My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
❤ Amen

While you invented she has no sin. That's not cited anywhere that she never sinned or had no sin, so you made it up. On the other hand, Mary says God is her Savior:
*46 And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,*
*47 And my spirit has rejoiced **_in God my Savior._*_ -- Luke 1:46-47_
So Mary says you are wrong and that she needed to be saved from sin by a Savior. And Romans says Mary sinned because _ALL_ have sinned, all includes Mary, with no exclusions.
*23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,* _-- Romans 3:23_

Thank you for this wonderful commentary! It's such a blessing when evangelicals convert to Catholicism and share thier knowledge. It brings a clear perspective to some of our other protestant brethren's criticism and questions on important teachings of the Catholic Church. I love how you brought up the difference of our petition to saints to pray for us (ora pro nobis) vs whenever we address Jesus, the Father, or the Holy Spirit to have mercy on us ( Miserere Nobis);.
Prayer is “asking”, not worship that’s why we CAN pray for each other. The Church Triumphant is MORE ALIVE than any of us on Earth.
Prayer is “asking”, not worship that’s why we CAN pray for each other.''
You're confused, JR. There's a difference between me praying for you and me praying TO YOU. Romanists don't pray FOR MARY, they PRAY TO MARY. All human beings, whether pagan or Christian only pray to someone they either believe to be god or someone they worship as god. There are no exceptions.
Thank You, very relevant comment. And I noticed it : "Prayer is “asking”, not worship that’s why we CAN pray for each other. The Church Triumphant is MORE ALIVE than any of us on Earth."

@@danielcristancho3524 D)Back to your distinction “pray “to” Mary”, is often said, but not meant that way. It’s actually “through” Mary. We ask the saints in Heaven, and obviously, the Mother of our Lord is there, to pray for us, but through their intercession. It has always been taught that the members of the church always pray for each other whether alive on Earth or alive in Heaven. It’s a spiritual form of CHARITY.
Mary is the greatest human saint. She was made, especially for the Son. God, Who is perfect, cannot physically dwell in a sinful vessel/person so she was exempt from Original Sin of the Fall of humanity, and lived that way until her death. If you read in Exodus the Ark of the Covenant prefigures Mary, where God dwelt. The show bread that was Holy, and the manna pre-figures Christ, the Bread from Heaven (Bethlehem means House of Bread); the manna was to nourish the Israelites. Jesus as the Eucharistic Bread is to nourish us spiritually in the soul.
(That’s why Catholics have to go to confession to confess mortal sin before receiving the Eucharist (the 10 Commandments and sins against charity and purity, or even habitual venial sins- if one can’t get out of the habit; there’s a problem, and needs to be worked on more intensely as it can morph to mortal sin). God who dwells physically for a short time after consumption without the stain of sin.)

@martinmartin 1363 You are correct about Adam and Eve , but you lack very much understanding that Jesus was born 100 % of Mary's body that is totally false she was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit no sperm from a natural man was involved . Jesus was formed in the womb its in the her body but not of her body big difference .Yes every Baby that is born has a mother and a father , but the sperm of the father is involved . It seems you catholics practice a emotional assumptive faith that is far from the biblical truth . The carnal mind can't understand the spiritual things of God .

Thank you very, very much. I consider these words of yours to be a clear answer to prayer. God bless.
Some people are so worried that loving the mother of God will somehow detract from Jesus. Not only does it not detract from Jesus, but it glorifies him. After all, who made the Blessed Virgin Mary so great? Her son! Does an artist get upset when one admires his work of art? And believe me, we could never outdo Him when it comes to loving and honoring her.

@@TriciaPerry-mz7tc Sounds like you’re upset that the Steelers traded Kenny Picket. 🤷🏻♂️
Great observation. Its like a growing family. As the family grows, the amount of love in the family doesn't subtract, it multiplies.
The title Mother of God is not to say Mary is the Mother of the Trinity. It is to reinforce the reality of Christs divinity. Mary is the mother of God the Son, in that Christ was God incarnate in human flesh from the moment of his conception. To say otherwise is to deny Christs divinity, which then calls all of salvation history into question.
As for the Blessed Mothers being conceived without sin, this is due entirely to who she gave birth too. By the merits of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, Mary was preserved from original and personal sin so that she could bear God the Son within her. She is the new Ark of the Covenant, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, holding within her the True Bread of heaven (the Ark of the OT had manna, bread from heaven) the Word of God made flesh (OT Ark held the word of God engraved in Stone) and the High Priest of the New Covenant (OT Ark held the staff of Aaron, which was dead but became alive again, sprouting and bearing fruit).
Hope this clarifies a bit of where the Church Fathers were coming from, and can point you towards learning more about the logic behind it.
@@markwelch9250Exactly!
Her soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46-55)! Think of what that means for just a moment.

Amen, powerful truth to meditate upon.
Yes that's why Mary always leads us to her son Jesus - she doesn't claim any glory for herself.
that line is a hint that we should pray and that she will help us through Christ her son. Same as the moon under feet. The moon reflects the suns source of light.

Without Mary, we would not have Jesus - as that was God’s will❤
without Mary you don't into heaven:
St. Thomas Aquinas writes, "Mary is the whole hope of our salvation,” and "Through the intercession of Mary any souls are in Paradise who would not be there had she not interceded for them, for God has entrusted her with the keys and treasures of the heavenly kingdom.”
St. Gregory Palamas: “No divine gift can reach either angels or men, save through her mediation. As one cannot enjoy the light of a lamp … save through the medium of this lamp, so every movement towards God, every impulse towards good coming from Him is unrealizable save through the mediation of the Virgin. She does not cease to spread benefits on all creatures….”
Theophanes of Nicaea: “[Mary] is the dispenser and distributor of all the wondrous uncreated gifts of the divine Spirit, which make us Christ’s brothers and co-heirs, not only because she is granting the gifts of her natural Son to His brothers in grace, but also because she is bestowing them on these as her own true sons, though not by ties of nature but of grace.”

@Justas399 that is poetic language. A more precise explanation of Catholic catechesis on Mary's role in salvation is found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It's free to access online and has a index of subjects for easy reference.
@@patricktinley6545 that is not poetic language but a false claim about Mary your church supports.
All the Protestants I know are first to point out that when a "saved" person dies, they are immediately alive in Heaven. Yet, somehow according to the same Protestants, all the saints are dead. Also, I would argue that when we pray to Mary and the saints, we are implicitly recognizing and praising God directly by recognizing God, specifically Christ himself, within and through the lives and works of those saints. Recognizing God in others is how we are able to see God manifest in the world. The miracles associated with the saints are a sign of their closeness to God, and we remember them and their works of mercy as fruits of their faith and cooperation with God's grace and will. So, when we commune with the saints, we glorify God along with that saint we are praying with. So, in actuality, when we pray to a saint, we are actually praying with the saint in communion together praying to God.
This goes to show that some people don't believe in the afterlife, even Christians. To cleave the body of Christ in half and think only those amidst our five senses on earth are those of cognizance and capability of intercessory prayer, to write them off, shows they don't think there is life after death. They unconsciously accept a materialist reductionist view of Enlightenment era metaphysics.
_All the Protestants I know are first to point out that when a "saved" person dies, they are immediately alive in Heaven. Yet, somehow according to the same Protestants, all the saints are dead._
Alive in Heaven does not mean they are up there receiving prayers or able to receive prayers. And 1 Thessalonians says they are dead.
*16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. **_And the dead in Christ_** will rise first.* _-- 1 Thessalonians 4:16_
That's where Mary is, dead in Christ, or as it's said, "asleep". But Catholics make up that Mary, or the false claim of "saints", answers prayers when there is nothing that supports that in scripture. There is no special designation of being a "saint". That's just something the Catholic church made up too. All believers in Christ are saints.
@@RaiderWolf-yd6nm Unless you take all of the Book of Revelation to be metaphor, then yes those of them in Christ can hear us because the Spirit returns to God at death, and to be with God is to be in an atemporal state which we can reasonable surmise to have nothing less than supernatural perception. (Rev. 6:9-11, 7:13-14, 11: 15-18, 16:5-6, 18:20.) Hebrews 12:1. Christ is the vine, we are the branches, thus we are all inextricably connected, therefore pray with/for/to one another.
@@RaiderWolf-yd6nm The context of "dead in Christ" is referring to the resurrection of those asleep with new glorified bodies. Before then, those who have fallen asleep in Christ are more alive than you or me as spiritual beings like the angels, joined to Christ more truly and fully than we could hope to be while on Earth. God is of the living, not the dead. "Saint" is not a made-up designation. It is just a translation which means "holy". Of course, all believers in Christ are "saints". The term, however, is simply used to mark a person who has visibly manifested Christ in their mission to others in their works and verified by their fruits. The term marks them as worthy of example and reflection of how Christ shows himself to others in this world through true believers. Their faith is justified by their fruits and acknowledged by the Pilgrim Church still on Earth that we too may be Christ manifest to others in our cooperation with His divine will and grace. If you are not a reflection of Christ in your life and works, then you are still far from being a true believer. "You will know them by their fruits," correct? If you bear no fruit in your life, of what use was your faith? You would be like the fig tree that Jesus cursed for not bearing fruit. You would be like the servant in the parable that buried his talents and then was beaten by his master for not producing at least something with them. Some people manifest more visible fruit than others because they are entrusted to a particular mission by Christ. We cannot know who these people are until the Church has examined their lives and their fruits, and sometimes they are recognized as "saint" but not to the discredit of everyone else who is a true believer in the eyes of Christ. These designated "saints" are simply set apart from the whole, which is what "holy" means, that we may recognize Christ working through these "saints" for the sake of a holy mission. All of us are called to do the same. Some just happen to be chosen for a particular mission which often results in great tests of faith throughout the course of their lives. Through these tests fruits are born through works carried out by faith despite the trials having to be endured. The practice of designating saints is not uniquely Roman Catholic. This is a practice shared by all Apostolic traditions including the Orthodox, Armenians, Coptic, Assyrians, etc. We share these because we were for a relatively brief time in the earliest days of the Church, one holy and Apostolic Church founded directly by the Apostles and taught "The Way" before The Bible was even finished being written. Even after we parted ways from each other, we have maintained the same practices as taught to us by the Apostles all independently and unchanging throughout the entire Church history. Protestants are unfortunately clouded by a long tradition of anti-Catholic propaganda since the Reformation. In that case, look passed the Roman Church and look to the other Apostolic Churches, especially the ones that did not have any ties to the Roman Empire. You will see a much richer faith and tradition more perfectly aligned with Apostolic teaching than what you have been led to believe which is more anti-Catholic than it is Christian as taught by Christ and the Apostles. God bless you.
Those dead in Christ are not complete because their inner man is separate from their body, and will remain so until the resurrection when they receive a new, glorified body like that of the resurrected Christ. Until that time, their spirits remain with Christ in heaven.
There is nothing in scripture that teaches that the dead in Christ are aware of what is going on here, or that they may be contacted by any human on earth.

Thank you so much for your comments on the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was pointed out that Elizabeth's proclamation is directly related to the two old testament women who killed enemies of the Jewish people, both involved the head.

From you who shows to the contrary, besides the made up "protestantism" ad homimen, it's Catholicism that doesn't understand woman in the biblical context. It could have been said of any woman, as you indicated and is not a special term used for Mary, and so means nothing about mary being special.

Luke 1 38 Mary responds "Behold, I am the handmaid of the lord. May it be done according to your word". As a Protestant, using the Protestant bible, that statement makes no sense, since the Protestant bible does not explain what a handmaid is. Enter the Catholic Church, who had no need to remove books because of some disordered reason. In the book of Judith in the real bible, chapter 11 verse 17, Judith replies "the handmaid is indeed, a God fearing woman serving the God of heaven night and day". Mary would have perfected that , and thus to say that Mary was a sinner, makes absolutely no sense. It also makes sense based on that statement, that she probably never had to go through the process of dying and judgement as we would understand it. In fact, the bible gets even more Catholic than that. Other responses from the handmaid of the lord. "but now that you are a devout woman pray for us", or "whatever is pleasing to him I will promptly do. This will be a joy for me until the day of my death." "the lord struck him down by the hand of a female". It gets better "blessed are you, daughter, by the most high God, above all the women on earth." "may God make this redound to your everlasting honor" "Judith 15 "you are the glory of Jerusalem, the great pride of Israel,... and the lord is pleased with you". I could go on forever.

They always say, we worship Mary. We don’t worship and we can’t worship Mary, because there’s only one God.That is idolatry if we worship anybody else but God. We talk to Mary, we asked for her prayer and help in this valley of tears. We seek guidance from her, on how to be a good child of God. To change ourselves to make God happy because we love God. Isn’t that the first commandment anyways is to love our God with our whole heart and soul?
Part of the issue is that Protestants don’t really “worship”in a manner that corresponds to what that word in the Bible meant - ie worship involves a sacrifice. Catholics worship in the mass and only fast or make reparations to our Lord. But Protestants think praying and singing is worship.
Here is a prayer of worship of Mary by a doctor of the rcc:
“Prayer of St. Alphonsus Ligouri to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Most holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary, to thee who art the Mother of my Lord, the Queen of the universe, the advocate, the hope, the refuge of sinners, I who am the most miserable of all sinners, have recourse this day. I worship thee, great Queen, and I thank thee for the many graces thou hast bestowed upon me even unto this day; in particular for having delivered me from the hell which I have so often deserved by my sins. I love thee, most dear Lady, and for the love I bear thee, I promise to serve thee willingly forever and to do what I can to make thee loved by others also. I place in thee all my hopes for salvation; accept me as thy servant and shelter me under thy mantle, thou who art the Mother of mercy. And since thou art so powerful with God, deliver me from all temptations, or at least get me the strength to overcome them until death. From thee I implore a true love for Jesus Christ. Through thee I hope to die a holy death. My dear Mother, by the love thou bearest to Almighty God. I pray thee to assist me always, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Forsake me not then, until thou shalt see me safe in Heaven, there to bless thee and sing of thy mercies through all eternity. Such is my hope. Amen.”

Hello Hugh, I'm a neophyte, I was recently baptized last Easter into the Catholic Church and I have been struggling to expand my comprehension of proper exegesis regarding sacred tradition and scripture which is what brought me here. Your content is quite approachable and solid. I find myself rejuvenated and assured more and more with the added understanding you've made available to me. Especially since you provide context to our traditions and let alone scripture to reference to its fullness. I have been mocked and misconstrued repeatedly by protestants for my faith and its always just "SCRIPTURE! SCRIPTURE! SCRIPTURE!" or some other polemic dogma or accusation to repeat; condemning me as some sort of pagan loony, its quite tiring. Hopefully more people learn the fullness of the truth and put and end to it. Anyways, I'm intending on joining seminary to become a priest this following year and I'm glad to have what you've provided on my journey of understanding and would easily recommend your videos to a convert or neophyte as I. God bless you Hugh, Thank you. And peace be within your heart.
God bless you on your journey. You willing attitude to learn the truth and recognition of the problems with some Protestant theology and their inability to find the truth in the church because of their insistence that scripture is all that they need, will mean that as a priest you will be a real blessing to the church.

Catholics are taught to worship and adore only God.
We may have a devotion to the Blessed Mother, but we only worship and adore God.
Mary is beloved Daughter of the Father, Bride of The Holy Spirit, and Mother of The Son. She has a singular and universal calling.
In the book of Kings, when King David held court it is written that when the subjects wanted to petition the king, but considered that he would deny their petition, they would request that the Queen would petition on their behalf. It was well regarded that the King would not refuse his Queen. Since David had many wives it was the Queen Mother, his mom, who sat by his side! King David set the precedent of never refusing his mom any public requests, that’s probably why The Lord changed the water into wine, at the wedding feast at Cana, upon his mother’s request. That’s why Catholics trust to petition the Queen Mother of heaven to intercede for us! We know she has God’s ear and that His Favor rests in her. She has her Father’s ear, she has her Heavenly Spouse’s ear, She has her Beloved Son’s ear!
Please know that Catholics do not speak to the dead, we petition the Saints to pray for us, same as we ask fellow believers to pray for us. We trust that The Saints are truly more alive than we are! And they are our friends! Through the saving power of Jesus Christ we’re looking forward to spending eternity with G❤️D and with our friends!
''We may have a devotion to the Blessed Mother, but we only worship and adore God.''
If you pray to Mary, you worship Mary or you believe her to be Divine. That's a universal truism in humanity, whether pagan or Christian, we only pray to those we believe to be a God or those we worship.
For everyone disrespecting Mary i will oray this prayer for you.
Oh my Jesus forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of thy mercy Amen
This prayer was given to the children in fatima by the blessed mother Mary. Catholics combined worldwide say this prayer millions of times a day for you and for everyone.
JESUS forgives many sins but they who outrage neglect insult or even simply don't love his blessed mother as without her he would never have been born and no salvation as the son of GOD would never have come to us except through MARY. MARY is without sin she was subject to all the visatudes of life but at all times remained IMMACULATE how can anyone who has said MARY was a sinner escape the fury of her son at judgment day it's impossible JESUS WILL LET HIS FULL ANGER FALL UPON THIS MISERABLE WRETCH
No one is disrespecting Mary, it’s the Catholics disrespecting Lord Jesus by giving more importance on Mary than Jesus.
@@halo1403 How can lying about Mary, like Catholicism does, be loving her? And making up sins, that it's a sin to not lie that Mary needs to love His mother, that's actually a sin you are committing.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
Cardinal Newman, a convert on the Immaculate Conception:
1.Does not the objector consider that Eve was created, or born, without original sin? Why does not this shock him? Would he have been inclined to honour Eve in that first estate of hers? Why, then, Mary?
2. Does he not believe that St. John Baptist had the grace of God-i.e., was regenerated, even before his birth? What do we believe of Mary, but that grace was given her at a still earlier period? All we say is, that grace was given her from the first moment of her existence.
3. We do not say that she did not owe her salvation to the death of her Son. Just the contrary, we say that she, of all mere children of Adam, is in the truest sense the fruit and the purchase of His Passion. He has done for her more than for anyone else. To others He gives grace and regeneration at a point in their earthly existence; to her, from the very beginning.
We do not make her nature different from others. Though, as St. Austin says, we do not like to name her in the same breath with mention of sin, yet, certainly she would have been a frail being, like Eve, without the grace of God. A more abundant gift of grace made her what she was from the first. It was not her nature which secured her perseverance, but the excess of grace which hindered Nature acting as Nature ever will act.
No other child could go into the sanctuary of Mary's womb...After bearing the Son of God....

16:07 what's the verse you're referring to where another Mary is the mother of James and Joseph? I'm a Protestant but I've always thought Mary remaining a virgin was the most plausible of the RCC Marian dogmas, I'd love to look into this some more
“Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. (Mark 15:40).
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (John 19:25).
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons. (Matthew 27:56)
There were 3 Mary's present at the crucifixion of Jesus. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph and Mary the mother of Jesus. God Bless!

Sure there were several women named Mary, it was a common name. But Mary, the mother of Jesus, is also mother to several half brothers and sisters by Joseph. She did not remain a virgin. She married Joseph, so she had children after Jesus. James was a brother of Jesus, the one who wrote the book of James. So was Jude, of the book of Jude _(Jude also went by the name of Judas)._ And it lists some of his brothers, plus that he had sisters, who were children born to Mary the mother of Jesus.
*3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.* _-- Mark 6:3_
And also Paul said James is "the Lord's brother".
*18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.*
*19 I saw none of the other apostles- **_only James, the Lord’s brother._*_ -- Galatians 1:18-19_
And then Jude says he is James' brother, which makes him Jesus' half brother.
*1 Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ **_and brother of James,_*_ -- Jude 1:1_
It's not plausible. Culturally a married woman who attempted to remain virgin could be divorced. One passage mentions Mary's other Children and is part of an attack on Christ by religious authorities.
Even if the intercession of the saints is not doctrinally declared more efficacious than my intercession for you, or yours for me, it is still well understood that it is. As Christians (Catholics) we understand that we are children of the Kingdom of Christ and that, like an earthly kingdom-- all of which are patterned off of the heavenly kingdom, there is a hierarchy of influence, and that, if fact, the influence of the queen mother, Our Lady, over her son, Our Lord, is vastly greater than mine is, for example, or yours. She is the most powerful advocate on our behalf, especially in spiritual warfare. She is the woman who will crush the serpent's head, mentioned in Genesis.
The Biblical evidence is present. The prayer of a righteous and pure Christian is more powerful than prayers by Christians in sin. No Christian except those in heaven are in a state of perfect righteousness.
Psalm 66:18 KJV - 18 *If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]:*
James 5:16 KJV - 16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. *The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.*
We ALL have to read and learn who is JESUS CHRIST actually. Not what we think about Him, but WHO is He really and what He demands to us.
Why wouldn’t I ask the one human who loved Jesus best to help me love Him and be like Him? Common sense really if we are all alive in Christ (which is scriptural).
Actually for a long time I struggled with Mary and asked God to grant me a love for her. Boy He didn’t disappoint. And she in turn has helped bring me closer to Him. Win win!!!
Only those who have experienced what you describe can appreciate Mary’s role. She always leads those devoted to her, closer to Jesus in addition to developing our spirituality & insight.

Mary is the Mother of God, not according to any man-made doctrines, but according to the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:43).
Mary is not Eternally Begotten and is not part of the Holy Trinity. Yet, God found favor with her and she is proclaimed "full of Grace." Because in everything God works for good in those who love him and Mary was called according to Gods purpose. For He foreknew her and predestined her to be the Mother of God. And we can be certain that He justified her and glorified her. This is why Mary, the Mother of God, can proclaim to us "God My Savior." St. Paul tells us in Galatians 1:15 that he was chosen by God before he was born to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. And so was Mary, the Mother of God, chosen before the foundation of the world to be the Mother of God. On behalf of her Nation Israel and therefore on behalf of the whole world, Marys fiat was heard on earth and in heaven.

Not many people know that. Mary guards the Hypostatic Union.
I have had my struggles in accepting Mary as the Church understands her role in salvation history.
I realized theologically what the church believed and taught such as the queen mother as found in the Old Testament and all the other doctrines, but what really turned me was when I realized that she is forevermore our Lord’s mother. I knew then that she would hold an even higher place of honor than even the apostles.
I know that for many that sounds outrageous and completely unbiblical, yet it is a reality. She is now and forever will be his mother. She did not give him his divinity, but she gave him his flesh and she bore him, raised him and nourished him. I’m sure that our Lord honors the commandment to honor thy mother. And that seat of honor is hers and hers only.

What more is there to say? Because of you the light of the only-begotten Son of God has shone upon those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death; prophets pronounced the word of God; the apostles preached salvation to the Gentiles; the dead are raised to life, and kings rule by the power of the holy Trinity.

Excellent! Protestantism doesn’t get it & they don’t know what they don’t know! Sad, their loss!
Acknowledging Mary as the mother of Jesus is not a problem for any Christian. The Roman Catholic overreach on the matter is a serious problem. IN essence, protest though they will, they raise Mary to the level of at least a Demigod, of not outright divine. Much of what is attributed to her is possible only of she has been raised to something near the level of the Divine.
Scripture states that she would be honored as the mother of Jesus, but it does not show her as anything other than a normal human, in need of a savior herself.
@@user-hw5pd1mv9bWe respect & honour her very special role in salvation history, whilst many Protestants are disrespectful of her & insult her son with their indifferent treatment of her.
If you reject that Mary is the mother of God, you effectively deny His divinity, hence the heresy of Nestorianism!
@@geoffjs That is hardly the case. Making Mary the mother of God is an impossibility. God has no beginning, and no end. The term "Theotokos" adequately covers what the situation is. She was the "God bearer." That does not make her the mother of God, nor does it deny Christ's divinity.
You are simply trying to warp the facts to fit into the mold you wish to fill.
@@geoffjs My husband, who was 51 years a protestant, but converted a year ago ALWAYS says that..."you don't know and can't love what you don't know."!
I would give a response to a comment : Many invent new theologies at their owns. But, the discovery of the person of Jesus is not to have a personal opinion about Him. But to unterstand who is He really. And that is only possible when we listen whoses have known Christ personally. And the teachings of de Saints since 20 centuries.
Watching all the Prots lose their ever-living minds tells you all you need to know. Judge not lrst you be judged. They have no right to judge Catholucs, but here we are.
_Watching all the Prots lose their ever-living minds tells you all you need to know._
You mean all the _CHRISTIANS_ lose their ever-living minds because of Catholic lies is all you need to know how evil Catholicism is. If you cared about lies as much as Christians do, you'd be losing your ever-living mind too!
Pay attention : a SAINT who lived on earth is a SOUL and not a Spirit!! Please pay attention: A SAINT is a soul who is already with the Father. We can therefore perfectly venerate him and ask for his intercession for us! We have ONE Savior, okay. But many, many intercessors: the Saints of the Church.
Good explanation, but the Protesters still illogically object!
@@geoffjs hello, the christian history shows to us that, often, to who is seeking for the Truth, few words is sufficient to him to get it. And to who is looking for himself nothing is sufficient to convice him/her. God bless You and yours !

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (JOHN 14.1-7)
I’m no longer Catholic. But I am a true believer.
In my journey, I’ve belonged to Baptist churches who tried the old “Catholics pray to Mary”…and that simply isn’t true (some may, but it’s their own personal devotion).
The baptists would condemn requesting intercession from Mary, and then put together a “prayer chain” to pray for each other. - I never really understood how they made this decision. The only time that Jesus did a miracle when it “wasn’t his time” was the marriage at Cana, when he obeyed Mary, and did a miracle anyway.
Catholics pray to Mary. Speaking or inquiring with the dead, which Mary is, because she is not deity, is strictly forbidden as in Deuteronomy 18:11. God alone has the knowledge and power to answer prayers. Jesus is God, so you can pray through the Son to the Father, as they are one. This is not saying Mary wasn't special or chosen by God for this blessing, but in the end, she is still a dead woman in heaven and not deity.
Mary, who led a sinless life was assumed into heaven, like Elisha & Elijah, where she is Queen (type of Esther) & the woman of Rev 12. Mary, like the saints, is very much alive, can intercede on our behalf & acts as her son’s messenger at various apparition sites such as Fatima, Lourdes, Akita etc which I challenge you to research as the messages are urgent pleas from Jesus for humanity to repent & turn away from sin. You’re missing great spiritual value if you reject His mother, which at the very least is disrespectful!
Matt 7:21-23 “…And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.” Ignore and downplay Mary at your own risk
Revelation 12:1 A woman dressed with the son whith the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of 12 starts.
Also in Revelation a woman will crash the head of the serpent.
Jesus Christ called His mother woman for a reason.
@@mariamartins5796the reason is because she was a woman.
Also, the woman in Rev 12 is a vision of Israel. Not Mary.
Catholics do not believe Mary to be dead. She was assumed, body and soul, into heaven at the conclusion of her life. That said, all prayers are made to God, through the intercession of Christ, and perhaps the additional intercession of Mary or other saints. It is not permitted to seek the intercession of anyone who is not a saint or blessed (with permission).
Elizabeth gave birth to john the baptist and she wasnt just any woman and his father was not just any one. Why do people think marry could have been just any woman when she gave birth to Jesus. Ave Maria🙏🏿
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a new sub, starting today. I'll be sharing your videos. Stay blessed as I am to have found you. Please pray for me and my love ones.
Hi Hugh! I love that you quote scripture all the time! I've been trying to know my bible inside and out, and have been doing Bible in a Year for 3 three years now. Are there any methods or ways that you use or would recommend, so that I can know my bible so well that I can quote it off the top of my head? as it usually seems that you do! :) Thanks for the videos, keep 'em coming! 👍👍
@flipflopfantasys1961
I would suggest you start reading through some of the books of the New Testament, read SLOWLY, i mean read through a Gospel or Epistle once; then go back and read it again. Then a third time, highlight whst you read, check any cross references ( other books noted in the center or margins thst relate to what you are reading). Camp in one book of the Bible ( stay in the New Testament for a good long while). After like a month or more, read another one. Whst happens is you begin to really absorb it, it gets in you.And as you keep it up you find yourself not only knowing it better, but also remembering where you read what, and where it relates to other books in the Bible . I have found it a more effective way than just going through the whole Bible in a year. At least for me, although Fr Mike Schimtz pod cast of Bible in a year is still awesome. Hope it helps, God Bless.
@@catholicskeptic Awesome! Thanks for the tips! 👍
when I begged God, Mary answered, she trained me to be a Holy person, Jesus gave me his Blessing, I now am asking for help
The Roman Catholic view of Mary calls into question the compassion, the sympathy, the loving-kindness of God. It places in the people’s minds doubt about God’s care, concern, sympathy, compassion, and interest in their plight. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Bible ends in the 22nd chapter of Revelation with John having heard the amazing revelations, and in this particular case from an angel, when he heard, verse 8 of Revelation 22, it says, “I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. And he said to me, ‘Do not do that/ I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren, the prophets, and of those who heed the words of this book. Worship God.’“ In another scene in the book of Revelation there is an angel, an everlasting, flying through heaven with an everlasting message, “Worship God. Worship God,” who is to be worshiped as our Redeemer, our Benefactor, our Comforter, our Sympathizer, our Deliverer.
The Lord is the object of all our worship. The Lord is the object of all our thanksgiving. The Lord, the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, He alone is to be worshiped, He alone is to be venerated, He alone is to be adored, He alone is to be supplicated, He alone is to be petitioned. There is no need for any other person to intercede. You can go directly to God. The Old Testament makes it abundantly clear, and in the New Testament, we go directly to God the Son, and by God the Son directly to God the Father. We are drawn to God the Son by the Spirit, and we are given access to God the Father by the Son. That’s why 1 Timothy 2:5 says, “There is one God, and one Mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” There is one Mediator and it is the man, Christ Jesus. Not angels, not saints, and not Mary. All our burdens, all our prayers, all our requests go directly to God through our relationship with Jesus Christ.
John 14:13, “‘Whatever you ask,’ Jesus said, ‘in My name that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son.’“ If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. God is not reluctant to hear our prayers; nor is Jesus reluctant to hear our prayers, so that we need to go to the mother of Jesus who supposedly can soften up Jesus who then can soften up God to show some interest in our dilemmas. And John again writing in 1 John 5 and verse 14 says, “This is the confidence which we have before Him that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us and we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, and so we know that we have the request which we have asked from Him.” We go directly to God, directly by the prompting of the Spirit to God the Son, and through God the Son to God the Father.
Wonderful explanation!
@Harbinger290
Notice how Harbinger here, does not respond to my video, nor my argument, and not at all the scriptures I gave. He merely makes declarations. The Roman Catholic view, has been presented, but no response is given, thus there is no dialogue, discussion or conversation.
Catechism
#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
("ut cum stomacho loquar")👏👏👏👏
@Harbinger290
No it doesn't, it in fact reinforces the compassion of God.
Your second paragraph is also in error, although we can go to Jesus, we can also go to others who will also go to Jesus. The Bible not only says so, but it instructs us so... It isn't a tradeoff.
Timothy states there is one mediator, he does not say there is *only* one mediator. Even if this was so you again make the mistake that others cannot mediate between us and Jesus. Timothy stated between Jesus and God, not between us and Jesus.
Then of course we have the first public miracle of Our Lord.
Not for the blind, lame, deaf or sick...
The Wedding at Cana
1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
I don't think you ever really read that passage.
Mary does not argue with her Son. She states a problem.
Jesus states it is not yet His time.
His mother simply tells the servants "Do whatever He tells you "Also a good instruction for us.
And the result of The Mother of God interceding for the wedding party is they received a VAST amount of the very best wine...against the first inclination of her Son.
(lets take a look at the amount of wine. 120-180 gallons @ 25.4 oz per bottle of wine =600-900 bottles of wine or 50-75 cases of wine or 3,000-4,500 glasses of wine.
I always thought this to be a perpetual gift for the couple's future)
Luke 18:1-8 Parable of the Persistent Widow
1And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint, 2Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man. 3And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. 4And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man, 5Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard? 8I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
Luke 11:5-8 5
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, 6Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me and I have not what to set before him. 7And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give thee. 8Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
James 5:13-17
The Prayer of Faith
13Is any of you sad? Let him pray: Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing. 14Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man. And the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. 17Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth. And it rained not for three years and six months. 18And he prayed again. And the heaven gave rain: and the earth brought forth her fruit.
@@dave_ecclectic Friend, you are free to pray to whomever you like. I pray to the Father because my relationship is with Him. He’s more than willing to receive and answer my prayers directly as He often does. He says He’s a jealous God and I take that to mean He actually desires fellowship with me. This is my relationship, you are free to pray and talk to whomever you like.
He is the one for me: John 17:3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
God Bless!
Wonderful video thank you.
✋👏👏👏God bless!
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed your take on the grace given to Mary by virtue of Christ on the Cross. I would venture to propose that all grace found in the Old Testament was by virtue of the Eternal Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. The fruits of the Cross are eternal and applied across all time. Otherwise, there would have been no salvation for the saints of the Old Testament.
Thanks for your efforts. Please research necromancy. You are unintentionally furthering the Protestant misunderstanding of this term. Yes, Mary and the other saints aren’t dead, so that’s dispositive, but to make it even clearer that it has nothing to do with asking the saints to pray for us is that necromancy is not merely speaking to the dead, but rather the raising or conjuring of the dead to inquire of them to learn about the future, etc.
There is a crisis about the "divinity"of jesus if some protestants refuse to accept that he had a mother and yet accept he is God
That would be a variant of Docetism. An old heresy being revived in Protestant "churches".
@@alisterrebelo9013You mean Nestorianism?
@@geoffjs No I meant docetism which is a heresy that says Jesus's body was not human. The person is thus describing a variant of docetism, which is a denial that Jesus has a human mother, and therfore somehow lacks full humanity.
Nestorianism is a heresy that says that the Divine Word took on a fully separate human nature such that there are two *separate* natures within the human body of Jesus.
Hugh. It would be very helpful, if you could provide links to any reference sources that are drawn upon outside of the Bible. Pop them in the description part of the episode
Interesting parallel I've recently discovered. On his way out of this world, the handmaiden of the king, King David, was Abishag, a virgin, and she kept him warm. On his way into this world, the Handmaiden of the Lord, Jesus, the King of Kings, Mary, a virgin, her womb kept the King warm.
My question to those who doubt: When has any God ordained Handmaiden of a King ever been anything than a perpetual virgin?
Provided that's a valid analogy, when? Mary. That's when. Obviously that's the case since Jesus had several half brothers and sisters. But the analogy is false since there is nothing that says Abishag remained a virgin. And two, Mary didn't keep Jesus warm any differently than any other pregnant mother. So it's nothing unique. Your analogy is a huge stretch, at best, but more like a false analogy.
Just observation imo this why I rather marry a Catholic women 😅 then Protestant. Mary brings nurturing and gentleness to the church. Protestant seem untethered with a Bible and missing so many elements within a church
@Will-mt3sn
That is a very fascinating observation, one to think on, thanks. 😊
Whoever wants to know about the role of the holy mother of Jesus must read the Cathequism of the Catholic Church and in there all doubts are there.
It’s so sad to see this unnatural hate that evangelicals have to the figure of the biggest project of God or the blessed Virgin Mary.
Protestants have such narrow minds when it comes to Mary, that their ears meet!
Well presented!
Everything is present to God because he exists outside of time so he sees the past present and future as present to him and so Jesus life death and resurrection and salvation is available to all mankind and so by the grace of God Abraham,Noah, Jacob etc etc and our blessed mother Mary have been given salvation.
When Jesus descended into the hell of waiting the bosom of Abraham those who washed clean in the body of Christ entered heaven, the bosom of Abraham was also known as paradise and so that’s why Jesus said to the thief on the cross this day you will be with me in paradise, clearly Jesus descended into Hell that day.
Love to hear people defend our mother in heaven. Hard to keep up with some of his fast speech.
Great video, thank you for that. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite Catholic channels!
Whatever happens, we'll find out the whole truth after we die. I pray it's together in heaven that we find out.
For the Protestants who oppose Mary vehemently, it will be quite difficult for them to face her in heaven. Seeing her in heaven, they may perhaps opt for hell.
Great video, many thanks
May God Bless you
_May God Bless you_
Why would God bless someone who tells lies, and not only lies, blasphemous lies? Besides his lie that anyone is saying God just needed a uterus, Catholicism lies about Mary so it is hardly "right" about Mary. Mary was a sinner just like everyone else and is dead, just like everyone else of that time and for the past 2,200 or so years.
Here is a comment read on this video: “Did you know? The first gospel is the one written by Mark (a close friend of the apostles Peter and Paul), he wrote it in 70 AD.
This comment confirms the truth: the Church was born, before the Bible! Through the testimony and missionary work of the apostles and disciples. By the Word and not the scriptures, which indeed did not yet exist.
God could have just shown up as an adult if He wanted, and yet He decided to become man and live as one. He decided He needed a mother to do that. He decided Mary would be the one. God needed a mother.
The Word made flesh, Christ had
a 100% human/flesh woman as His mother.
Everything is by the grace of God
The Mother of God.......the Holy Spirit told us so via Elizabeth in Luke 1: 41-44.
And Protestants denying that Mary is the mother of God, deny His divinity!
@@geoffjs very relevant comment. Thank You !
What is the protestant understanding of the word 'virgin'? Good day.
Hail Caesar and hail full of grace are titles given to those in authority they were titles of honour
Both Adam and Eve sinned, but the covenant with God was with Adam and that’s why the new Adam Jesus corrected this with his death and resurrection and giving a new covenant at the last supper, and Mary makes amends for the sin of Eve.
Mary could make amends for nothing. She was a human being as much in need of a savior as any other human being. There was no "second Eve" as there was a second Adam.

@@martinmartin1363 You're seeing it only in terms of what you want to see. Mary, not being God, can make amends for no one's sin. Not even her own.
Jesus is WORD of God. He is not "scriptures" of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh. He is not "scriptures" made flesh. Our Faith is based on the Word and not on the Scriptures! Because the Scriptures come from the Word and not the Word from the Scriptures !
Someone has written “Jesus and the Scriptures are one”. But don't forget : Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh. Jesus is not the “Scriptures” of God. He is the Word of God. God created everything by His Word and not by “notes” (Read the beginning of the book of Genesis and the beginning of the Gospel of John).
And all the classic reformers knew it
Who defined the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception? Was it a man or was it from the inspired word of God in the Bible?
From the Catholic Encyclopedia definition, you read this. The preservation and exemption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from every stain of original sin from the first moment of her conception we declare, pronounce, and define that the most holy Blessed Virgin Mary at the first instance of her conception was preserved Immaculate from all stains of original sin.
Now if I can prove to you what the Catholic Encyclopedia has defined Immaculate Conception to be is the same definition as what the Bible says about all of us that we are also preserved and exempt from every stain of original sin from the first moment of our conception. Will you concede that we also are Immaculate Conceived?
If I quote these two passages one in Psalm 139:13-14 “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” and this passage in Ezekiel 28:15 “You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.” Would you say when it says “You formed my inward parts, and fearfully and wonderfully made, and “You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created” does it talk about Mary? Yes, right? Well, not only her but all of us my friend.
Now can I take the Catholic Encyclopedia definition and read it this way? The preservation and exemption of all babies from every stain of original sin from the first moment of our conception we declare, pronounce, and define that all at the first instance of our conception were preserved Immaculate from all stains of original sin. Can this also refer to all of us and those who are born today and will tomorrow? Most absolutely.
Here are more Bible passages that will completely refute and debunk your notion that the RCC doctrine keeps saying that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the only one born sinless when the Bible says everyone is born sinless.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Ecclesiastes 7:29 Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes.”
Matthew 18:2-6 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. If a child will go to heaven certainly a baby will also, therefore, were not born with a sinful nature.
Mark 10:13-16 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them. Again if a child will go to heaven certainly a baby will also, therefore, were not born with a sinful nature.
Romans 9:11 for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls.
Now let's bring this further in the future. This dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined by Pius IX on December 8, 1854. As you can see it was all made up from the go by a man many centuries after Jesus Christ was ascended into heaven and where did this Pius get that idea from? Did he get it from some Mary's apparition where she said she was Immaculate Conceived or by twisting some Scriptures to come up with that idea?
Pius finally defined it on December 8, 1854, just before Mary said it herself at the grotto of Lourdes on 25 March 1858, when Saint Bernadette Soubirous asked the name of the mysterious Lady who appeared to her, she replied, “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
That is odd Pius said it first before she said it. So he must have got that idea from twisting some Bible passages.
Now let's add this up. That could only prove it was not Mary who appeared to Saint Bernadette or ever appeared to any of all her apparitions past and future but it was Satan himself the angel of light. He wants to confirm her apparitions so you Catholics stay firm in her that since you love her so much and you seem not able to live without her or take her out of your mind that you pray, bow down, and worship her on your knees it was his way to make you believe more about her and keep in you so deep in the dark because he did not want to lose you.
Another reason it could not be Mary is because she knows we are all born without sin from what God says about us and why would she come and tell us a lie and go against the teaching of God's word that she is the only one sinless and nobody else. It would not make any sense and she would have sinned and now on her way to hell.
Now let's refute some of the Bible passages you brought up to support your claim.
Luke 1:26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
Luke 1:30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Did you know in Acts 6:8 that Stephen was full of grace. "And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people." Does that mean that Stephen was born sinless and immaculate conceived like Mary?
I know why you would read it from Douay-Rheims because like you said it is a Catholic Bible that agrees with you that is why you picked it up but no other Bibles called her “Hail, full of grace, or thou hast found grace with God” but all said “highly favored.” Seems there is a preference to say that because it suits your Catholic doctrine if it did not it would destroy your doctrine so you have to stick to Douay-Rheims. But funny if something is said in the King James Bible that looks good for your doctrine why do you not stay with Douay-Rheims that you need to come in that Bible? Does your Catholic Bible not have it? Anyway, you are outnumbered on this one not too many would agree with you.
Just because Douay-Rheims was written in 1582 and the King James was written in 1611 does not prove it was translated better or more accurately where most people believe the King James and the New King James version because it is better and the most accurate translation from Hebrews and Greek into English by taken from the original manuscripts.
Anyway, I will leave it at that too many things to say it will take too much of my time to say more. Just for me to prove the RCC doctrine of Immaculate Conception does not agree with what the Bible says is enough to show your doctrine is a lie.
Now please stop lying you are in danger of going to hell with the rest of the Catholics. If you preach that lies and many lies of the RCC doctrine you will be responsible for sending many with you to hell. Read the Bible properly at its face value and in the context it was written. You have not studied the Bible enough my friend.
Come to Christ not to Mary she is dead and her bones are still in the grave.
Pope Pius IX infallibly declared this dogma in 1884 four years before Our Lady appeared at Lourdes in 1858 confirming that she is the Immaculate Conception which is based around Lk 1:28.
If Mary is dead, where are her relics, which would have been revered by the early church. Mary has appeared in many apparitions over the centuries with urgent msgs from her son for prayer & reparations
To bear Jesus, Mary had to be pure & God saved her from original sin at the moment of her conception. Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant & was assumed into heaven, like Elijah & Elisha, where she is Queen Mother, type of Esther.
Technically, Jesus is the hybrid person God-Man, so Mary is the Mother of the Man-God. This is most accurate, because Jesus IS God 100%, but he is also Human 100%. But, since we cannot separate the hypostatic union, Mary gave birth to the Man-God. This would actually be the best title, the most accurate. Jesus's Father was God 100%, and Jesus's Mother was human 100%. So, God is the Father of the God-Man Jesus, and Mary is the Mother of the Man-God Jesus.
Are roman catholics right about this?
St. Thomas Aquinas writes, "Mary is the whole hope of our salvation,” and "Through the intercession of Mary any souls are in Paradise who would not be there had she not interceded for them, for God has entrusted her with the keys and treasures of the heavenly kingdom.”
St. Gregory Palamas: “No divine gift can reach either angels or men, save through her mediation. As one cannot enjoy the light of a lamp … save through the medium of this lamp, so every movement towards God, every impulse towards good coming from Him is unrealizable save through the mediation of the Virgin. She does not cease to spread benefits on all creatures….”
Theophanes of Nicaea: “[Mary] is the dispenser and distributor of all the wondrous uncreated gifts of the divine Spirit, which make us Christ’s brothers and co-heirs, not only because she is granting the gifts of her natural Son to His brothers in grace, but also because she is bestowing them on these as her own true sons, though not by ties of nature but of grace.”
Mary’s title of mediatrix arises from her cooperation in the Incarnation and in the Redemption of mankind. Through her “yes” (Lk 1:38), she became the Theotokos (God-bearer), and, as the “New Eve,” she is “the Mother of all living.”
@@iggyantioch that is made up nonsense. Scripture never speaks of her as some kind of mediatrix or new eve. This is just more marian heresies.
So.
Not the Theotokos?
Let's start there
@@iggyantioch I want to know where Mary is called the “New Eve,” and is “the Mother of all living” from the Scriptures. After all, all that we know of Mary is found in the NT.
Mediatrix of all grace isn't a Dogma.
We're protected from all heresys .
The Catholic Church is infallible in these regards. Unfortunately for your argument.
But we'd love to see you guys at Mass.
Peace
What I would like to know, who in the first 400 years believed Mary was assumed into heaven? Constantine’s wife did not believe this, for she actually picked a spot where she believed Mary was buried. Who believed she was assumed into heaven during the first few centuries?
Read the Church Fathers.
Constantine had nothing to do with Christian doctrine other than wanting unity.
"Empress Helena, who identified many Holy Land sites, did not assert a location for Mary’s burial or any knowledge of her body’s whereabouts. This fact is especially significant because of how seriously ancient cities vied for the bones of the apostles and martyrs: There is no historical record of such a search for Mary’s body."
Maybe nobody. Why? Let's say no one did. What is it that you think follows from this?
@@jimnewlHe just makes up things and demands you argue against his fake facts.
@@fantasia55 I have read many "Church Fathers". Would you mind pointing to me where someone made this claim? Thank you.
The phrase Mother of God is not in Scripture, but we do have something synonymous in Luke 1:43, in the heart of the visitation account. When Mary entered Elizabeth’s home and greeted her, Elizabeth “exclaimed with a loud cry: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’”
Biblical evidence for this dogma is not limited to the New Testament. St. Cyril of Jerusalem and the fathers of the Council of Ephesus referred to an intriguing prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 in their own exposition of both Jesus’ divinity and Mary’s divine maternity:
For the holy prophet Isaiah does not lie when he says, “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted God with us.”
The Messiah was to be born of a woman, and yet he was to be called Immanuel, which means God with us. According to the council fathers, God with us means what it says: Jesus is God; so this prophetic virgin, Mary, would then be the Mother of God. Add to this prophecy the text of Luke 1:43 and we have both the Old and New Testaments revealing the “Catholic” truth about Mary.
Elizabeth-under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit-suggests that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant. Consider these parallels:
2 Samuel 6:16 presents King David leaping in the presence of the Ark. Luke 1:41 tells how St. John the Baptist leapt in the womb of Elizabeth when Mary greeted her upon entering into her home.
2 Samuel 6:11 records that “the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months.” Luke 1:56 tells us that Mary “remained in the house of Elizabeth about three months.”
Further, recall the reason why the Ark of the Covenant was believed to be surpassingly holy. According to Hebrews 9:4, it carried inside of it three holy objects:
A sample of the manna, the miraculous bread from heaven (Exod. 16).
The Ten Commandments, God’s words from heaven (Exod. 20).
The rod of Aaron, the high priest (Num. 17).
All three of these gifts given by God to Israel were types-spiritual prefigurements-of Jesus Christ. Mary carried within her womb:
The true bread from heaven (John 6:32).
The Word of God made flesh (John 1:14).
Our true High Priest (Heb. 3:1).
The parallels are unmistakable. Elizabeth and the Gospel author (plus the unborn John the Baptist!), inspired by the Holy Spirit, recognize that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant and bearer of the fulfillment of all that the old ark contained: not a mere man but divinity in the flesh, alive within her. She is the Mother of God.
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
