I had a personal experience with Mary too, she brought me closer to her Son through the rosary. She appeared to me through a woman named Mary, this true woman who actually exists came into my life when all other people failed to understand my depressed soul back then, she was full of compassion, understanding but also didn't agree with me either back then, only acknowledged my feelings, it's hard to explain. Long story, I met that woman on July 18th, the same day our Lady appeared to Catherine Labouré, I knew it was her, from that day on I started to pray the rosary more and she slowly led me to Jesus, reading the word and in prayer. I love our holy Mother.
This is the best talk on Mary I’ve ever seen. I used to be a Protestant and tho I felt I had a mother in Mary due to personal experience, I still struggled intellectually. This put me at ease. It means the world, thank you to everyone involved.
If you really research the Bible, you will find everything he says is eisegetical, not exegetical. Catholics force Marian tradition onto passage where it never belonge.
@@DRYeisleysCreationssays the Protestant! 😂😂
@@Dienekes678 Jesus was the first protestant.
Juat like the Saducees and Pharisees of Christ's day, the Catholic church puts its precepts above God's Word.
If Jesus came back today as he did then, the Catholic church would accuse him of speaking blasphemy against Mary.
@@DRYeisleysCreations rubbish. Jesus founded the Catholic Church, and gifted the Blessed Virgin Mary to each one of us.
@@Dienekes678 Jesus didn't found the Catholic Church.
If Jesus founded the Catholic church, why do you practice communion differently than he gave it to the disciples?
I seriously doubt the Eternal Son of God would give Mary the title of a goddess that provoked him to anger (Jer. 44:17-25).
Dr. Scott Hahn, a gift to the Catholic Church, no doubt. Mother Mary is smiling on you, Dr. Hahn.
Absolutely 👌🏾🤗 🤩
He sure is a gift to Catholicism but not to any true Christian. No wonder Catholics know nothing about God and he did in Christ
All you ever listen to are false teachers who lie about Mary.
The gospel isn't about Mary it's all about Christ Jesus the Lord.
Mary is no one's inheritance, Christ is. Mary can't hear it see anyone. She isn't alive, she's dead with all other saints who died in faith. She isn't a mediator, she needed one herself. She isn't a queen, Christ never crowned her a queen.
She isn't what your blind guides tell she is. I find all Catholics too lazy to actually study the Scriptures to know what they are told are all lies.
He is wrong. But then again catholics love that cannot be proven

PLease, quote the Holy Bible that says Mary is in heaven.
Revelation 12.
It was a vision of Mary beckoning me to her Son that got me to take RCIA classes and become a Catholic. Mary inviting me to her Son. Amen!
That's wonderful. Amen.❤❤❤❤😊😊

So, you have NO brains to question that?? Satan CAN do the SAME!!!!
btw--Where is Mary??? Quote the Bibilical proof.
Is Mary dead?
Satan comes to us as an angel of light. Only God saved us through Christ sacrifice. Mary or any other. Person appearing to us is not scriptual. You were fooled.
Mary’s first child was Jesus. Then when Jesus was born & according to Jewish law (not Catholic or Protestant) following her days of purifying at some point Joseph in Biblical jargon “knew his wife”. They had I think at least one girl & 2 sons. She has always been honored. Mary needed a Savior as well. RC religion treats her as a co-redemptress. She is not. We must not pray to dead people anyway.
There are two people you need to worry about. How to get to Jesus and God. It's certainly not through Mary. Scripture says so. Your so called first pope doesn't say it's through Mary either. Read his epistles and you will find that he doesn't teach those doctrines or any Catholic doctrines for that matter. You've been deceived by Satan with help from your church that has perverted God's word. You have rejected it and believed in Rome. You will pay a heavy price unless you "come out of her", that is Roman Catholicism.
I'm watching this on Mary's birthday, September 8th, 2021.
Thank God for men like Dr. Scott Hahn.
Former Protestants make the best Catholics and defenders of our Holy Catholic Faith.
Such uninspired nonsense. Gal 4:3 says, "Even so we, when we were children, were IN BONDAGE under the elements of the world, 4. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, MADE UNDER THE LAW, 5. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." Mary called herself a bondslave/handmaiden, which are both terms of being servants under the law and under the curse of sin.
The Israelites were under the law and Mary was under the same law. She wasn't sinless, but under the law, or the prophecy of the Messiah couldn't be fulfilled to free all sinners from the law sin in our mortal bodies.
Not one Jew could keep the law perfectly, not even Mary, and Christ proved it. That's why the sacrificial system was given, for a temporary atonement for sin. Christ came to give complete atonement, forgiveness and freedom.
Gal 4:6
"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.":8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Paul warns in verse 9 "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years."
Gal 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22. For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24 "Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is THE MOTHER OF US ALL." The Catholic Church is the Mother of Harlots!
Jerusalem above is the spiritual kingdom of God and a spiritual capital and city from heaven. It's above all other cities in majesty. (Gal. 4:26; Heb. 12:22).
Zion/Sion is The Holy Mount, and just as the Jews came from all over the world to worship at Jerusalem of old, which was called mount Zion symbolically, so men come to the new mount Zion to worship, the new/heavenly Jerusalem. (Heb. 12:22)
The city of God is heavenly Jerusalem. (Heb. 11:10-16; Heb. 12:22).
The ONLY Holy/Faithful city for the TRUE CHURCH OF GOD, IS without sin, without harlotry or adultery, for none of those things can enter into it. (Eph. 5:22-28Eph. 5:22-28; 1 Cor. 6:9)
Unlike the old, physical Jerusalem, there are no negative terms to describe the New Jerusalem.
The heavenly Jerusalem is called the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4) This Jerusalem is an innumerable company of messengers, the assembly and church of the firstborn from the dead who will die no more (Heb. 12:22-23).
In Ephesians 1:21-23 it says it is Christ who is "Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head OVER
ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." Stop looking to false teachers Popes, Catholic "fathers" who have distorted the truth! THERE'S NO POPE, PRIESTHOOD OR QUEEN of heaven. CHRIST IS ALL IN ALL.
@@spiritpearls2091 Wow, that's a lot of writing to be wrong. I hope this was just a copy and paste from your protestant files.
This is why there are over 30k different protestant denominations because everyone is acting like their own Pope interpreting the Bible.

What a waste of ink.
@@spiritpearls2091 Aren't we all supposed to be "handmaiden's" of the Lord?
@Delta O'Keefe
Okay, but people interpret the bible slightly differently which explains the many types of Non-Catholic/ Non-Orthodox Christians (or Protestants). It is helpful to have the Church to look up to. I am assuming you believe from since the tike of Jesus the Church got many thing's wrong from her conception?
This is arguably the best talk I’ve ever heard on Mary. Scott Hahn has been touched by God. God Bless!

---Pope Innocent III said “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law.

Whose command did that come from? That we need to pray to Mama Mary and the Saints for intercession? That's a command from men, not from God. That's why Jesus was angry with the scribes and pharisees because they imposed commands that are not of God.
Jesus is our intercessor to the Father..only Him alone and no else..and He made that clear to evryone when He said. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
If you would say that we need and intercessor to Jesus..Sister, there is nothing written in the Bible that says that we need to pray to Saints to get to Jesus..not even to Mama Mary..because His blood that was shed on the calvary is enough to wash away your sins..all you have to do is repent and pray to God..that's it!Don't be deceived!

Dr. Hahn speaks about how difficult it was for him to accept the Marian dogmas. Today, he has possibly the greatest book written for understanding Catholic devotions to Mary. Thanks be to God for the work He does through us sinners!
It's difficult because the Holy Spirit is warning us.
@@ri3m4nn exactly
I admit it's harder for some people to accept the lies of Satan more than others.
That is his problem.
Should Christians Honor Mary?
The Bible tells us very clearly that we shall only worship and revere God alone. Even when John the apostle fell at the angel’s feet in Revelation 19:10, the angel replied, “See that you do not do that! Worship God!”. When Peter and the other apostles were met with worship or reverence, they proclaimed “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” (Acts 10:26) We shall not steal any glory or honor from God. The prophet Isaiah clearly shows us: “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another.” (Is 42:8). These and several other references to the Bible, the Word of God, will be made in this article. We encourage you to look up the verses in the Bible and read them yourself!
Catholics may say that they do not “worship” Mary or the “saints” but instead, they merely seek them to intercede for them to Jesus Christ. In practice, however, they venerate and give glory and honor to them. Where in the Bible do we see this is permitted except to God alone? It’s true that Luke 1:28 mentions Mary as being highly favoured and blessed, but we are never told, and we never see an example, of Mary or any “saints” being given honor and glory by anyone. In fact, the saints, according to the Bible, are all God’s people who have been sanctified by Him, which are all true Christians who Have His life (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2; Eph 1:1; Eph 2:19, 3:18, 4:12; Phil 1:1; Col 1:2,4,12)
Romans 1:25 also speaks of people who have fallen away as those “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Mary, being a human, is not the creator, but she is in fact a “creature”. Exodus 20:4-5 mentions that we shall not bow down or serve the likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water - this includes Mary or any images of Mary. Indeed it is common to see images of revered people in Catholicism and these images are on some occasions prayed to, particularly images of Mary and the “saints”. This is clearly idolatry. Images of Mary are made even as “good luck charms”, which is idolatry because we are placing our trust in this image or statue rather than the invisible living God Himself. In addition, the second of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9 says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them”.
Catholics claim they are not praying to Mary or the “saints” but merely asking them to pray for them or intercede for them but the words of some Catholic prayers and the practice of some Catholics is to pray directly to “saints” and to Mary.
For example, a traditional Catholic prayer, “Hail, Holy Queen”:
“Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.”
Here’s another common prayer to Mary:
“Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.”
We do not see anywhere in the Bible that Christians pray to anyone besides God nor does the Bible mention asking dead people to pray for them. Yes, Mary and these “saints” are dead. The belief is that these dead people are now in heaven and have better and direct access to God, but the Bible teaches clearly that the way to God is open and we may approach God’s throne of grace with boldness and confidence (Heb 4:16)! We do not need any person, particularly a dead person to pray for us when we ourselves have full access to God! To direct prayers to anyone other than God is to rob Him of something that belongs to Him. Our prayers are also symbolized by incense that was burnt on the golden incense altar (Rev 5:8, 8:3-4). They may only rise to God, to His throne, to be a pleasing aroma to Him. They may not rise to anyone else! To do so is an abomination to God.
The idea of Mary or some other person interceding is wrong and contrary to Scripture. The Bible shows us that ONLY Jesus can intercede for us. In John 14:6 Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME.“. 1 Tim 2:5 says “There is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man CHRIST JESUS.” Heb 7:25 says “He (Jesus Christ) is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God THROUGH HIM, since He always lives to MAKE INTERCESSION for them”. Nobody can replace Christ as the intercessor and we do not need an intercessor in order to come to Christ. Mary herself, being a mere person, while alive, also needed an intercessor, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Himself did honor His earthly mother, however. At the wedding at Cana, when requested by Mary, He transformed the water into wine (John 2:1-12). Also, while on the cross, He ensured Mary was taken care of (John 19:26-27) out of His love and responsibility. He performed His duty to His earthly mother out of righteousness and as an example for us to honor our father and mother. However, in Matthew 12:46-50, He did not give any preference to Mary and said “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” and declared that His disciples are His mother and His brothers (in other words, His true family). After Jesus’ ascension, Mary did not have any special position or status in the Church as we can see in Acts 1:14 that she prayed with one accord with the other women and disciples of Christ. This is the last time she’s mentioned in the New Testament, again showing no special importance placed on her.
It is clear that the Word of God shows us that we must not venerate or honor Mary, “saints”, or any man. Honor and glory belong to God alone. Jesus Christ is our intercessor and no one comes to God our Father except through Him! These are not ours or any person’s opinion or personal interpretation of the Bible. The Bible states these truths very clearly. May the Holy Spirit remove all the veils from our eyes (2 Cor 3:16) and bring us into the truth. Amen!
Love you Dr Scott Hahn. Watched your video again. I am English. Born and brought up in the Church of England. Converted to the Catholic Church in 1978. Unfortunately fell away for 19yrs. Through watching EWTN. The Journey Home. I started my journey in 2013. Reconverted 5yrs ago. Went my youngest Goddaughter’s beautiful Catholic Wedding the day after the Assumption of Our Lady. Next day went to mass and am very blessed to be back in the Catholic Church.
Welcome home.

Thank you.
Mama Mary deserves respect but worship belongs only to God alone. Even angels refused to be bowed down to, for they too are servants of God. Often times in the Bible, angels would reprimand those who bow down before them and commanded the apostles or believers to bow down only before God. Not to the apostles, not to Mary or anyone else.Only to God alone.
Whose command did that come from? That we need to pray to Mama Mary and the Saints for intercession? That's a command from men, not from God. That's why Jesus was angry with the scribes and pharisees because they imposed commands that are not of God.

The more I learn about the mother of Jesus, our Lord, the more I fall in love with her. The deeper I go into the mystery of the Mother of God, the more I want to draw closer to her Son, who leads me to the Father, through the Holy Spirit! God be praised!
The connection between Genesis (the old covenant) and John (the new covenant) is brilliant and amazing. Thank you for sharing it, Dr Scott!
Accept it's whoafully being misinterpreted.
It's amazing how you make Jesus point to man and not God. Jesus never claimed the Glory for Himself, even though He could have!
Jesus is the only connection that is revealed and concealed in Scripture!

No one I know denies Mary her role in Jesus life as his earthly mother. She was extremely blessed to be chosen to birth and raise him. What we don't believe is all the rhetoric that Catholicism teaches about her. It's almost like she is the 4th person of the Trinity.
@Collins Anosike : I am a Legion of Mary member. The Blessed Mother identifies herself in the Our Lady of Revelations apparition as " Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son and Spouse of the Holy Spirit." Beautiful description. How can that be? "Nothing is impossible with God," says St. Gabriel and also Jesus to the Apostles.

@@frederickanderson1860 : You are mistaken. God allows man to choose. Mother Mary is the mother of Christ but Catholics do not treat her as Divine. She helps us by interceding for us to her Divine Son. Whatever happens in the world is always within God's will and permission - Judas betrayed the Lord even though he was an apostle.
I was a bruised reed, a flickering wick, it was the turn f the century. In 1999, 40 days before Christmas i was laying in a hospital bed not knowing if i could live again. Strangers came to visit, r rather angels, one even gave me a book- Rome Sweet Home. Although i have been a Catholic since birth I never had a decent understand of Liturgy, the sacraments, Marian doctrine, even the Eucharist. After reading your book Dr Hahn, I knew then by the grace of the Lord, that I can and will live again..found “meaning in suffering to make the effort worthwhile “again but most of all and above all, i have hope again. God bless you and would be awesome to meet you someday.
Tell me, when Jesus returns, where will HE set up His headquarters??? ROME? Or Jerusalem????
That should be the LEAST of your concern. How about in your heart and soul?
My parents are the first Catholic’s in their family. I don’t know their story, but growing up I always sensed if they weren’t Catholic somehow I would have been led to the truth of this faith. Our 1st son is a Dominican Priest, praise be to Jesus. My love for Mary was born in the simple things, my daddy always had this saying that we must treat and accord our mum the highest respect, because she’s the Virgin Mary that he can see. Everything we needed we went to our mum first and she presented them to my dad. Not even my dad’s brothers could go directly to ask for anything, if they do my dad always asks did you discuss this with my wife-no, okay talk to her and she will present it to me. Some of my dad’s family members despised my mum for this, I think at some point some of us her children did too. My mum’s the most docile, humble person that I know yet the most powerful in our family, so much so her own siblings call her mummy. I can’t describe it. The womb that bore Jesus cannot be powerless.
Somehow i get this
This is idolatory and human rationale speaking. Christ himself did not teach this neither did any of his apostles. Do you really follow christ or fakse doctrines??
ON MARY BEEN PRAISED AND VENERATED
Luke 11:27-28
"As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed! But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”(This is Jesus downplaying the importance of mary in bringing him to earth)
Jeremiah 7:18 "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger" (in reference to mary been falsely called as queen of heaven shows the worship or reverence of these godess is ancient and pagan)
ON PRAYER IN GENERAL
Matthew 6:9 ""This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" (this is Jesus teaching his disciples on prayer nowhere does he mention the importance of praying to his mother for graces or protection)
Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." (This is one of Paul's numerous teachings on prayer there's just no sign of rosary or mary)
ON MARY BEEN SEEN AS MEDIATOR OR AS A NECCESSARY INTERCESSOR
1 timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus"
Romans 8:26 " Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words"
Hebrews 7:25 "Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."
ON PRAYING TO DEAD PEOPLE AND ADRESSING SAINTHOOD
Romans 1:7 "To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Shows who is a saint. Its not some process the Vatican makes. Its everyone who loves God and Beleives in Jesus christ)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Thessalonians 4:17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"(shows there is no one alive in any heaven. This is paul speaking years after the resurrection of christ. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about this too)
ON WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE SAVED
Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"(this is wjat is needed baptism is the final confirmation. No where do we see you need to be baptized first to be saved or you need to be baptized by any specific church)
Mark 16:16 "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned" (as you can see Beleiving is the emphasis and tue consequences of not Beleiving is the main topic not being baptized. When you Beleive tobbe baptized woukd be the least of problems)
Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”(He gave this commission to his disciples that is all who were following him. Not to any church organization)
ON THE MEANING OF THE CHURCH, WHAT THE CHURCH DID WHEN THEY MET AND CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
1 Corinthians12:13 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit" (This talks about how one becames part of the body of christ and that is true his spirit. How does one receive the spirit, acts 2:38 "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy spirit")
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (This is quite clear)
1 Corinthians 14:26 "What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up." (This is what we should do when we come together we don't see this in the RCC and to be fair many protestant and orthodox churches as well, paul teaches we all have different gifts and different things to contribute to the growth of one another. Today the opposite is the case. Its usually one head man or gis subordinates in different branches of an organization calling the shots)
Titus 1:5-6" For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient"
1 timothy 3:1-6" This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity"(requirements for being a bishop/elder of a local congregation. No where do we see that they must not be married or celibate. This is falsehood the Catholic Church forces on its clergy(whom they call priest btw)
Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.(Like many of the protestant churches the Catholic Church barely or doesn't recognize these gifts. Instead it has its strange hierarchical structure of priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and finally the pope who has a pagan title pontifux maximus and vicar of christ meaning representative of Christ. This is who Jesus said was his representative on earth. John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" no one man is representative of christ only his spirit. The argument of Peter is forced in. Peter was a spokesman quite alright but he never assumed any authority as head of christs church that title belongs to Christ alone Collosians 1:17-18 "And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" Theres little evidence peter was in rome and peter for sure wasn't called papa nor did he have a papal palace not did he decree papal bulls. These are all strange to the new testament church)
Finally the churches in the new testament were local congregations with elders or bishops they did not have any subordination to rome or some pope somewhere. They only had subordination to Christ. The bishop or elder was appointed for guiding the people in the right direction.

I entreat you to pray the Marian Apparition prayer (given below) of Kreupasanam ( mercy seat in malayalam) and to make a Covenant with God for which Mother Mary will intercede on your behalf.
Say the marian apparition intercessory prayer every morning at 5:30 or anytime you feel burdened.
Holy Mary! Mother of God, we offer our whole hearted thanks for all the blessings and graces for us and our nation through Kreupasanam. Oh, Mary!Holy mother! Mother of God, we specially pray for the ecclesiastical approval of your apparition at Kreupasanam on 7th December 2004 at 2:30 PM and divulged protection of Queen of prophets, Comforter of afflicted, Ark of the Covenant and Mother of the cosmos by the Holy Catholic Church with the objective and theological investigation studies for the propogation of devotion in the church and for experiencing the presence of god and fruitfulness of prayers of thousands in adversities of life, thereby attaining the sanctity of spirit and power of god in our families. Oh Mother! Holy Mother! Let this apparition result in the dedication of Cosmos to thou-the Queen of earth and heaven by the Holy Catholic church for its sustenance.
Holy Mary, our lady of rosary with all the prayers of Kreupasanam, we ask this special intention ( Tell the intention here ) and have mercy on us to grant this in the blessed moment of your apparition.
(after prayer)
*1* Credo , *7* Lord's prayer, *7* Hail Mary
I myself have witnessed miracles through this prayer . See what happened in Cana, mother could quicken the time even when it was not the right time for Jesus to act. The mother in Kreupasanam has authority over the time too, this is proven from the wondrous testimonies Shared here. Church declares Mother's power of intercession in each Hail Mary'; to pray for us sinners 'now' and at the hour of over death also. That is why blessed mother brings quick answers to our emergency needs with this Marian covenant prayer.

Jesus indeed is the eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. What does that mean? It means you don't need anyone to intercede for you, Jesus is our eternal High Priest who intercedes for us to the Father. Thus, " Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Him." Not the apostles, not Mama Mary, only Jesus can intercede for us so that in His name, we can boldly come into the throne of God, and ask for mercy, petitions, and blessings.
This is a clear and profound illustration of Mary our Mother.
Bill, sorry, it is you that has been deceived by traditions of men. Please read the early church writings. History shows the correct interpretation of scripture is the Catholic interpretation.
Francis Mary is not your mother physical or your spiritual mother . She was the mother of Christ and the wife of Joseph she was not a virgin after the birth of Christ Joseph new her after she had her first born Jesus . Matthew 1 : 25 Stop putting her on a pedestal to worship She has nothing to do with our relationship with God or Christ or our salvation
@@donaldcooley897 Worship of Mary is condemned by the Catholic Church, if you watch this video at all, you will see that Mary does have a very important role to play in both our salvation and the Kingdom established by Christ on Earth and in Heaven. Genesis 13:8 and 14:12 give us an example of "brother" being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, but they were uncle and nephew, not brothers. Jesus actually tells us to call one another "brothers" in Matthew 23:8.
We see in Exodus 13:1-2 that "firstborn" doesn't always mean there is a "second-born", the firstborn child obtains that title because he is firstborn.
Furthermore, the use of "until" or "til" in Matthew 1:25 can in no way prove that Mary had kids after Jesus. For example, 2 Samuel 6:23, 1 Timothy 4:13, 1 Corinthians 15:25 (my favorite), show that "until" can be used to denote a different meaning than the one you are ascribing.
The perpetual virginity of Mary is defended using Luke 1:34, in which Mary questions, "how can this be since I know not man?". This makes sense when you realize Mary took a vow of virginity. This is supported by the Protoevangelium of James which was written a mere 60 years after the death of Christ. It also if confirmed by the early church. Even the reformers (Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin), believed in Mary's perpetual virginity.
You're belief that she had more children is unbiblical and unhistorical. Mary is our mother, and I believe this is adequately defended here by Scott Hahn. I would recommend you check out Tim Staples' book: Behold Your Mother, for a more in depth biblical and historical defense of the Marian Dogmas.
Bill I don`t lie to people I teach the truth as found in the Bible The only true bible The KJV Where do you get that I talk about mary as anything thing but White I was an Evangelist on radio , preached and tough in different churches I am 86 years old . I preach an teach what is in the word of God , not what some apostate church teaches The bible says with out the sheading of blood there is no remission of sin . Christ shed his blood on the cross to atone for our sins . If you teach anything else you are making God a liar and you are the one leading people to the pits of hell . I have been born again I am a son of God a joint heir with Christ to the throne I teach only what the scripture say rightfully diving the truth of the word my salvation is by Faith in Christ , he is the only way to obtain excess to God , not though Mary or the saints or the Pope . Mary and the saints are dead they were never resurrected they can`t here your prayers and they can`t intercede to God for you . If you continue to believe in other ways of salvation you will die in your sins and open your eyes in hell . Get saved to day by faith in Christ the only way of salvation
@@donaldcooley897 please read my response to your claims. The Catholic church does not teach a different gospel. We have held the true faith for 2000 years.
I may be a little different than most converts in that I followed Our Lady into her Son's Church. She wasn't an obstacle to overcome, at least not for me. And that was before I understood typology to the degree I do now (far from Dr. Hahn's level of expertise, but it is something I've been informally studying for about five years now).
💓
What is Typology?
@@Darth_Vader258 With Sacred Scripture, it is the term that describes the recognition of 'type' patterns, some of which St. Paul even discusses in his letters (so it is scriptural, itself, and something even sola scriptura proponents can't argue doesn't exist, though they will argue the details). For instance, the promised land is a type of heaven. So is Jerusalem. By 'type,' we don't mean identical, though. What was imperfect in the old, is perfected in the new. Manna is a type of Eucharist. It primarily is used for noting similarities (while maintaining the same imperfect/perfect relationship) between individuals. Adam, Melchizedek, Moses, Samuel, David, etc., were all types of Christ. And Protestants tend to accept that readily enough. What they don't necessarily accept is that some typology also points to connections between the Blessed Virgin and Eve, Rachel, the Ark of the Covenant, etc. The Ark connection is particularly clear, both in the Gospel of Luke and in Revelation. The Ark contained the Law, the staff of Aaron (first high priest) and a jar of manna. Mary's womb contained the Word made Flesh, the eternal High Priest, and the Bread that, unlike manna, would lead to eternal life. In Luke, we see a parallel with the Blessed Virgin's visitation of Elizabeth and David bringing the Ark up to Jerusalem. If interested, read those passages side by side, and all sorts of comparisons may jump out at you (there is like no way Luke wasn't intentionally paralleling this as he wrote his Gospel). Then in Revelation, and remember the chapter and verse references are relatively modern - all books were originally scrolls without these references - John has a vision in which he sees the Ark, and then immediately sees a woman wearing a crown with 12 stars, who gives birth to... Now, Protestants will argue, in their either/or tradition, that woman represents Israel. Catholics, with a both/and tradition that is much older and more in line with how Old Covenant Jews read their inspired books, agree, but also see where in this case a more literal reading of the text contains truth as well.

Best not thank this man. He distorts scripture and adds to God's word what isn't there. It's dangerous to add or insert man-man ideas into the bible and ignorant people's minds. READ and STUDY God's word, so you won't be misled.
Whose command did that come from? That we need to pray to Mama Mary and the Saints for intercession? That's a command from men, not from God. That's why Jesus was angry with the scribes and pharisees because they imposed commands that are not of God.
Jesus is our intercessor to the Father..only Him alone and no else..and He made that clear to evryone when He said. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
If you would say that we need and intercessor to Jesus..Sister, there is nothing written in the Bible that says that we need to pray to Saints to get to Jesus..not even to Mama Mary..because His blood that was shed on the calvary is enough to wash away your sins..all you have to do is repent and pray to God..that's it!Don't be deceived!

Where is "hatred" in these quotes??? Ever quote I mention IS BIBLICAl!!!!
-iF JUST ONE VERSE IS" HATRED", THEN THE QHOLE BIBLE IS NOTHING BUT HATRED!!
Here is what we do know from the bible about Mary.
1. Mary is not the mother of God. We know that from Genesis 1 and John 1.
2. Christ had 4 brothers and at least two sisters Book of Matthew. Also mentioned by Mark, Luke, John, and Paul
3 Mary did not remain a virgin Matthew 1:25
4. If God wanted us to know about Mary, He would have told us. That should be a very good clue not to make a big deal out of Mary.
5. The bible tells us when we die our body returns to the earth. Mary's spirit would return to heaven,
6. No mention of Mary in the bible as being the new Eve or Arc
7. No mention of Mary being immaculate as the bible tells us we all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
8. Mary was only found to be with favor by God well others were found to be righteous by God.
7. Christ lets us know that John the Baptist was greater than Mary.
8. No mention in the bible that Mary was assumed or made a queen.
9. Not only was Mary present in the upper room as you mentioned but so was His brothers.
Apostles are allowed to marry,
1 Corinthians 9:1-5
1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do we have no right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
If Peter (peter is cephas read John 1:42) the so called "first pope" was married, why does the catholic church doesn't allow "pope" to marry?
I am watching this video several times. Thank you Dr. Scott Hahn for sharing with us your good knowledge and faith. Your nourish my faith. Thank you so much and God bless you always. Warm greeting from Indonesia.
Should Christians Honor Mary?
The Bible tells us very clearly that we shall only worship and revere God alone. Even when John the apostle fell at the angel’s feet in Revelation 19:10, the angel replied, “See that you do not do that! Worship God!”. When Peter and the other apostles were met with worship or reverence, they proclaimed “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” (Acts 10:26) We shall not steal any glory or honor from God. The prophet Isaiah clearly shows us: “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another.” (Is 42:8). These and several other references to the Bible, the Word of God, will be made in this article. We encourage you to look up the verses in the Bible and read them yourself!
Catholics may say that they do not “worship” Mary or the “saints” but instead, they merely seek them to intercede for them to Jesus Christ. In practice, however, they venerate and give glory and honor to them. Where in the Bible do we see this is permitted except to God alone? It’s true that Luke 1:28 mentions Mary as being highly favoured and blessed, but we are never told, and we never see an example, of Mary or any “saints” being given honor and glory by anyone. In fact, the saints, according to the Bible, are all God’s people who have been sanctified by Him, which are all true Christians who Have His life (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2; Eph 1:1; Eph 2:19, 3:18, 4:12; Phil 1:1; Col 1:2,4,12)
Romans 1:25 also speaks of people who have fallen away as those “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Mary, being a human, is not the creator, but she is in fact a “creature”. Exodus 20:4-5 mentions that we shall not bow down or serve the likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water - this includes Mary or any images of Mary. Indeed it is common to see images of revered people in Catholicism and these images are on some occasions prayed to, particularly images of Mary and the “saints”. This is clearly idolatry. Images of Mary are made even as “good luck charms”, which is idolatry because we are placing our trust in this image or statue rather than the invisible living God Himself. In addition, the second of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9 says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them”.
Catholics claim they are not praying to Mary or the “saints” but merely asking them to pray for them or intercede for them but the words of some Catholic prayers and the practice of some Catholics is to pray directly to “saints” and to Mary.
For example, a traditional Catholic prayer, “Hail, Holy Queen”:
“Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.”
Here’s another common prayer to Mary:
“Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.”
We do not see anywhere in the Bible that Christians pray to anyone besides God nor does the Bible mention asking dead people to pray for them. Yes, Mary and these “saints” are dead. The belief is that these dead people are now in heaven and have better and direct access to God, but the Bible teaches clearly that the way to God is open and we may approach God’s throne of grace with boldness and confidence (Heb 4:16)! We do not need any person, particularly a dead person to pray for us when we ourselves have full access to God! To direct prayers to anyone other than God is to rob Him of something that belongs to Him. Our prayers are also symbolized by incense that was burnt on the golden incense altar (Rev 5:8, 8:3-4). They may only rise to God, to His throne, to be a pleasing aroma to Him. They may not rise to anyone else! To do so is an abomination to God.
The idea of Mary or some other person interceding is wrong and contrary to Scripture. The Bible shows us that ONLY Jesus can intercede for us. In John 14:6 Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME.“. 1 Tim 2:5 says “There is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man CHRIST JESUS.” Heb 7:25 says “He (Jesus Christ) is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God THROUGH HIM, since He always lives to MAKE INTERCESSION for them”. Nobody can replace Christ as the intercessor and we do not need an intercessor in order to come to Christ. Mary herself, being a mere person, while alive, also needed an intercessor, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Himself did honor His earthly mother, however. At the wedding at Cana, when Mary made a statement, He transformed the water into wine (John 2:1-12). Also, while on the cross, He ensured Mary was taken care of (John 19:26-27) out of His love and responsibility. He performed His duty to His earthly mother out of righteousness and as an example for us to honor our father and mother. However, in Matthew 12:46-50, He did not give any preference to Mary and said “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” and declared that His disciples are His mother and His brothers (in other words, His true family). After Jesus’ ascension, Mary did not have any special position or status in the Church as we can see in Acts 1:14 that she prayed with one accord with the other women and disciples of Christ. This is the last time she’s mentioned in the New Testament, again showing no special importance placed on her.
It is clear that the Word of God shows us that we must not venerate or honor Mary, “saints”, or any man. Honor and glory belong to God alone. Jesus Christ is our intercessor and no one comes to God our Father except through Him! These are not ours or any person’s opinion or personal interpretation of the Bible. The Bible states these truths very clearly. May the Holy Spirit remove all the veils from our eyes (2 Cor 3:16) and bring us into the truth. Amen!

tim spangler - Correction. The prophet Jeremiah was condemning the adoration of the Mesopotamian goddess Astarte, called by some Israelites, Queen of Heaven.
Jeremiah condemned OFFERING SACRIFICES to the goddess Astarte (among other deity)
There is absolutely no parallel with what The Church teaches (see CCC 2110 through 2114) and Jeremiah 44:17. Catholics do not offer sacrifice to The Blessed Mother Mary. Catholics offer sacrifice exclusively to God along.
Read genesis where Abraham is told by God to sacrafice his "only son" the son that he Loves. Its the first time love is mentioned.
CalGirl20 , . The point here is not that Abraham loved his son as most fathers do but It show that Abraham believe and trusted God to supply a sacrifice for he didn`t know how , Chapter 22 : 8 but he believed God . and it was counted as righteousness to God , the same way we attain righteousness to day believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and trust him to save us

Yes amazing talk.
But very sadly amazingly Deceived talk!!!!
@@Boxed4Y hey when i was in the roman catholic church. I used to go to their sat novena church services n we sang "hail queen of heaven"
Isnt this worshipping the mary of the roman church????
Our Lord blesses His children with inspired souls like Scot Han to help our faith grow, deepen & shared.
I absolutely LOVED this talk about Our Blessed Virgin Mary! There is no speaker out there (that I know of) who can hold a candle to Dr. Scott Hahn. I hope I someday get the chance to hear and meet him in person! God bless you. 🙏🏻✝️
Please pray 💗🕊czcams.com/video/jVDSyQFIE4s/video.html
How about God's word? Mary did not remain a virgin.
I just came home from one of his presentations in Greenville, SC.
Amazing, simply amazing.
May God bless him and his ministry 🙏🏼
You would be far better of trusting in God and the bible. Remember Satan comes as an angel of light.
Mama Mary deserves respect but worship belongs only to God alone. Even angels refused to be bowed down to, for they too are servants of God. Often times in the Bible, angels would reprimand those who bow down before them and commanded the apostles or believers to bow down only before God. Not to the apostles, not to Mary or anyone else.Only to God alone.
Testimony of my life 🧬😍 and my family and friends ❣️☺️😊🙂
I can't stop listening to Dr. Scott Hahn .... He is fully inspires by the Holy Spirit.... May Christ Jesus be always with you.
I can guarantee you there is no Holy Spirit inspiration here.
Ameeeeeeeeeen And Ameeeeeeeeeen.
I will be catholic on April 8th! So excited!
You're kidding
And you made me laugh why not instantly 😂😂😂
It blows my mind when I contemplate the unique place of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the history of the Universe, can one even imagine what kind of perfect human creature would be considered by God to bear his son ? Never in human history has God Almighty in the unity of the Holy Trinity , so intimately intertwined Divinity with a human creature , it's so mind boggling that it almost rewrites physics, theology and imagination, to think she's the Mother of Jesus, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit and the beloved daughter of the Father , I think about this a lot and it fills me with joy and wonder, no wonder she is crowned, Queen of Heaven, Queen of Angels and Saints , Mother of God and her beautiful titles in the Litany of Loreto, the humble handmaid of the Lord has been elevated to God's ambassador ,emissary and he wants her Immaculate Heart to shine , intertwined with the Sacred heart of her Son .
Remember with God it's grace not works

Praise The LORD..! Thanks be to God for men like Dr Hahn..! Especially in this culture, we could really benefit from listening to men so devoted to The Blessed Ever Virgin Mary..! Praise The LORD..!
i would listen to him if he was devoted to Jesus only ,as Mary was the mother of Jesus but was nothing more than a mother and not exalted in the new testament not til 1300's was she somehow turned into someone who was never exalted before.
@Collins Anosike Mary is the mother of Jesus her firstborn , she is not the mother of God , she is not the mother of us all , and she was used by God just as all the apostles were used by God. If Mary had said no it would have been another woman who would be called the most blessed mother on this planet.
Hard to retain the term virgin when your firstborn has brothers and sisters . They are listed in scripture but anything other than Mary being the mother of Jesus is not in scripture ? So how is it that all the writers of the new testament forgot to include Mary as something more than the mother of Jesus?
@Collins Anosike And you do not question everything as the bible , you know that bunch of scriptures compiled by the catholic church and then presented to the world , so that people could read it but were not allowed to interpret it, clearly says to test all things and gives an example in Acts 17:11 which you can look up in any translation. We stole the bible from you because we believe the Holy Spirit inspired the writers to give us a clear understanding of the scriptures individually. We stole the bible from you because you are not using it like it was intended.
@Collins Anosike I am not trying to deceive you I am trying to get you to read the scriptures for yourself and PROVE that what some one says to you is true or not .If it is not ,then you need to ask why you are listening to that individual. Just because someone has a degree does not mean they are smarter than you , it means they know how to study. Lots of Evolutionists out there with degrees, will you believe them?
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 ha... for that " only" mother's request Jesus performed the first miracle. She was the one Archangel Gabriel called " blessed among the women". In Magnificat, which she exclaimed in Elizabeth's house and the Bible is quoting so scrupulously, she prophesied her place as the blessed in the eyes of all the nations of this world. Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son and Beloved of the Holy Spirit pray for us!
This invigorated my new found devotion to our Blessed Mother! Thank you Dr Scott Hahn for this talk!
Hannah Ja, Nowhere does the Bible say Mary is your mother, She is only the mother of Jesus, her four sons and at least three daughter, and a kind of mother to her Nephew, John, Apart from those, She is no one else's mother. Don't believe a word that the deceiving Scott Hahn says. He twists the scriptures and gives pure speculations. You CANNOT build a doctrine on twisted scriptures and speculations.
Bill Mary was a Jewish woman who become the mother of Jesus the son of God which the Profit Isaiah talked about He was Immanuel meaning God with us , The New Testament back this up he was called Jesus the son of God
Bill You are wrong, A woman called Mary gave birth to Jesus the Son of God.But you are right about the Catholic church.
Bill, Please Read Matthew 1: 18--23.
Bill Isaiah 7 : 14 The Lord him self will give you a sign Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel . Read Matthew 1 : 18 to 23 what bible or book are you getting your information from It is not from God`s word because the angel told Joseph that Mary who was his wife would conceive and bring forth a son and to call him Jesus
Our church is so blessed!!

I believe that the apostle Paul is a better reflection of the grace of God and the redemption by Jesus Christ than any other person in Scripture. If God is spirit, then why are we so concerned about having a “mother“ figure to complement God? In Christ there is neither male nor female.
Janette Davis
I actually read about 6-8 chapters of scripture a day and follow the Daily Office - praying 4 times a day. My husband has a PhD in Liturgics and his primary advisor for his dissertation was a professor from Notre Dame. I was blessed by the Pope John Paul in 1977 when he was still Archbishop . My husband has been ordained for 42 years. I think I know some things (not everything!) about Scripture.
It’s clear that you have a lot of passion around this subject. Oh that more Christians had passion for the things of God. I would, however, encourage you not to let your passion move you to use unkind words. It’s not charitable and unbecoming of a disciple of Christ Jesus.
Blessings.
YOU: If God is spirit, then why are we so concerned about having a “mother“ figure to complement God? In Christ there is neither male nor female.
How about God the Father and God the Son? Why "male" figure?
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? == Luke 1:41-43
THE MOTHER OF MY LORD.
For3nity
Of course. Mary provides the human side of Christ. The Holy Spirit gave the divine side of Christ. Elizabeth didn’t say “the mother of God”. I think it’s a stretch to say “the mother of God”.
@@ApriluserYOU: Elizabeth didn’t say “the mother of God”. I think it’s a stretch to say “the mother of God”.

Here's a fact that should weaken it substantially... Mary was never mentioned by any of the Apostles in any of their letters... Jesus, however, was mentioned 335 times.
@@brianhale3678 so, why does it have to be in the bible?
@@wolfthequarrelsome504
There's actually plenty of information about Mary the daughter of Heli in the Bible.
1.
Scripture does **not** teach the idea that we need to send anyone for us to the throne of God to ask for grace or mercy, anyone including Mary. On the contrary, we are warmly invited to approach God's throne.
Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV -
*Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.*
2.
That little word "until" shows that Mary was not perpetually a virgin. And, yes, it is in the original Greek. Grammar is not complex.
Matthew 1:24-25 ESV -
*When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.*
3.
Jesus exalted the word of God and obedience to it above his family members.
Matthew 12:46-50 ESV -
*While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.*
This is a companion passage to Matthew 12.
Luke 11:27-28 ESV -
*As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”*
4.
She herself glorified her savior. She was not a sinless person.
Luke 1:47 ESV -
*and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,*
And there's, of course, more than that.
God bless you and your family always, Dr. Scott Hahn

If you would say that we need and intercessor to Jesus..Sister, there is nothing written in the Bible that says that we need to pray to Saints to get to Jesus..not even to Mama Mary..because His blood that was shed on the calvary is enough to wash away your sins..all you have to do is repent and pray to God..that's it!Don't be deceived!
God bless Scott Hahn. He blesses each of us
Im just glad he's on our side!
St. Anselm of Canterbury, in his work Cur Deux Homo he explains:
If the curse of mankind came from the disobedience of a woman, how more fitting than the cause of salvation should come from the obedience of a woman. Eve was created from a man who was virgin, so in the new creation it is the man, Jesus, who comes from a virgin woman.
I would like St. Anselm of Canterbury to explain how a real human female could be "made from a man" ie a human male.
I would further ask him to explain how their sons Cain and Abel and perhaps other unmentioned siblings could healthily give rise to the next generation and successive generations.
His excuse would be that he was unaware in his day of the theory of the evolution of all life on earth.
('Theory' in the scientific sense.)
That would be fair.
It was also believed back in time that erupting volcanos were the expressions of the Gods' anger.
Now we have no excuses for harbouring such nonsensical ideas.

Should Christians Honor Mary?
The Bible tells us very clearly that we shall only worship and revere God alone. Even when John the apostle fell at the angel’s feet in Revelation 19:10, the angel replied, “See that you do not do that! Worship God!”. When Peter and the other apostles were met with worship or reverence, they proclaimed “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” (Acts 10:26) We shall not steal any glory or honor from God. The prophet Isaiah clearly shows us: “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another.” (Is 42:8). These and several other references to the Bible, the Word of God, will be made in this article. We encourage you to look up the verses in the Bible and read them yourself!
Catholics may say that they do not “worship” Mary or the “saints” but instead, they merely seek them to intercede for them to Jesus Christ. In practice, however, they venerate and give glory and honor to them. Where in the Bible do we see this is permitted except to God alone? It’s true that Luke 1:28 mentions Mary as being highly favoured and blessed, but we are never told, and we never see an example, of Mary or any “saints” being given honor and glory by anyone. In fact, the saints, according to the Bible, are all God’s people who have been sanctified by Him, which are all true Christians who Have His life (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2; Eph 1:1; Eph 2:19, 3:18, 4:12; Phil 1:1; Col 1:2,4,12)
Romans 1:25 also speaks of people who have fallen away as those “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Mary, being a human, is not the creator, but she is in fact a “creature”. Exodus 20:4-5 mentions that we shall not bow down or serve the likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water - this includes Mary or any images of Mary. Indeed it is common to see images of revered people in Catholicism and these images are on some occasions prayed to, particularly images of Mary and the “saints”. This is clearly idolatry. Images of Mary are made even as “good luck charms”, which is idolatry because we are placing our trust in this image or statue rather than the invisible living God Himself. In addition, the second of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9 says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them”.
Catholics claim they are not praying to Mary or the “saints” but merely asking them to pray for them or intercede for them but the words of some Catholic prayers and the practice of some Catholics is to pray directly to “saints” and to Mary.
For example, a traditional Catholic prayer, “Hail, Holy Queen”:
“Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.”
Here’s another common prayer to Mary:
“Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.”
We do not see anywhere in the Bible that Christians pray to anyone besides God nor does the Bible mention asking dead people to pray for them. Yes, Mary and these “saints” are dead. The belief is that these dead people are now in heaven and have better and direct access to God, but the Bible teaches clearly that the way to God is open and we may approach God’s throne of grace with boldness and confidence (Heb 4:16)! We do not need any person, particularly a dead person to pray for us when we ourselves have full access to God! To direct prayers to anyone other than God is to rob Him of something that belongs to Him. Our prayers are also symbolized by incense that was burnt on the golden incense altar (Rev 5:8, 8:3-4). They may only rise to God, to His throne, to be a pleasing aroma to Him. They may not rise to anyone else! To do so is an abomination to God.
The idea of Mary or some other person interceding is wrong and contrary to Scripture. The Bible shows us that ONLY Jesus can intercede for us. In John 14:6 Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME.“. 1 Tim 2:5 says “There is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man CHRIST JESUS.” Heb 7:25 says “He (Jesus Christ) is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God THROUGH HIM, since He always lives to MAKE INTERCESSION for them”. Nobody can replace Christ as the intercessor and we do not need an intercessor in order to come to Christ. Mary herself, being a mere person, while alive, also needed an intercessor, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Himself did honor His earthly mother, however. At the wedding at Cana, when Mary made a statement, He transformed the water into wine (John 2:1-12). Also, while on the cross, He ensured Mary was taken care of (John 19:26-27) out of His love and responsibility. He performed His duty to His earthly mother out of righteousness and as an example for us to honor our father and mother. However, in Matthew 12:46-50, He did not give any preference to Mary and said “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” and declared that His disciples are His mother and His brothers (in other words, His true family). After Jesus’ ascension, Mary did not have any special position or status in the Church as we can see in Acts 1:14 that she prayed with one accord with the other women and disciples of Christ. This is the last time she’s mentioned in the New Testament, again showing no special importance placed on her.
It is clear that the Word of God shows us that we must not venerate or honor Mary, “saints”, or any man. Honor and glory belong to God alone. Jesus Christ is our intercessor and no one comes to God our Father except through Him! These are not ours or any person’s opinion or personal interpretation of the Bible. The Bible states these truths very clearly. May the Holy Spirit remove all the veils from our eyes (2 Cor 3:16) and bring us into the truth. Amen!
SO AWESOME. Thank you for this BLESSING
Brother, aren't you kneeling down with two knees when praying to graven images in the church? God never instructed that we make graven images of anything whether in heaven or here on earth..that is in the 10 commandments handed down to Moses in Mt. Sinai. God instructed us to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. How can you do so if you have these graven images who don't even resemble the real face of God? In truth and in Spirit --that is how God wants to be worshipped. You are following man made rules, not God's rules.
@@mikeygarcia8271 Ok here we go. Obviously you have no idea what you are taking about. As Catholics we do not worship images. These graven images you are referring to we set as examples for us to live by. You have probably listened to some nitwit say we worship them. WE DO NOT. We also ask for help and assistance from our saints and angels. May you find your way to the Lord.
@@saltydog8244 Can I ask you..When did the use of graven images start among Christians? Jesus never endorsed it, the apostles of Jesus never endorsed it. Do you know who started it? Not the apostles, not their followers. You know who? It's the pagan priests of ancient Rome who started this tradition of using graven images among catholics.This started it when Constantinople made Rome a Christian nation.
Then all the pagan priests who worshipped roman deities like Zues, Apollo etc..became Christian priests but they took with them their practices of worshipping graven images..so the graven image of Zeus became God the Father, and othe graven images of pagan gods were used to commermorate the apostles.
Do you have any idea what God said in the 10 commandments?
Exodus 20:4 "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."
What you follow is pagan rules, not God's rules.
Just as the sun can pierce glass without breaking it...so, also, did the Holy Spirit enter in to the womb of the Virgin Mary, now, our Blessed Mother! Deo gratias!
Joseph and Mary were petting and some sperm got on a hand and she got pregnant. The coverup was a gorgeous and beautiful miracle.

It’s true that Luke 1:28 mentions Mary as being highly favoured and blessed, but we are never told, and we never see an example, of Mary or any “saints” being given honor and glory by anyone. In fact, the saints, according to the Bible, are all God’s people who have been sanctified by Him, which are all true Christians who Have His life (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2; Eph 1:1; Eph 2:19, 3:18, 4:12; Phil 1:1; Col 1:2,4,12)
Romans 1:25 also speaks of people who have fallen away as those “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Mary, being a human, is not the creator, but she is in fact a “creature”. Exodus 20:4-5 mentions that we shall not bow down or serve the likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water - this includes Mary or any images of Mary. Indeed it is common to see images of revered people in Catholicism and these images are on some occasions prayed to, particularly images of Mary and the “saints”. This is clearly idolatry. Images of Mary are made even as “good luck charms”, which is idolatry because we are placing our trust in this image or statue rather than the invisible living God Himself. In addition, the second of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 5:8-9 says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them”.
Catholics claim they are not praying to Mary or the “saints” but merely asking them to pray for them or intercede for them but the words of some Catholic prayers and the practice of some Catholics is to pray directly to “saints” and to Mary.
For example, a traditional Catholic prayer, “Hail, Holy Queen”:
“Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.”
Here’s another common prayer to Mary:
“Hail Mary full of grace,
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.”
We do not see anywhere in the Bible that Christians pray to anyone besides God nor does the Bible mention asking dead people to pray for them. Yes, Mary and these “saints” are dead. The belief is that these dead people are now in heaven and have better and direct access to God, but the Bible teaches clearly that the way to God is open and we may approach God’s throne of grace with boldness and confidence (Heb 4:16)! We do not need any person, particularly a dead person to pray for us when we ourselves have full access to God! To direct prayers to anyone other than God is to rob Him of something that belongs to Him. Our prayers are also symbolized by incense that was burnt on the golden incense altar (Rev 5:8, 8:3-4). They may only rise to God, to His throne, to be a pleasing aroma to Him. They may not rise to anyone else! To do so is an abomination to God.
The idea of Mary or some other person interceding is wrong and contrary to Scripture. The Bible shows us that ONLY Jesus can intercede for us. In John 14:6 Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME.“. 1 Tim 2:5 says “There is one God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man CHRIST JESUS.” Heb 7:25 says “He (Jesus Christ) is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God THROUGH HIM, since He always lives to MAKE INTERCESSION for them”. Nobody can replace Christ as the intercessor and we do not need an intercessor in order to come to Christ. Mary herself, being a mere person, while alive, also needed an intercessor, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Himself did honor His earthly mother, however. At the wedding at Cana, when Mary made a statement, He transformed the water into wine (John 2:1-12). Also, while on the cross, He ensured Mary was taken care of (John 19:26-27) out of His love and responsibility. He performed His duty to His earthly mother out of righteousness and as an example for us to honor our father and mother. However, in Matthew 12:46-50, He did not give any preference to Mary and said “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” and declared that His disciples are His mother and His brothers (in other words, His true family). After Jesus’ ascension, Mary did not have any special position or status in the Church as we can see in Acts 1:14 that she prayed with one accord with the other women and disciples of Christ. This is the last time she’s mentioned in the New Testament, again showing no special importance placed on her.
It is clear that the Word of God shows us that we must not venerate or honor Mary, “saints”, or any man. Honor and glory belong to God alone. Jesus Christ is our intercessor and no one comes to God our Father except through Him! These are not ours or any person’s opinion or personal interpretation of the Bible. The Bible states these truths very clearly. May the Holy Spirit remove all the veils from our eyes (2 Cor 3:16) and bring us into the truth. Amen!
Wonderful. Thank you.
Such a blessing to watch this on the Feast day to celebrate the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2020! Thank you so much Dr. Hahn and the producers of this video. Praise to the Trinity! Blessed be our Mother of God!🙏🙏🙏💓💖
Jesus indeed is the eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. What does that mean? It means you don't need anyone to intercede for you, Jesus is our eternal High Priest who intercedes for us to the Father. Thus, " Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Him." Not the apostles, not Mama Mary, only Jesus can intercede for us so that in His name, we can boldly come into the throne of God, and ask for mercy, petitions, and blessings.
SHE IS NOT A QUEEN
As always thank you Dr. Scott Hahn for another awesome lesson. Holy Mary Mother of God our peaceful dove. Amen.

What non biblical nonsense next????
@@billy1132 You do not have to like. To me it is a beautiful song honoring Mary the Mother of God and my mother. You got the lyrics all wrong. Sometimes a song is from ones heart and love such this one dedicated to our lady. Now, Dr. Scott Hahn's message is strictly from the Bible, if you care to listen.
Wil liam Shame on you Wil. Trolling again? Can't you find a nice Protestant Saint to read about or watch a good video about the Protestant church in the year 800? Why don't you find a history book and read how the Catholics gave you Scripture? You can't deny it. Well, actually you CAN but you don't have time because you are too busy sniping people on Scott Hahn videos about the Blessed Mother.
@@RumorHazi Well you can't have an exalted Mary with the new testament the catholics gave us , you have to wait till the 1300's to get Mary to be something the bible said she was not.
Bruce W McLaughlin No, you don't. There is plenty of evidence of who the early Christians knew Mary to be. For instance, in referring to her as the Mother of God, the early Church Fathers were quite adamant. Here is some evidence where several are citing Mary as the "Theotokos" or "God Bearer". You might do well to check the citations of each and check it out for yourself.
ST. IRENAEUS OF LYONS The Virgin Mary, being obedient to his word, received from an angel the glad tidings that she would bear God [Against Heresies, 5: 19: 1 (c. A.D. 189)].
ST. GREGORY THAUMATURGUS For Luke, in the inspired Gospel narratives, delivers a testimony not to Joseph only, but also to Mary the Mother of God, and gives this account with reference to the
very family and house of David [Four Homilies 1 (c. A.D. 256)]. It is our duty to present to God, like sacrifices, all the festivals and hymnal celebrations; and first of all, the Annunciation to the holy Mother of God, that is, the salutation made to her by the angel, “Hail, thou that art highly favored!” [ibid., 2].
ST. METHODIUS OF PHILIPPI
While [Simeon] was thus exultant, and rejoicing with exceeding great and holy joy, what had before been spoken of in a figure by the prophet Isaiah, the holy Mother of God now manifestly fulfilled [Oration on Simeon and Anna 7 (c. A.D. 300)]. Hail to you forever, you Virgin Mother of God, our unceasing joy, for unto you do I again return. . . . Hail, you fount of the Son’s love for man. . . . Therefore we pray you, the most excellent among women, who boast in the confidence of your maternal honors, unceasingly to keep us in remembrance. O holy Mother of God, remember us, I say, who make our boast in you, and who in august hymns celebrate your memory, which will ever live, and never fade away [ibid., 14].
ST. PETER OF ALEXANDRIA [T] hey came to the church of the most blessed Mother of God, and Ever-Virgin Mary, which, as we began to say, he had constructed in the western quarter, in a suburb, for a cemetery of the martyrs [The Genuine Acts of Peter of Alexandria (A.D. 305)].
ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM The Father bears witness from heaven to his Son. The Holy Spirit bears witness, coming down in the form of a dove. The archangel Gabriel bears witness, bringing the good tidings to Mary. The Virgin Mother of God bears witness [Catechetical Lectures 10: 19 (c. A.D. 350)].
ST. ATHANASIUS OF ALEXANDRIA The Word begotten of the Father from on high, inexpressibly, inexplicably, incomprehensibly, and eternally, is he that is born in time here below of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God [Incarnation of the Word 8 (c. A.D. 365)].
ST. AMBROSE OF MILAN The first thing that kindles ardor in learning is the greatness of the teacher. What is greater than the Mother of God? What more glorious than she whom glory itself chose? [Virgins 2: 2: 6 (A.D. 377)].
ST. GREGORY OF NAZIANZ If anyone does not agree that holy Mary is Mother of God, he is at odds with the Godhead [Letter to Cledonius the Priest 101 (A.D. 382)]. ST. JEROME As to how a virgin became the Mother of God, [Rufinus of Aquileia] has full knowledge; as to how he himself was born, he knows nothing [Apology Against Rufinus 2: 10 (A.D. 401)]. Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God [Commentaries on Isaiah 3: 7: 15 (c. A.D. 409)].
THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA When, therefore, they ask, “Is Mary mother of man or Mother of God?” we answer, “Both!” The one by the very nature of what was done and the other by relation. Mother of man because it was a man who was in the womb of Mary and who came forth from there, and the Mother of God because God was in the man who was born [The Incarnation 15 (c. A.D. 410)].
ST. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA I have been amazed that some are utterly in doubt as to whether or not the holy Virgin is able to be called the Mother of God. For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the holy Virgin Virgin who bore him not be the Mother of God? [Letter to the Monks of Egypt 1 (c. A.D. 427)].
ST. JOHN CASSIAN And so you say, O heretic, whoever you may be, who deny that God was born of the Virgin, that Mary the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ ought not to be called Theotokos, that is, Mother of God, but Christotokos, that is, only the Mother of Christ, not of God. For no one, you say, brings forth what is anterior in time. And of this utterly foolish argument by which you think that the birth of God can be understood by carnal minds, and fancy that the mystery of his majesty can be accounted for by human reasoning, we will, if God permits, say something later on. In the meanwhile we will now prove by divine testimonies that Christ is God, and that Mary is the Mother of God. Hear then how the angel of God speaks to the shepherds of the birth of God [The Incarnation 2: 2 (c. A.D. 429)]. You cannot then help admitting that the grace comes from God. It is God then who has given it. But it has been given by our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore the Lord Jesus Christ is God. But if he be, as he certainly is, God, then she who bore God is Theotokos, that is, the Mother of God [ibid., 2: 5].
ST. VINCENT OF LERINS Nestorius, whose disease is of an opposite kind, while pretending that he holds two distinct substances in Christ, brings in of a sudden two Persons, and with unheard of wickedness would have two sons of God, two Christs-one God, the other man, one begotten of his Father, the other, born of his Mother. For which reason he maintains that St. Mary ought to be called not Theotokos [the Mother of God], but Christotokos [the Mother of Christ], seeing that she gave birth not to the Christ who is God, but to the Christ who is man [Notebooks 12: 35 (c. A.D. 434)].
Glory be to the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit 💜💜💜

You have a very special place in Heaven, Dr. Hahn. You are a gift for the Catholic Church.
God bless you Dr. Scott Hahn. You are such a scholar.
Agreed!
Mama Mary deserves respect but worship belongs only to God alone. Even angels refused to be bowed down to, for they too are servants of God. Often times in the Bible, angels would reprimand those who bow down before them and commanded the apostles or believers to bow down only before God. Not to the apostles, not to Mary or anyone else.Only to God alone.
Whose command did that come from? That we need to pray to Mama Mary and the Saints for intercession? That's a command from men, not from God. That's why Jesus was angry with the scribes and pharisees because they imposed commands that are not of God.
Jesus is our intercessor to the Father..only Him alone and no else..and He made that clear to evryone when He said. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
If you would say that we need and intercessor to Jesus..Sister, there is nothing written in the Bible that says that we need to pray to Saints to get to Jesus..not even to Mama Mary..because His blood that was shed on the calvary is enough to wash away your sins..all you have to do is repent and pray to God..that's it!Don't be deceived!
@@mikeygarcia8271 We honour Mary we do not worship her
Worship is: sacrifice. Not! Singing and praying; we pray and sing to Mary; We don’t sacrifice.
Why it is important to pray to Mother Mary to be intercessor (ask Jesus on our behalf) of our prayers.
Jesus cannot say no to his Mother.
Example: When Jesus and his mother were at the wedding at Cana and the wedding people ran out of wine, Mary approached Jesus and said “Son they have run out of wine” and Jesus replied, "Woman, what has this to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother then said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you" (John 2:3-5). Jesus ordered the servants to fill containers with water and to draw out some and take it to the chief steward waiter. After tasting it, without knowing where it came from, the steward remarked to the bridegroom that he had departed from the custom of serving the best wine first by serving it last (John 2:6-10). John adds that: "Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him" (John 2:11).
Basically; even though Jesus was reluctant to do what he was asked, he went ahead and did what his mother asked of him anyway, therefore, his weakness is his mother’s request; Mary asked for Jesus to perform a miracle on behalf of the bridal party and he did it. So if Mary asks Jesus for something on our behalf, do you think he will deny her? He might say no at first but! He’ll give in to her.
He might say no to us, but! He won’t, not do, what his mother asks of him, therefore; just ask Mary (his mother) to ask him our behalf and it will be granted.
Aramaic (the language spoken by Jesus and his apostles,) had no word for “cousin,” so cousins and other close relatives were often referred to as brothers.
The brothers and sisters that they said were actually Jesus' cousins by Joseph's brother (Clopas) . you will notice on the cross Jesus gave his mother to John to care for as his own mother. “Don't you think if she had other children they would have taken care of her” He would have had surviving siblings who would have taken care of her. It would be surprising for Jesus to release his brothers from their obligation to their mother, especially because he criticized the Pharisees for neglecting the support of their own parents in Matthew 15:3-6.
The New Testament does not say that Elizabeth is Mary’s cousin, the Greek word for which is anepsios. The word used in Luke 1:36 to describe Elizabeth is suggenes (pronounced su-gen-ace), which simply means kinswoman or relative. It tells us nothing about her exact relation within the extended family. All we can tell from the word suggenes is that Elizabeth was some kind of female relative of Mary’s. But whether she was an aunt, a cousin, or a more distant relation cannot be determined from the word.
Oh and Mary was a common name, so guess what, her sister in law had the same first name.
John 19:25 New International Version (NIV)
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister Mary, the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
Mary was dedicated before her birth to serve the Lord in the temple, as Samuel had been dedicated by his mother (1 Sam. 1:11). This required perpetual virginity of Mary so that she could completely devote herself to the service of the Lord.
Joseph was a male protector who would respect her vow of virginity. When Mary conceived, Joseph had to answer to the temple authorities. So Mary’s betrothal to Joseph was not in conflict with her vow of virginity.
When the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son, Mary asks, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” (Luke 1:34). At this point, Mary was engaged to Joseph. Why would she then be so surprised at being told she would conceive? If she were planning on having children with Joseph in the usual way, it wouldn’t make sense for her to ask how she would be able to have a child. This question makes sense only if Mary was already planning to remain a virgin.
The firstborn was to be consecrated to the Lord (Ex. 13:2); the parents were to redeem every firstborn son (Ex. 34:20). They weren’t supposed to wait until they had a second child to redeem the firstborn, and so the first son born to a woman was called the firstborn regardless of whether or not she had other children later on.
Mary’s perpetual virginity demonstrates her purity of heart and total love for God.
Mary’s virginity was “so great an example of material virtue” because it demonstrated her total devotion to Jesus. In Mary, we see an example of the purity our own hearts must have in total dedication to God. Her virginity also tells us something about the Church, which, like Mary, is both mother to the faithful and “pure bride to her one husband” (2 Cor. 11:2).
Matthew 1:24-25
Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
That doesn't mean that they consumated the marriage after the birth.
This is used to emphasize what is being described before the until is fulfilled. It is not intended to say anything about the future beyond that point. Here are some biblical examples:
2 Samuel 6:23: And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to (until) the day of her death. (Does this mean she had children after she died?)
1 Corinthians 15:25: For he (Christ) must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. (Does this mean Christ’s reign will end? By no means! Luke 1:33 says, “he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”)
When Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until (Gk. heos hou) I could send him to Caesar.”
Does this text mean that Paul would not be held in custody once he was “sent” to Caesar? Not according to the biblical record. He would be held in custody while in transit (see Acts 27:1) and after he arrived in Rome for a time (see Acts 29:16). The action of the main clause did not cease with heos hou.
Proof the words Hail Mary were in the Bible.
The first two passages from Saint Luke’s gospel is greeting of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, originally written in Koine Greek. The opening word of greeting хaĩpɛ , chaíre, here translated “Hail”, literally has the meaning “rejoice or be glad”. This was the normal greeting in the language in which Saint Luke’s gospel is written and continues to be used in the same sense in Modern Greek. Accordingly both “Hail and Rejoice” are valid English translations of the word (“Hail” reflecting the Latin translation and “Rejoice” reflecting the original Greek).
The Hail Mary prayer is Biblical
Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee (Luke 1:28) хaĩpɛ , chaíre, here translated “Hail”, literally has the meaning “rejoice or be glad” so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’
Blessed out though among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. (Nod in reverence to the name). (Luke 1: 42) She gave a loud cry and said, 'Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Holy Mary, mother of God pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. (we are asking the Mother of Jesus/God to pray for us) it’s ok to pray to Mother Mary and the saints because they are alive in heaven. (not dead).
God Has no problems with the repetition of the Rosary
In Revelations 4:8
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings.
Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come.”
Luke 18:1-8 (Jesus tells us to pray continually)
1 Then he told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart.
2 'There was a judge in a certain town,' he said, 'who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone.
3 In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, "I want justice from you against my enemy!"
4 For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, "Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person,
5 I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face." '
6 And the Lord said, 'You notice what the unjust judge has to say?
7 Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them?
8 I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?'
Sister, why Are you worshipping Mary? She is not God. Worship only God. Why are you kneeling down with two knees when praying to graven images in the church? God never instructed that we make graven images of anything whether in heaven or here on earth..that is in the 10 commandments handed down to Moses in Mt. Sinai. God instructed us to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. How can you do so if you have these graven images who don't even resemble the real face of God? In truth and in Spirit --that is how God wants to be worshipped. You are following man made rules, not God's rules.
Thankyou Scott as I was abit confused as I also couldn’t find about Mary.
Brilliantly said in language I can understand ...
Thanks brother from a grateful Australian

The assumption story is beautiful.
I am soo blessed listening to DR Scott. . .you are truly a disciple of Lord Jesus . Thank you God bless
No He's not. He's mis leading people into idol worship of Mary. She was only a vessel of God so the 'Word' will become flesh, Jesus Christ. Never was mentioned Jesus saying Mother to Mary but a plain 'woman..' because Jesus knows Himself, the Only Begotten Son of the Father in Heaven. There is no co-savior, no co-mediatrix, no co-redemptrix... But only Jesus is the Saviour, Mediator bet God and man, and Redeemer by His Blood on the cross and his Resurrection. Dr.Scott is telling another gospel apart from The Gospel or Good news of Salvation through Jesus, which Apostle Paul warns seriously not to follow but if any teacher tells about this other gospel let him be accursed...
Love Scott Haghn .
His teachings are the BEST !!
God sure works in mystery ways for HIS GREATER GLORY , of which HE worked through Scott Haghn as a convert to the One True Church , Our Catholic Church, for HIS GREATER GLORY bringing in more converts , then helping Catholics to become STRONGER , within our studies for a “FULL FILLMENT”, of Studies understanding for FAITHS LOVE OF GOD, and OUR HOLY BLESSED MOTHER OF GOD ,,, FATHER, SON , HOLY SPIRIT. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

What a great video…. Super helpful.. Paul
I'm stunned what a speech from Dr Scott!! it's a bless to listen such a case for our Holy Mother Mary!! May God bless you'll for spreading out such treasures.
Jesus indeed is the eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. What does that mean? It means you don't need anyone to intercede for you, Jesus is our eternal High Priest who intercedes for us to the Father. Thus, " Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Him." Not the apostles, not Mama Mary, only Jesus can intercede for us so that in His name, we can boldly come into the throne of God, and ask for mercy, petitions, and blessings.
🤢🤮
The problem is Mary didn't die for our sins and there is no reason to worship her.
@@sammygomes7381 True! She also didn't remain a virgin because Joseph knew his wife after the birth of Christ. Secondly, God's Word says Christ was her "first" born son, not her only son.
Mary and Joseph had children, which shows Christ was the Oldest and lived with the younger children of Mary and Joseph's biological children. They are named and called hus brothers and sisters.

Dr Scott Hahn in himself is a tremendous gift by God but most preciously a gift for the Catholic Church as well. God before creation like any other calling from God called Scott to be His servant like St Paul to defend the teachings of the one True Church without fear no matter what.
Stdudying his Christian upbringing outside the Catholic Church; he was prepared by God for this work until he is called back home. There are uncountable Catholic teachings that Catholics themselves need to understand and Dr Scott is doing just that with some priests, deacons and many converts we see on you tube videos; like Sacraments, Mary, Eucharist, the Bible and Church Authority to preach .......... etc etc.
Even though we have the Catechism which provides detailed clarifications for such; however, we need talks and presentations like these explain these in simple talks and language. So, thank you Dr Scott Hahn. God bless and give you courage to publicly speak without fear for the sake of His Church - His Mystical Body.
Jesus established his church with the apostles. They were born again Christians n they died as Christians. Jesus did not start another church known as the rcc

>>>FACT: I have asked OVER 100 supposed experts on Catholicism to reply to those questions.
All I have received are out of context quotes, told to watch this or that video, or no reply at all!!!
Will you answer them???? At least the first 5 basic questions FROM THE BIBLE.

BIBLE PROPHECY ROME DESTROYED
If the Catholic religion iS the one Jesus taught, then why is it called the "Apostate church"? Why will it be destroyed?
Wow that was good. I was afflicted with the same thing but now I can come to accept it. And funny thing is I saw a beautiful statue of Mary at the store n bought it n it had a lovely flower sent to it n I kept asking others do u smell it n from there she brought me back to God. And of course no need for my statue worships anymore but I worship in the spirit of God but the statues are beautiful n it’s a reminder to me to get with God. My visual Bible 😊📖. Then from God he brought me the Word.
I just hope you only worship God in Spirit and truth, and not be reminded by statues or images that might lead you to idol worship of Mary which must not be. You might only appreciate the beauty of her statue and not worship God. The Word of God or the Bible is the only source of True Worship, you cannot find it in anything else. David said, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, and a light to my path."
Jesus said, "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:23-24, ESV)
@@angeltanedojr8753 Amen. Praise be to God
@@angeltanedojr8753 I’m pretty sure everyone knows that lol 😂
@@Califaz-vm4wg nope. If everyone knows it, then there would have been no protest happened in the church. History showed that pagan worship of Rome was incorporated into Christianity and Rome called it Catholicism. The Bible tells since the old testament to break and destroy those idols of pagan gods, but since Rome was the superpower then, their worship practice was incorporated into then emerging Christian religion of the apostles of Jesus Christ, and later called it Catholic church that means Universal church. The Spirit of God has told his elect throughout the age to break away from this system and Worship God in Spirit and in Truth thru Jesus Christ only and not by statues and idols made by human hands.
That was powerful. God bless, Dr. Hahn.
Dr Scott hahn is a God sent. God bless him, and everyone here.
Dr Hahn is devil sent to deceive you with false teaching
Kevin Mifsud
Dr Scott is god sent?

To deceive us into adoring a long DEAD human mother of Our Lord GOD, JESUS CHRIST!!!!*
@@billy1132 So are the 100 more EX PROTESTANT PASTORS I guess right? Like Tim Staples Steve Ray, Marcus Grodi etc etc. God bless you.
Wil , I have been saying that for months . The whole Catholic church is being taught lies by church fathers . They never read what the word of God says and when they do it they give the wrong interpretation and insert their on thinking which is inspired by the devil
@@donaldcooley897 HUMBLE YOURSELF like these Men did, for your Soul is much more important than PRIDE. GOD BLESS.
Dr.Scott Hahn, truly you are God's chosen one from Abba Father for the catholic church, i am very sure that our Blessed mother Mary is so happy with you and of course the Trinity God is so excited about you. Good Lord Jesus bless you and your family. In Jesus name Amen
Mary worship is demonic
The brutal tortured body of Jesus hanging on the cross, His Father putting all sin of all people, for past present and future sin on Him , saying in His agony, last words before dying to His disciples " Behold your Mother" It's meaning is so great!
This is a total misappropriation of this scripture. He was stating that to John personally so that she was looked after in her old age.
Proud of You Dr. SCOTT
