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!

There are those, if they didn't have Mary to lead them, would never know of her Son. That's why throwing up blockades to Mary, is throwing up death to some.

...” throwing up blockades to Mary, is throwing up death to some”....

Using Mary to throwup blockades to Jesus will certainly lead to death for many who may have been “lead by His Spirit” otherwise to Him.

THAT is deifying her.

It's the HOLY SPIRIT who leads men to Christ. HE is the one who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

Knowing of Mary's son will not save anyone...So they are wasting their time with Mary...

And the real truth is, this veneration of Mary is blocking people who are searching for God...Some people want to come to God and then they get Mary shoved in between them and God and they are lost forever...
