In the bible and archangel never greets a human person by saying : 'hail person full of Grace'! And never would because angels are superior spiritual entities and the archangels are near God...

And why wouldn't our God be born of a Pure woman ? He sent an archangel before him. If would wanted just a 'normal' Mother he wouldn't be with that work, it's obvious.

the literal interpretation is that Jesus knew John would outlive all the other disciples and asked him specifically to take care of his elderly mother (since he would be gone). John did that.

Then you get born of the Spirit when you have repented,baptised and recived the Holy Spirit that fuses with the Human Spirit. Then you are a consived Child of GOD, not born jet.

[@tojesusthroughmary8932]

@mikekayanderson408 From a Catholic perspective, we understand that Jesus Christ is indeed the sole mediator between God and humanity, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (Douay-Rheims): "For there is one God and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself a redemption for all." And in John 14:6 (Douay-Rheims): "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me." However, Catholics also believe that this does not exclude the role of intercessors, such as the saints and Mary, the Mother of God. Rather, their role is to lead us to Christ and pray for us, as seen in Revelation 5:8 (Douay-Rheims): "And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints." Catholic Tradition teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints can intercede for us, but always through Christ, our sole mediator. This understanding is rooted in the Communion of Saints, which is based on the Bible and Catholic teaching. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 956), it states: "The intercession of the saints is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world." So, while acknowledging Jesus as the sole mediator, Catholics also believe in the importance of intercession and mediation through the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints always within the context of Christ's sole mediation.

Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" 57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town, and in his own household." Mark 6:3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?"

As I have stated in my testimony a few times in the comments of various posts of Dr. Marshall, I am a revert of the faith, and attend a TLM (that's where the LORD redirected me to go on the feast of Pentecost, 2021), thanks to the Holy Spirit's leading, and also using Taylor Marshall's videos and books to help me further understand certain issues I had my first 20 years of life as a Roman Catholic. The Holy Spirit took the time out in the Spring of 2020, while we were all locked up, to have me re-learn certain passages regarding mother Mary (Luke 1:27-56), and also the reality of the Presence of the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament (John 6:27-69). THOSE two major issues in my life (I spent thirty years outside the church, going to very good biblical non-denominational churches, and did learn a lot, I have to say) needed to be "cleared up", the Holy Spirit said, BEFORE He was to lead me BACK to the Church, but not disparaging the other good places of worship I attended (a messianic congregation, and a non-denominational church); nevertheless, in order to receive the Blessed Sacrament, and attend Mass as it should be (reverent, holy)--He led me to go to the Traditional Latin Mass. Thus the reason why He was soooo insistent on me taking LATIN for three years while obtaining my Bachelor's degree during that time (2018-2021)! Mystery solved! Lol!😆😂 EVERYTHING happens for a reason, and learning to honor and respect mother Mary, knowing what her exact ROLE is, and knowing (and understanding it much better!) the TRUTH about the real Presence, convinced me to return to the Church, and I thank the LORD every day for His leading and guidance in my life. It is truly amazing what the Lord can do in and through us, just like He did with mother Mary--BECAUSE she said, "YES" to Him--she fulfilled Isaiah 7:14, and became a perfect example to follow of a wonderful servant of the Lord. If I noticed that years ago of how mother Mary respected God's Word and His command to be who HE called her to be, I would have also recognized better the call on MY life, and would not have wasted 30 years of walking down "crooked paths", until the Lord brought me back wholeheartedly worshipping Him in December of 2016. Saying "YES" to the LORD when He calls you, will ALWAYS lead to something positive in your life! As hard as my calling is (informing and warning, and also dealing with spiritual warfare), the LORD has NEVER left my side, and has strengthend and encouraged me every step of the way. I am in a PhD program now for Bible Exposition (my MA was completed in May of 2023 in Biblical Languages, Language Exegesis); never in a million years did I think I could accomplish all of this. But with GOD, all I had to do, just like mother Mary did, was say, "YES, Lord", and it's been an amazing adventure ever since!🙌💖✡📖✝🕊

Catholicism is not the only part of christianity that venerates the Mother of Jesus. Christian Orthodox do too.

I personally always believed in the Holy Family where God shares a table with all his beloved ones including the Mother of God, the saints, the angels and all his followers. I will always stand for Mary - we call her in greek Παναγιά - means the Saint above all saints. She has been in my life since I was a kid when I prayed for my father to be released from jail. I slept with my mom that night and I prayed to our Mother in Heaven. She appeared to me in my dream that night, I woke up and I told my mother dad will be released. The next day my father was released and the judge found him - not guilty. She hears our prayers and she intercedes for us to God the Father. I love her and I will always pray her rosary.

Dr. Marshall, I take your point and believe there is truth to what you say about the Protestant’s consistent worry about being right about the Father’s, Christ’s, the Bible’s teachings. In fact, I find myself there right now. I think this could be a desire to know what is true and keep from false teachings. I believe that is what motivates me to worry about what kind of information is being input into my mind and does it glorify God. I think that has Biblical precedent though. I also believes this worry drives me to investigate the heart of Roman Catholic Dogma and Eastern Orthodox Dogma because I can think perhaps I am wrong and need to dive deeper. I do think you must be nuanced when you talk about Protestant view as “Jesus, my Bible, and me”. But it is not too much of a generalization I admit, however, from my perspective as a reformed Baptist, I think that I do allow other people into that capsule such as the Puritans and the reformers, and and what not so particularly in the reformed camp. Your generalization can be off base. I don’t think you find this idea of me, my Bible, and Jesus, at least to the extent of broader evangelicalism. However, understanding that idea of playing a part participating in the body and being connected through the body to Christ in the Holy Spirit is definitely an idea that opens up my mind to the possibility of continuing our love, not only for those in the world, but those who are now with Christ .

You should watch the movie "Convinced". Search for it. Dr. Marshall's in it. It's about all types of people from all religions, and atheists, who search for the one, true, pure religion. Awesome movie! I own it.

Thank you for this explanation for understanding. As one who has consecrated my life to Mother Mary and to Jesus through Mary, I cannot fathom the Protestant view of our Blessed Mother.

[@jacktracy8356]

The RCC erroneously and blasphemously gives to Mary the same attributes of GOD Who was manifested in the flesh, JESUS CHRIST. For example, The RCC says she is sinless. CHRIST is the only person that was and is sinless simply because HE is GOD. Also, the RCC says she hears and answers prayers 24/7 from all over the earth. This contradicts the HOLY SCRIPTURES as usual. We are instructed to pray only to GOD the FATHER by CHRIST HIMSELF in Matthew 6:9-13 KJV (the LORD's PRAYER). And in all the HOLY SCRIPTURES prayers are only prayed to GOD by Holy people. The RCC says she is the queen of Heaven. No such thing. GOD only has a bride in Earth and in Heaven which is the true Church which is a spiritual Church not palaces in Rome. (1 Peter 2:3-9 KJV) I could go on................

The devision among Christian’s is one of the biggest reasons that people do not believe in God. United we stand. Jesus prayed that they may be One (John 17)

[@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289]

Who says we disrespect her... but having an intermediary between us and our Lord Jesus Christ is NOT how it is supposed to work... Sorry if that offends you.

[@wms72]

So you never ask another Christian on Earth to pray for you? Because you're making that person a mediator between you and Jesus, according to your definition

[@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289]

@@wms72 that's a terrible argument and you know it is. Absolutely absurd, even.

[@billyjackson2605]

great video, thnx for the explanation, fellow Catholic here

[@Rossiegirl]

I am a protestant and I believe in the virgin Mary as most Christians do. I just don't believe she should be worshipped as Catholics tend to do. That is because there is nothing in scripture that requires this. It is man made, just as other things in Catholicism are/were. For example purgatory, which the pope informed us wasn't real after all. However, more binds us than divides us and we are ALL Christians, so I choose to focus on that.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Catholics don't worship Mary, she is venerated as the Mother of God.

[@kaymenden5317]

My sentiments exactly!

[@IHMTriumph]

Why do you believe "we are all Christians?" Shouldn't there be one faith that would unite all Christians that is clear and never changing? Catholics don't worship Mary our Blessed Mother. Why do you say that? Most protestants believe Mary had other children this is wrong and thus so not believe in the Virgin Mary- Jesus established one Church the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church as professed in the Apostles Creed. People become Catholic when they learn the truth about Catholicism such as we do not worship Mary and it is not man made like Lutheriansm, Calvinism, Anglicanism Evangelicalism ect- it takes time to and efforts- God bless your efforts to know love and serve God

[@sanctifyme4543]

Ah..the Mary worship lie spread by the devil....wake up.. you're being used.

[@randyheitman4324]

We love Jesus for Himself and through those who glorify Him❤

[@lizmiddleton2382]

Thank you, Dr. Marshall! You're absolutely right? I have the same problem explaining to my cousin's who have changed their Faith. 😢

[@freedominchrist63]

Very, very, very respectfully? Knowing Jesus Mother Mary was such an amazing, faithful, humble and obedient woman, where are we told to elevate her? The Bible tells me to only worship and pray to the Lord. The angels tell us not to worship them because we are fellow servants of God. I want to learn, but I'm a lover of God's word the Bible. I feel so much closer to God when I'm in his word, prayer and study. In these later day's I've drawn closer to the Lord and when I read the Bible it has become much easier for me to understand. The Lord is the love of my life and has been since I was a child. I always want to do what's right in God's eye's. Thanks so much. God bless.

[@markthomas6436]

Don't we all love, honor, and respect our own mothers? Do you think Jesus loves, honors, and respects His mother, who gave him bodily form through her blood by the action of the Holy Spirit?

[@Harlow65965]

You were told by Jesus from the Cross, “Behold your Mother”…. And frankly that should be enough for anyone.

[@LoveB-fr4du]

@@markthomas6436 Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. Matthew 12:48-50 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” Jesus has never worshipped His mother. Neither should we. He loves Mary as He loves us all - enough to die for each one of us. Did Mary die on the cross for you? Did Mary defeat death for you? She was a holy woman but she is not God, she never will be. We honor her memory and example as a holy woman of God - but we should never glorify her, because to do so is to dishonor her memory and most importantly, dishonor God.

[@freedominchrist63]

@Harlow65965 Thanks I'll study that scripture.

[@freedominchrist63]

@markthomas6436 OH yes definitely, but my Mom never liked me for some reason. My mother in law loved me. I just have to read it and ask the Holy Spirit to give me wisdom and discernment when it comes to God's word. Thank you for your response.
