“The problem for people caught up in this is if that is the dominant culture they live in there is no one telling them how wrong it is.”
Exactly. We were taught that Mary was divine and ascended into heaven, and that she was the one who crushed the serpent’s head to save the world. Living in the culture, no one ever challenged that. But even back then I had a sense that worshipping Mary was wrong.
Praise the Lord!
John 12:46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.
I pray your family and friends learn from you.
