1. Referring to Mary as the Mother of God. this could not be more wrong and sinful it is outright blasphemy .nothing less .
and has led many people into error and idolatry and still does .
to save typing
Just read this article ,i feel it covers it well . https://carm.org/is-mary-the-mother-of-god
You and that carm site are very ignorant. If you are to separate Jesus from his humanity and his divinity then you are going against scripture. Unless you believe there is a difference between God and Jesus then claiming Mary is the mother of Jesus is claiming is the Mother of God, if you believe him to be God.
If it was blasphemy, then why was it said in Luke 1:43? Wasn't the gospel of Luke written by Luke the apostle, who also the most academic to detail writer of the rest and used Matt and Mark as a reference?
also when you do another study of the bible as you claim to have done
and you compare the mary written of in scripture to the mary of the rcc .. you find they are not the same person they are not even close to the same person. they are two diabolically opposed persons .
the Mary of the bible is
NOT the mother of God
NOT devine (born without sin)
NOT the queen of heaven
NOT a perpetual virgin
NOT a co mediator .
1. Explained already
2. Born with out sin doesn't mean Devine. This was discussed in the previous page.
3. Queen of Heaven is title rooted from Revelation 11:19 the woman with a crown of 12 stars around her head. When you read Ps. 2:9 which says "with an iron rod you shall shepherd them" and connect it with Rev 12:1, which describes "The woman with a crown" will bring forth a male child (Jesus) who will rule the nations with a rod of iron." She is pretty much written in a high metaphorical manner in Revelation, don't you think?
Claiming she is the Queen of Heaven does not mean she shares authority with God, because she doesn't. It simply underlines Revelations, underlines Jesus is God, and underlines what scripture writes about the lineage of the line of King David. We are actually following the scripture to it's core, just like we did when we canonized it.
and 2 1. Praying to Mary, angels, and the Saints?
-communicating with those who have passed from the mortal body into the non mortal spiritual realm is forbidden by God ..it is the realm of the sin committed by mediums ,it is necromancy and SIN . such methods used by those who practiced such sins is chant and incantation.. ..-and so many dont realise that chanting hail mary is but an incantation to evoke the spiritual realm .
Where in the bible does it state this? If this is so, then why is it that the Jews themselves prayed to Elijah? Why is it said in Revelation 5:8 that angels were passing the prayers of the Saints to God? If it was wrong as you say so then why is it that David did it "Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!" (Ps. 103:20-21). I think you protestants developed your own definition of prayer and simply think it's an act of worship. It's an exercise of faith, but contacting Christians in Heaven is only achieved by talking-spiritually (praying), it can't be considered necromancy because they aren't dead.. and the fact that you can't put that in your head means you are not following the Bible especially John 3:16. Jesus gave all his followers eternal life.
