As a matter of fact, no.
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun.

Thank you, Brother Bathfire, for such a lucid explanation that there is no such thing as a human family in Heaven. We see this also in the teachings of Jesus in the Book of Matthew:
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Matthew 22:25-30
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.... Jeremiah 10:25

Those are some pretty interesting verses. How exactly do you square the notions of eternal salvation and eternal damnation with the concept that the dead have no more a reward?
And doesn't verse 2 prove the Universalist case that all persons share the same eternal fate, regardless of individual beliefs regarding the sacrifice of Jesus?

Don't try and weasel your way out of my questions again like you did with this post. This is your second strike. Next time I'm calling you out.

Now based on the defintion of "venerate" and your own comments we know you pray to, honor, admire, and are devoted to Mary. We know you believe Mary to be an all present, all-hearing, all-seeing female entity (i.e. a goddess; let's not kid ourselves here) because she wouldn't see who you are, be able to hear your prayers, or be present to hear and see you otherwise.
Now based on the defintion of "adore" and your own comments we know you are fond of, honor, admire, and are devoted to The Trinity. We assume you believe The Trinity to be an all present, all-hearing, all-seeing, all-powerful force.
Drop the semantics, you altar boy butt burglar.
What do you DO in respect to Jesus that constitutes WORSHIP that you DO NOT do that constitutes VENERATION? Anybody can simply say, "I worship soandso". But what does this worship entail, pedophile?
?!?WHAT ARE YOUR ACTIONS?!?!

Only 4% have been caught? You guys are good. Professionals even.

My name sounds pagan, huh? Your faith sounds pagan. I'm guessing Jesus is Zeus and Mary is?... hmmm, I don't know: Hera? All your so-called saints(who you also pray to) make up the rest of the pantheon of gods. Has your pagan cult decide yet whether or not they are going to deify John Paul?

So - 4 percent actually rape the little boys (incidentally, how do you get that 4% number - is that the percentage that has actually been caught? Don't we all know that for every one crime that is proven, there are many more that are not?), and the other 96% cover it up. And every poor little Cathylick boy who walks into church is unknowingly playing some Satanic Faggot version of Russian Roulette.
These "Fathers" really make me want to vomit. If a single one of them had a shred of credibility, he would renounce his whore church, marry a good Christian woman, and enter the nearest Baptist seminary.
You can spew all of the so-called conflicting Bible versus you want, Padre. It doesn't change the fact that you are here at the bidding of Lucifer.

I always thought they worshipped Mary because the "priests" really want to be Mary. They do, after all, wear those gowns and wear fancy jewellry. They also seem to have a fondness for young boys instead of young girls.
And if the "priests" want to be women, then the nuns would naturally want to be men, just to "balance" things out.
(And their followers actually believe that their "priests" and "nuns" stay celebate for their entire lives! Hilarious!)

Quick question, Billybob. Are you saying that Mary is not blessed among women?

Could you show us the Scripture which states that your dead mommy and daddy are anything other than DEAD CORPSES IN THE GROUND until the time of the Resurrection of the Dead?
Yeah, I thought not.
Quit filling people's head with fantasies about people hanging out with Jesus right now, because until the Resurrection, they're rotting in the ground. With your precious dead Mary.

The dead know nothing. The resurrected know whatever God wants them to know.
Do you not know the difference between "dead" and "resurrected"?

She WAS blessed among women. Now, she is DUST. When she is resurrected at Judgment, she will be blessed in that she will (possibly) be accepted into Heaven. However, as the others have demonstrated, she will no longer be a "woman" but simply a being without gender.

I feel the need to point this out: The only thing you should worship is GOD. God. God.
Not some stupid broad.
besides, do you think worshipping someone who might not even have a soul is going to help? All Mary was there for is to give birth and tend to Jesus, and then God.
God made it clear that women are inferior, and should shutup and take care of the men.
Who do the silly papists ignore God's direct commands?
Repent, or be tortured in nasty ways with sharp, pointy things!
