The point is ronnie that the Catholic Church has so twisted and corrupted scripture to create their beliefs it has become a joke. Mary is NOT the new Eve nor is she the new ark.

Christ is the new Adam as we see in Romans 5:14. Adam didn't come from Eve. He came from God.

the Ark of the Covenant foreshadowed Christ not Mary. The Ark was where God was with the people. The Psalmist says "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.…". When the armies of Israel carried the Ark before them they were victorious just as we are victorious when we keep Christ before us. The law was contained within the Ark and so is the law contained in Christ. In Psalm 40:8 we find that the law was within Christ's heart. The Ark went before the people to lead them and so Christ leads His people as we see in John 10:3-4. The Ark was where God was with the people of Israel so Christ is "God with us".

Mary is not the new Ark nor is she the new Eve. As Christ ridiculed the Pharisees for corrupting the laws so we ridicule the Catholic Church for corrupting scripture.

The difference between you and Christ is that Christ was infallible, you are not.

In Psalm 40:8 we find that the law was within Christ's heart.

We also find that the words spoken by Jesus to his mother were kept in her heart (Lk 2:51). Jesus came to fulfill the law. The law was contained in the Ark as Jesus was contained in Mary. When Mary goes to visit Elizabeth, it is her voice that announces the presence of Jesus to John the Baptist.
