It doesn't depend which Church. The Roman Catholic Church teaches so. We honour and revere Mary, because she was the mother of Jesus. And rightly so, that is an incredibly honoured and dignified role. But
we don't worship her as a god. We ask her to pray for us to God in the same way as I might ask you to pray for me.
That is a lie. Just because you say it doesn't make it so. The word tells us to look at actions and not listen to idle words. The catholic church's actions are completely different from it's talk. You absolutely idolize Mary. You put her on a pedestal above all other women, something Christ was very careful to avoid. See Matthew 12:48-50. Any number of women would have gladly volunteered to bear the Son of God had they been asked. God chose Mary, and the only thing that elevates her, as it does all of us, is being saved and serving God.
"For
whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
The catholic church claims Mary intercedes to God for us and scripture clearly states that is not true: "
For
there is one God, and
one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" ............"One mediator"...you can count, can't you? You do know how many one is, don't you?
This verse describes the catholic church: "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me."
I have heard it said on this forum, and others, that there are some catholics who don't believe as the church does, that they are saved and don't believe all the catholic doctrine. That too, is a lie. If you want to go to heaven, you must leave any church that teaches lies.
"Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue"
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
A voice
from heaven has told you to leave the catholic church. If you stay you
will be participants of her sins. No two ways about it.
It is a false religion and I will sit here all day and prove with scripture the evil it does if you wish.
