Mary sealed to Heavenly Father by LDS proxy temple rites The Mormon Baptism of Mary, Mother of God

By Helen Radkey

Hail Holy Queen

Mary (the mother of Jesus) was a Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, identified in the New Testament as the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Mary conceived Jesus miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. For twenty centuries, Christians have cherished Mary and given her titles that reflect their love and admiration—such as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Theotokos (Mother of God), Our Lady, and Queen of Heaven. As the most celebrated woman in Christendom, Mary is considered the epitome of virtue by Christians, especially Catholics and Orthodox. Protestants generally perceive Mary as an outstanding example of a life dedicated to God. Over two thousand years after she gave birth to Jesus Christ—who is recognized by Christians and Mormons as the Redeemer of mankind—Mary of Nazareth was offered “eternal salvation” through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS.)

Mary, a Mormon by proxy

“Mary Mother of Jesus,” the spouse of “Joseph „of the House of David‟…” was baptized and confirmed a member of the LDS Church by proxy on December 9, 2009 in the Idaho Falls Idaho (LDS) Temple. She was subjected to initiatory temple ordinances on December 16, 2009; an endowment ceremony on December 26, 2009; and a sealing to parents on January 7, 2010—all rites occurred in the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple.

Very good.

The trouble is that when one’s understanding of the Triune God is so far from the mark as to be incognizable. It is as if one is trying to define a blue whale and winding up defining an amoeba.

One of the problems with individuals trying to define God is that they pay exorbitant attention to the image in the mirror.

Choosing to ‘disregard’ one of YHWH’s appointed days is nothing compared to replacing one of his days with a pagan celebration.

Disregarding merely puts one at a distance from YHWH, but offering up a false day deceives others, and leads them astray, and that is not something that has been put “at liberty.”

Setting you on your path to finding the Lord for starters. You have been introduced to the word of God, which has been previously hidden from you by the Nico Laitanes.

Nicea and the Nicene Creed?

Nicea was a rogue counsel of devious men who sought to hide the word of God from the people. Creeds are never of God; they are concoctions of men.

What does any of that nonsense have to do with “the Trinity?” (nothing, of course, just a diversion by a less than honest mind)

LOL! Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, and spent little time with the Jews. His ministry to the Corinthians, Ephesians, and Philippians was 100% celebration of the appointed days. There are no other activities involved.

"Setting you on your path to finding the Lord for starters. You have been introduced to the word of God, which has been previously hidden from you by the Nico Laitanes."

I am not concerned with how you treat me, I continue to pray for your conversion and Salvation regardless. You would do well to read James 1:26 and take it to heart.

As for my path, God gave me a sound ship and a star to navigate by and prepared a banquet for me on the far shore. I would also encourage you to familiarize yourself with what the Fruit of the Holy Spirit are; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

(Oh, and by the way, there is no such thing as a Nico Latiane)

And yes, I fully expect you to reject the word of God, as all catholics are conditioned to do.

And attempting to hide the message of Christ Re: the Nico Laitanes is also expected behavior. Nevertheless, the word must be advanced, regardless of the viscious attacks from the catholics.

"Creeds are never of God; they are concoctions of men."I do not mind your continual insults and innuendo when they regard me, but I find your less than Christian attitude and ad hominems against Markbsnr highly offensive and inappropriate for a discussion of Jesus on Good Friday.

Nicolaitanes (it's one word) were a polygamist cult in the early Church. They were opposed by what would became your dreaded Catholic Church.

So that doesn't even fit your argument...

Choosing instead to rely upon your traditions.

You may want to re-think this...


1 Corinthians 9:19-23

19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Nicea and the Nicene Creed?

A very good definition of Christianity. The Athenasian Creed is a more rigourous definition. Would you profess either?

Nicea was a rogue counsel of devious men who sought to hide the word of God from the people. Creeds are never of God; they are concoctions of men.

Ah, so making it all up as you go along is preferred in the non Christian universe?

What does any of that nonsense have to do with “the Trinity?” (nothing, of course, just a diversion by a less than honest mind)

Let us hear you profess the Trinity. The Triune God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each complete God and each part of the Trinity.

I have challenged you several times to actually trace Paul's journeys and tally up the amount of time he spent with the Jews and how much time he spent with the Gentiles. Evidently that has not been done. Scripture is clear. Your statement is erroneous.

His ministry to the Corinthians, Ephesians, and Philippians was 100% celebration of the appointed days. There are no other activities involved.

You're kidding, right? How many examples do you want?

If it was not for the Church, you would not have the message of Christ. There is no such term as Nico Laitanes. It is as concocted as anything that those who oppose the Church have ever come up with.

Appreciate it, my friend. Those who actually believe in and worship the Creator as opposed to the image in the mirror thank you for this support.

It is a matter of precedence. If Joseph Smith can get away with creating a religion, then so can other people. Smith built his upon anti Presbyterianism (and to a lesser extent Baptist and Methodist beliefs). Others build theirs upon anti Catholicism.

Same methodology, same purposes.

"Same methodology, same purposes."

Some people believe all they need to do to be tall is to stand next to short people. These are the ones who do nothing to exemplify why their particular faith or denomination is a living testimony to the Gospel. Instead they spend every waking moment posting about the shortcomings of someone else's faith and denomination. They especially need our prayers. Please keep them in your prayers and in your heart so that by your example they can be saved.

Jesu Kyrios

I'm violating my own standard here; but surely you realize that the Protestants built UPON Catholicism - merely minus a lot of the false baggage that had crept it.
