Mary is The Ultimate Woman

When as an evangelical pastor I preached on Genesis 3:15, I completely ignored one of the passage's central gospel themes. I recently reconsulted the four study bibles and twelve Protestant commentaries I used to write this sermon. I found one small, passing reference to Mary. To many evangelicals, Mary is little more than an incubator for the Savior, a plastic figurine brought out in December and put back in the attic in January. But Catholics affirm the more biblical view of Mary as the New Eve and the one that fully accords with the Mariology of the Early Fathers.

To my Protestant brothers in Christ: knowing that Jesus perfectly fulfilled the command to honor his father and mother, and not just in letter but in spirit, just ask yourself honestly if you are truly giving the same honor to the mother of our Lord as he did. When you appear before our Lord - do you think he will be pleased with how you have spoken of His mother? That's really the gist of the Catholic view. In fact, to quote the Catechism, "What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ." (487)

The Catholic Church prays to Mary. Where does the Bible say that? NOWHERE!! Face the facts, the Catholic Church is feeding you garbage.

Jesus gave very scant "honor" to his human mother. Mary was NEVER front and center in Jesus' story. At the Cana wedding Jesus tells her to sit down and shut up. When she brings her other sons to try to carry him off home because Jesus is an embarrassment to her, Jesus disowns her flat. Mary is NOT Eve at all. If she WAS Eve that would be a horrible thing annd incestuous sine Jesus is the "second Adam" and that would be suggesting that Jesus married his own mother. EHHHH! Jael was horrifyingly evil. She gave Sisera, her husband's friend, hospitality and sanctuary and then murdered him cowardly in his sleep. This is a monsterous sin. Sisera was a danger to no one at this time and before that was just a soldier doing his kings orders. Abimelech and Sisera are NOT the seed of the serpent of Genesis 3:15. Read Gen 3:15 again deluded one. HE, Jesus, the seed of the woman, "bruises" the serpent's (Satan''s) head, not ANY woman. HAs becoming a Papist fried your brain?? You are seeing things that are NOT there. Liar.

I genuinely don't know why protestants have such a problem with Our Lord's Own Mother. It's not like it's humanly possible to love her more than God Himself. I've heard some horrific things said about her, John macarthur even goes as far as saying that Jesus Gave her away to John because He Was Done With her. There are literally no words that could ever justify that, it's also an insult to Jesus saying that He Would Ever Treat His Own Mother that way.

God also gives graces thru The Blessed Virgin Mary. Simply by the sound of Mary’s greeting Elizabeth and fetus St John were filled with the Holy Spirit. She carried God the new ark of the covenant in Revelation 12. In Revelation 11:19 she can be seen in heaven. The ark of the OT is definitely not the one seen in heaven. The old covenant is done and over with. In with the new covenant and Mary is part of the new covenant. St John was referring to Mary since he then brings her up in the following chapter. Just as the OT ark of the covenant stayed for 3 months in Obed-edom house. The Virgin Mary stayed with Elizabeth for 3 months. And just as no one could touch the ark of the covenant in the OT is the same way St Joseph did not touch the Virgin Mary in an inappropriate sexual manner lest he be struck down the same way God struck down Uzzah. Mary consecrated her virginity for the sins of Israel. St Joseph knew this and he knew he has the new ark of the covenant as his wife. Holy people we’re dealing with here.

You say Mary "carried God [in] the new ark of the covenant in Revelation 11." Really? Where in Revelation 11 does it say that? BTW, don't Catholics believe God is a trinity, consisting of the Father, Son, and holy spirit? So, where in Revelation 11 does it say Mary carried a triune deity? You also said: "Joseph knew he had the new ark of the covenant as his wife." Really? Where does your Bible say that? You also said: "Joseph did not touch the Virgin Mary in a sexual manner lest he be struck down the same way God struck down Uzzah." That's not exactly what the Bible says. For instance, Matt. 1:24, 25 says: "When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son." It's not that Joseph NEVER had sexual relations with Mary. He just couldn't have sex with her *"UNTIL* she bore him a son.

Excellent.

I might be returning to the Church, but I still have problems with the Marian prayers and devotions. I have no problem with the Hail Mary, but the Holy queen prayer (our sweetness, our hope) is troubling to me as well as other very hyper-dulia worded prayers. I have been asking for an answer but no Catholic apologetics site answers or they completely ignore the question and talk about something else that is not relevant to my question. The question: recently, the RU-vid channel Anglican Aesthetics made a video about how the words used for Blessed Mary are words that should only be said to God. What is the defense? How do these Marian prayers not cross the line of honor (dulia) to worship (latria)? Simply saying the words are hyperbolic is not a good justification if the words should only be said to God. I mean no disrespect to Our Lady, the Queen Mother, but idolatry in her name would be disrespectful so I do not want to cross that line. Thanks for your time

This is an excellent question and a legitimate concern that I can truly appreciate. I can offer just a few things that I hope might be helpful. 1) Much of the lofty language is poetic in nature, similar to the way a man and wife might write to each other, or a poet might describe with flowery language his love for a city or country. Consider how the Bible speaks in poetically lofty language regarding Zion "the perfection of beauty" (Ps. 50:2), which is "beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth" (Ps. 48:2), "a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands." (Ezek. 20:6). Similar examples could be multiplied; 2) Whatever praise is rendered to Mary likely falls short of how the Angel Gabriel addressed her: "Hail Full of Grace" - "Full of Grace" being a new name God gave her, much as he renamed Abraham, Jacob, and Simon. Simon, in fact, is a good example because the Lord changed his name to Rock (Kephas, Peter). "Rock" is how the Bible describes God Himself (Deut 32:4). So God is not threatened or lessened in anyway by a human taking a lofty name that also describes God. 3) "Latria" is reserved for God alone, and this is seen most essentially in the central act of worship, which is sacrifice. The Church has literally excommunicated anyone who offered sacrifices to Mary, as that is a blasphemy against God. 4) The Catechism (2097) refers to the "nothingness of the creature" in comparison to God. The Church, while have a lofty view of Mary as the greatest and most beautiful of God's creatures, could not be more explicit in drawing the unbridgeable metaphysical distinction between the Creator and the creature, including Mary. If I can, I'd like to recommend a couple books for you to look into. One is Bible Mary by Fr. John Waiss, another is Brant Pitre, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary, and a third would be Marian Consecration with Aquinas by Matt Fradd and Fr. Gregory Pine. I hope some of this is helpful. But I want to reiterate that I completely understand your concern here. But I'm confident that there are good answers to your good questions. God bless and thanks for watching the video!

One of the most hyper-duplicate guys (Louis de Montfort) references a book that gives an “academic” defense of Marian devotion. I found a translation and I have to laugh at what he considers more academic because it’s still very flowery and from the heart. Fr. Poire links Marian devotion to a manner in which we worship God - that God’s holiness and glory is beyond our comprehending that we can only perceive his perfections indirectly by observing what exists of the limited perfections in his servants who are mere reflections of His glory. Marian devotion is the greatest of indirect reflections of God’s glory - but to be selected to contain in herself the Son of God, the perfect or of the universe, she herself must be so beyond anything we are familiar with. Not because she is greater than God… but because she is an even greater reflection of God’s glory than any of the saints. The saints are dim mirrors… Mary is a multi-faceted diamond that reflects God’s pure light. So even she must be perceived indirectly because God is so beyond comprehension, he brings his handmaiden beyond our comprehension by choosing her.

If Mary had nothing to do with it then you are saying Jesus had no human body and therefore wasn't of the David's bloodline. Your statement is either Docetism, Nestorianism, or Monophysitism, not sure exactly which one of those your claiming, but you should know that all of them were dealt with by early Christians and rejected. Docetism The belief of Docetism holds that Jesus Christ did not have a real physical body, but only an apparent or illusory one. Nestorianism he belief that Jesus Christ was two persons, the divine Son of God and the human Jesus of Nazareth. Nestorius said that the Virgin Mary is not the Mother of God (Theotokos) because she gave birth to the human part of Jesus, not the divine Son of God, and called her Christotokos. Monophysitism The belief that Christ has only one nature, which is divine.

You correctly infer from the analogy to Mary's sinlessness. But it is a non-sequitor to claim that therefore she did not need a Savior, as she herself said. Think of it this way: a doctor could save you from an illness by administering a cure, or he could save you from ever getting the illness through inoculation. In both cases, he "saved" you. Or a father could pull his child from a ditch into which she has fallen, or he can prevent her from ever falling into the ditch. In both cases, he "saved" her. The Catholic claim regarding Mary - echoing the ancient believers and affirmed even by the early Reformers - is akin to the doctor who inoculates or the father who prevents the child from falling into the ditch.

So, naturally, the word "trinity" would not be in the Bible. However, neither is the concept of a three-person deity. The trinity belief was introduced into apostate Christianity at two Catholic Councils. As A Catholic Dictionary says: “The third Person was asserted at a Council of Alexandria in 362…and finally by the Council of Constantinople of 381.” Before then, no trinity.

And we are to hold fast to. Augustine's comment does not align with the teaching of the apostles or with the testimony of the scriptures. When John addressed his second letter to 'the chosen lady and her children', he was using personification to refer to the church, the church as a whole, not Mary. As Paul said, 'Watch out for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son. I know that after I am gone fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them.'
