Quote the bible (book, chapter and verse) and debunk these: (NO sarcasm please) If you refuse to even debunk even 10, proves my facts ARE the truth!!! FACTS: #1--Christ NEVER taught that Peter is a pope.-(where is the title Pope in the Bible?) #2--Christ NEVER taught that Mary will go to heaven. (Where does the bible say Mary will go/has gone to heaven?) #3--Christ NEVER taught that Mary is a mediator/intercessor. (Where does the bible say Mary is a mediator? #4--Christ NEVER taught that Mary never sinned. (Where in the bible does it state Mary never sinned?) #5--Christ NEVER taught that Mary remained virgin. (Where in the bible does it state Mary remained a virgin?) #6--Christ NEVER Taught that a mere man is head of His church. (Where is the Bible does it state a mere man is head of Christ's church?) #7--Christ NEVER taught about a church named Catholic. (Where in the Bible is a church named Catholic mentioned?) #8--Christ NEVER taught that we can pray to the dead.-(Where is the bible does it state we can pray to the dead?) #9--Christ NEVER taught that the dead can hear our prayers. (Where in the bible does it state the dead can hear our prayers #10--Christ NEVER taught that anyone can change the day of worship . (Where in the Bible does IT STATE GOD changed the day of worship to Sunday?) #11--Christ NEVER taught to confess to a "priest". (Where in the Bible does it state we are to confess our sins to a Priest?) #12--Christ NEVER Taught a priest can forgive your sins. (Where in the Bible does it state a priest can forgive our sins #13--Christ NEVER taught salvation is through a church..(Where is the bible does it state our salvation comes from a church #14--Christ NEVER taught to pray to, or with beads!!! (Where in the bile does it state we are to use/pray to beads?) #15--Christ NEVER started a church named Catholic!!! (Where in the Bible does it mention a church named Catholic?) The bottom line is, the Messiah kept the Law perfectly, and we are to walk as he walked according to the Scriptures at 1 John 2:4-6. Those who do not follow Messiah’s footsteps are workers of lawlessness according to the Messiah himself. By your refusal to refute my facts, implies they ARE ALL CORRECT!!! Isaiah 8:20 To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no light. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CHRISTIAN The Greek word Χριστιανός (Christianos), meaning "follower of Christ", comes from Χριστός (Christos), meaning "anointed one", FOLLOWERS of the TEACHINGS of Christ!!! Written 2000 years ago! NOT my interpretation!!! >>> A Christian (/ˈkrɪstʃən, -tiən/) is a person who follows or adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. --And NO CATHOLIC follows Christ and HIS Teachings!! I suggest you ask yourself: Is this what Christ taught??? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> POPE BENEDICT XVI: While Catholic believe the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it is true, “one cannot take individual biblical quotes or passages and say each one is literally true.” “It is possible to understand the sacred Scriptures as the word of God only by looking at the Bible as a whole, a totality in which the individual elements enlighten each other and open the way to understanding. It is not possible to apply the criterion of inspiration or of absolute truth in a mechanical way, extrapolating a single phrase or expression.” Catholic News Service, May 2011

Jesus gave us the Catholic Church with the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian faith-the True Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ Himself. Mary was assumed into Heaven at the end of her life, because the womb that bore for 9 months the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, God Himself-could never be subject to rot and maggots and worms! Come home to the Catholic Church. Remember that Jesus warned: “If you do not eat My Flesh and drink My Blood, you will have no life in you.”

[@DarkAngel-cj6sx]

@Broruben Mont The catholic has been around for over 2000 years and came with a lot of traditions that were practiced before the Bible was put together. For example, Our Lady of Kibeho taught the visionary Claire how to pray the 7 sorrows of Mary and asked her to teach it and reintruce it to the world. Before that, she appeared to a visionary from Sweden with the same rosary. She said she appears to whom she wants as longer as it doesn't interfere with Her son will. She foretold the Rwandan genocide 10 years before it happened. If you are interested just ask God if it is ok to pray the rosary and do your own research about her apparitions. That is what I did anyway and now I am here declaring that I finally have a heavenly mother. All of this since last April during lent that when I started asking God. Now I have decided to devote my whole life to the 7 sorrows of Mary rosary. Asking her to pray for me in the name of Jesus Christ has been the best testimony of my life. Good luck if you are truly searching and not trying to call catholics names

John 3:13 ESV No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. (Assumption of Mary is a catholic dogma). Exodus 20:4-5 ESV “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, Hebrews 9:28 ESV So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Romans 3:23 ESV For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Including Mary). John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have eternal life.(Mary didn't die for your sins only Jesus did). The bible says MANY will be deceived. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Please I implore you to read bible. Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Not to Mary).

bornagainsaint1 You do realize that she isn't taking the light away from Jesus? She's highlighting that a woman just like us humans, born like any other human, made the choice to give birth to the Son of God because she was chosen by God for being a worthy Candidate. Without hesitation she said, "Let it be unto me Lord.", faced persecution, gave birth to God-Man, raised him as her own, kept watch of his ministry, then watched him suffer in every step of the passion and at the feet of the Cross. She wept tears because she knew better than anyone that Jesus didn't deserve the death on the cross She was the greatest witness to Jesus even more so than all of the Apostles.

No wonder God Himself says, 'Come out of her my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. The Catholic Church that is! The Catholic Church is not my mother and never will be - she is nothing but a whore!

+Horses4life1001 the tilma proves that she is in heaven! it's been unfaded and unchanged for 400 years!

[@Horses4life1001]

Malachy Smith She is in heaven, she was sinner and she was Saved by her Savior-Jesus, her soul went to heaven after she died, just like ALL who believe in Christ. But she did NOT ascended there with her body like the church sais. The Assumption is based on another UNbiblical philosophy, that she had no sin. Assumption of Mary could NOT take place if she was sinner. Bible says that Mary was a sinner We have Mary`s words in the Bible that she is A SINNER and she NEEDS A SAVIOR Luke 1:47 "and my spirit rejoices in God, MY SAVIOR" Bible says that there is NO human born on EARTH who did not sinned Ecclesiastes 7:20 "Indeed, there is NO ONE ON EARTH who is righteous, NO ONE who does what is right and NEVER SINS" Is Mary a human from earth? God WARNS against HUMAN TRADITION and philosophy like that Colossians 2:8 "BEWARE lest any man SPOIL YOU through philosophy and vain deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" But the Catholic Church is still lying to people and if you disagree you going to be excommunicated and YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE CHURCH, regardless if you believe in God and Savior- Jesus The Son of God, and your faith supposed to be based and judged on FAITH IN OUR SAVIOR JESUS just like God does. But NO, Mary is more important in this CULT and they judge your faith based on belief IN MARY not in Jesus. Check for yourself with the Catholic Canon, you not going to believe your eyes,that they will TELL YOU TO GO BECAUSE OF MARY

we can take this and examine it for eternity but, the only truth is, is that Mary is the mother of our Christ, she gave birth to him, helped him grow into a man and the watched as he died for all of us......what a wonderful strong woman she is........research all you want she is amazing beyond any of our thoughts and dreams......SHE IS THE MOTHER OF CHRIST AND BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF BY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN........

P Franz Profound franz. We in africa are blessed with this knowledge. We have been corrupted for years by this solar scriptura which has deprived us of a great experience of the gospel. Even John himself said that the scriptura were written so that we may believe! Some even deny the epistles of the great fathers of the church why not hear from the people who saw the apostles and those who learnt from Jesus himself?

[@pfranz2449]

To sola scripture I say: - GOD has sais thru scripture: - do love GOD from the bottom of your heart with all you soul and mind and strength .. - do love your next (GOD-chosen Mother Mary is!) as - you love yourself - even love your enemy. They want _NOT_ to love GOD-chosen Mother Mary. She is less and worse than their enemy .. she is their enemy. Satan hates Mary .. his children hate her. GOD loves His Mary .. His children love her. She is GOD's creation. Nothing more and nothing less. His best creation. He dwelled in her. He lived in Mother Mary for 9 months. He made and chose her. In the man made old arc of covenant was the Holy Word of GOD in stone. In the new GOD-made living arc of covenant did the living WORD of GOD live in. Who loves GOD loves Mary. Who loves her not but insists to love GOD is a liar. 1Jn 4:20 If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen? 1Jn 4:21 And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother. beware of that raging wolves! Outside they look like sheeple .. like Christians .. inside they are raging wolves .. looking to make you fall. I know what I am writing about. They want not at all love GOD-chosen Mother Mary. ... they are liars. They are not of GOD. Thanks be to good GOD His every Word. Man lives not of bread alone but by every word of GOD (his warnings too! .. be aware of all those raging wolves - as He said .. He sent us out as sheeple amongst wolves).

Jesus who is the word of God was planted in Mary . The word became flesh and dwelt among us. Why was Jesus born of a virgin because only the blood of God could pay for the sins of the entire world. It is truly amazing that Mary carried her savior in her womb My soul magnifies the lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior.Luke 1:46-48.

Yes you’re right It is Jesus our only savior. Is Jesus your savior. Have you received your free gift of salvation yet. Call on Jesus and receive your free forgiveness and salvation and eternal life and Paradise Luke 23:34-44. Jesus alone is the Holy One. You alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord.You alone are the Most High oh Jesus Christ.

[@JoseGonzalez-lh8dj]

@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 Jesus is my savior, but we are not saved yet... if you think you're saved already then that must change. We strive to BECOME saved in Heaven by Christ. Christ's death on the cross and resurrection saved us from our sins, therefore giving us a CHANCE at salvation. Before his death, the gates of Heaven were not opened. After his death and resurrection, the gates of Heaven were opened, and God, who is Christ Jesus, welcomed those who accepted his love into Heaven, therefore saving their souls. Accept God's love, do his will, love others as he loves you, answer the call to the sacraments (bapstims, confession, receiving his Holy Body and Blood, Confirmation, etc.), go to the holy Mass. This is what God calls us to do. We are not saved yet, as we become saved when we reach Heaven, and I'm praying that you do so as well as all souls on earth.

[@seanrathmakedisciples1508]

Jose Gonzalez meditate on these verses. 1 John 5:13. I write these things to you Jose who believe in the name of the Son of God ( Jesus) so that you Jose might know that you have eternal life. John 3:16. You have eternal life. Ephesians 2:8,9. By grace you have been saved through faith (believing) and this not of ourselves as it is a free gift of God and not by works so no one can can boast. You are either saved or still lost. But I believe that you are saved. Baptism always followed immediately after believing that Jesus died for all your sins past present and future sins ( 2000 years ago on Calvary). and being filled with the Holy Spirit by asking Jesus to fill you. The rest of our lives is led by renewing our minds by god’s word and becoming disciples of Jesus while making other disciples. Acts 2:38 Saint Peter gives us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Go make disciples of Jesus.What do believers do they simply believe that Jesus has paid the price in full Luke 23:34-44

[@TheBubblydimple]

***** Do u ask people to pray for u for or if people ask u to pray for them, do u rebuff them and tell them to go directly to God? We Catholics believe the powerful prayer of the Blessed Mother. If Jesus has been seen talking to Moses and Elijah in Mt 17:1-13 and Lk 9:28-36, why not the Blessed Mother nor the Saints? To think that most fundamentalist always question the *'Assumption of Moses not being in the Bible'* but seen talking to Jesus very much alive. If we are encourage to ask for prayers from others, why not ask for the help of the Saints in heaven? These saints are part of God's plan to bring everyone else to HIM. *The Saints prayers are very much in Rev 5: 8* "When he took it, the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders held a harp gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the Holy Ones or Saints." So the Saints must be aware of our prayers if they are offering our prayers to God. They are aware of our petitions and present them to God by interceding for us. John is very much explicit that the saints are actively interceding for us since they are holding the incense offerings which are the prayers of the saints to God. Prayers are not physical thing that can be offered. When everyone asks for prayers, we mediate on behalf of that person, we intercede on behalf of those who are asking for help. Prayer is not, by definition, necessarily equated with the *'Adoration' that is due God alone. Prayer CAN certainly involve an act of adoration when it is directed to God, but the term does not necessarily denote adoration. It can simply mean “an entreaty’.* In Latin precari "to ask earnestly, beg, entreat.” Example laying hands while praying could mean invoking a spiritual blessings on someone. Thank you for not blaspheming the Blessed Mother, unlike others who have so much hate against the Mother of Jesus. God bless.

Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant - that is true. She contained within her the living Bread of Life, the living Word of God, the eternal High Priest. John the Baptist danced before Mary just as David danced before the original Ark of the Covenant. There are many more correlations, some of which are mentioned in this video. Mary is the new Eve and the Queen Mother. I would also like to point out that during the Mass the Bible is read - the first reading is from the OT, then there is a Psalm, the second reading is from the NT, and then there is the Gospel. Catholics actually read the Bible and hear it when they attend Mass. I'm just pointing this out as I am often told that Catholics never read the Bible and know nothing of it.

[@theonlymeaning]

DancesWithBears John the Baptist "leapt in his mother's womb" very poetic wording for "stirred in his mothers womb"...you know that. MARY IS NOT ANY QUEEN...referring to Mary as "The Queen of heaven" has caused GREAT division in the church...Sorry to have to admit it is indeed a pagan( direct from goddess worship) expression and forbidden in the Bible! I learned that in a college course on Ancient goddess worship....not a Protestant school, nope. Remember when the New testament referred to the Goddess Diana as "Diana, whom the WHOLE WORLD WORSHIPS " ????? She was a virgin goddess. COME ON!The infant stirred because the baby Jesus was nearby!Just enjoy your devotions to Mary and don't judge those who disagree or consider only Christian those who agree. Respect and admire and even love Mary, but do NOT put her on a Throne! Oh God help us all.

[@danceswithbears2521]

theonlymeaning Diana never existed. Mary did and does. When I began studying Scriptures to find out the parallels between the Ark of the Covenant and Mary, I was really surprised to find out there were so many. Here are some: 1. The ark traveled to the house of Obededom in the hill country of Judea (2 Sam. 6:1-11). Mary traveled to the house of Elizabeth and Zechariah in the hill country of Judea (Luke 1:39). 2. Dressed as a priest, David danced and leapt in front of the ark (2 Sam. 6:14). John the Baptist - of priestly lineage - leapt in his mother's womb at the approach of Mary (Luke 1:41). 3. David asks, "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" (2 Sam. 6:9). Elizabeth asks, "Why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1:43). 4. David shouts in the presence of the ark (2 Sam. 6:15). Elizabeth "exclaimed with a loud cry" in the presence of Mary (Luke 1:42). 5. The ark remained in the house of Obed-edom for three months (2 Sam. 6:11). Mary remained in the house of Elizabeth for three months (Luke 1:56). 6. The house of Obed-edom was blessed by the presence of the ark (2 Sam. 6:11). The word "blessed" is used three times; surely the house was blessed by God (Luke 1:39-45). 7. The ark returns to its home and ends up in Jerusalem, where God's presence and glory is revealed in the temple (2 Sam. 6:12; 1 Kgs. 8:9-11). Mary returns home and eventually ends up in Jerusalem, where she presents God incarnate in the temple (Luke 1:56; 2:21-22). (Source: www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/mary-the-ark-of-the-new-covenant) 8. The Ark of the Covenant contained the stone tablets, manna, and the budded Rod of Aaron. Mary contained within her womb the Word of God, the Bread of Life, and the eternal High Priest. 9. The Ark of the Covenant was constructed to specifications laid out by God Himself. Mary was created in the Image and Likeness of God. As for being a queen, the heavenly kingdom is foreshadowed by the Davidic kingdom in the OT. In that kingdom, Bathsheba was the queen mother and Solomon would not turn down her request. Mary is the Queen Mother to her Son, Jesus. I believe Scriptures are the word of God and are of paramount importance. I believe them all. I know that God became incarnate through a Jewish woman named Mary, not a fake goddess that never even existed. God chose to come to us in this way so it is fitting. And I am not going to complain about it or tell God I don't like it or beg to differ. And I would be careful about comparing the Theotokos to a fake pagan goddess. You posted: "Just enjoy your devotions to Mary and don't judge those who disagree or consider only Christian those who agree. Respect and admire and even love Mary, but do NOT put her on a Throne! Oh God help us all." Have I said that anyone who disagrees is not Christian? Perhaps you have me mixed up with someone else because I have NEVER said that and I find the thought repugnant. Where did you come up with that? And do I need your permission to respect, admire, and love Mary? I did not put Mary on a throne. God did. She is the Queen Mother because of God's grace. Gabriel called her "ketcharitomene", which basically means "chock full of grace". Gabriel is a messenger. God is the one who made Mary full of grace. Jesus followed the Ten Commandments. Among those Commandments is "Honor thy father and thy mother". Jesus, being God, honors Mary perfectly. Should we do any less? Shouldn't we try to be like Jesus?

[@danceswithbears2521]

theonlymeaning You posted: "The infant stirred because the baby Jesus was nearby!" This is the word of God: And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. (Luke 1:39-45,DRB) Do you want me to white-out those words and change them to "And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and the infant stirred because the baby Jesus was nearby"? Note what Elizabeth said to Mary. "Blessed art thou among women", "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?", "as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy", "blessed art thou that hast believed". Elizabeth herself used the words "leaped for joy" and she was filled with the Holy Spirit when she said them. So she was speaking the absolute truth. But you want it to be "the infant stirred because the baby Jesus was nearby"? No. The word of God is far too important to screw around with. I will stick to the Scriptures here because they are the word of God and what you have said is not.

[@theonlymeaning]

DancesWithBears St. Mary, mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was not compared to Diana, rather I was comparing this elaborate "enthronement" concept to the historical and Biblically recorded practice of goddess WORSHIP of a virgin.... and the more I review it the more I think I am correct. Ever stop to think why the Holy Spirit caused the writers of the Scriptures to record the fact of that worldwide practice(WHOM THE WHOLE WORLD worships) ???? Nothing went into Scripture accidentally...at that time, in Northern Europe and South America, in the Polynesian Island cultures, in the plains of north America and the area now called the American Southwest, VIRGIN Goddess worship actually was practiced! Perhaps there was the meeting of a Chinese citizen Jew in Jerusalem (yes, they existed too!) who on a holy Pilgrimage to the Temple told about his trade route adventures (read about The Silk Road) , his life in China where Virgin Goddess worship existed and does to this day and it has spread to all of Eastern Asia...very big in Viet Nam by the way...it was known in ancient times of the Goddess Worship in Africa of course as Solomon traded with that area of the known world.. perhaps China too, Jews went there as traders thousands of years ago.. The writers of the Scripture had no clue about what is now Scandinavia, Polynesia, the American Continents...how did they know "the WHOLE World worshipped a goddess like Diana...Diana was the only one in the Middle east AT THAT TIME...before that her name was Ishtar, "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" ...God says that is "an abomination to the Lord"....I did not say that, God said that in His Word.. I know you have a Bible.As an American you have that right and freedom to do so,, that is one of the main reason my own ancestors came to this country....religious freedom...openness and access to Holy Scripture which keeps the believer OUT of Darkness! Why do you think the translators of the Bible into English willingly went to the stake? Or did you not know about Tyndale and Wickliff ? Martyrs for you and me ! So we might have the Bible, so it would not be kept locked in a golden treasure box, not hidden or forbidden . !Look back into history, Goddess worship iis always there, so much so that those who seek "original faith" "ancient Truths" often are even misled back into goddess worship, even today! And it isn't a bunch of loonies but highly educated people! They want and seek out authenticity and assume that going back to some "origin" is Truth...N O T ! My original ancestors, and your's too, were human sacrificing pagans who worshipped a QUEEN of Heaven...it is in the Holy Scriptures! The ancient Celts, the Vikings, the Greeks, the Romans, the Sythians, the Gauls, the Norsemen, the Saxons, etc etc etc etc Celtic pagan origins is very big currently...we need to be cautious. For some, going back to Rome won't be authentic or original enough,.... so they go to Orthodox (Eastern) worship. .....okay, Jesus is Lord! amen! then again, .some return to Judaism, Messianic or otherwise...I know of what I am saying here...this is what is the bigger picture out there....Jesus told us that in the End Days there would be this sort of thing...Mankind LOVES religion, from the very beginning...beauty and pageantry candles, incense, and form and sights and sounds to delight our eyes, ears and sense of smell...who does not love all pf that? It is beautiful and lovely!What did the old Testament say "I sought Him in the thunder, in the roaring wind, etc. but He was in "the still, small voice" God is Spirit. The Bible tells us that again and again...and again! Still we all want pomp and ceremony, thrones,, crowns, , yes, God help us! What made Cain so angry at God and at his brother Abel that he murdered Abel in a rage? It was a rage of religious zealotry, by the way...not only sibling rivalry as some would limit it..Cain had made his OWN form of worship, not God's instruction ,, he wanted to worship with his hard earned (by the sweat of his brow) perfect vegetables and fruit and bread and no doubt he arranged it in an exquisite way, pleasing to the eye and it may have had fragrant flowers adorning it! His pride of achievement was there, it was the first temple, the first caththedralI was meant to worship God. It was meant for God.Remember exuberant Peter who at the vision and sight of the heavenly three wanted to build an altar right there? But Jesus or Lord rebuked the disciple. But......the big but... Jesus angered, incensed the Pharasees and Sanhedrin to a murderous rage (not unlike that of Cain, defending God's honor!) by telling them that the temple was going to be destroyed! He had earlier told the woman from Samaria that the day was coming when all who worship the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (His Father , our God) would "Worship Him IN SPIRIT " you do know that, I am certain. ," ENTHRONEMENT " of Mary proves it is worship of Mary and not just praying and communion of saints. .Not the "great cloud of witnesses" St. Paul wrote about. WHY ISN"T the CREATOR of the WORLD Who deemed it fit , necessary even !!! to take on human form to save us , why isn't THAT ENOUGH? Why is He not enough? Yes, I do encourage you to respect and love and admire Mary! I tell others that all of the time....hold her up as the prime example of obedience and motherhood...non-catholics are sorely remiss in that area...out of fear of excess, not because they do not like Mary but because they BROKE from Goddess worship,, ,DO NOT WORSHIP her. ... pray for Light and God's leading through His Holy Spirit,you will receive it. I am nearly 70 and my eyesight is poor and I do not type well, please pardon mis-spellings and typos. Love to you, in the Name above all Names, the Name of Jesus.

[@theonlymeaning]

DancesWithBears Totally agree with you re:the Word of God is far too important to (mess) around with (it).I especially like how in the Magnificant Mary, filled with the Holy Spirit in Her Spirit and Jesus in her womb, said "MY REDEEMER".....why did she need a Redeemer if she was sinless? If she was a Queen (God is not locked in time nor Space) "Jesus Christ the SAME Yesterday Today and Tomorrow"...Mary is the greatest of all women in the Bible, Mary is the mother of Jesus, Mary is the symbol of Israel, the picture of the universal church...I recommend MARY THE WOMB OF GOD by Sister Ann Theresa Shields...a Franciscan nun in the 1970s....don't know anything about her since then...I understand the reason Christians called Mary the Mother of God...if one believes Jesus is God and is encountering those who did not, common place in the early centuries, then stressing the Mother of God aspect is indeed important...that DOES NOT mean she is to be ENTHRONED...sorry, no where is that shown and to have a QUEEN OF HEAVEN is actually very FORBIDDEN....You are very well read, so now read about the virgin goddesses...oh, Mary was given the birthdate that fits into the astrological sign of Virgo! The Sun was the PRIMIER pagan sign, even more so than the virgin goddess...enough already I am old and tired and my eyes are giving out...but let me just say that the great success with the AZTECs in Mexico, even after they were horribly conquered was 1) SUN (solar) worship 2) drinking blood of a sacrificial victim 3) virgin goddess Now, that was NOT an aspersion cast at the Lord's Table (far be it that I should do that, ever) or Eucharist or Holy Communion, whatever you wish to call it, but it figured into the conversion of the Aztecs who LOVED hearing it was real blood...Queen of Heaven theology in ancient days went hand in hand with Sun Worship....come on dear ones, what exactly is our faith, the Faith of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior...why scream and yell and wave the banner of St. Mary? Who else does this sort of thing? Are we Shiites and Sunnis? Are we going to fight amongst each other when the World needs the Saving grace of Jesus? Satan must be laughing and all of his demons too...I know personally (or knew) a woman who went from Christianity to Goddess worship...the woman has a master's degree from a fime university, maybe a Ph.D by now I suspect. She was the daughter of a pastor and the daughter inlaw of one. She wanted REAL and AUTHENTIC original, ancient religion..".one for the ages," embracing all in Earth...she chose neo-paganism, then Wicca and finally Dianna worship...alive and well today...she first "fell in love with the virgin Mary" and wondered why Mary had been "ignored" or "played down" by protestants....well, she herself is an example a perfect example of why..it happens when Jesus is not "enough" and the desire to be more ancient and original. more "authentic" takes over....

Mary is also considered Archetype and model of the Church so the parallels between the women of the Apocalypse, Mary and the Church are all valid. Many texts in the Gospels reveal that: especially in Luke's annunciation and visitation to Elizabeth where Mary speaks on behalf of Jerusalem. Also, the 2 scenes of Johns Gospel where "THE MOTHER OF JESUS" is mentioned, the wedding of Cana and at the foot of the cross are loaded with meanings revealing, according to the evangelists, the importance of the role of Mary in the history of salvation.

[@theonlymeaning]

Antonio Banderas Yes, yes and yes....agreed.True and all in Scripture and especially yes to Mary as model of church (Universal Body of Believers)But NOT ENTHRONEMENT.....And Mary said "Do WHATEVER my son tells you" Mary has a role in the Salvation of Mankind of course! BUTBUT!There is NOT to EVER be a "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" Nor anyone .....enthroned but JESUS, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Thank goodness that I live in this century and do not have to fear the fire ofimmolation for saying that. Nor being flayed alive. Nor beheaded. Nor torn to pieces in the town square. There was a Catholic priest imprisoned by Fidel Castro in the last century Cuba who was horribly tortured and told to deny Christ Jesus....His dying words, as he Endured and became an Overcomer and Martyr for CHRIST were J E S U S C H R I S T I S K I N G ! not a word about any queen.

[@ilariomauch]

Mary is Not a Mediator Between God and Men By David J. Stewart "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." -1st Timothy 2:5 The Mary which Roman Catholics worship is notthe Mary of the Bible. Biblically, Mary was only human. God chose her to be a vessel to bring His beloved Son into the world. But Roman Catholics bow down to statues of Mary, exonerate and venerate her more then Christ Jesus. In Exodus 20:4,5 God said, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them..." Mary would never be a part of this! She was not there when Christ created the universe. Christ was God long before she was ever born. Bowing to Mary is a sin! Roman Catholic teaching states Mary was sinless. That is not true. In Luke 1:46-47, she too admitted that she needed a Savior. Like all Jewish mothers, Mary gave a sacrificial offering of two turtle doves (Luke 2:21-24). Romans 3:23 declares, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Catholics have created a monster, called The Blessed Virgin, or Queen of Heaven. The Catholic Mary is a fraud, a demonic myth. Catholics teach that Mary was born without a sin-nature (called the Immaculate Conception), lived a sinless life, remained aperpetual virgin, and was bodily assumed into Heaven. Not one of these false doctrines can be supported with the Bible. Yet, Catholics fully reject the Word of God to keep their own TRADITIONS instead (Mark 7:9). Mary saw her son crucified, but He came to die and pay the price for all the sins of mankind, including her own. God's blood ran through Jesus' veins (John 3:16; Acts 20:28). If you are saying that Christ is without sin, then you are right. You can find this teaching in 2nd Corinthians 5:21 and 1st Peter 2:22. The Scriptures state there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4) and one Mediator between God and men, and that is Jesus Christ (1st Timothy 2:5). Jesus is the ONLY one we can go to for salvation (Acts 4:10-12). In John 14:6, Jesus said He is the ONLY way to Heaven. There are absolutely NO two mediators.

Thank you Scott for your perspective of the Faith. I have relatives of another Christian denomination, and when I visit their Church, It always seems to be scriptures in the general area of the readings read in Mass. I enjoy the worship service, and the contemporary Christian music/psalms. My non-catholic family and friends make me feel welcome in their congregation. Why do some Christians judge us for including Mary in our prayer life? I've been to a couple of Calvary chapel services, here in Massachusetts, and it felt as if every example of how not to pray, was the ways that we catholics do. I have nothing but love for my sister's & brother's in Christ. I wonder if other Christians knew the headache it causes, would they open the eyes of their hearts, and accept us in light of our differences in traditions? Converting the convinced isn't really what the great commission's intention is. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, all the apostles and saints knew and know this. Love one another as He has loved us.

Paul McGrath You say "I have nothing but love for my sisters and brothers in Christ. I wonder if other Christians knew the headache it causes, would they open the eyes of their hearts, and accept us in light of our differences in traditions?" Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her." Rev. 18:4-8 "Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!" Rev 18:16-17

FYI Mary is the ark of the convenant. Meaning she held the true bread from Heaven Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant had the bread from Heaven and the ten commandments. In the book of 2 Samuel 6, it says that Uza touch the ark and he died. Therefore, Saint Joseph never had children. If he ever "tounched" Mary, he would of died. I could give you more info. :)
