Worship of Mary in Catholicism
06:28 - 12:46
- The podcast host found an interesting thread on Twitter discussing the worship of Mary in Catholicism.
- According to the thread, there are three distinct things happening in the New Testament: preaching and teaching, prayer, and worship.
- Preaching and teaching in the synagogue is not considered worship or prayer, but rather a public act to be heard by men.
- Prayer is conversation with God and can happen anywhere, but it should be done privately according to Jesus' teachings.
- Worship, on the other hand, happened in the temple and involved offering sacrifices to God.
- Sacrifice was the universal language of worship in ancient times, and even though animal sacrifices are no longer offered, true Christian worship is still sacrificial.
- Catholics do not worry about worshipping Mary because they do not offer her sacrifice. They venerate her and ask for her intercession, similar to asking a friend or parent to pray for them.
- The misconception that Catholics worship Mary stems from a misunderstanding of the biblical concept of worship.
