The biblical Mary is a model of humility and submission to God, she is not sinless, not divine, and does not hear or answer any prayers

The virgin called Mary in the Bible was a lot of things, and we will talk about that, but first let’s discuss what she was not, according to scripture. She was not sinless, she was not ‘assumed into Heaven’ instead of dying, she was not the ‘gatekeeper to Jesus’, she did not remain a virgin, she wasn’t blessed above women, and no one who knew her ever asked her to answer their prayers. In short, she is very much unlike the ‘perpetual virgin’ Mary that is a creation from whole cloth by the Roman Catholic Church.

“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.” Luke 1:30 (KJB)

Either you believe the Bible or your don’t, that’s what it comes down to. Mary was a wonderful, godly woman who was used in a tremendous way to show what true, humble submission to the Lord is all about. But Mary was 100% human, just like me and you, she needed a Saviour to pay for her sins, just like me and you, this is what the evidence of scripture shows us. Much myth and legend has grown up around her, and she is worshipped by the Roman Catholic Church who has made her divine. It is my intent with this article to show you Mary’s beautiful humanity, the real Mary who indeed is blessed among women.

• MARY NEEDED A SAVIOUR: “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Luke 1:46,47 (KJB). Well people do not need a doctor, and sinless people do not need a Saviour. Sick people need doctors and sinners need a Saviour. Mary rightly says that God is her Saviour, she understands her true condition before the Lord. The Catholic response to this is to say that “Mary was just being humble when she said that”, but if that’s true, then she lied about needing a Saviour, and lying is a sin. So either way, Mary was a sinner who needed a Saviour.
• MARY HAD 6 OTHER CHILDREN: “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.” Mark 6:3 (KJB). Not only did Mary have other children, the Bible names Jesus’ 4 brothers and tells us about his two sisters. Matthew 13:53-58 shows this to be true as well.
• JESUS ALWAYS CALLED HER ‘WOMAN’: “Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.” John 2:4 (KJB). Jesus never called Mary His mother, though scripture clearly shows us she was. But anticipating the cult that would rise up around her, it looks like Jesus very carefully addressed her when he spoke to her. As He lay dying on the cross, He continued to refer to her as ‘woman’ even when he was instructing John to take her into him home to live out her days with him. This completely cuts off the idea that Jesus was somehow always a ‘mama’s boy’ and that Mary would lead people to Him as she is portrayed now. 
• MARY HELD NO SPECIAL PLACE IN THE CHURCH: “These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.” Acts 1:14 (KJB). The last mention of Mary in the Bible is in Acts, where we see her seated beside all the others as they all prayed together. You will note she holds no special place other than to be a member of this first church, Peter is leading the group and preaching. Mary is not consulted, no one asks her for any special requests or favors, she is on an equal footing with everyone else. She lived the rest of her life out in the church, at some point she died, and went where all saved people go, to Heaven. The Roman Catholic ‘assumption of Mary’ is a complete fabrication not found on any page of any Bible.

You see, Mary was just like you and me, completely human and completely dependent on the God she served for every good thing in her life. She is a model of humility, and as such, would be appalled if she could come back and see the lies said about her. There is only one Person born sinless, and that’s Jesus, and He shares his glory with no one. The Roman Catholic Church has created an alternate Mary they call the ‘perpetual virgin’, and 100% of what they say about her cannot be proven by scripture. There are no records of any miracles performed by her, or any miracles performed that she had a hand in.

There was a time when Mary and Jesus siblings came to visit Him, and there were so many people that they could not gain access. So it was told to Jesus that Mary and His siblings were outside and wanted to see Him. How did Jesus respond to that request? Take a look for yourself:

“Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.” Luke 8:19-21 (KJB)

Jesus said that anyone who heard to word of God, and did what it said to do, was just as close to Him as His own mother and His own siblings. This is the exact opposite of how Mary is portrayed by the Roman Catholic Church who has turned her into the ‘4th part of the Trinity’. The Bible shows you the real Mary, the Roman Church shows you the pagan Mary who herself has become a god. Which one do you think is the real Mary?

In 1854, Pope Pius IX issued a decree about their “virgin Mary’, and in that writing he declared that Mary was equal with Jesus Christ. Pope Pius IX said about Mary “Let all the children of the Catholic Church, who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin. Let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless.” Do you believe the popes, or do you believe the Bible? Pick one.

Today, we entrust our beloved Pope emeritus Benedict XVI to our Most Holy Mother Mary, that she may accompany him in his passage from this world to God, said Pope Francis.

People get mad when I say that the Roman Catholic Church is not a Christian Church, and that it does not teach Bible doctrine. But guess what? It’s not, and they don’t. The stunning proof of that occurred this weekend at the Vatican, and it was committed by the man they call the ‘Vicar of Christ’, who is considered to be ‘infallible’ when speaking on matters of the Roman Catholic Church. What did Francis do? He committed the soul of Pope Benedict XVI to the care of the ‘Virgin Mary’ to bring him home to Heaven. Oopsie, wrong answer, enjoy eternity.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:3-6 (KJB)

The Mary in the Bible who gave birth to Jesus was a wonderful, Godly woman who is perhaps the greatest role model for women in the found anywhere in the Bible. But you will not find, anywhere in the Bible, a single person who prayed to Mary, who asked her advice, or who sought her intercession on any matter great or small. In fact, the Bible says that she needed a Saviour like all of us do, so that means she was a sinner who needed to be saved. When she died, Mary’s soul went home to be with the Lord, no doubt about it. But since her homegoing she hasn’t heard or answered a single prayer for anyone, living or dead, on the face of the earth. Mary is not part of the Godhead, and because she’s not, she does not assist in any way in the ‘journey to Heaven’ of anyone. That’s something only God can do.

“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Luke 1:46,47 (KJB)

But how does a soul get to Heaven when they die? According to the Bible, that happens when a person trusts the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing else, and by trusting in His death, burial and resurrection on the third day according to the scriptures, they become born again. Jesus says in John 3:1-5 that the only way to enter into the Kingdom of God is to be born again. This is not ‘secret knowledge’ or some deep and hidden truth known only to handful on initiates, it’s the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is the only way to Heaven. So what on earth is Pope Francis doing ‘entrusting the soul’ of Benedict to the ‘most high Virgin Mary’? He’s committing blasphemy while teaching a false gospel at the same time. If you are trusting the ‘Virgin Mary’ to take you home to Heaven, you will be quite surprised at where you actually wind up. And it’ll be hot, very, very hot.

Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary next Friday, the Vatican said. The consecration will take place during the Celebration of Penance in St. Peter’s Basilica.

The biblical Mary is an amazing woman, and a beautiful picture of submission to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ who created her. Yes, that’s right, I said Jesus Christ created Mary, John 1:3 (KJB), before placing Himself in her womb to be born as a man. The biblical Mary was a sinner who need the Saviour just like you and I do, Luke 1:47 (KJB), her heart was ‘desperately wicked” just like your heart and my heart was before we got saved. Mary in her lifetime performed no miracles, John 2:5 (KJB), never presided over anything in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, and never answered anyone’s prayers. In fact, the biblical Mary had 6 other children as we read in Mark 6:3 (KJB). Now let’s meet the “other Mary”, that Pope Francis is consecrating Russia and Ukraine to on Friday, March 25th..

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Jeremiah 7:18 (KJB)

The Bible calls the “other Mary” the queen of heaven, and she is a queen just like Jezebel in Revelation 17 is a queen. The queen of heaven is someone who usurps the authority of Jesus Christ by setting herself up as the ‘gateway to salvation’. This other Mary is the one who is worshipped by the Roman Catholic Church, the one whom the Vatican declared to be sinless in 1854. On Friday, Pope Francis will pray to his god and ask that Ukraine and Russia be placed under the spell of the queen of heaven, and the way things are going, I am thinking that the Devil will answer that prayer.

For the first 30 years of my life, I was a baby-baptized, scapular-wearing and confirmed Roman Catholic, trained for a dozen years in the finest Jesuit and Franciscan schools in New Jersey. Then I got amazingly saved by hearing, believing and receiving the gospel of the grace of God by reading John 3:16 in an old black-backed, red-edged, King James Bible from the Gideons. If you are a Roman Catholic reading this right now, I invite you to throw away your idols like the ‘immaculate scared heart of Mary’, and receive Jesus Christ directly as God’s free gift to you.

Eternal Life Through the Shed Blood Of Jesus Christ Is A Free Gift That You Can Receive Right Now

Pope Francis to consecrate Russia, Ukraine to Immaculate Heart of Mary

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “The same act, on the same day, will be performed in Fatima by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner,” the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said in a statement. Krajewski is being sent there by the pope. He was in Ukraine last week at the request of the pope to show concern for its citizens. The papal almoner performs works of mercy on behalf of the pope. A nation that is consecrated is set aside for a holy reason. The word “entrustment” will often be used synonymously with the word consecration.

On Friday 25 March, during the Celebration of Penance at 17.00 in Saint Peter’s Basilica, I will consecrate #Russia and #Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. #PrayTogether #Peace

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) March 15, 2022

Consecration to Mary is defined by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship as recognizing the “singular role of Mary in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church, of the universal and exemplary importance of her witness to the Gospel, or trust in her intercession and of the efficacy of her patronage.” The bishops of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine had asked the pope to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary last month in a letter.

 “In these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible ordeal for our people, we, the bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Ukraine, are spokesmen for the unceasing and heartfelt prayer, supported by our priests and consecrated persons, which comes to us from all Christian people to dedicate Your Holiness our Motherland and Russia,” the letter reads.

“Responding to this prayer, we humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Sacred Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fatima.”

 A press release on the Vatican website explained that in 1917 in the central Portuguese town of Fatima, “Our Lady [the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus] had asked for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, stating that if this request were not granted, Russia would spread ‘its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecution of the Church.’”

 The Fatima apparitions of 1917 are some of the most famous Marian apparitions of the Catholic Church. Three secrets were revealed by Mary through the appearances. The second secret was that World War I would end, but that another world war would begin during Pius XI’s reign if people continued to offend God and Russia wasn’t consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. There have been additional consecrations to the Immaculate Heart of Mary since 1917.  Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the entire Church and world to Mary three times during his pontificate. READ MORE
