This study seeks to present from God's Holy Word what the Bible teaches about Mary of Nazareth, the young Jewish virgin that bore the Messiah, the Savior of the World. In this study we will seek to look at EVERY Bible verse found in the Holy Scriptures that pertains to Mary of Nazareth. Be sure to check out all the links for this study, for they will provide a deeper perspective into the person of Mary.
Introduction
In beginning this study, the clarifying statement should be made that the Bible, God’s infallible (reliable) and immaculate (perfect) Word, is the FINAL AUTHORITY when it comes to ALL matters pertaining to the truth of Christianity, which includes Mary (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16).
The Lord Jesus Christ gave countless warnings to BEWARE false teachers and false teachings. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man DECEIVE YOU (Gospel of Saint Matthew 24:4).
Saint Paul also warned us to BEWARE of false teachings and fables. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
NOPE.
WRONG AGAIN.
A lie from the deceiver.
A revisionist rubber history deception.
Thanks for the ping!
There is NO SARCASIM AT ALL.... Immaculate Conception and the perpetual virginity of Mary does not exist in the Bible. As you stated it is a tradition not Scriptural fact. Please try to find it. We listed evry verse pertaining to Mary found in the Holy Script. I know this must be a blow to all that you have been taught as it was to me. But I want to see her as Almighty God’s Word states and describes her. She still is lovely. Let her be who she truly is. That is God’s commandment.

INDEED! AMEN!
WELL SAID.
THX.
And, imho, regardless of the Christian denomination or congregation . . . the degree of idolatry seems to be related to the intensity of the rabid defense of said idolatry—maybe not a 1:1 correlation but certainly in that direction.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
INDEED.
INDEED.
WRONG.
The bureaucratic political powermongering elites of the club in Rome cleverly capitalized on some traditions some Christians were fond of 300 or so years after Christ.
However, startlingly, most of the Marian heresies were not very formalized until the modern era.
IIRC, —many even in the last century.
Incredible.
INDEED.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
The caricature of Mary foisted off on the world by the Vatican edifice all these years . . .
is some fabrication by political theological elite power mongers . . . cleverly adding a whole new industry and related revenues to their collection schemes.
Rationalizations are such wonderful
hollow defenses for all kinds of nonsense.
VERY WELL PUT.
THX.
Q: How do know that for certain someone is not a Christian?
A: When their response to Christians is to shout: WRONG!
Meaning He did not even have sex during her Pregnancy Too with the until and definely does not have to mean after either.
Something IS wrong -
Tradition vs. God’s Word.
Yeah, I’m on secret orders from the vatican to converse with you. Gee I have not gotten my check this week. HHHMMMM you got all figured out? No offense but when you know the history of the church you’ll understand how the bible was put together. It did not drop from the sky in the king’s english and some one was walking to pick it up. Then said eureeka!
The Scripture verses presented here consisted of ALL the scripture verses that mention Mary of Nazareth. The many traditions of Mary - her intercessory prayers, her immaculate birth and sinless life (or state of perfection), her perpetual virginity, her ascension into Heaven, her immaculate heart, etc. are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND in the Holy Scriptures. Relatively speaking, very little is mentioned about Mary in the New Testament. These false doctrines, teachings, fables and traditions passed down through the centuries have originated and been enlarged upon by the traditions of men and the Catholic Church. These fables were not given by Almighty God. In fact, these teachings contradict the Holy Scriptures and its divine authority. They are at the very heart of Satanic lies and deception.
To again clarify, this study was not done to belittle anyone's personal beliefs, but only to expose the heretical falsehoods pertaining to the church traditions and teachings of Mary of Nazareth. It is our deepest desire to encourage people to BELIEVE the Holy Scriptures and to REJECT any teachings and traditions of men which contradict the Holy Scriptures. May it be your sincere desire to acknowledge Mary as she is; a wonderful and faithful servant of Almighty God (Luke 1:28). As the Second Person of the Triune Godhead, may Jesus Christ ONLY be exalted and lifted up in our hearts and lives.
Amen.
