An unrepentant Sola Scriptura fanatic, Ms. Bago should take time to read her bible again. Like most anti-Catholic fundamentalists, Ms. Bago protests against the doctrine regarding the mediatory role on salvation played by saints and the Blessed Virgin saying that their just humans like all of us. If so, these people must be hating St. Paul for saying in v14 in Romans Ch. 11: “… if somehow I can inspire those of my flesh, so that I might save some of them.” Same goes with Ch. 9 of Corinthians I “To the weak, I became weak in order to gain the weak; I became everything to everyone, so that I might SAVE some in every way.” What a blasphemer Paul must be for Ms. Bago and all her Sola Scriptura ilks must be!
“Patay na si Maria, sa paniniwala nyo ba eh may malay siya sa mga nangyayari ngayon? Pagkatapos ng pagkamatay ng tao, ang sunod ay ang paghuhukom..kaya paanong makakapamagitan si Maria eh wala nga siayng malay ngayon maging ang lahat ng mga santo nyo?”
Our Lord and God Jesus Christ Himself refutes this disgusting attack by Ms. Bago: JN 11:25 “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives in me and believes in me will never die. Do you believe in this?” Sola Scriptura attack dogs like Ms. Bago apparently don’t. There is NO SUCH THING AS A DEAD SAINT: Luke 20:38 “for him all are alive/ for all live unto him.” We don’t pray to the dead, we pray to our saints who continue to live and givve testimony to the glory of God!
If the concept of a mediator to God apart from Christ is absolutely impossible, then why would God even ask us to pray for one another? “And the prayer pf faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him pu. and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH JAMES 5:15-16
