OK, LET'S GO THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD TO SEE WHAT IT SAY ABOUT MARY.....
LET'S GO BACK IN THE BIBLE FIRST......
Moses....... Spoke face-to-face with God, God called Him a friend........... He also got to see God from the rear...... He got to see the Finger of God......... God appeared to Moses in a burning Bush. hmm.... God did all this with Moses........ yet, Moses is not considered a saint???
Sarah and Abraham........ She being 90 and he 100........ a miracle birth, who the Seed ( Jesus Christ came through)
But, how is it they are not seen as also saints????
There are some many times God done great things though a man or woman, yet how is it they are looked over by Catholics???
NOW MARY............
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.
Remember what Jesus said about Abraham being the Father of Jesus Christ........
King James Version (KJV)
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (
(((( HOW CAN JESUS BE BEFORE ABRAHAM........ YET, COULD BE THE SON OF ANY HUMAN..... He said the same about David:
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
HOW THEN MARY CALLING HIM LORD, CAN BE HIS MOTHER, HOW CAN ANYONE EVEN WITH THE SMALLEST UNDERSTANDING.... Say that God has a mother............ when the bible tells us that God, and the Son of God had no beginning neither will have no end.............. Jesus Christ did not start with Mary, He started from where God started Him.............
The Bible tells us....... In Collossians 1:15-17...Jesus Christ: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:.17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.. .....
Mary was nothing but a vessel to bring fourth, The Lord Who already existed....... How can she make Him afther He made her????
Ok one more thing........ SHE DID NOT DIE A VIRGIN.... SHE GAVE JOSEPH CHILDREN........
MATTHEW 1:24-25....Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
MARK 6:3-4.........3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WERE NAMED AS DISCIPLES, THEy ARE CALLED HIS SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN HIS HOME TOWN.... THE PEOPLE ADDRESSED THEM AS SUCH BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE HIM NO DIFFERENT THEN THEY ARE, FOR KNOWING HIM AS HE GREW UP......... NAMING THOSE OF HIS HOUSEHOLD..... father, mother, brothers and sisters...... they did not call them his disciples,,,, WHY? because they did not believe he was someone special enough to have power, or followers............ like who he think he is...... we known him all his life......... we know his whole household....... he can't be anyone important........ even though they saw the miracles he did...... they did not believe on him...... Jesus did not give more power or privilage to His earhtly mother, as he did to anyone who did the will of God.........
MATTHEW 12...........
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! ((((( He called his disciples, HIS MOTHER ....... ))))
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Trust the Word Of God......... He alone can save Us......... Jesus Christ is the Word of God........ and He is the Only True Chrurch...... for the Church is His Body........ HE BEING THE HEAD AND WE, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, MAKE UP THE BODY......
