I forget nothing. Too bad the other writers of the Bible failed to include her as a DISCIPLE.

Actually she was and is included in the Pentecostal prayer group with the women, and with his brethren. (Acts 1:14)

But what you mean is they forgot to mention the false Mary, that of Catholicism , who is almost deified, as it istaught by RCs that

she suffered all the consequences of sin and saved us through her merits,

and is "Mother of her Creator...through Whom the Holy Trinity is sanctified."

and that “The power thus put into her (Mary’s) hands is all but unlimited,"

having “immeasurable greatness,” and

"all in heaven and on earth, even God himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin,..."

"her prayers and requests are so powerful with him that he accepts them as commands...because it is always humble and conformed to his will,

the dispenser of all he possesses...”

having “authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven,”...

even that ”God gave her the power and the mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride....

all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her...

They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, "Hail, Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests...

The whole world is filled with her glory,.."

"there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose."

“sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus.."

"O immaculate Virgin, we are under thy protection, and therefore we have recourse, to thee alone, and we beseech thee to prevent thy beloved Son, who is irritated by our sins, from abandoning us to the power of the devil. - .

. Thou (Mary) art my only hope. .

. . Lady in heaven, we have but one advocate, and that is thyself, and thou alone art truly loving and solicitous for our salvation..."

"the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse." so

"we cannot honor her to excess" http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/MarySC.html#ascriptions

And you thought Mormonic doctrine depended much upon arguments from silence, and imperial supremacy!

True; but being WITH the group did NOT make her a 'disciple'.


Acts 1:12-15 (niv)

Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas


Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city.
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
