Where did people get the idea to pray to Mary?

[mpaper345]

Why does the Roman Catholic Church pray to Mary is because she must identify with other religions,for if she did not identify with other religions,they would not do it.

Also Pope is head of the Church,the Holy Father,putting him on a pedestal,and other things they do,which other religions do,but why do they do that,like to have so many false interpretations,and do things such as other religions will do.

The Bible says that we need not any man teach us,but the Spirit will teach us,and the Spirit will guide us in to all truth,and show us things to come.

Why does the Roman Catholic Church interpret scripture the way they do.

To me it appears that when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity,that they did not get rid of all their religious ways,and beliefs,and strictly go by the Bible,but held unto them,and dragged them in to the Bible,and it kind of became their foundation for the interpretation of scripture,so they look at it from that position.

Which happened to other denominations,but the Roman Catholic Church has a lot of wrongful interpretations.

But there is some denominations,and movements,today,that drag serious errors in to the Bible,and interpret it that way.

My RCC in-laws have little altars set up with an image of Mary on it so they can remember to seek her assistance.

Yes, and I know someone that lights candles to Mary each day as she does her chores.

This "mother" worship came from that Babylonian pagan system. Her name was Semiramis, Ishtar, Isis, depending on which country you were from. At one point the Jews were even guilty of worshiping these pagan statues and baking bread for her.

When Constantine decided to merge Christianity with paganism (which became Roman Catholicism) he took an already popular pagan tradition of this mother worship and just renamed the statues Mary, since he wanted to appeal to christians who already acknowledged the biblical Mary, and this was his way of merging the two.

Looking at it from a spiritual aspect... satan's attempt to keep people in bondage to this system and have them worshipping another god (him) - notice the small g, since he is a creation, but he is described as being the god of this world....

2 Corinthians 4:1-6: "Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ"

Reminds me. Just last week I was upstairs doing emails and had a tv show on pause downstairs. It unpaused itself and switched over to the channel it was on previously that morning (as it happens - the catholic channel, since my husband is catholic and was watching it before work).

So being too lazy to turn the tv off I then endured 20 mins or so of "Hail Mary full of grace..." constantly. I just tuned her out, but poor nun must have been exhausted. I have watched them before, out of curiosity, and they really get into the hail Marys and even get emotional too. Very sad

Hail Jesus!

from what i remember the Babylonians had a three god system: Nimrod, Tammuz, Simerimas and the three were one or the three were worshiped as one. very common in the pagan polytheistic cultures.

Nimrod was the very first king/leader of this world. He was King of Babylon and he set up that babylonian system, in rebellion against God. So that's where false religion began, with Nimrod in Babylon.

The roman empire then embraced the paganism and I recall reading they would eat bread and really believed they were munching on their pagan gods, that as a result they would be successful in battle, etc. That whole idea of the bread wafer representing the sun god... the same wafer which the catholic church gives out each week.

If you look at the paganism as it spread into egypt you can see stone carvings where they would worship this same round disc/wafer, which they believed was the sun god. Clearly catholicism is the whore of Babylon spoken of in the scriptures. Anyone following this religion is not even catholic, they're actually babylonian...


Egypt - carving of monstrance




Catholic - identical monstrance




Egypt carving - worship to sun god....




Catholic - worship to sun disc/wafer

We must remember the Catholics are not about following God. It's all about Wealth and Power.

kinda makes you wonder just how much pagan stuff they blended in and how do we know we got it all out.
