Mary’s final words in the Bible are some of the best advice you could ever get.

All I can say to such an insult to the Blessed Mother of God is this: you are ignorant indeed!

An attack on the Immaculate Conception and the perpetual virginity of Mary.

The Immaculate Conception doctrine is debatable among Christians, but Mary’s perpetual virginity has always been Christian tradition. To claim that the Bible teaches against it is simply false.

The larger question, I suppose, is why some who imagine themselves Christian feel the need to be so strongly schismatic.

A hit on Mary and the Catholic Church entangling them both with Satan is what I’d refer to as demonic. But fear not; maybe your guardian angel has very long arms.

Should be a short article.

A question that has always intrigued me was
why do some Christians require goddess worship ?

The need to create something that does not exist in the Word.

An excellent essay, Scripturally-faithful and God-glorifying.

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.

as soon as I saw rapture upheld in this blog, the trashbin in my mind was opened, and the ignorant fisherman was discarded.

Nowhere is it said in the Bible, that only beliefs as specifically stated in the bible are valid, and that never stopped some people from believing in that non-existent concept.

What is clearly in the bible, is one of Jesus last conversations with His Father. In the garden, Jesus prayed His last prayer to His father. He asked Him THREE TIMES, that his followers remain united as ONE.

James 17:22 And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.

Most original protestant groups (Lutherans etc.) believe in the Blessed Mary as being without sin.

Why do all these fly by night churches insist on demeaning the role of the "BLESSED" mother, the "favored ONE", as nothing special?

She plays a huge role in God's plan for salvation.

With all the real offenses done to God, why pick on Jesus' mother? The reality is that even if she was proved not to be a virgin, I would still call her Blessed like the bible says, and I have no doubt that God gave us these example of true Christian women, because clearly our world has deceived us as to what a real woman should be.

Mary was obedient, humble, loving, and faithfull. That is what God wants for His children. No ordinary woman could watch her son being tortured, insulted, and killed, and still humbly accept God's plan.


If I prefer the icon of the Blessed Mother, to Britney Spears, Madonna the Singer, or Lady Gaga, your just going to have to find it in your heart to be a little more understanding.

The traditions of man cannot be trusted. From Adam’s early perfect walk man’s traditions progressed to Sodom. For all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God. This includes Mary and all Popes. My Bible states that I need no mortal ‘go between’ for myself and my Creator, only to be a born again blood bought believer in Jesus Christ. I do not need a preachers or a priest’ absolution, I pray to my God only. Go and twist The Word and convince yourself the Bible does not mean what it says.

There are four things that are important about Miriam:

1. Miriam is a daughter who has no brothers
and is descended from King David.

2. Joseph is descended from King David.
But he is from a line prohibited to inherit.

3. The inheritance exception granted for
the daughters of Zelophehad
(These were daughters who had no brothers)
is in effect See:
Numbers 26,27,36; Joshua 17; 1 Chronicles 7

4. Joseph and Miriam are married (each descended from King David)
thus providing Miriam with permanent inheritance
of the Kingship of David for her to pass on to her firstborn son: Yah'shua.
