Good replies metmom.

Personally, I believe that the deification of Mary is directly related to the original cult ... that of Nimrod (the Hunter) and Semaramis (his Mother). There are many legends about these two, but the critical link is that the godliness of the son inferred deification of the mother. Their symbol is still in use today ... by Islam of all things. The symbol of the moon and crescent was the sign of Nimrod (the moon) and Semarimis (the crescent). Why Islam chose this as their symbol baffles me, because it is directly representative of a much more ancient religion.

I FIRMLY believe that anyone who imparts any form of deification on Mary is a lost soul. Jesus is our ONE AND ONLY intercessor with the Father. Prayers to Mary, because she has some "special grace" with Jesus would be an interpretation of the bible that would essentially say that there needs an intercessor between man and Jesus, which directly contradicts the entire message of Jesus. Jesus is the intercessor, not Mary. Jesus never prayed to Mary. Jesus never told anyone else to pray to Mary. The entire Mary cult is nothing more than the cult of Semarimis infiltrating the body of Christ. In short, if you want to pray to Mary, then you cannot believe in Jesus, because only one can be the intercessor between man and God. Make your choice ... but choose wisely, because praying to one will get you to Heaven and praying to the other will land you in Hell.

but choose wisely, because praying to one will get you to Heaven and praying to the other will land you in Hell.

I believe you are correct sir. I am puzzled, however, why would anyone with half a brain, choose to land in Hell?
I would much rather land in Heaven. I will follow the ONLY mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim 2:5)
If others choose a different mediator, other than the only one God has designated, well then. I think there is no hope for them. No one can say they were not warned.
