Jesse Charles Wycoff. Just lettn you know 1st; because of Jim Staley's video "After he rested"; I've now wrote my 2nd detailed Sabbath/ Sunday essay. I emailed his church not too long ago; waiting their opinion, lettn them know I'm here. And now my Catholic question;
I have a Catholic friend at work; we manage a few minutes to talk. I asked a question, that I think is fair. Do I have accountability issues; if I don't recognise/ acknowledge/ accept, Mary as the mother of God? "Mother of God" isn't in the KJB; therefore I then have to conclude such a term, as an extreme Catholic opinion. I therefore have no choice but to conclude that I face no possible accountability issues; If I refuse to accept Mary as the "mother of God". She's the mother of Jesus; Yes! But not the "mother of God". Am I correct; Or?
Please listen up.. Your answer is found in my post below and I highlighted it in bold:
Some Facts on Mary
Some Facts on Mary

Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.
H8198 shiphchah maid, maid-servant, slavegirl
Luke 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
G1399 doulē a female slave, bondmaid, handmaid
It is interesting how a woman who calls herself a slave is supposedly going to get favors done or be a mediator when she is listed last in the book of Acts and then nothing else is said about her in the Bible to have the kind of role she has in Catholicism but that is not the Mary of the Bible.
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.
It says "blessed art thou AMONG women" and not "ABOVE" women.
Mary was just one of many praying to God:
Acts1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Acts1:24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
Mary was in the upper room praying and they prayed to the Lord in verse 24. They were praying to the Lord. We don't pray to Mary.
1 Timothy 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
If there were two mediators then it would say "two" but it says "one" so we only pray to God because Mary is not a mediator.
1 Corinthians 7:34 There is difference [also] between a wife (gune) and a virgin (parthenos) . The unmarried woman (agamos) careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married (gameo) careth for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.
Mary had other children:
Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Matthew 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Psalm 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
Galatians 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:
Matthew 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Jesus called Mary "Woman".
Matthew 12:46 ¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Jesus said "Who is my mother?" The answer is in the next two verses.
Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
In other words, he looked towards his disciples and called us brother, sister and mother.
Luke 1:46 ¶ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
If you have sin then you need a "saviour" and Mary called “God” her saviour.
Was Peter Married?
Matthew 8:14 ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother (penthera) laid, and sick of a fever.
1 Corinthians 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Who is Cephas?
John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
