Reason Jesus Christ Never Refer To Mary As 'Mother' But Always Call Her 'Woman'

From www.pegikrol.com

If Jesus Christ, according to the Bible is rated as being the the true saviour of mankind would it be good and justified for us who claim to be Christians to worship the mother and pray to her?

Now, in the Bible, we all are aware that Mary was the true mother of Jesus Christ in earth. And their is no doubt that Mary was the only one chosen by God to mother our saviour Jesus Christ. Should because of the this privilege that God gave to Mary or the favor granted to Mary by God to begin to rate Mary higher or equal with God?

I get flabagasted when I hear and read from the so called Catholic members of the way they worship and pray to Mary. This is just alarming! Sometimes, I do think they are under somewhat a spell. But I discover that when you talk it out with them they seem not to be perturbed by it. They don't even care. They exhibit this nonchalant attitude towards the words clearly written in the Bible condemning idolatry, or praying to creatures and honoring the dead.

I had decided to read through the whole of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and I have come to the conclusion that there is no place in the Bible that Jesus called Mary "mother". And not only that he never called her mother, there is no place that Jesus preached Mary His mother. There is no place in the Bible where Jesus commanded us to pray to may as well.

But come to think of this, at least as a human, we are blessed with the ability to reason. We get education; learn to read and write and to understand things. But why then should we believers just take the words of Jesus out of context and try to curn it to our own favour. When the words of Jesus in the Bible is so clear for us to understand, we tend to reject it and believe in what false teachers, priest, reverends, pope etc have tabled before us?

It is not a sin or abomination for anyone of us to take up the Bible and read. But we have become so spiritually lazy that we prefer the priest, reverend, pastors, pope etc to read, study and explain the Bible for us. It is good when we listen to them, some of them are anointed by God. Yes of course they are. But how would you know they are truly anointed when many of them are busy misleading you through false teachings of the Bible. If you don't read and study the word of God yourself you would not know a false prophet or teacher.

Jesus Words In The Bible Referring Mary To Woman And Reason

Jesus according to the Bible is the "same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrew 13:cool. Which means Jesus has the foreknowledge of everything both in the past, present and future. The Bible also says Jesus was not created and He is the word of God and God (John 1:1). Which means He knows what man is capable of doing and also has the knowledge that man would eventually turn to worship and pray to Mary.

Because Jesus was aware that man would turn at the end to worship and pray to Mary. He called her woman to put her in the place of other women as well. Jesus calling Mary "woman" is for us to know that He (Jesus) chose her not because she was the most qualified among women but because it was just the choice of God. In the Bible days and before Mary was chosen are many other virgins. Just like Elizabeth the mother of John the baptist was declared righteous by the Bible, does it mean Elizabeth was not qualified to have being the mother of Jesus.

God has made us to understand that He is the one that makes His choice and His choice can not be argued, disqualified or disdained. As God chose Elizabeth to be mother of John the baptist by choice, He also chose Mary to be the mother Jesus. So, we shouldn't look at it as if Mary was the most righteous among all women or Elizabeth was the most righteous among women but because among all women God made a choice of Mary, she was called blessed. So any choice that God makes on any man or woman he or she eventually would be called blessed. The reason is that it is a favour from the Lord on such individual.

"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found FAVOURwith God." Luke 1:30 KJV.

The same way that God chose Abraham among all men to be the father of faith does not mean Abraham was the most qualified but because he was God's choice he became a blessed man.

Therefore, every man and woman is a vessel in God's hand and we shouldn't see ourselves or anyone of us because we have been chosen by God to carry out His (God) work, to be God and worthy of worship or to be prayed to. No matter how anointed a man or woman is, be it a prophet or mother of Jesus, we must not worship or pray to them. It is an abomination! And the punishment is eternal damnation in hell fire. Beware of that! Don't say you were not warned.

Note : Mary never chose God but God chose her. Elizabeth never chose God but God chose her. Abraham never chose God but God chose him. Paul never chose God but God chose him. Even all the disciples never chose to follow Jesus but Jesus chose them.

John 15:16 KJV
"Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."

Knowing all these, why then do we have to equal the creatures to the creator? Praying to Mary and worshipping her is like saying God was created and that Mary is the mother of God. Can you see how the devil has use his deception to use some men to belittle who God truly. Now will you say that Mary is the mother of God? God forbid!

If God created all things visible and invisible, including Mary, why do you worship and pray to Mary?

Now quoting from many of Jesus words in the Bible where He refers to His mother Mary, you would discover that He never made mention of mother. And their is no man that would see his or her mother and wouldn't called her mother. But Jesus was different. He made us to understand He is above human and above His earthly mother. Below is some of His quotes referring to His mother.

John 2:3-5 KJV
"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. [4] Jesus saith unto her, WOMAN, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. [5] HIS MOTHER saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it ."

Just take a look at the above chapter and verses where the mother of Jesus told Jesus about lack of wine in the wedding ceremony. Did you read the reply? Jesus called her "WOMAN".

This was done to put Mary in her place as a human and a woman...that she has no right to force the hand of His creator over anything. Jesus proved to her and also made us to understand that He is the one in control of things and He does things at His own will.

We really need to be careful because if we fall a pray to satans tactics, which to out us in ignorance of the true word of God, then we would be blamed for it. God will not pardone us for such lapses. Now see this verse below;

John 19:25-27 KJV
"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his MOTHER, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. [26] When Jesus therefore saw his MOTHER, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his MOTHER, WOMAN, behold thy son! [27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy MOTHER! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."

Oh my God! Why are many falling for this little satans deception. See what is written, Jesus again, even at the point of death never refer to His mother as mother but WOMAN rather, He directed Mary His mother to behold John the divine whom He (Jesus) loved as her son, thus, take John as her son and also commanded John to take His (Jesus) own mother as his (John) mother. Why are many Catholic members deceived. Even a small boy we definitely understand this and would be able to expound on these chapters and verses.

Now, just read the below verses in the Bible where Jesus says we should love Him more than even anyone, including our mother and father.

Matthew 10:37 KJV
"He that loveth FATHER or MOTHER more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."

Does that the above verse read good meanings to us as to why we shouldn't worship or pray to Mary?

Here another one

Matthew 19:29 KJV
"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or MOTHER, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."

The above verse is another pointer towards honoring, worshipping and praying to Jesus alone and to no one else.

It would be a sin or abomination when you or anyone by pass the one and only saviour and worship or pray to a creator. That is a sin punishable by eternal damnation in hell fire. Take heed now before its too late for you.

Now, here is another one that surprised me as well. When Jesus was preaching and His parents came looking for Him. When the people told Jesus that His Father and mother were by the side wanting to speak with Him, read Jesus words in reply;

Matthew 12:46-50 KJV
"While he yet talked to the people, behold, his MOTHER and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. [47] Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. [48] But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my MOTHER? and who are my brethren? [49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my MOTHER and my brethren! [50] For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

We can now see how Satan, his demons and agents are subtly taking making souls to hell fire in the disguise of Catholic Church, their priests, reverend and pope. How on earth for God sake will you allow yourself to be deceived in this manner. This is too cheap of a deception for you to fall into. Do something now before it is too late.

Do you know that praying to Mary and worshipping her amounts to idolatry and necromancy. You are worshipping a creature, which is idolatry and praying to the dead, which is necromancy. And those involved in such abomination will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9 KJV
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor IDOLATERS, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind..."

Revelation 21:8 KJV
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and IDOLATERS, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Deuteronomy 18:10-13 KJV
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. [12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord : and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. [13] Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God."

What do you make of this? Will you allow yourself to be deceived and be rejected forever by Jesus all the last day. Who died for you and who is your saviour? Make a decision, take the bold step and refuse to be cm deceived any longer. Prove to God that you His child and servant. Yiu have the right to study the word of God. Every man, whether pastors, priests, reverend or pope, will all stand before the judgment seat of God to answer for themselves on that dreadful day of the Lord. So, what stops you from studying God's holy word yourself.

2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

Romans 2:1 KJV
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man...."

Therefore my brethren, give your life to Jesus christ and not to any man or your "holy mary".
