Mary a virgin conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit while still a virgin (Luke 1:34-35 and Matthew 1:25), and gave birth to only Jesus.
Even though Matthew13:55 and Mark6:3 address Jesus relatives as brothers. Reading John19:25 , Matthew27:56, Mark15:40, Jude:1 and mark3:17-18 further reveals that those mentioned are close relatives of Jesus .

The queen of heaven is a title given to Mary base on the fact that a king mother plays a queen role (2kings2:19) and Jesus is a king (John18:37)
The title is taken from Revelation12:1-6
where the mother of Jesus is crown with 12 stars which symbolise angels (star), 12
tribes of Israel(the chosen people), 12 apostles (Church). There were other titles like the Ark of new covenant. This is from the fact that the power of God or Shekinah Glory rested on Mary in Luke1:35 and in Exodus40:34-38 the Shekinah Glory rested on the Ark of the covenant. Jesus is the fulfilment of the law (Matthew5:17) and stayed in the womb of Mary, but the law in Exodus40:20 and Hebrew9:4 was inside the Ark of the covenant.

The mother of Jesus need to be respected.

TarOrfeek:


The idiot is jealous that Mary is still a virgin even after so many years.

Maybe she lost hers to Cabin biscuit and Fanta.


Nigerian women and frustration.

Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3

If you have listened to some new testament modern preachers that really preaches about the gospel, you should have heard James the Lord's brother before.... Jesus was the first born, but Mary had other children.

Jeromejnr:
Say no to idols.

Probably her eyes were opened and she was vexed in spirit at the sight of statues and monuments being erected in places of worship.

May zeal for Your house consume Your people O Lord.

MistadeRegal:
What most people do not know is that, anything you set up and start worshiping gets possessed. This is not Virgin Mary and even she never died a virgin because she had other children for Joseph. Making her a god to worship is idolatery.
There was a time someone told me they are only honouring the Queen of Heaven. The same religion that was condemned by GOD of the children of Israel during the days of Jeremiah.

Read the book of Jeremiah Chapter 7 and Chapter 44 and see what GOD says about the so called religion of the Queen of Heaven.

Think people.

And for those disputing if Mary had other children or not, see the following Bible passages:

Open your Bible to Matthew 13:55,56
55. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Mark 6:3
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

may God have mercy on her.....

Do you know what 'worship' means? Did the Catholics tell you they're worshipping Mary? Did they tell you they think that statue is Mary?

I'm willing to bet you're one of these rabid, prosperity-gospel Pentecostals that make noise all over the place in the name of 'speaking in tongues' and 'casting out demons'!

asuustrike1:

Here are the facts staring at many Catholics on idol worship
1.The Catholic church teaches it's followers to bow down before statues when in prayer. Anyone can walk into a Catholic church and see kneelers before every statue place within. However, the Creator specifically states in Exo 20:5,Lev 26:1 on bowing down to statues

2.The Catholic church declares unto all that are of her church to embrace and gather as many statues, medals, relics, and artifacts to themselves as a sign of holiness unto the Lord God. However, the Creator specifically states in Deut 29: 17 not to use such. Even some pentecostal churches have join them in this madness by putting on their G.O's picture on pendant. Thank the likes of Adeboye and Olukoya have vehemently condemned such in their preaching.
3.Catholics pray repetitive prayers using the rosary whereas Jesus forbid repetitive prayer ( See Mat 6:7)
4. Many catholics believe that Mary is still a virgin whereas the bible made it clear after birth of Christ that she had other children ( see Mat 13:55-56.
5. Catholics believe Mary is a mediator between man and God whereas the bible was clear when it say that Jesus was ( See 1 Tim 2:5)
6. From 1200-1970 AD, Roman Catholics laity were forbidden to drink the blood. This is known as communion under one kind, or communion of one species. During this time, Roman Catholics are permitted to eat the bread (body) of the Lord's Supper, they are generally not allowed to drink the wine (blood) of the Lord's Supper, as any Catholic knows from his own experience from attending Mass. (Except on rare special occasions.) The laity (the people in the pews) are withheld the cup of the Lord and it is usually reserved for church leaders only. Yes there are denominations within the Roman Catholic "communion" where some RC sects actually offer the juice, but most Mass attending Catholics know they rarely drink the cup of wine. Even till date many parishes don't share the wine whereas it run contrary to what Mat 26:26-28, 8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28

MistadeRegal:


JESUS CHRIST never told anyone to worship his mother.
Those passages you quoted still hasn't proved your claims but see this:

Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him.
John:7:2-5

Hope you can see 'that thy disciples'.

You just posted the truth but does that justify that lady's action

spine:



Bros
i can see you are set in your views.
goodluck with that.
i used to do this many years ago.
diseccting the so called ills of other denominations and exalting mine.
It is self deciet to presume you have the monopoly of good and christlike behavior in the church you were groomed.
when i got wiser, i discovered its all bullocks trying to grandstand
or assuming God has your personal email and has sent you 2019 update in detail on who is absolutely right and who is hell bound.
The same bible youre quoting, is the same bible that people quote to justify what they do.
na you go tire.
these debates have been on for years. The same book that says suffer not the witch to live, still tells brethren to love those who do them harm.
The same bible that condemns "vain repetitive prayer" in which you conspicuously chose the rosary example and forgot the fire prayers with arrows and missiles in most pentecostal churches still says pray without ceasing.....
what constitutes idolatry today would shock you....you have no idea. Pray to God for insight lest you be found wanting with set beliefs.
bottom line the bible is not a story book to use in entertaining yourself....so many thing come into play.. the context in which the statement was said, the situation youre trying to address and the spirit leading you.
it is my candid resolution to quit pontificating...
if i am not comfortable in a particular church because their methods dont resonate with me, i would simply find a different place and guide my kin there so they are raised with the foundation i can comprehend.
Same God who gave us Abraham and then isaac still gave haggar a son called ishmael...after the were driven away into the desert, the same God who you think you totally understand provided a miracle of water supply in the desert. ishmael is the genesis of muslims according to our holybook

if you dont know everything exercise restraint and keep vain judgement to yourself
bottomline face your church and your own business and leave God to decide who is right and wrong.
cheers

The mother church is in pentecostal this was not how God wanted it to be. The bible is our guide and I have given you facts with scriptural evidences as to why idolatry still exist in that church. Unfortunately anybody against catholics is either a protestant or pentecostal even when the evidence is staring at them. Am not a pentecostal if you must know

How for burning an idol or what?

Bro read the bible well, you will know that Mary has no other children. Nor do catholic worship mary . I have posted it above but have to copy it to you here.


John 19:25
But by the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Matthew 27:56
Among them were Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

Mark 15:40
Now some women were there also, looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,

Jude 1
1 JUDE, A servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and brother of James, [writes this letter] to those who are called (chosen), dearly loved by God the Father and separated (set apart) and kept for Jesus Christ:

Mark 3:17-18
17 James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes],

Matthew 13:55-56
55 Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary? And are not His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56 And do not all His sisters live here among us? Where then did this Man get all this?

___________________________________________________

Matthew 13 listed James, Joseph, Simon and Judas. Now let's take a look on crucification account by John, Mark and Mathew listed above ( in the crowd three women were noted Mary mother of Jesus, {Mary the [wife] of Clopas, } and Mary Magdalene.
John tells us that the wife of Clopas also named Mary is a sister to Mary mother of Jesus.
Mark 15:40 points out that Joses(Joseph),James (also in Jude1:1), Judas(Jude) are Children of wife of clopas
Note also the use of sister for Clopas wife in John account (They were both named Mary).

Don't forget this, all generations
shall call Mary blessed (Luke1:48).
Does it mean that the Israelites were
worshiping the Ark of the covenant in the
book of Exodus. What biblical revelations Do
yo have about the old and new Ark of the
covenant? Now see why Mary is the Ark of
the covenant. Embodiment of Gods presence
and grace.
God the Holy Spirit overshadowed and then
indwelled the Ark. The Ark became the
dwelling place of the presence of God
[ Exodus 40:34-35]
God the Holy Spirit overshadowed and then
indwelled Mary. At that time Mary's womb
became the dwelling place of the presence
of God [ Luke 1:35].
The Ark contained the Ten Commandments
[the words of God in stone], a pot of manna,
and Aaron's rod that came back to life
[ Deuteronomy 10:3-5; Hebrews 9:4].
The womb of the Virgin contained Jesus: the
living Word of God enfleshed, the living
bread from heaven, "the Branch" (Messianic
title) who would die but come back to life
[ Luke 1:35].
The Ark traveled to the hill country of Judah
to rest in the house of Obed-edom [ 2
Samuel 6:1-11]
Mary traveled to the hill country of Judah
(Judea) to the home of Elizabeth [ Luke 1:39]
Dressed in a priestly ephod, King David
approached the Ark and danced and leapt
for joy [ 2 Samuel 6:14]
John the Baptist, son of a priest who would
himself becomes a priest, leapt for joy in
Elizabeth's womb at the approach of Mary
[ Luke 1:43]
David shouted for joy in the presence of God
and the holy Ark [ 2 Samuel 6:15]
Elizabeth exclaimed with a loud cry of joy in
the presence God within Mary [ Luke 1:42]
David asked, "How is it that the Ark of the
Lord comes to me?" [ 2 Samuel 6:9]
Elizabeth asks, "Why is this granted unto me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to
me?" [ Luke 1:43]
The Ark remained in the house of Obed-
edom for 3 months [ 2 Samuel 6:11]
Mary remained in the house of her cousin
Elizabeth for 3 months [ Luke 1:56].
The house of Obed-edom was blessed by
the presence of the Ark [ 2 Samuel 6:11]
The word "blessed" is used 3 times in Luke
1:39-45 concerning Mary at Elizabeth's
house.
The Ark returned to its sanctuary and
eventually ends up in Jerusalem where the
presence and glory of God is revealed in the
newly built Temple [ 2 Samuel 6:12; 1 Kings
8:9-11]
Mary returned home from visiting Elizabeth
and eventually comes to Jerusalem, where
she presents God the Son in the Temple
[ Luke 1:56; 2:21-22]
God made Aaron's rod (which would be
kept in the Ark) return to life and budded to
prove he was the legitimate High Priest
[ Numbers 17:8].
God would resurrect His Son, who had
become enfleshed in Mary's womb and born
to bring salvation to all mankind, to prove He
is the eternal High Priest [ Hebrews 4:14].
When the Ark was outside the Holy of Holies
[when it was being transported] it was to
be covered with a blue veil [ Numbers 4:4-6]
In Mary's appearances outside of heaven
visionaries testify that she wears a blue veil.
In Revelation 11:19 John sees the Ark of the
Covenant in heaven [this is the last verse of
chapter 11]
