@@ynikshia5986 What are you even saying?

Sage Antone. Then you do not know humility. Your saying your good enough to approach the creator knowing how much of finlthy sinner you are (us all). Remember that Christ obeyed Mary for 30 years. He only preaches for about 3 yers to the masses. He Gave God the father more glory by obeying the Mary. If you do not know Mary, you unfortunately do not know her son either. Remember the Roman centurion said “ I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof “. John the Baptist said, I am not worthy to untie his sandals. But I guess you believe that your are worthy without stain. Get to know what humility is.

Yes he’s explaining it in caricatures. These are typical ignorant objections. Mary, (and the saints), pray for us, like how you might pray for a friend. She’s not mediating for us. There is only one mediator and that is Jesus. But we have many intercessors. Mary has a place in our lives because Jesus gave her to us as our mother at the foot of the cross. She is the queen mother, not because Jesus can’t be approached but because again, she is in the best place for intercession. She is NOT equal with Jesus in any way.

@@JoshAlicea1229 Then why does the Church refer to Mary as the "mediatrix"?

@@nephoone3325 how about, Mary queen of heaven. Rev 12 "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

@@nephoone3325 how about the Davidic Kingdom's queen mother, Bathsheba, reigning beside her son, and bringing him requests from the people as the OT model of Jesus and Mary, the fulfillment of the OT: "1 Kings 2 "19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne and had a seat brought for the king's mother, and she sat on his right. 20 Then she said, “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Make your request, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”

@@nephoone3325 one more for you, Mary our Mother, From Rev 12: "17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus."

@@garyh2481 Hi @Gary H. I must admit I am not that familiar with Catholic doctrine and theology. But just looking at the verses you quoted: Rev 12:1 - the woman clothed with the sun, Rev 12:5 the woman bore a male child who would rule the nations, Rev 12:17 the dragon became furious with her and then made war on her offspring - yes Gary, 1 possible interpretation of this is that this woman is Mary who is Jesus' mother. But there are several problems with this interpretation. 1. Rev 12:6 "and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days." Traditionally, Mary did not flee into any wilderness. Scripture in Acts last mentions Mary as having joined the disciples in prayer in the upper room when the Holy Spirit came upon them in power. She likely stayed with the other believers in Jerusalem after Jesus' death and resurrection. Basically serving, living, was persecuted, and died as part of the early Jerusalem church. Another Catholic,tradition suggests Mary may have stayed in the city of Ephesus until her death with John. the disciple whom Jesus entrusted his mother to. 2. Rev 12:13 "And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child." Question: When was the dragon cast down to earth? Was it during the lifetime of Jesus on earth? Because other parts of Scripture Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:12-17, and many others, suggest that Satan the great dragon was cast out of heaven to earth long before Christ's birth on earth. So Mary had not yet even been born when the dragon was cast onto the earth. How then can she be the dragon's target? 3. Lastly, the interpretation that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, having special access or privileges with Jesus, and hence we may go to her for intercession with God on our behalf, this interpretation is at best supported by indirect Scriptural evidence. What I mean by indirect evidence is that this is not explicit and is actually open to different interpretation. Your quotation from 1 Kings 2 about Bathsheba is an example of this kind of indirect evidence. But the idea that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man, that there is only 1 way to God and eternal life and that is through Jesus, this idea is supported by direct evidence throughout Scripture. In fact this is indeed the consistent message throughout Scripture. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time." Acts 4:11-12 "This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

I pray for those who are fallen, for those who do not honor Your Blessed Mother. May Your mercy and love prevail in their hearts. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus, be everywhere loved forever! Amen!

We classical “Protestants” do call her blessed but that’s about it. The Papists trying to bring that “Queen Mother” Bethsheba and “ New Ark of Covenant” to Mary has transformed her into almost a Goddess and has developed into idolatry. Old grandmas in tiny towns in Latin America treat her like a Goddess and I believe that ignorance was also practiced by Irish and Italian grandmas a century ago when Ireland and Italy were underdeveloped nations.

If you can pray straight to Jesus, now why put up fundamentalist protesting churches (cults or sects) to begin with? Intercessory prayers are part of the Sacred Tradition of the church since time and memorial, the only idolatry is your prosperity gospel, televangelism, rock and roll gospel and naming your defacto bible cover from a degenerate heretic - King james now queen james gaay bible

but why do you feel the need to pray to her instead of praying to Jesus? why do you need another mediator, when there is only one mediator between man and God, Jesus Christ, (1 Timothy 2:5) which is literally the reason he descended on earth and died for you, so that he could reconcile you with God, so that you could be saved? I used to be a pretty fervent catholic, I prayed the rosary a lot, went to mass often, considered protestants heretics, and yet when I thought about these things, I still could not justify such a practice, not in light of the Gospel and the New Testament, not in light of the whole Old Testament, not in light of any basic monotheistic theology... There's just no reason and no justification for such a thing. And might I add, there is no spiritual benefit to such a practice, either, only detriment. You're free to propose to me a reason why I'm wrong.

@A P how about just the Bible? See that’s your guys problem. You don’t believe the Bible is our authority you believe man (the pope) is just as high in authority. The Bible is the written word of God. The pope is a sinning man with a deceived heart (Jeremiah 17:9) just like you and me. “There’s none good no not one” (Romans 3:12) Christ is the only way and with Christ you will have the Holy Spirit which leads you into good works not before but after you accept Christ.

@@saved6655 What did Christians practice and believe for the roughly 1500 years before your average believer had the full Bible in his or her vernacular...none of whom had access to it in their homes for personal study until the last couple hundred years? They believed and practiced what the Catholic church still believes and practices today.

@@RJ-ku2mh wrong, your history is flawed, let’s look at just marrian doctrines. Marrian dogmas If someone were to pick up the Bible and say, dose it teach that Jesus’s mother was the sinless queen of heaven. Who was bodily assumed into heaven, conceived without original sin and never had other children. Would they walk away with that thought or would they look at you like you have lost it. This demonstrates the central issue, it is sola scriptura. No one would simply embrace Roman Catholic dogmas on mary. For the simple reason no meaningful form of exegesis would lead you too those conclusions. Look what Jesus taught for example. This comes from the sagecies asking Jesus whose wife should this woman be ext.. and Jesus says Mathew 22:31 But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: He constantly takes them back to scripture. This was wrote 1400 years before this happened and he’s saying well look at scripture. This happens over and over with Christ. Why? Because it is scripture that is final authority not tradition. Tradition is what he was condemning the sagecies and the pharacies over. Because they weren’t going off of scripture alone. They let tradition that they added in over hundreds of years become more important than scripture, the same exact thing the Roman Catholic Church has done. 2 Peter 1: 19,20 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to PAY ATTENTION as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of ONES OWN interpretation, 1 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God (man of God, anyone in Christ) may be adequate, equipped for every good work. And sense scripture is God breathed for teaching, reproof, correction ext.. what dose that mean? That which is not God breathed cannot be as profitable as that which is God breathed, for teaching, reproof, correction ext….. nothing els the church possess is God breathed, only the scripture. The CHURCH is not GOD BReATHED and sense the church has the resource (God breathed scripture) the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. There cannot be a good work defined for the man of God that the God breathed scriptures dose not equip him to perform. And certainly teaching that Mary is bodily assumed into heaven, or Immaculately conceived, or that Mary is a perpetual virgin, these are things your Roman Catholic teaching will tell you are good deeds, but scripture dose not even begin to hint such beliefs. If a belief is based in something that is not God breathed it is not binding upon Christians and is therefore not authentic Christian teaching. Not a single bishop that met at the council of Nicaea in 325 ad believed what modern Roman Catholicism defines as dogmatically true about Mary today. Roman Catholics say you must believe this. If modern Roman Catholic teachings are true, then God allowed many centuries to pass without any one believing the full truth about them? How important can the bodily assumption of Mary be if God allowed 1,900 years to pass before making sure people understood it was a divinely revealed truth? How is it that you could literally have the first five century’s of Christian era pass before anyone even mentioned it and then when they did mention it they mentioned it only as the teaching of heretics? Not as something that was thought by Christians. That requires a extremely low view of the importance of the early church. And then say these dogmas are de fide dogmas (that means must believe or you are considered heretical). The crazy thing is that no one in the first 1500 years of church history believed as dogma what modern Roman Catholicism has defined to be true. That’s the entirety of what Rome claimed as de fide dogma which include the last three doctrines that have been defined by Rome, immaculate conception, papal infallibility, and the bodily assumption of Mary. Yet despite this reality Rome says her teachings are true and ancient and she condemns with the anathema those who would reject her claims. That means this is not a matter of possibility. Rome literally makes eternity rest upon these teachings. Bishop fulgentius of ruspe. (467-532) giving his time frame you will notice he is post Augustinian this quote came from pl 65:458 (patralogia latinea) this is a huge massive collection of the writings of the church fathers in Latin. Bishop fulgentius says “this is the grace whereby it came to pass that God, who came to take away sins, because sin was not in him, was conceived and born a man in the similitude of sinful flesh. The flesh of Mary, forsooth, which had been conceived in iniquities after the manner of men, was indeed sinful flesh, which bore the son of God in similitude of sinful flesh. We must believe that the only begotten God did not derive the defilement of sin from the mortal flesh of the virgin. Truly, therefore, Mary conceived God the word, which she bore in sinful flesh, which God received.” This was a bishop that was well aquatinted with Augustine’s writings. He had no concept of immaculate conception, never breathed a word about the bodily assumption, no evidence of any beliefs in such concepts as “queen of heaven”, or Mary as co-redemptrix, mediatrix of all graces ext….. so question was bishop fulgentis and many more ignorant of the “apostolic traditions” or was the real fact that there was no such “traditions”? “BISHOP FULGENTIS OF RUSPE” look it up and dig on more bishops writings in and around those eras. The modern complex of Marrian dogmas and doctrines shows that Rome’s claims to function off scripture and “tradition” is utterly fallacious. The two most modern Roman teachings, the doctrines of Mary as queen of heaven, mediatrix of all graces, co redemptrix with Christ (doctrine taught by popes for 100+ years), and the dogma of bodily assumption, are simply unknown in scripture or tradition. Then going backwards we find the next dogma immaculate conception, finding its first formulation in a British monk named Edemer at the beginning of the 12th century. But it was apposed in its modern dogmatic form as a innovation by Bernard of clairvaux, Peter Lombard, Alexander of hales, Bonaventure, Albert the great, and Thomas Aquinas. Roman Catholic writers list numerous patristic writers who had no problems seeing the biblical narrative indicating acts of sin on Mary’s part, including Irenaeus, tertullian, orgien, John chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria, and basil. Emmon carrol has written regarding the period of Augustine, “many more century’s of thought and prayer were required before the church would realize that the immaculate conception was among the gifts of God, provided for his mother.” (“Mary in the documents of magisterium” in mariology vol 1, ed. by juniper b Carroll.) So this is my point no one knew it then, none of the apostles knew it, Mary did not know it, but you have to believe it as dogma now? The perpetual virginity of Mary, the oldest of Marian doctrines. The natural reading of scripture speaks of Jesus’s brothers and sisters, and the family of Joseph Mary and Jesus living in Nazareth. Reading the Bible there is not a hint of the birth of Christ being painless or unnatural (the word “tiktw” in Greek means to give birth) . The prophesy of the birth of the “Son given to us” (Isaiah 9:6) likewise uses natural language of birth. For Jesus to be our sin bearer his humanity had to be real. He has to be the God man, he had to truly enter into flesh (John 1:14). This idea of unnatural birth came from gnostic sources as the ascension of Isaiah, the gospel of James, and the odes of Solomon, dating around the 2 to 3rd century after the scripture was closed. There is a writing from clement of Alexandria which he openly admits taking the idea from the gospel of James, and this is why we stick to sola scriptura. This is where this heretical perpetual virginity comes from. So we have to conclude that the marrian doctrines of Rome are not authentic Christian teaching. No meaningful form of exegesis leads us to believe these doctrines are true. History shows these doctrines developed either from non orthodox sources or developed 100s or thousands of years, after the time of the apostles and closing of scriptures. They have no binding on Christians and must be rejected. This idolatry leads to these popes and bishops being given titles that absolutely blaspheme the holy Trinity. For example the pope is called holy father which is only used of Jesus calling his Father this while praying to him. The Roman Catholic priests are called alter christus which means another Christ. And also the pope is called a vicor of Christ which this means to take the place of Christ, and who was sent to do that? The Holy Spirit. Theses are all titles of the Trinity that Rome bares there self. And there is a odd resemblance of the unholy trinity in revelation. The dragon and the two beast and they mock the Holy Trinity. Idolatry is a disgusting act, and when we follow our man made laws or the supposed church we run into these problems. This is why scripture alone is our final authority.

if that is what he thought how Catholics thinks about the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Jesus, it has me cringing as a Catholic.

And somehow it makes Mary more special? Just because God called her based on the fact that she's one of many King David's descendant? If God wanted it, He could have chosen other woman who still had King David's bloodline, as there would be thousands of them in all of Judea alone.

@ Where at in the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke does this say Joseph had right to kingship? Just curious.

@@Excellent135 Being that God Almighty selected Mary, that makes her very special, indeed. Only a woman could bear the Son of God Almighty; and, that woman had to be a direct descendant of King David's bloodline. As for the timing, are we to question God the Father why He does anything at anytime?

And Jesus corrected her for asking him to do miracles before His time.

@@Zigzagzebulon He did what she asked, proving her intercessory role.

@@marycrawford3460 She has no spiritual intercessory role. She's not alive in heaven asking Jesus to do things. Believers who are alive can ask Jesus for blessings and help directly from earth to heaven.

@@Zigzagzebulon I think it is really sad that with all the evil in the world that is so anti christian THIS is what concerns you. We all will answer to the Lord and I think that HE wants us to fight other Christians less and LOVE them more. God Bless!

​@@Zigzagzebulon that doesn't changed the fact she had influence of her son plus he only did it out of love for his mother

St Paul's teaches urges us that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for ALL PEOPLE 1 timothy 2 (1-4). Is Mother Mary a righteous person? Absolutely! All God's people are made righteous (Hebrews 12 23). Pray for one another that you may be healed. The prayer of a RIGHTEOUS person is POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE(James 5 16). You already mentioned that they are alive. So just connect the dots bro

You're an idiot, imagine saying that to our lord in his face, speaking that way about his mother, as sinful as I am I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you judgement day.

So why do you pray to a saint and not your friend then? There’s no distinction to be made

@@duckymomo7935 Because the saints are my friends, the same way- as a follower of Jesus Christ, you are my friend and hope you pray for me. The more friends I have pray for me, the better- don’t you think? God hears my prayers, your prayers, and theirs. How? Through the Holy Spirit that enables us to pray. This is how the Trinity works. It is truly all God, but also with His redeemed- through Himself.

@@JoshAlicea1229 then pray to your friend to pray for you

@@duckymomo7935 I do. To “pray” means to “ask.” I ask my friends to ask Jesus all the time.

@@duckymomo7935 You ask the saints to pray for you.

Hi brother, good to see you here!

Wilson Waigwa Hey man! It is so good to hear from you! I can’t believe it is on KZfaq of all places!!

The Scriptures teach that Mary was in need of a Savior, just like the rest of fallen mankind. Notice Mary's Song in Praise of God: "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior..." (Lk. 1:46-47, ESV). If Mary was impeccable ('sinless') then she wouldn't need a "Savior," would she? Scripture teaches that Christ ALONE was impeccable (sinless): 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:25; 1 Jn. 3:5. Hope that helps. *Soli Deo Gloria*

John of Damascus writing in the 600s speaks of Marian devotion and her ever virginity. Long before the western middle ages

Lie... you probably never read early fathers

So basically they din't understand the truth untill the revolt happened ? Exactly and the revolt was the Protestant Reformation which brought to light many Biblical truths. They were blind and now they see.

@@francisfurtado6297 There is no truth on a divided 40K+ protesting cults and sects spawned by the false sola scriptura doctrine

Nope, that’s not true. The Bible says very clearly that we can approach Christ. Orthodoxy teaches this😂

God cannot be illogical, that is what he did.

David Hall The Blessed Mother was saved from the stain of original sin from the moment of her conception. This is a unique gift from her Divine Son. We know this is true by the word of the Angel Gabriel, "full of Grace" (Luke 1: 26-35). Mary was saved by Jesus Christ in anticipation of His death and resurrection. God is not constrained by time and acts according to His Will. She is the perfect person whom we are to emulate in working out our own salvation. Confess your unbelief to the Priest. Receive Jesus Christ worthily in Holy Eucharist. Come back home.

@@marccrotty8447 So what you are saying is Mary never needed God to save her from sin, right?

@@davidhall2197 Read carefully what I wrote. The Catholic Church teaches that even the Mother of God required salvation. Christ saved His mother prior to His going to the Cross. Mary's response to Grace was perfect. Learn our faith. Start with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You will find that Sola Scriptura is not Biblical but rather a man-made tradition.

The Holy Spirit cannot conceive Jesus in a sinner's womb that is why Mary is Immaculately Conceived (saved in advance), this is why she was saluted Hail full of grace and have found grace with God even before the Savior Jesus was born in the bubble of space and time (earth). Sola scriptura is false and a heresy nowhere taught in the early church. Sola scirptura is a disastrous doctrine that spawned 40K+ protesting cults and sects.

@Read Father Seraphim Rose I don't need to read anything other than scripture.

We only need Christ as our advocate. There is one mediator between God and man

It is.

You are so anathema by all Catholic standards. haha

This is a funny one.

maybe the Catholics took things too far, but Protestants clearly overreacted and went way too far the other way.

Plus Sola Scriptura is not even canon plus her Veneration goes back to the 2nd century

But did it state how Mary died? Yet calling Accession of Mary is a lie?
