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

Catholics are Marist. They have a cult of Mary. When Pope John Paul II recovering from his bullet wound, he thanked the Virgin Mary, not Jesus, who is God. But then Catholics want to call Mary the Co-Redemptrix of the universe.

 

Yes, of course. Is Christ not of the throne of David?

"You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." - Luke 1:31-33

And in the royal Davidic kingdom, who was the queen?

a. One of the king's many wives
b. The king's mother


--> 1 Kings 2:17-25

 

The best "position" I can describe is that she is the Mother of God. From this fact flows all Catholics know and love about her.

 

so Mary is Queen of heaven because Jesus is on the throne?

you realize Queen of Heaven is and idol goddess

Jer 7:18

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

 

She is the mother of body of Jesus, not God, God is a Spirit
Mary said it herself to praise God

Heb 2:14

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Jesus as God preceded His body

 

I

Who is Jesus? Nothing less than God Incarnated on this earth. You see, God wanted to actually experience His creation in the flesh, something He could not do as a spiritual being. He wanted to experience every part of it as we do - from sorrow, to pain, to happiness, and yes even having loving parents. So personally, I do not think it a stretch to see her as the "Mother of God", His earthly mother to be sure, but His mother nonetheless.

 

You are confounding heavenly things with earthly things. The Virgin Mary is not the Co-Redemptrix of the universe. Marist such as Pope John Paul II have spurred on the cult of Mary in the RCC. Mary was a sinner just like all of the other children of Adam and of Noah and she was in need of a Savior. Jesus created her.

 

What is an idol goddess doing in heaven? You quote the wrong Scripture passage as no such thing could exist where God exists.

Rev. 12:1-2 says, “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.” Ummmm, not what could this be all about? Could it be:

1. Crown of 12 stars meaning the 12 tribes of Israel.
2. She was with child and in pain, meaning giving birth to the Savior.
3. Crown signifying Queen as the counterpart to Jesus, the King of Kings.

Is this possible? Only when we get to heaven will we find out for sure!

 

She is not the Mother of God. She is the woman who gave birth to Jesus, but He created her. Jesus existed before the earth was created. Mary was four thousand years after Adam.

 

SCRIPTURE, PLEASE ?

 

Just showing that, aside from bearing & giving birth to Jesus while still a virgin, she was an ordinary Jewish woman of that time/place,

I believe the "Mary = perpetual virgin" idea was started by former worshippers of Athena (Roman Minerva) who was considered to be a perpetual veigin. Anyway, it's FALSE!

 

Jesus won't be on david's throne til He returns & takes over it.

Scripture:Luke 19:12Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

Obviously, He won't return with a whole kingdom. He will take over the throne of David, wherever it may be now.

 

Luke 16:19-29 (KJV) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)


Psalms 49:15 (KJV) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

Psalms 86:13 (KJV) For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

Psalms 89:48 (KJV) What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Hebrews 12:23 (KJV) To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

 

Again, goofy!

All the names involved were VERY COMMON Jewish names then. Plainly, the men of Nazareth, having known Jesus & His human family since they returned from Egypt, were speaking of MARY'S OTHER CHILDREN. Scripture does NOT say mary remained a vergin forever-it says Joseph had no "relations" with her UNTIL SHE HAD GIVEN BIRTH TO JESUS.

 

the word for you post is anthropocentric

There is no marriage , or any kinship on Heaven

this is why He came

Heb 2:14

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

 

Agreed.

Jesus is our advocate because He knows exactly what we are up against down here because He experienced it all Himself. No longer is God removed from the experience of life on earth because through His incarnation as Jesus Christ He experienced it all Himself.

 

God knows all, You have the wrong reason, do not think of man as most important,

 

Is Jesus not God Incarnate?

 

yes, but you have the wrong reason why He was, You elevate the human condition's importance over the spirirual

 

It must be somewhat important if we all have to come here in the first place, including God Himself also coming here. Yes, I understand the sacrifice that was needed in order for us to attain the spiritual.
