Where's the Untier of Knots when you need her?
You’re skimping! Let me add to that list from the titles lovingly ascribed by the Christ-faithful Byzantine Greek Catholic Church:
Bebaia Elpis (the Certain Hope)
Boetheia (the Helper)
Brephokratousa (the Infant-Holder)
Chrysopege (the Fountain of Gold)
Deomene (the Supplicant)
Eleousa (the Merciful)
Eleutherotria (the Liberator)
Evangelistria (the Bearer of Good News)
Galatiane or Galatousa (the Nursing Mother)
Giatrissa (the Healer)
Glykophilousa (of the Sweet Kiss)
Gorgoepekoos (the Quick-To-Listen)
Gregorousa (the Vigilant)
Hagia Skepe (the Sacred Protection)
Hodegetria (the Leader)
Hypermachos Strategos (the Defending General)
Kataphyge (the Safe Haven)
Megalochare (Of Great Grace)
Myrobletissa (the Spring of Myrrh)
Myrtiotissa (of the Myrtles)
Pantanassa (the Queen of All)
Paraportiane or Portaitissa (by the Gate)
Paregoretria (the Giver of Solace)
Phaneromene (the Revealed)
Pharmakolytria (the Deliverer from poison)
Platytera ton Ouranon (the Wider than the Heavens)
Ponolytria (the Deliverer from pain)
Thalassine (of the Sea)
Why does she have all these titles? Because she is great?
No, because she is lowly,and He who is Mighty has done great things for her. Because she is the Mother of the True and Rightful King -— the *King* to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth. And -—pay attention here, because this is the key -— because she refers everything to God.
And this is not only to show us who God is -— He is the giver of all these good things -— but also to show us who WE are, we who are part of Lady Ecclesia, — and Mary is an image of this -— the Chosen Lady who represents the Chosen Lady.
So all this applies to you, too, if you are a member of His Blessed Ekklesia.
But as it is written,
Eye has not seem nor ear heard,
nor has it entered into the mind
of man to imagine,
what God has prepared
for those who love him.
All this applies to you, too, if you are one of her children (Rev. 12:17)
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
You remain blissfully clueless ...
Did you think you deserve some grweat respect because you can copy the Greek wording? Have you even read the titles to see how blasphemous your assertions are? Truly you expose the foolishness of traditions of men, men who have attributed to humble yet blessed Mary the Mother of Jesus attributes which only a demigoddess would have? Yet you deny Catholiciism has elevated The Mother of Jesus to a godlike status! How very dark is the light in such a twisted soul ...
Thank you, Mrs. Don-o.
There is a verse from one of Paul's letters addressing 'ever learning, never coming to the knowledge of truth' ... 2 Timothy 3:7
“Lady Ecclesia” ???????
What a bunch of unscritpural nonsense.
Mrs. Don-o (Her offspring: those who keep God's commandments and bear witness to Jesus. - Rev. 12:17)
Where's the Untier of Knots when you need her?
Wow...the deception is worse than imagined.
The Lady Ecclesia????
If these were OT times some stones would be in the process of being gathered.
There is NO LADY ECCLESIA.
Paul's words to the Galatians are appropriate here.
6I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! Galatians 1:6-9 NASB
**************************
And -—pay attention here, because this is the key -— because she refers everything to God.
Well....no.
As previously illustrated the overwhelming emphasis of the Hail Mary is directed TO Mary with over 50 prayers TO Mary.
Further, several of the apparitions claiming to be Mary have commanded people to build structures in her honor.
Indeed, the promise of the Scapular to trust in the apparition to keep the Roman Catholic out of the hellfire further refutes your claim.
****************** All this applies to you, too, if you are one of her children (Rev. 12:17)
As explained numerous times before, but again for the casual reader.
IF Roman Catholicism wants to claim Revelation 12 is about Mary this contradicts much of Roman Catholicism's teachings on Mary.
1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. Rev 12:1-2 NASB
Roman Catholicism claims v1 is about Mary...yet, in defiance of sound Biblical exegesis, and grammar, the she in v2 ceases to be Mary somehow.
Why?
IF v1 is about Mary then v2 has to be about Mary. The astute reader will note the woman cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.
This contradicts Rome's assertion of the immaculate conception.
Why? Genesis 3:16.
16To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.”
Again...no sound biblical exegesis would allow for the subject to switch from one person to another person within the same sentence as Rome attempts to do with Revelation 12:1-2.
All of this is done to support a non-Scriptural dogma that the Catholic Encyclopedia admits: No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture.
To continue to persist in this belief is to reject the Gospel.
******************************
Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Continuing to illustrate the lack of proper exegesis of Scripture.
Context is key to understanding Scripture. You've pulled this verse completely out of context to support Rome's false dogmas.
********************
Regarding the rather lengthy, yet blasphemous listing of titles, there is a similar one called the Litany of Loreto. The listing, like this one, pretty much declares Mary to be omnipotent. (IF, as claimed Mary can do all of this, one wonders why the Roman catholic really needs Jesus?).
However, back to the listing. In 1631 by Bull of Alexander VII (1664), it was strictly forbidden to make any additions to the litanies.
(http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09287a.htm)
But, as so often witnessed in Roman Catholicism, this too changed and additional titles were added to the Litany.
The worship of Mary in Roman Catholicism continues unabated.
It is only a matter of time before the Fifth Marian dogma is pronounced. And it will happen. As so much of Roman Catholic Mariolatry has developed, it just takes time and a desire of the people for it to happen.
To persist in this is to reject the Gospel of the New Testament.
