Because she’s dead not living.

james 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. so who else is more righteous than Mary. We believe the righteous is rewarded into eternal life. So Mary in heaven is alive not dead.

@@jayceechin Weird because. . . . I don't think we pray to our friends and family, either, no? So don't pray to dead people-- thats paganism

Mother Mary is a Queen in Heaven, she's save us♥ and Jesus our Father is in heaven all works hard to save us.We must pray everyday prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Me too! While I had a nightmare once, Mother Mary called me by my name, and that was full of love and authority... I woke up immediately weeping my heart out. I hated my name, but since she called me by my name, I have accepted my name.. 😇

What have you done that Jesus is not willing to hear your prayers? Can Jesus not see into your heart? Why are you praying to Mary when Jesus is our mediator? Can you get closer to God than praying directly to God? Do you trust in Mary more than God? Was Jesus dying at the cross not enough for you to change your heart and follow Him and trust in Him? You need to wrestle with these questions and ask Jesus to open your eyes. Mary is not going to save you in the judgement. Only Jesus can.

@@amartinez589 Same old arguement , Mary appeared in many places on earth , Mexico , Egypt in 1967-1971 a million people saw her on the roof of a Coptic Church ,and Fatima , she takes our prayers to Jesus .

The Holy Trinity is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere, yet we believe it to be 100% true. So what the man is saying is not a false statement. Also you can thank the Catholic Church for coming up with the doctrine of the holy trinity

​@@TheRockIsCooking The Bible mentions alot about the Tri-unity of God...its not Catholic Made, the Church just gave it the name "Trinity"

@@Vanet111 there no way a random stranger could pick up a Bible and automatically know about the trinity, lets be real.

​@@Vanet111what they mean "the trinity is not in the Bible" is the term trinity

​@@TheRockIsCookingThe name "trinity" might not be mentioned but the concept and doctrine of the trinity is very much there. The same can't be said about the queenship of Mary tho.

Yes, thank you Jim.

Read Jeremiah 44-17.

we should not read out of context. That passage was about the Israelites in Egypt. Just because Queen of heaven is used..here it is referencing the foreign Gods n goddesses they sacrificed to. for that matter... many other religions reference their God as King of Heaven but that doesn't mean the Christian God.. Father Almighty.

@@taato69 Mary is the true Queen of heaven

@JordanJackson41 the children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drinks offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18 Mary is the mother of christ, but the queen of heaven is evil, so be careful of your words.

Keep up the good work Jon!

Well said....

Yes, Lucy, that is her role :)

@@DivineMercy_Official No Lucy she cannot here you THE holy spirit will draw you to Christ , the catholic doctrine is deceiving you I left the church and found the true Christ, many MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE LEFT after Reading the bible. Its clear how messed up the church is; ITS RELIGION NOT A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST. THEY HAVE EXALTED MARY ABOVE CHRIST, THEY PRAY TO MARY in which GOD FORBIDS. When the crowd said Jesus your mother, and your brothers are here to see you Jesus said who is my mother and brothers not disciples that another subject, Jesus never ever lifted her up Jesus said, he who does the will of my father,also when Cornelius knelt before Peter; Peter said get up I'm only a man, and yet the Pope has people bow and kiss his ring which is shameful at best,The pope exalted himself above Peter. The Catholic Church is not what you think, I grew up in the Catholic church, and was radically saved from Catholicism I have a personal relationship with Christ not religion I talk to him directly as the bible says to,I pray you find him personally as millions have; think about it why wouldn't you talk to Jesus he's the mediator between God and man why would you talk to a woman shes only special that Christ chose her not because she was perfect the bible says only Jesus was perfect all have sinned all have fallen short, but Jesus. Most Catholic are clueless about the bible including the priest sad to say again they know religion, not in depth in the word of God in church they read a few scripture but don't teach what it means you need a personal relationship with Jesus and read the bible stay in the new testament until you get a grasp on it Sincerely

@@justsayin6795 Dear JS, it is clear that you don't know what Catholic teaching is based on your comments, which are all incorrect. As Fulton Sheen said, "Millions of people hate what they THINK is the Catholic Church, but very few, if any, hate what is ACTUALLY the Catholic Church." You might want to also read Lumen Gentium paragraph 14 if you have left the Catholic Church. It is an eye opener. God bless.

@@justsayin6795 Ancient manuscripts dating back to the 200s AD show early Christians praying to Mother Mary. Since Protestantism emerged in the 1500s AD, this means that Christians were praying to Mother Mary for at least 1,300 years before Protestantism and its teachings even came into existence. I feel like that in itself is definitely something to think about. Furthermore, “Sola Scriptura” (which is nowhere referenced in the Bible) was pushed by Martin Luther in the 1500s AD, which was 1,500 years after the Catholic Church had already been in existence-the Church which was established by Jesus Christ and promoted by the early apostles. Also, Martin Luther took out 7 books of the Bible and added the word "alone" to Romans 3:28 himself, which is something that scripture clearly forbids doing, yet he took it upon himself and did it anyway. Ultimately, many people have been led astray from the truth because of Luther's heretical teachings, unfortunately.

@@DivineMercy_Official I was saved from the Catholic church you have no idea the history of the of its ungodly practices, Or how the church got convoluted greatly compromised because of Constantine, He knew the power of religion so he united them by accepting heathen practices in the church it became a one world religion, many practices you now do came from other heathen religion . You confess your sin to a priest , when the bible says one mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus thats who you talk to not Mary who is was a sinner like us. I believe on the outside of building the pope is in Ingraved the religions still there today. Do your research. Its was the blood of Jesus not No where in the bible says to pray to Mary otherwise otherwise your reading false doctrine. The Catholic church is so much like the Pharisees In which Jesus condemned. You will never have a true relationship with Jesus until you stop Praying to Mary and the saints which came from the heathens that Convoluted the church. Know the real Jesus know peace, Not knowing no the real Jesus no peace .

The Catholic Church has a good reason for referring to Mary as EVER VIRGIN. This is because she gave conceived and gave birth to Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit and afterwards, had NO other biological children (I say "no other BIOLOGICAL children" because Mary is the Mother of ALL christians as well. But as you already know, that is not biological motherhood ). Those persons that the Bible refers to as "brothers" of Jesus are closely related to Jesus but they are NOT biological children of Mary -- she didn't literally give birth to them as she did to Jesus Christ. If you read the scriptures carefully, you will notice that even though the scriptures refer to them as "brothers" of Jesus in many places, they were NEVER directly referred to as CHILDREN of Mary and Mary was NEVER directly referred to as being THEIR MOTHER. Throughout scripture, Mary was always referred to as "Mother of Jesus" ( eg John 2:1; Acts 1:14). She was never referred to as "Mother of Jesus, James, Simon, Joseph and Judas" Matthew 13:55 says: " Isn't HIS Mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas ? " It DOES NOT say: " Aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas, and isn't THEIR Mother's name Mary ? " The Bible was always careful to refer to Mary as being the biological Mother of only one person -- Jesus. The fact that the Bible uses the word "brothers" to describe those individuals doesn't PROVE that Mary gave birth to all of them. In the original Greek translation of the new testament, the word used as ''brothers" in passages like Matt 13:55, Mark 6:3 and Acts 1:14 was the Greek word "Adelphoi". The interesting thing about this word is that its use in scripture is NOT restricted to brothers that are BIOLOGICALLY related or brothers who have the same biological mother. For instance, Peter addressed the crowds that gathered on Pentecost day as "brothers" ( "Adelphoi" -- Acts 2:29). Does that mean that it is the same woman that gave birth to everyone in that crowd of thousands of people? Certainly not. Again, in Matthew 23:8, we see Jesus saying: "you are all brothers (Adelphoi)". He was talking to His disciples and the crowds that followed Him (Matt 23:1). Does this mean that the same woman gave birth all of His disciples and everyone in the crowd ? Of course not. And so the fact that the Bible refers to James, Joseph, Simon and Judas as "Adelphoi" ( "brothers") of Jesus doesn't prove that Mary gave birth to all of them.. When Jesus was dying on the cross, He handed over His Mother to His Beloved disciple who took Mary to his home after the death of Jesus (John 19:27). Jesus did this because He was her ONLY child and He didn't want her to be all alone after His death. This was why He asked the disciple to look after her.

True, but no Catholics worship Mary. Jesus comes from the line of David an in the Davidic Kingdom the role of the Queen Mother was important (1Kings2:19). Read about how she had the function of "counselor" to the king in regards to all matters. God blesss.

Why did the Roman Catholic Church change the 10 Commandments that took out the making of Idols? You are right on!!!

Who worships Mary? Certainly not Catholics. That has never been Catholic teaching and never will be. There is no encyclical, papal bull, or any kind of magisterium statement in the history of the Church that says to worship Mary. So please be careful of the sin of slander in saying something very damaging that is not true. "To pray to" doesn't necessarily mean "to worship" but "to ask." Haven't you ever asked anyone to help you? We ask Mary to help her lead us to her son. To bow doesn’t necessarily mean worship either. Japanese businessmen bow when receiving your business card as a sign of honor. Are they worshipping you? Certainly not. God bless ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oh7gDmjX-XU.html

@@DivineMercy_Official My issue is not with Mary at all! It is with the title Queen of Heaven…it’s confusing! I can handle, Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Queen of the Saints, Queen of Peace…I understand what you are saying, thank You 🙏🏻

Since Jeremiah was written in 600 BC, it obviously isn't referring to Mary. The term "Queen of Heaven" was used to refer to various pagan deities. First, the mother of Jesus cannot be pagan and secondly, no Catholic teaching treats her as a diety. Jeremiah was referring to every pagan pantheon that had a ruling deity called "King of Heaven." Was that king of heaven Jesus? No. And neither is the Queen of heaven, the corresponding female pagan deity, Mary. He was referring to the Canaanite pagan goddess Astoreth, the wife of Baal, who they called Queen of Heaven. He was condemning worship happening in his own day, so how can that be Mary? She wasn't born yet. God bless.

Thank you for joining us and for being open to the grace of Mary's intercession :)

How can you know she’s beautiful when you’re looking at these pictures in statues you even know what Mary looks like

@@marcusaurelius9577 Her general features come from a painting that many theologians believe was painted by St. Luke.

Do you kiss the statues, God said have no idols.

Is she beautiful, right? The painting portrayed God as an old man, but that is alright because Mary is young and perfect. By the way, the spiritual entities do not look like humans and do not age. The way God, the one unseen by man, is portrayed in this picture is pure blasphemy. I think Satan is proud of his work.

And what did Jesus do after Mary's request? He then allowed his time to come. That's the power of her intercessary prayer. God bless

@@DivineMercy_Official what you said makes no sense

Praise God brother !!

Since when does God have a creator?

That is how much a cult can convince people.

Jeremiah 7 KJV 18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

@@alexanderbrown2717 That verse was about adoration of the false Goddess Queen of Heaven named Isis. But the Queenship of Mary is not a adoration, but an honor. If Jesus was the King of Heaven, then His mother was a Queen of Heaven. Jesus loves His mother very much and honor her

@@ialwayslikeblue1592 ♥️know♥️ 1 John 5 KJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 Corinthians 15 KJV 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 3 KJV 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Most of these people reject the bible, and follow man made traditions.

Read Luke 11:27-28.... Jesus said blessed are those who follow the WORD of God and obey it. THere's nothing in the whole NT to even elevate Mary to where the Catholics put her. There is only KING of kings and He has no queen. Do not be deceived.

Ah how true...Look through your Old Testament and you will even find reference to the "Queen of Heaven" YES look in the book of Jeremiah and read chapter 44. This will truly explain who the Queen of Heaven is. Please pray over this and think on this!!!

@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you! We do all need that blessing.

nope nope we dont worship Mary, its one thing to respect her and honour her being the mother of God and she's one of the most inspirational biblical women in the bible but we only worship God. Thats why other christians get confused because some Catholics cant differentiate respect vs worship especially when it comes to Mary.

Thanks for watching with us Everith and God bless!

'...making her the mother of the church.' Nope. That is your humanistic conjecture.

Watch the video. Also, the Bible says not everything is in the bible. Sola scriptura is not in the bible. And just because something is not in the bible, does not mean it is not true. God bless.

Yes, Jesus is the only way to the Father but there are many ways to Jesus. Andrew brought Peter to Jesus. Philip brought Nathanael to Jesus. That is a form of mediation. In proclaiming Christ the one mediator (cf. I Tim 2:5-6), the text of St. Paul's Letter to Timothy excludes any other parallel mediation, but not subordinate mediation. In fact, before emphasizing the one exclusive mediation of Christ, he urges "that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men" (2:1). If subordinate mediation is not allowed, please don’t ask anyone to pray for you because prayers are a form of mediation. Moreover, the Greek word used for "one" that St. Paul used here in I Tim 2:5-6 in the phrase "one mediator" is not monos, which would mean "sole," but eis, which can mean "one" in the sense of "principal," or "first in a series." Jesus is the principal Mediator who enables many other sub-mediators to transmit the grace of God to others. Again, faithful Christians act as sub-mediators in Christ when they pray for their neighbors, share the Gospel with the lost, and serve the poor. The Bible says that our growth in faith and holiness is aided by the intercessions of the other members of the Body of Christ (Eph 6:18; I Thess 3:11-13; I Tim 2:1-4), and there’s no better intercession than that of Jesus’ own mother. Jesus comes from the line of David an in the Davidic Kingdom the role of the Queen Mother was important (1Kings2:19). Read about how she had the function of "counselor" to the king in regards to all matters. God blesss.

That's the way it has been? Exactly. Go back before Martin Luther and see how all Christianity venerated, not worshipped, Mary. The Catholic Church is the Church of Christ because there was no other Christian Church for 1,5000 years.... only the Catholic Church existed. Do you think that Jesus would come to earth and start a Church, which he did i Matt 16:18, but then he would say, "I'm going to start a Church but I am going to get it wrong for 1500 years until Martin Luther comes and gets it right...." That doesn't seem to make sense. From the first century we have writings of Christians celebrating the Mass, the veneration of Mary and the saints, confession, prayers for the dead and belief in Purgatory. Those devotions were totally practiced by all early Christians. What does that sound like? Yes, only the Catholic Church. God bless and prayers for you.

Thank you for joining us! God bless you

That's referring to Old testament paganism.

The pagans had a false god to whom they ascribed the title Queen of Heaven. They also had false gods to whom they ascribed the titles Lord, Almighty God, King of Kings, Creator, and a host of others. Just because they ascribed these titles to their false gods, does not mean that there is no one to whom those titles apply truly. Jesus, for example, is King of Kings.

Yes, Kathleen, thank you for realizing that. God bless you!

Valid sacraments and wonderful clergy and very reverent Masses but not in communion with the papacy

@@DivineMercy_Official In all honesty, I have belief in God as I’ve heard testimonies within my circle that they experienced his presence and even felt him in subtle ways, but I have trouble with the Bible. I have trouble with the fact that it tends to deliver messages ambiguously, to the point that there are differing interpretations on the same verses. How can a “perfect” book supposedly by the word of God can have followers with different conclusions about its content based on the denomination? I asked about Orthodoxy because that seems to have the most sound stance on biblical views based on the little research I’ve had, but even it falls short on some flaws. How am I suppose to discern from what is the most “authentic” interpretation or am I missing something?

THE QUEENSHIP OF MARY - THE GEBIRAH & THE ARK OF THE NEW COVENANT GEBIRAH (Definition) - In the Hebrew Bible, Gebirah is a title ascribed to queen mothers of Israel and Judah Mary as The Queen Mother/ NT Gebirah is by Tradition and the Royal Davidic Line. God chose to have a mother in the bubble of space and time (earth). Mary is queen mother because Jesus is a Davidic king. (Luke 1:32) In the Davidic line of kings, the mother of the king was the Queen. (1 Kings 2:19, Jer 13:18) Since Jesus is our King in the Kingdom of Heaven, His mother Mary is the Queen. The role of the Queen Mother (the Gebirah in Hebrew) is one of intercession (1 Kings 2:17) Mary CARRIED THE LORD GOD JESUS IN HER WOMB - The Manna/Bread of heaven; The Tablets/Living Word; Aaron's Staff/High priest this is why Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant seen by John in heaven (REV 11:19) which is also The Queen Mother / NT Gebirah in REV 12 battling the dragon in the end times. Jesus is the Son of David, all mothers of the kings of i-s-ra-el were called "queen mothers". The queenship in heaven is also found in PSALM 45:9 SIRACH 24 that is why Mary is the queen crowned with 12 stars seen by John in Revelation 12.

Actually, not correct

Thank you Monica... well said :)

Thank you but Mary does not save us. Jesus does. But Mary is a gift that Jesus gave us on the cross to help us. Mary takes us to Jesus.

Thank you but neither you nor I have the authority to interpret scripture. That is why Christ gave us the church. And that is what I explained here was church teaching on this passage. No offense, but I'll go with the church teaching of Christ for 2,000 years rather than your opinion. God bless

We only worship God.

A Christian title with heaven in it is not pagan.

@@DivineMercy_Official You didn't answer the question.

They were added more recently by John Paul II

@@DivineMercy_Official yeah, but some have this thing against the "Luminous" word, and dont want to accept it.
