Jasonhoova,

Whatever gave you the notion that we disrespect Mary? The Bible tells us that she is blessed among women, so we agree with you on that point. Our problem is with Catholics and other idolaters who worship Mary instead of worshipping God. Catholics seem to pray to just about everyone but God. They don't ever bow down to Jesus--they only bow to idols of Jesus. This is proof number one that Catholics are not Christians. Catholics are disgusting!

I saw this young man call himself the “Holy Ghost”. Is this some sort of Cathlock takeover attempt in ??

Oh, I shouldn't worry, dear Mr. Rutherford. That young man is, obviously, very mis-guided, and on his way to -- despite the best efforts of the people here, to help him see the errors of his ways.

But, as far as staging a very nonsensical, ill-advised attempt to overthrow -- well, that won't happen. Rest assured: those Cathyolicks would be fools to attempt such tedious twaddle with the .

That would appear to be Catholic doctrine, unsubstantiated by Scripture. Mary never claimed any spiritual authority - it is not for Man to give this to her.

The relevant passage is
Joh:2:1: And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
Joh:2:2: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Joh:2:3: And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Joh:2:4: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Joh:2:5: His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.


As far as a blood relationship to the Trinity is concerned, Mary has none... not a drop. She is entirely human.



She was no more than the vessel through which Our Lord entered this world. Why! I would ask you to compare this with having a meal at the finest restaurant in your area, and at the end saying "You've got a good oven."... It rather misses the point don't you think?

God is described as Heavenly Father in a number of places. What about a "spiritual" mother? The parallel is not drawn.

OLD TESTAMENT links to Old Testament occurrences (1)

NEW TESTAMENT links to New Testament occurrences (22)

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Now depending on what you think "spiritual" means, and in this context Mary's status is a legal one.....

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law

.....it's safe to assume you're referring to something like The Spirit of the Law. In that case "spirit" is the impetus behind lawmakers' drafting a law in the first place. Sometimes a poorly written law is ambiguous and judges need to read what lawmakers said (at the time of its writing) to learn what they intended. Happily for us, God is never ambiguous and it was easy to see what The Bible says about spiritual mothers.

There is another concept to mention here. Latent energy. Applied to "spiritual mothers" the definition†

energy existing in a body by virtue of its position or state of existence, which is not being exerted at the time

could be applied to motivations unable to be expressed until human beings had been created. Sadly, despite God's explicit warnings, the impetus motivating Eve to throw His love back in God's face prevailed over her willingness to obey, evil entered the world and there we see out spiritual mother.

I do not like how this website says nearly everyone is going to HELL including children. you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Jesus loves ALL the little children. and ADULTery is a sin. think about that. Mary is the mother of God and I don't like how you dishonor her. she is a divine woman. that is Jesus' mom for goodness sakes. Baptists act like they hate her. it is God's will for many to be saved. but unfortunately many people are very mean and evil. that is why you must be a child or childlike to inherent heaven. children are pure and innocent. God would be unjust if he sent children to hell. most likely this post is going to be erased. but you all really need to know that and repent and put away your sinful ways and just embrace Jesus and if you can't accept the way how innocent children are than I feel sorry for you. you will go to hell. signed, God Jay hoovah

I’m not going to apologize for following the whole KJV Bible from cover to cover in its entirety. As a matter of fact we are the only church that actually does as we are commanded by our Lord. Perhaps you need to get right with God and ask for forgiveness for your sin.
