Mary was not sinless. If she was, she wouldn’t have needed a Christ.
Mary was not taken up, she died with John, and was buried.
This is more of the same pap that seeks to slowly make Mary a co-redemptrix.
It is sick, blasphemous, and utterly against all biblical understanding.
Paul mentions Mary not once. NO ONE mentions Mary outside of the first four gospels. If she is such an important person...
You would no more pray to Mary, than to any apostle, or your uncle Jim Bob.
This is why I broke with Catholicism many years ago. While there are many good Catholics, they are fed pap.
Be a disciple, have a personal relationship, thank God for all the Martyrs, and Mary for being such an upright vessel.
She is not God, she was Godly, she did not ascend, she died and will ascend with the rest of us.
EOS.
Are you actually responding to me?
First, my post has nothing to do with your response.
Second, I don’t remember asking your opinion.
Thanks.
“Mary was not sinless. If she was, she wouldn’t have needed a Christ.... It is sick, blasphemous, and utterly against all biblical understanding.”
Amen! I cannot understand what it is with Catholics and Mary, first they say she was an eternal virgin even though the Bible clearly references Christ’s siblings, then they say she’s sinless, then that she is the co-redeemer and make her equal to God! Couldn’t get any more blasphemous than that.

You can ask your Uncle Bob to pray for you, just like I might ask Mary to pray for me. When you say “Mary is not a god” I’m not sure who you’re arguing with. Catholics don’t teach the position you imply.
