And not a single word about God that didn’t treat the Lord Almighty as some kind of accessory for Mary to carry around.

Makes me wonder if the beast from either the sea or land will claim to be Mary.

Pffhahah, no, you can’t credit Roman Catholicism for anything. As has been attested upthread Catholicism didn’t even settle its canon until Trent.

Credit Brother Luther for the Bible; he did more for the canon of Scripture than Rome ever did.

But in reality, the fact that you’re trying to credit Roman Catholicism instead of the Holy Spirit brings to mind doubts about what the true object of worship REALLY is.

Quote
In the Book of Acts chapter 1, Peter and the rest of the Apostles meet to replace Judas as one of the 12 Apostles

And that act, Cronos,began the leavening of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the church..

Judas’ replacement in the church is still in the office.
It’s not Matthias, it’s Satan, who has held the money bag from the start..

Satan’s corruption of the church was predicted way back in your ‘Roman Catholic bible’..
Genesis and then again, in Exodus..

The serpent would beguile.
The shepherd and priesthood staffs would become serpents..

That’s where the world and the church is today.
Serpent led..

About 2,000 cubits.
About 2,000 demon possessed swine years..

Satan needs his tail grabbed Cronos.

That requires Satan’s lies to be exposed and discarded by the church..

Oh, what a bad day that will be for all religion.
But a great day for Truth..

His Day isnt Tiws day today, Cronos.
Want to grab Satan by the tail and know what today is?
See Exodus 16 for a clue/hint in your Roman Catholic Bible.

And know it has to do with the Passover Lamb’s Parable of the Sower.
The day in your ‘Roman Catholic Bible’, just not on your Roman Catholic calendar..

When the wine ran out at the wedding in Cana, Mary turned to Jesus and said: “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:3-5, NIV) just sayin...

And NOWHERE does Jesus ever tell us to obey HIS mom.

This whole appeal to Mary for following Jesus is a Catholic construct.

Jesus Himself tells us what He expects. Why is that not good enough for Catholics that they can't or won't listen to Him but will to His mother?

We are to follow JESUS at HIS command, not Mary or Jesus through Mary's command.

Matthew 4:19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 8:22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

Matthew 9:9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

Matthew 10:38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Mark 1:17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

Mark 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

Mark 8:34And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Mark 10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Luke 5:27 After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”

Luke 9:23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

Luke 9:59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

Luke 18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

John 1:43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”

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

John 12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

John 21:19 And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

I don’t know bro, but I always assumed that the AC, and false prophet, are men, not women.

in the end, the majority of us will need God’s mercy... intercession on one’s behalf is what Catholics believe, the decision is Jesus’ to make, i wouldn’t want to dis anyone’s mom, but especially not Jesus’.

And NOWHERE does Jesus ever tell us to obey HIS mom.

Sorry, but you are twisting the Blessed Virgin Mary in a not so honest way.

Who- What or Where says Catholics believe Jesus says we must "OBEY" Mary?
Where do you find this "Obey" doctrine in the Church teaching?
We can disagree on doctrine for sure- and that is fine- but nowhere can you make the leap that Catholics are "commanded to OBEY The Blessed Virgin Mary" on the word of Christ.
That's just false.

He told us to "Behold His Mother"- but quite a different deal there.
Listen to her, yeah sure - We would be stupid not to-- as her last words int the Bible are-
DO WHATEVER HE (JESUS) TELLS YOU...
So that sounds like good advice...
But NOWHERE is it stated in Catholic Church teaching we MUST OBEY the Virgin Mary at the behest of Jesus.

OK, now that's out of the way... we go to the Temple - young Jesus stays behind- Joseph and Mary find him.

51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
(RSV- other translations use "subject" to them.)

So yes as a Child- Jesus would honor his parents as a Jewish son. That does not mean Mary holds any higher office over Jesus- other than Mother.

Fast forward to Cana- and the assumed disagreement between Son and Mother.
Which there was no real squabble at all.

Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come."

Does Jesus NOT KNOW he was going o perform his first public Miracle there- on the Third day of the Wedding...?
Did he not know that day he was replacing the Old wine of Israel that was gone, with the Wine of the New Covenant?
God didn't know?
Well, we know very well that Christ did know what he was going to do that day....
so why the push back on Mary?

Why would he tell His Mother - It was not yet time- when he knew it was?

Because The Blessed Virgin Mary KNEW it was the right time - Remember-
HIS Mother kept ALL these things in her heart...

Christ ALLOWS HER TO INTERCEDE FOR HIM in letting Her think she is jump starting the Miraculous performance for the New Israel...
He ALLOWS Her to participate in His Salvific Mission- to bring others (those servants she directs) into participation then- and that of the Heavenly Banquet to come.

NOT OBEDIENCE- PARTICIPATION

As we participate in the Body of Christ- she has been chosen intercessor- though not the absolute intercessor- but with ALL the Angels and Saints...and so we say...

Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

This does NOT go around Christ.
We can NEVER love The Blessed Virgin MORE THAN we Love Christ...
Christ was not forced to do anything at Cana, He ALLOWED his Mother's input and participation at Cana- because she was Chosen to Intercede for us, and continues to do so... for those who need her...

Do whatever he tells you...

John 1.1

Jesus is God, Jesus was God even in the womb.

Your belief that Jesus was not God in the womb is false,

Mary bore Jesus God

Pfafhah, the Catholic church is the one who collected the collection of 73 books th6is the Bible.

You keep that collection because of the church.

Luther took the Christian buble and cut out books that disagreed with his theology which is why he wanted yo axe both the book of Revelation and the epistle of James.

The Holy spirit works through the church, which is why Jesus left a church, not a book.

Actually you are the one making God an accessory.

Jesus was God in the womb.

The creator had as His mother one of His creations.

Or perhaps you belief Jesus was not God in the womb

The masterful conflation is the false 19th century philosophy of the pre tribulation rapture.

That’s non biblical and non historical

Dissembling using red herrings is sure sign you are not about to offer only truth. Your false trail of 'where does it say' is crumbling under the weight of the Rosary and titles your religion has stamped on Mary the Mother of Jesus.

You deceivers plead Traditions when it is convenient in forming a deception, but immediately abandon the Traditions when it suits the deception. Your religion calls MAry a co-redemtrix/co-mediatrix, implying she is essential to salvation and all ought follow 'her' admonitions. Such deceptive wording is satanically brilliant, and quite telling of the spirit driving Catholicism.

An org rife with sexual deviants and blasphemers conflated with the Body of Christ Born Again Believers CHURCH is typical of dead souls drowning in their pride.

You continue to try and float that lie. That stamps you as a purposed liar. You have been shown the much earlier references yet you continue to try and use that lie. Typical cult practice.
