We have been repeatedly warned in the Scripture about not accepting substitutes.

Just because a person is a saint doesn't mean the Church accepts their writings 100%.

***However great a sinner may have been, if he shows himself devout to Mary he will never perish.***

This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. With all due respect, who the heck cares what Hilary of Poitiers thinks when we have the words of the Apostles on the matter.

Are you trusting in the name of Mary to save you? If so it will not.

John wrote us...

"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."

We are to put or trust in the name of the Son of God - not Mary.


And Peter...

"This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

How could it be more clear????






"...no other name..."
