To: Salvation

Mary wasn’t in anything to do with God. She was a human woman. Human like you and me. She had one mission on earth, to birth the LORD Jesus Christ. That was the end of her mission. The Scriptures tell nothing of her doing anything after the crucifixion. John took her in and was her son after that. People who want to make a religion based on Mary are wrong! Scripture does not, does not give Mary any position in salvation. Only Jesus can do that. I hope those that keep praying to Mary get it straight before it is too late. Those that are seeing signs of Mary are seeing signs brought on by Satan. Satan is making people think Mary is the one. Anything to do away with people looking to Christ.

Protestants have a child-like, elementary view of Christianity, The only thing necessary for their salvation is to BELIEVE!! Forget about living your life for others. Only BELIEVE! Do whatever you feel like doing. Stay drunk all the time, be a dope addict, shack up all your life and never get married, only BELIEVE! Never set foot in the front door of house of worship, only BELIEVE! Well by God if Billy Bob says the only requirement for going to heaven is to believe and watch his TV sermon, then that must make it true! Only believe!

You post started off well.

But Catholicism is based on God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

The first half of the Mass is from the Bible. Have you ever been to a Catholic Mass?

You insinuate that Satan causes apparitions, etc. I strongly disagree.

Where do you get this false information? A pamphlet, peprhaps? A preacher who hates Catholicism?

Really? Please explain the following:

From John 19:

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!

Why was she still around if she “had no mission?”

****You also stated: The Scriptures tell nothing of her doing anything after the crucifixion.

From Acts 1:
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

By the way, what is your interpretation of this:

Revelation 12:1 - And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” St. Jerome (A strong exhortation from a Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church to Christians urging all to recognize that serious Bible study is a necessity, not an optional luxury. St. Jerome, was a monk and bible scholar of the 5th century, a contemporary of Saint Augustine.)
