Featured The New Eve; "the mother of my Lord" [Luke 1:43]

The Eastern Orthodox hold her in great esteem.

 

"So we quite comfortably adore her." This is to say you give her the same worship as God, is it not? Is that what you meant?

 

Not really. They hold her merely as a vessel, something that was used and then discarded.

 

mary was a person, same as all other humans. She lived & died same as everyone else. She is not divine. Her soul is in paradise, same as all the souls of the other righteous dead. She does not know, nor does she care about what's happening here.

She was not a perpetual virgin. She had at least 6 other children, conceived in the usual manner.

 

So when you die you are in a soul sleep limbo land? Or will you be alive in heaven, in Christ?

 

Verse please.

 

Let's talk the truth for the good of all. What is the use of honoring Mary and dishonoring God the Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ? JESUS says: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?(John 5:v.44)

What is the consequence of this cult of idolizing Mary? By the way, we must know, and be sure, that Mary died and is waiting her resurrection of this last Day, the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium. Yeah, what is the consequence of this idolater cult of Mary?

Remember that for this reason and the idolatrous tendencies within the church of Rome, dominated by the emperor of the Roman Empire and his possible successors, Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans warning them of the consequent punishments of the practice of idolatry. And which are or how sound these terrible punishments, according to the warning of Paul the Apostle to the Romans?

Romans 1:v.18&21-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The same religious leaders and followers of them which created and worship the image of Mary, mother of JESUS, are the same ones that have fallen into the practice of pedophilia within their Churches and other serious sins worthy of death, as punishments expressly revealed by the God's Word above.

Therein lies the idolatry and depravity within of the Churches of religious Gentiles and of their followers around the world as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Revelation 13:v.8-9
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship the Beast, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

 

Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth - or approves - Rom.14:v.22.

 

It is interesting that the spiritists invoke the deads in their cults like the king Saul made, and all the high hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church and their followers also invoke the deads and call them in their prayers like a disguised spiritism. They are lost.

 

JoeT your posts have a familiar "ring" to them.

BTW Mary - the mother of our LORD's humanity is a model of courage and devotion to us all.
Can't worship her and I'm sure she is horrified (should she know) when people do,

 

my bad and that's good to know Joe.

 

Mar 6:3

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

 

That verse says nothing about Mary having six other children.

In Jewish antiquity, "brother(s)" had a much wider meaning than we moderns use. There is NO scripture which identifies another as a son (or daughter) of Mary. Thus, any claim that Jesus had uterine siblings is one completely foreign to Scripture and the regula fidei of Christianity.
