven” </i> <b>which was a title given to a pagan goddess in the old days</b>, who gave you the authority to give titles to those pious people when God Himself didn’t?


So what I am trying to say is that you should make clear distinction between honoring those great people and praying to them, because <b>the moment you call upon them it is considered to be an act of polytheism</b>, and the best way to honor those great people is to follow their example in your daily life.
