>>You would love being a Catholic.<<

That’s wrong on so many levels I won’t even take up your time. The only reference is scripture to a “vicar” or “stand in for Christ” isn’t anything I want to be associated with. The only references by God to a “queen of heaven” tells me that Catholicism is something I will only condemn and speak out against.

Your responses only highlight your ignorance of both scripture and what the Church teaches.

Jesus is the descendant and heir of King David. Mary is the mother of the King. The office of Queen Mother is all over the place in the Old Testament.

Everything the Church teaches about Mary isn’t about Mary but rather about Jesus and God’s plan for our salvation and sanctification.

A good analogy the Church uses is Jesus is like the sun and Mary is like the moon. Mary doesn’t generate any light on her own but only reflects (magnifies) the light of Christ.

Keep studying the Bible and the Holy Spirit will eventually open your eyes to the truth that Jesus established an authoritative Church on His apostles.

God bless you. I will pray for you tonight.
