Worship (“worthy-ship”) is best interpreted as “give esteem”. We give adoration, latria, to God alone, we give veneration, dulia, worship, to the Saints–I have seen a stained glass window of John Calvin in Westminster Presbyterian by the California State Capitol–and we give extreme veneration, hyperdulia, to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the creature of God of greater dignity and holiness than all others, angels or men.
Iconoclasts blur these distinctions between the several gradations of piety, despite Adonai’s command to hear Him from between the images of angels on the ark of the covenant (Exodus 25:22), and Adonai’s command (Numbers 21:6-9) to set up brass serpents on a pole to be viewed by the people for a cure from the plague punishment for their faithlessness, to which Jesus seems to be referring about Himself in John 12:32 when He says “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.”.
Most people who feel scruples that our attention to Mary should not detract from the glory of Jesus, take no account, that it is His own will that we begin our efforts at properly humbling ourselves before Him, by first humbling ourselves to her.

Fr. Frederick W. Faber, 1851 | Traditional Melody, Catholic Church Hymnal with Music, 1905, p. 171 |

1. Mother of Mercy, day by day My love of thee grows more and more; Thy gifts are strewn upon my way, Like sands upon the great seashore; Like sands upon the great seashore. | 2. Though poverty and work and woe The masters of my life may be, When times are worst, who does not know, Darkness is light with love of thee? Darkness is light with love of thee? |
3. But scornful men have coldly said Thy love was leading me from God; And yet in this I did but tread, The very path my Saviour trod; The very path my Saviour trod. | 4. They know but little of thy worth Who speak these heartless words of thee; For what did Jesus love on earth, One half so tenderly as thee? One half so tenderly as thee? |
5. Get me the grace to love thee more; Jesus will give if thou wilt plead; And, Mother, when life’s cares are o’er, Oh, I shall love thee then indeed; Oh, I shall love thee then indeed. | 6. Jesus, when His three hours were run, Bequeathed thee from the Cross to me; And Oh, how can I love thy Son, Sweet Mother, if I love not thee? Sweet Mother, if I love not thee? |
So is this a protected caucus thread for catholics, or are we allowed to dismantle these heresies?
They are the heretics who decided to tell God what he is..the catholic church is not of God, you can blame all true Christians lack of zeal in becoming the pagan cult it always was .
Nothing about Mary, it’s because it’s the lies of Satan and not the Jewish kings ways..
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
If your religion or denomination is mentioned it cannot be a caucus thread. defend away.
Mary certainly faded into obscurity throughout the NT as far as the operation things of salvation. You’d think a central figure so important to the operation of the Church would be front and center in theology throughout the Epistles, but the opposite is the case.
Mary didn’t “give Christ his body,” as many Catholics contend. Christ TOOK upon Himself a body of flesh. He was the initiator from start to finish. He needed no “permission.”
Here’s the more exact date.
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling between 1508 and 1512. That included many unchaste pictures, God’s unclothed bottom being the worst of all.

Things like that are so obvious. The whole cult of Mary is built on such a rotten, flimsy edifice. The other one that always amuses me is when Jesus said AS CLEAR AS DAY “Call no man father” and yet the whole “thing” of calling priests father. They have to conjure up all kind of illogical mumbo jumbo to explain away doing the dead opposite Jesus’s simple and direct comnand.
And more generally:
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” Revelation 12:10
With all that is going on in the world today you somehow thought this was a good idea to post. It’s just another attack on the “body of Christ”.
I find it very offensive that those who claim to know our Lord, continue in their assault against this body of believers because we don’t wish to follow the so-called “Mother Church”.
Reminds me of the millstone passage for some reason.
Yep the body and blood is not some mysterious conjured up by dead pagan priest, it’s creation, no priest needed, if you eat my flesh and drink my blood you already have life in you because you know he lives in all, including us..
Fake rituals, fake righteousness is the entire death cult of the catholic church, pagan Ishtar death cult to the bone, liar before his throne, pharasee spirit liars..
This death cult formed by Ishtar pagan priest, no disciple was ever a pope..they wanted power once they conquer Israel..
Couldn’t have a Jewish religion, so.made their own including a fake Mary God to fit over Ishtar since the people already worshipped a woman, and would strip the church from the jews..
But God used it for a while to.keep believers from being burned like street lights in the cities, then the death cult started telling everyone they were heretics for not accepting the popes lies..and killing believers just.like Rome, then every culture they encountered instead of sharing , the killed everything in the name of their fake pagan goddess..still are today, a new crop.of lying anti semetic pharasee spirited death cults are rising back up..reject all ways of man..seel Christ..
Put down the crack pipe...
