Mary,

Gate of Heaven

This one invalidates all of the other titles given to the mother of Jesus...

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

.Joh 10:9 I am the door (gate): by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

The mother of Jesus, Mary, is not the gate to anywhere that has anything to do with Jesus...

Gorgoepekoos (the Quick-To-Listen)

Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

1Co 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Eleousa (the Merciful)

Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Catholics tell us it is Mary who sits on the throne of grace...

Eph 2:18 For through ~~Mary~~ him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

It's crazy that there are Catholics who teach this stuff...It's crazier that there are people who believe it...

It is tragic, for these teachings are leading people away from the broken and contrite spirit that God will not caste out. The works, the sacramental trail, the devotions to dead and to the Mary of Catholicism, all these are devices inveigled into Christianity by traditions of men, and are heresies. To teach them as The Gospel is blasphemous.

Pride drips from some of these catholic posts where doing is emphasized, as if merit may be earned by devotion to the Catholic Mary, or to various dead men called Catholic Saints.
