The Bible says no person can say Jesus is Lord,but by the Holy Ghost.
No man comes to the Son unless the Father draws them.
Whoever confesses Jesus is the Christ is born of God.
Whoever believes Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God.
Do not the Catholics believe these things.
But God said do not make an image of anything in heaven,including air like birds,or on earth,or in the sea,and bow down to it.
God said do not make an image of Him,and bow down,for you do not know what He looks like
Jesus was speaking to a crowd of people,and the disciples said,Jesus your mother and brethren are outside the crowd,desiring to speak to you,and Jesus said,who is My mother,and brethren,and pointed to His disciples and said,behold My mother,and brethren,for whoever does the will of My Father the same is my mother,brethren,and sisters.
Jesus was speaking to a crowd,and a woman spoke up and said basically,blessed is the mother who gave birth to you,and Jesus said,yea rather,blessed is he that hears the word of God and does it.
Jesus put Mary in the same boat as all the saints,and on an equal level,for we all have our labor,and God does not favor anyone for their labor above anyone else,as long as you do the labor God gives you.
They call Mary the Queen of heaven,and the Mother of God.
But Mary only gave birth to the man Christ Jesus,and it was God that caused the conception,so glory to God.
Also God is an ominpresent Spirit and cannot be born,and there is no part of God that can be born,for Jesus is God manifest in the flesh,and the Spirit in Christ is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God,for God cannot be separated.
The only way Mary can be the Mother of God is if she gave birth to the omnipresent Spirit of God,who never existed before that time,which we know is absurd.
The truth is Jesus is a visible manifestation of God,and the Spirit does not have to move.Jesus as a human does not have His own Spirit that moves along with Him,for the Spirit does not have to move,for the Spirit is already there,but the man Christ Jesus walks through the Spirit,and where ever He is the Spirit is there.Same as the saints,they do not have their own part of the Spirit that moves with them,but they walk through the Spirit,and where ever they are the Spirit is there.
When Jesus was in the womb of Mary,He had the Spirit that occupied that space,and when He came out of the womb,He had the Spirit that occupied the space outside of the womb.The Spirit did not move out of the womb with Jesus,for the Spirit does not have to move,for the Spirit is already there.
Now I know this is kind of a strange way to go about showing Mary is not the Mother of God,for it is truth anyway,but only the child Christ Jesus came out of the womb,the Spirit did not,for the Spirit is ominpresent and cannot be broken up to come out of the womb with the child Christ Jesus.
Mary is only the mother of the flesh.
They look at Mary,and reverence her,in a way that offends God,and He said,My glory I do not give to another.Jesus put her on the same level as all the saints,so why do they call her the Queen of heaven.
This is a serious offense.
A man called Jesus,good Master,and Jesus said,why do you call Me good,there is only one good,and that is God.
Jesus said,call no man on earth your father,in a spiritual capacity,but only your heavenly Father.
But they call the Pope Holy Father,a double whammy.
Says he is the head of the Church,but Christ is the head of the Church.
Another serious offense.
The Bible says there is only one God,and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus.
People should not confess their sins to a priest to take to God,for Jesus is the mediator,not a priest,and not the Pope,and if a person takes their sins to a priest to take to God,it would seem as if their sins would not be forgiven,for they did not take them to God,but to a priest.
Jesus said all the saints are kings and priests unto God the Father,but the Catholic Church makes a priesthood that is special above the common saint.
Another serious offense.
And take in to consideration all the things they do in the Catholic Church that is not biblical,and serve no purpose for salvation,but a waste of time,and some serious wrong interpretations,and all the things they do that appear occultic.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity,and the Bible,that they did not get rid of their religious ways,and only go by the Bible,but they held unto their religious ways,and dragged them in to the Bible,and it became their foundation for the interpretation of scriptures.
Joseph Smith did it too,with a belief not part of the Bible,and it became his foundation for the interpretation of scriptures.Scientology,same thing.Christain Science.Jehovah's witnesses.New age movement,and the movement that will cause the unifed religious system to come about,and many others that had a belief not part of the Bible,and it became their foundation for the interpretation of scriptures.
But there are many Catholics that do not want anything to do with the occult,and it appears innocent to them,but they do not know what really goes on in the Vatican,like the same with inner circles of the occult,that have an outer circle.
The Pope,and the Vatican,will become more public with the unifying of the religions,that the new age movement will be a part of that,but many Catholics will not follow their folly when it starts to happen.
