The important thing, Narses, is that this thread was written long before Jack Chick was born. It was written in England by a historically renowned baptist preacher, Charles Spurgeon in the 1800’s.

DrE is right that Protestants have their own beliefs about Mary, and just because we state them, that doesn’t mean we’re trying to attack anyone.

It’s just what we believe.

Mary was the mother of Jesus as well as other children. She was a blessed woman who was faithful in nearly every way. Her later life was not recorded, so the safe assumption is that, as with all of us, she passed away at some point, perhaps under the care of the Apostle John.

My saying that is not designed to challenge you, but it is a simple summary of what I believe about Mary.

Wrong. The important thing is that this is a strawman argument falsely claiming that the Church “worships” Mary and then slamming the Church for doing so. The EXACT same kind of lie that Jack Chick and many other haters tell. It is false to fact. It is a lie. One in a long string of lies posted by Dr E.

***Mary was the mother of Jesus as well as other children. ***

Well posted except for this. It is a belief of the Church that she was not.
