Many in grave sin will go to Mary first, as Jesus is too frightening for them to approach.

Jesus? The one in the Bible?

The one who calls Himself the *good shepherd*?

The one who laid down His life to save us?

The one who forgave the woman caught in adultery?

The one who longs to gather Jerusalem under His arms as a hen gathers her chicks?

The one who said *Come unto me.......*?

Why on earth would any one think that Jesus is too frightening to approach?

Why would they have cause to fear Him? What do they think He's going to do to them?

What kind of Jesus has been portrayed to them that they would FEAR Him?

GOD has sent them a great delusion.

Many in grave sin ...

Only in RCC teaching is there gradation of sin.

Now that’s just sad. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep. He is FAR from frightening. He is our mediator. For the unbeliever, though, that’s a whole ‘nother story!

Yeah, Jesus is really scary!

What with that gentle sprit and all that "come unto me all you who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest."

The veneration of Mary is religion, Christianity is a relationship with God through His Son Jesus. Freely given.

There is no sin so grave that Jesus can't deal with it without the need for Mary to be the middle man.

Sad to see people directed to Mary instead of Jesus.
