Can you give us a chapter and verse on that?

Tell me your religion and don't say "Christian".,,,,but I KNOW you won't....

GOD'S MOTHER would NEVER have been subjected to DECOMPOSITION of her BODY since she gave BIRTH to GOD'S SON!!….good grief.....you must be Baptist.

No chapter and verse? That’s what I thought.

Roman Catholicism speculates she was assumed into Heaven. Truth is no one really knows.

God doesn’t have a mother.

Or are you all worshiping some God besides the ETERNAL God of Scripture?

So you’re saying they assumed the assumption?

LOL!! No religion.....just as I thought!

If any of you Protestants took one second to learn of the Virgin Mary, you would LOVE HER!

Metmom is not only a Christian but she is a learned Bible believing one. You remember the Bible, don't you? The Word of God. From Him to us. Read it, you might learn something (but only if you want to).

Jesus is God Incarnate.

So Mary is the mother of Jesus, God Incarnate, not of God His deity.

The Holy Spirit is clear in Scripture in calling Mary *the mother of Jesus*.

John 2:1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

John 2:3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

The phrase *mother of God* is a man fabricated title.

The vast majority of Roman Catholics probably have no idea behind the reason of the use of “Mother of God”.

I pray for you. Jesus will NOT be happy with you in dissing his MOTHER!

She didn’t die a virgin...God valued marriage too much to put the load of a virgin pregnancy/birth on him then cuckold him on top of it....seems like Catholics are the only Christian sect that eschews most of the Bible and fills in the rest with fantasies from those in the Church who would do the Muslim thing and kill folks for heresy...way back when they were establishing themselves as a major power with carrying the Word as a sideline/front ....
