If you actually believe the scriptures as being without error and being the word of God then you might consider ,that in 73 books of the bible that you claim to believe, that no one prays to anyone other than God. No one prays to anyone other than God. In those 73 books is the example of who we are to got to so your asking Mary to do something for you is not scriptural at all.

it's actually sufficiently revealed in the Bible. Being the New Ark is sufficiently demonstrated, and in the Psalms, the Ark is declared to be requisitely in Heaven. The Ark is not her soul, it's her body; which is what John clearly sees and declares. It's even clearer than Jesus' divinity because He never declares Himself to be God nor asks us to pray to Him. But the Ark being in Heaven is in black and white.

This reminds me of the faithfully true refrain: "A text without context is pretext." And alas, no such beliefs about Mary exist in either scripture or the earliest Fathers. But what's that against abstract philosophizing cloaked in pious theological garb. Hence, the "Queen of Heaven" Part 2: "But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem." Jeremiah 44:17.

Tiny question, in revelation we see Mary giving birth and crying out in birth pains, yet traditionally we believe that the birth was painless, like "light passing through a pane of glass". Is it contradictory to believe that Revelation is speaking of Mary and that she had a painless birth? Is the author using literary devices and it is for dramatic effect and not referring to the birth of Jesus or referring to the pain not because it was painful but for some other purpose? Any theologians in the comments would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a theologian, far from it, but I have heard an interpretation that goes: *The Catholic is the Mystical Body of Christ on Earth. * At the Presentation in the Temple, Our Lady was told by Simeon that a sword would pierce her heart. *Mary always knew that her Son would have to suffer and die. *She is known as Mother of Sorrows, Mater Dolorosa. *She suffered, as any mother would, seeing Our Lord crucified. *The Woman of Revelation, Mater Dolorosa, gives birth to the Church; the Mystical Body of Christ on Earth.

There isn't a symbolism of Israel and the Blessed Mother fits better, when you look at her as the queen mother, the mother of Jesus and fleeing to the desert. I think your interpretation works but I think on the primary literary level it is Mary Mother of God in that scripture.

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it. Luke 11:27-28 - No where in the Bible are we instructed to venerate dead people and ask them to pray for us - Just because it's been practiced a long time doesn’t make it correct. - The RCC has tried to mend the veil and become the conduit to salvation.

Here’s some practical proof for Mary’s Assumption. No faith venerates and hold dear first class relics of saints more than the Catholic Church. The most important of those relics would be from our Blessed Mother. But we have NO first class relics in spite of there being two tombs of our Blessed Mother, one in Jerusalem and one in Ephesus. Why is there no first class relics? Because she was assumed, body and soul, into heaven where she sits as the Queen Mother with her Son, the King of Kings.

The problem as I see it in praying for the dead, assumes that time passes at a similar rate in Purgatory as it does on Earth. It may be that the time in Purgatory is equivalent to a flash on lightning here on Earth. Purgatory is outside of time and space, so there is no "time" as we know it. We know that Heaven and hell is eternal, but we don't know anything about Purgatory other than as Catholics we believe it exists.

Seven Roman Catholic blind spots: Rome says, “We will use the word “Father” as a formal and professional title for our clergy.” But Scripture says, “call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven” (Mat_23:9 ). Rome says, “Our bishops cannot be the husband of a wife.” But Scripture says, “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife...” (1Timothy 3:2 ). Rome says, “There is nothing wrong with having statues and icons.” But Scripture says, “Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yahweh your God.” ( Lev. 26:1). Rome says, "All our saints are dead." But Scripture says that EVERY member of the congregation must be a saint while they are still living. Romans 16:15, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Corinthians 6:2, Ephesians 2:19, Ephesians 4:12, Ephesians 5:3, Philippians 1:1, Philippians 4:22, etc. Rome says: You are encouraged to incorporate repetitive elements in prayer with "decades" of ten repetitions. But Scripture says, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions..." Matthew 6:7 Rome says to honor Astarte (Easter) and Saturnalia (December 25th). These were already pagan holidays of Rome before Christianity got there. But Scripture says, “And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” (1 Corinthians 11:24-26). In other words, when He said, “this do ye as often as ye drink it” He was referring to the cup of Passover wine and the unleavened bread of the Passover meal that He was having with His disciples. Rome says, “You need to submit to our authority if you want to go to heaven.” But scripture says, “... If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:23). The Father and Son want to abide in you. Your body is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit and not a church building or a church altar (1 Corinthians 6:19). There is absolutely no room for any religious organization to insert itself into this equation. They have no right to make this kind of spiritual power grab.

One Protestant blind spot… You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, there are plenty of differing beliefs in the world today. But to glean this from the historically decidedly Catholic Trinitarian book is just plain silly… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century and ONLY the 27 books, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself? Peace!!!

For 1500 years after Jesus died and was resurrected there was only one church …..the Catholic church founded by Jesus Himself when He anointed the apostle Peter as the first pope " You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church" Then 1500 years after that along comes Luther ( after Satan had whispered in his ear) and split the church apart ….just as Satan had instructed . Luther Calvin and others started the rot . ( Now remember this was 1500 years after Christ founded His church …..there was no protestant church at the time Jesus walked the earth ….it was the Catholic church Catholic means universal . From the Greek word KATOLIKOS. Martin Luther, an EX CATHOLIC wanted to reform the Catholic church but took it too far. He began the great division in the church in the 16th century .He believed he was inspired by God and that no one could criticize his ideas. He was a narcissist...he said " In a 1000 years no bishop has been bestowed with such gifts as God has bestowed upon me". He said he is certain that he has received his dogmas from heaven …..he said " I am the prophet of the Germans ". But the fact is he followed the teachings of Henry of Ockham. He started translating the bible from Greek without having any knowledge of Greek .He translated the " man is justified by faith " into " man is justified by faith alone " he added the word " alone " by himself .When someone criticized him for that he replied " Doctor Martin Luther translates it that way and that's how I want it."....over 1400 errors were found in his translation .He excluded certain books from the bible by his own authority …..he said the epistle of James is nothing more than straw because it does not present any evangelical character. Regarding the book of revelation he said that he does not find anything apostolic or prophetic in this book. He commissioned rude paintings of the pope of that time and got it published ( is that the conduct of a holy man ….a man inspired by God ?). When he blessed people he would say " May the Lord fill you with his blessing and hatred for the pope. ( Is that a blessing ? Or a curse?) On marriage he said that marriage is mandatory ….that woman was not created to be a wife but to beget children they only serve for marriage or prostitution. He said he hates divorce so much that he prefers bigamy. He allowed prince Phillip to have 2 wives and justified it based on the bible and when people found out…. he lied and said that one was his concubine and not his wife. He loved the virgin Mary and said she was the tender mother of God ….in his dining room He had the crucifix and and image of Mary holding the infant Jesus . He accepted baptism and the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. He later said that Lutheranism was no better than catholicism

The Assumption was added to RCC theology by hitler's pope pius VII in 1950. It was not accepted by anyone for almost 2000 years after CHRIST. I love Mary. She is my Christian sister, fellow servant, and fellow saint as are all true believers in CHRIST. CHRIST stopped Mary veneration right at the first as follows: Luke 11:27 KJV "And it came to pass, as He (Jesus) spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto HIM, Blessed is the womb that bare YOU, and the paps which YOU have sucked. 28 But HE said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the WORD of GOD, and keep it." Mary was a sinner. Keep this in mind: Romans 5:12 KJV "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all mankind, for that all have sinned" Romans 3:10 KJV "as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after GOD. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one." Matthew 19:16 KJV "And, behold, one came and said unto HIM (CHRIST), GOOD MASTER, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And HE said unto him, Why call me good? there is none good but one, that is, GOD..................."

Actually, you are wrong on all counts. To begin with, Pope Pius VII lived from 1742 to 1823. I don't think he ever met Hitler. It was Pope Pius XII who pronounced the Dogma of the Assumption. Do you know what a dogma is? It is the AFFIRMATION of a truth revealed by God, and which has been believed since the beginning of the Church. Dogmas are declared to combat heresies, and the heresy denying the Assumption had growing since the sixteenth century. The Dogma sets things straight!! Your other arguments regarding Mary and the Bible are very popular with Protestants, the same old, dreary complaints come up over and over again, and we always explain.

That's nowhere in scripture. The church teaches Mary was assumed into heaven. That's nowhere in scripture. The church teaches that Mary is a dispenser of grace. That's nowhere in scripture. This is why the Roman Catholic church hates the Bible and sola scriptura. The Word of God is the enemy of the Roman church because it refutes the false teachings of the church. Heb 12:2 is who we are to focus on , so start questioning what you are taught.

Sola Scriptura is a myth..... Made up by protestants who only came on the scene 1500 years after Jesus ascended into heaven 😂.... So why would anyone in their right minds listen to people who came on the scene thousands of years after Jesus ascended into heaven ..... I would rather listen to the Catholics who walked and talked with Jesus.... Direct from the main source.... NOT SOMEONE WHO HAPPENED ALONG 1500 YEARS LATER.... FOR 1500 YEARS EVERY CHRISTIAN BELIEVED IN THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY..... UNTIL THE RABBLE ROUSERS PROTESTANT THOUGHT THEY TOO CLEVER AND BROUGHT THEIR OWN NARRATIVE.... MARTIN LUTHER..... WHY WOULD THEY GO AGAINST THE TRUTH?... IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOLA SCRIPTURA THEN YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW WHATS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE WOMAN BEING CLOTHED WITH THE SUN.... OTHERWISE YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE...... PROTESTANTS HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW CHURCH HISTORY..... BEFORE THE BIBLE THERE ONLY WAS ORAL TRADITION UNTIL PAUL AND MARK ETC STARTED WRITING GOSPELS AND EPISTLES.... THE BIBLE WAS ONLY PUT TOGETHER IN 382AD..... By the Catholics...... There were no protestants at the time the Bible was put together you guys came along 1200 years later.... and corrupted the Bible..... Martin Luther your god removed 7 books from the original Bible on his own authority..... Who died and made him God 😂 Not everything is in the Bible..... Otherwise the Bible would reach to the moon and back... EG.... THE BIBLE STATES : " AND JESUS PERFORMED MANY OTHER MIRACLES BUT THESE ARE RECORDED SO THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE".... So if you use Sola Scriptura then you only can say that Jesus performed only those miracles mentioned in the Bible otherwise you a hypocrite..... SOLA SCRIPTURA IS A MYTH PROTESTANTISM IS FROM SATAN PROTESTANTISM IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND TITHES....... ASK ANY EX PROTESTANT 😂.

Here Bruce... Some church history to educate yourself : For 1500 years after Jesus died and was resurrected there was only one church …..the Catholic church founded by Jesus Himself when He anointed the apostle Peter as the first pope " You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church" Then 1500 years after that along comes Luther ( after Satan had whispered in his ear) and split the church apart ….just as Satan had instructed . Luther Calvin and others started the rot . ( Now remember this was 1500 years after Christ founded His church …..there was no protestant church at the time Jesus walked the earth ….it was the Catholic church Catholic means universal . From the Greek word KATOLIKOS. Martin Luther, an EX CATHOLIC wanted to reform the Catholic church but took it too far. He began the great division in the church in the 16th century .He believed he was inspired by God and that no one could criticize his ideas. He was a narcissist...he said " In a 1000 years no bishop has been bestowed with such gifts as God has bestowed upon me". He said he is certain that he has received his dogmas from heaven …..he said " I am the prophet of the Germans ". But the fact is he followed the teachings of Henry of Ockham. He started translating the bible from Greek without having any knowledge of Greek .He translated the " man is justified by faith " into " man is justified by faith alone " he added the word " alone " by himself .When someone criticized him for that he replied " Doctor Martin Luther translates it that way and that's how I want it."....over 1400 errors were found in his translation .He excluded certain books from the bible by his own authority …..he said the epistle of James is nothing more than straw because it does not present any evangelical character. Regarding the book of revelation he said that he does not find anything apostolic or prophetic in this book. He commissioned rude paintings of the pope of that time and got it published ( is that the conduct of a holy man ….a man inspired by God ?). When he blessed people he would say " May the Lord fill you with his blessing and hatred for the pope. ( Is that a blessing ? Or a curse?) On marriage he said that marriage is mandatory ….that woman was not created to be a wife but to beget children they only serve for marriage or prostitution. He said he hates divorce so much that he prefers bigamy. He allowed prince Phillip to have 2 wives and justified it based on the bible and when people found out…. he lied and said that one was his concubine and not his wife. He loved the virgin Mary and said she was the tender mother of God ….in his dining room He had the crucifix and and an image of Mary holding the infant Jesus . He accepted baptism and the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. He later said that Lutheranism was no better than catholicism

@@chommie5350 Well that was a nice excuse for not looking to scripture for your answer. Luther is not someone to follow , ,Jesus IS . Ever noyice that the roman Catholic church points out all the negatives about Luther but shys away from discussion of all the corruption happening in the roman Catholic church when Luther was alive? You do not call a council to discuss flowers in front of the church. Trent was called to address two items 1. Corruption in the roman Catholic church 2. and what to do with the reformation group as it tore itself away from the corruption of the roman Catholic church. There is only one church and there is only one body of Christ and that is comprised of all born again believers in Christ . John 3:3 is not a suggestion. Salvation of your spirit is what is pointed to by faith without any works included Eph 2:1-22 All through the scriptures of the new testament we find that everything we do is by faith. Works that we do for God mean nothing unless we are doing those works in faith. Salvation is by faith , not faith and works ,not faith and mass attendance , not faith and baptism , it is by faith . So ignore what Luther said and read the bible for yourself . ignore what the pope says and read the bible for yourself. Heb 12:2 tells us who we are to focus on and it is not His mother or any person that teaches you anything, it is Christ alone not Christ and someone , just Christ. John 14:6 excludes anyone else as it is Jesus alone who redeems you. There is no position of cardinal or pope in the early church, these were added after 385 AD when the roman Catholic church started. Catholic being universal in context is correct but when you add roman to it , it becomes anther meaning. Salvation is only through Jesus and not through the church. The church is made up of all the believers in Christ ,it is not an organization that claims to have authority. Focus on your redeemer that is Christ, not on any church group that claims to be the one and only, when in reality they are not.

You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, there are plenty of differing beliefs in the world today. But to glean this from the historically decidedly Catholic Trinitarian book is just plain silly… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century and ONLY the 27 books, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself? Peace!!!

To say that the womb that carried God Himself was used by another sounds like an insult to God . It is important to realise that whenever one speaks about Mary , her sinlessness, queenship , titles, or roles , all of them point to Jesus in a most exquisite way. Therefore, whenever we say good about Mary , we say good about Christ Himself . whenever we talk bad about Mary , we talk bad about Christ Himself .

The apostolic fathers do call her mother of God specially those you mentioned. And as St. Robert Bellarmine stated, "I refuse to believe that the dwelling place of God became food for the worms". Indeed we can also infer that assumption is impossible given that Elijah also went to heaven in a similar way. Moreover, Mary as the new ark of alliance is the most Holy thing in creation, which again we can go back to St. Rober Bellarmine.

"I always wonder how Catholics get convinced by their alternative reading of scripture and not take scripture at its first value!" I always wonder how protestants never seem to notice that they all have different interpretations from each other. Whose interpretation is correct? Well, I'm sure you think it's yours. So you've made yourself the final authority in interpreting the Bible. I would be very worried if I were in that position. Quick question: in scripture, where does Jesus tell us to go to settle disputes? Is it the Bible? Anyway, even if what you're saying were true, it wouldn't make a difference. Maybe John didn't witness the assumption, or know about it. Maybe he did, but didn't write it down. Maybe he did write it down, but that writing was lost to history. There's a lot of options you're just ignoring to suit your own bias. Thank you for your comment, but I think I will stick with the Church that Christ himself founded, that he promised would be the pillar and foundation of truth, that would be led by the Holy Spirit into all truth, that holds the keys to heaven, that is the Body of Christ. God bless.
