Is the praise that the Catholic Church gives to Mary hold up to scripture? Mary is worshipped as a goddess by the catholic community, however surprising little is said about Mary in the Bible. According to the Catholic Church, they have declared dogmas of Mary elevating her to goddess (don’t believe me, click on the links all from Catholic sources). Let’s examine

Mary Overview

I have looked at all the 6 Mary Dogmas

• First Catholic Dogma: Mary as Mother of God

• Second Catholic Dogma: Perpetual Virginity

• Third Catholic Dogma: Immaculate Conception

• Forth Catholic Dogma: Assumption of Mary

• Fifth Catholic Dogma: Mother of the Church

• Sixth Catholic Dogma: Mediatrix

So stepping back a bit, what is going on? Why such a fascination with Mary and where is all this going?

First they declare Mary "Mother of God", and then suggest her purity by saying she is virgin always (not that makes her pure or impure) and then say she is sinless, and then she is in heaven sitting on right hand of Christ, being our mother is active in our salvation. This is plainly pagan goddess worship where she now has the attributes of Jesus Christ. Consider the following

• Mary is has title of "full of grace" twisted from the term "highly favoured" (Luke 1:28) which is a term attributed to Jesus (John 1:14)

• Mary is claimed to be "sinless" by the dogma of Immaculate Conception
  

Mary even has the title of "Queen of Heaven" which the bible clearly shows to be pagan worship (Jeremiah 7:18).

Think about it. How can so much dogma come from Catholic Church where so little is mentioned in the bible? Also consider Jesus never calls Mary mother, instead calls her "Woman"? Goddess worship is pagan and widespread throughout the pagan religions, below lists just a few examples.

• Egyptian goddess Isis

• Greek-Roman goddesses Aphrodite, Urania and Venus

• Pre-Islamic worship of Allah and her daughters "Uzza, al-Manat and al-Lat"

• Canaanite goddess Astarte

• Assyro-Babylonian goddesses Ishtar

• Germanic goddesses Freyja

• Hindu goddess Durga

To see the extent of the deception, the Catholics changed scripture to prove their lies as truth!  According to the Catholic Encyclopedia


Compare with the original


You see thy changed all references to seed being male, representing Jesus prophesied to crush Satan, to the female to represent Mary! It does not get more deceptive and plainer then that. In this way what scripture applies to Jesus is then twisted and applied to Mary. We know Jesus is sinless and full of grace but we see that these are applied to Mary in the Catholic Church! In this way Jesus attributes come form Mary not from the heavenly Father.

And this is pagan goddess worship. The pagan goddess was derived from Simiramis, the wife of Nimrod. Nimrod started the first world wide false religion which is the beginning of Babylon. Nimrod was killed by Seth and his body torn to pieces as a warning to all. Simiramis claimed that her illegitimate son was Nimrod reborn. In this way the goddess is responsible for the resurrection of Nimrod whom made himself God over the people. When God scrabbled their language each person took their beliefs and continued it in their own nation. Hence the commonality of the pagan religions  become apparent as they all originated from the same source. As Nimrod died and was reborn , this started the Life-death-rebirth deity among the nations. When Christianity came around, instead of converting the pagans to Christians, the Christians became pagan!

So given this, what is next from the Catholic Church. The Heavenly Father is already absent from religious services and replaced with the pope as "Holy Father" (even though forbidden Matthew 23:8-10). Mary is worshipped and mentioned more then Christ, so Mary will increase and Christ will decrease. We see that in the next dogma of Mary as "Co-Redemptrix". This is not yet accepted but will be. The Pope will likely to include all the other Christians to be included bring them back to the Catholic Church. As she is the "Mother" of Harlots and at end-times there will be a one-world religion I expect that all the harlot churches that branched out of the Catholic Church to return back to their Mother. In this dogma Mary becomes the "cause of our salvation" which is the icing of the cake in kicking Jesus out and making Mary goddess with all power and the way of salvation. This is achieved that as Christ suffers on the cross, Mary too suffers watching and as her son dies, she is also as if she died in that way her heart is joined to Christ forever. In this dogma it is not the Father whom gave up her only son (John 3:16) it is Mary whom gave her only son


And from the words of Pope Benedict himself

As you can see the Heavenly Father is being kicked our and replaced with the Mother, as such all the attributes given to Christ by the Father is actually now from the Mother! That’s why this dogma is the icing on the cake. It now removes the Heavenly Fathers role from the Church and replaced with Mary. It is now Mary who offers her son for the world not the Father whom offered his son for the world. The bible warns us true worshipers will worship the Father


Be warned. Wakeup and see the deception by proving all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

According to the Catholic Church, they have declared dogmas of Mary elevating her to goddess (don’t believe me, click on the links all from Catholic sources). Let’s examine

Fifth Dogma: Mother of the Church


In this dogma the Catholic Church Mary plays a role in the "mystery of Christ" and "mystery of the Church" but what is this mystery. You might be surprised that the bible does speak of a mystery concerning Christ and the church but no where in that mystery is Mary or the Mother-Son relationship is mentioned instead it is concerned about Husband-Wife relationship. In fact out of all the mysteries spoken in the bible this one is call the "great mystery"


A great mystery it is! It is a mystery as the world including what people call Christianity doesn’t know it. When is the last time your church has talked about this?

Ephesians 5:22-32 is known as marriage chapter but Paul says it’s a "great mystery" about Christ and the church. Is God married to his church and what does that mean?

God often uses the principle of duality in his word and teaching. This simply means that it has a twofold meaning often a physical and spiritual meaning as seen in this example.

The relationships mentioned in Ephesians 5:22-32 are summarized below


The chapter continues to say that the Husband to love your Wife as you love yourself as Christ loved the Church and gave up his life for it. Note this is the greatest love one can give:


Just as it says in Genesis when God created Adam and Eve and declared them Husband and Wife they are one as God and the Church are one!


Being one simply means being on the same team, having one mind. In a disordered organization there is a saying "Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". When the Lord says "we are one" means we are all on the same team and in agreement. This is clearly portrayed in Paul’s teaching that we are of the same body just like the ear and the eye or the hand and the foot. As the parts of the human body do not argue with each other but simply work together in perfect unison to perform the same common goal!


This is the marriage covenant between God and Church which also existed between God and Israel. Before Babylon conquered the kingdom of Judah, God raised up a prophet Jeremiah whom prophesied to the people of the up-coming disaster in 40 years. Jeremiah told the people that God is married to them, they being his wife and when they strayed from the Lord they are like a wife cheating on her husband, like a prostitute!  


Bible tells us we a children of God but goes further and says we are heirs of God and to become like Christ hence of the same body! Not only heirs but JOINT-HEIRS!!!!



Hence why even Jesus called us gods (See The Divinity of Jesus)!


Jesus told his disciples that they are no longer servants but friends and everything he has is theirs and everything they have is his but funny enough disciples have nothing and Jesus has everything!


Currently as Christians we believe in Christ and his salvation from sin and eternal death. But we are not yet "one with Christ" we are only considered as children of God! When Christ appears we will become "like him" (1 John 3:2)! This is the great mystery that when Christ appears we are to become like Christ, Spiritual perfect beings, born into the family of God hence one with Christ of the same body! This is said plainly below:


Note the last trumpet mentioned above is the seventh trumpet in the Book of Revelation which ushers in the return of Christ. This trumpet fulfils the mystery of God and declares his servants the prophets!


Note flesh can never see the kingdom of God only the spirit can so we must be born again of the spirit. This is what it means to be born again, a spiritual birth with a new spiritual body where we become children again. Just like children entering this world so we shall be seeing the spiritual world for the first time learning again a new world even a new language.


Notice in Jeremiah 3:14 above we see God is selecting his people, the faithful among the unfaithful "I will take you one of a city, and two of a family".  God is hand picking people after his own heart to start a kingdom of God.


Even the ancient nation of Israel was chosen by God.


This purpose of hand-picking his people is to build a holy nation a "City on a hill". This simply means a city that is an example to the world hence it is on a hill so all can see it and be drawn to it. This is no different to today; if a city sees another city doing a great job in its design (e.g. no traffic problems, no crime, environmentally friendly etc) cities will strive to be like that city. So the same with Gods Kingdom, it will be a perfect city of perfect moral and ethical standing living in perfect unity. When other cities see this city they will strive to be like it.


In book of Revelation, John sees the Revelation of Jesus Coming in there he sees he is already a priest in the kingdom of God:


Before Christ returns the Church will be ready for him to return, ready for the marriage with Christ where they become one with Christ


This mystery has been kept secret from the beginning; even the angels desire to understand this mystery.


The great evil of this dogma is to conceal the real meaning and substitute this great truth with a lie (Romans 1:25). The marriage covenant between God and his true Church (the people of God) is that, as wife, remain faithful to Jesus by keeping all the commandments (Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 22:14) of God. The Harlot is the unfaithful wife those of the false Church (Revelation 17:5-6) whom teach the Babylonian religion in disguise of a false form of Christianity. The Catholic Church (The MOTHER of HARLOTS) and her daughter churches (those that broke away from the Catholic Church including Protestants, Church of England) do not keep Gods Commandments but teach lawlessness by saying the law is done away with. This is not inline with the bible, consider the following verses

• Jesus teaches to obey even the least of the commandments (Matthew 5:19)

• Jesus tells the religious teachers are breaking Gods Law by keep their traditions) Mark 7:7-8)

• Jesus equates love of him to keeping the commandments (John 14:15, John 15:10)

• Paul teaches that keeping the commandments is what matters the most (1 Corinthians 7:19)

• John says that anyone that says they love Jesus but do not keep the commandments are liars! (1 John 2:3-4)
  

Nowhere in the bible does it teach that the law is done away with instead God’s true church keep the commandments of God, every word from Old Testament to the New Testament. For more information see "The New Covenant: Does It Abolish God's Law?"

Is the praise that the Catholic Church gives to Mary hold up to scripture? Mary is worshipped as a goddess by the catholic community, however surprising little is said about Mary in the Bible. According to the Catholic Church, they have declared dogmas of Mary elevating her to goddess (don’t believe me, click on the links all from Catholic sources). Let’s examine

Third Dogma: Immaculate Conception
When I first read the title I expected this to be about Jesus miraculous birth but in fact and to no great surprise it is about Mary’s miraculous birth?


This simply states that Mary is sinless. This false dogma is built upon another false dogma of original sin


The concept of original sin is false in the first place. It states that sin of Adam is passed down hereditary to their descendants so we are all born in sin. This concept shows how little they know about sin. Sin is simply the breaking of God’s law (1 John 3:4) and a child does not know what is right or wrong as a child does not know the law. Paul stated if there is "no law" there is "no sin" (Romans 4:15) and Jesus showed our sin is according to our knowledge (John 15:22). When we know the law and we break it we become sinners but a child does not know the law so cannot be labeled a sinner.

The scriptures show Joseph and Mary went to the temple to offer sacrifices for sin. It states in the "days of her purification according to the law of Moses" came they went to "offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons" (Luke 2:22-24). This custom is described in Leviticus 5:6-9 as for a sin offering. This is a strange custom to perform for a sinless woman?

The bible clearly states all have sinned (Romans 3:23) except Jesus but even then he became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21) that we may be reconciled back to God through Jesus sacrifice (2 Corinthians 5:19, John 14:6)!

Notice when Jesus was called "good teacher" he responded as "none is good, save one, that is, God" (Luke 18:18-19). This shows simply that the attributes of Jesus are that of the Father and that the heavenly Father was the source of the goodness. The Catholic Church has labeled Mary "full of grace" when in fact it is Jesus who is "full of grace" (John 1:14). As for Mary it says "Hail, you that are highly favoured" (Luke 1:28) not "full of grace" as claimed by the Catholic Church.

There is a clear and obvious deception here that the Catholic Church is trying to label Mary with the characteristics of Jesus. The focus of Jesus should not be on the earthly realm but of the heavenly realm as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:47 "the second man [Jesus] is the Lord from heaven" so why is there such great focus on Mary? Goddess worship is wide spread throughout the pagan world which goes back to the first Babylon setup by Nimrod and Simiramis and is still alive in the Catholic Church. Do some research and see where the common origins of the pagan goddess Astarte (Cyprus), Diana (Ephesus and throughout Asia Minor), Cybele (Asia Minor), Isis (Egypt), Aphrodite, Ceres (Greece), Venus or Fortuna (Romans), Shingmoo (China), Disa (Scandanavia), Nutria (Etruscans), Virgo-Paritura (Druids), Isi or Indrani or Devaki (India).

So from the false doctrine of original sin, the Catholic Church needed to come up with another dogma to say Mary was not born in sin then carry that notion throughout her life to say she was sinless till her death. This is a great deception as this will lead to the attributes of Jesus been credited from his mother and not from his heavenly Father i.e. Jesus is sinless and full of grace because Mary is sinless and full of grace not because the heavenly Father is sinless and full of grace.
