The Gospel According to Saint Matthew
4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and wor****p me.
4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt wor****p the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.
4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.
Only GOD deserves to bee wor****ped!
But here is some questions:
Is it lawfull to ask a dead saint for prayer?
Is it lawfull to pray for the dead saints?
Is it lawfull to ask Mary for prayer?
