Who Is Queen Of Heaven

[kwikphilly]

Hi Jerry,I was raised Catholic and I mean no disrespect for any practicing Catholic,I would imagine there are those that understand Mary was the human being who was chosen by God to bear Jesus,she conceived Jesus by immaculate conception but went on to have other children in the conventional way.....by Josephs seeds.

      In my years of instruction by a semi cloyster order of nuns I was taught to worship the Queen of Heaven,The Blessed Virgin.Holy Mother Mary and so on.....I always had to stay after school because I did not want to pray to a dead person....they insisted Mary could hear my prayers which is in direct opposition of Gods Word.....

     I am so glad that this did not sit right with you ,just remember that God is not a God of confusion,pray that your friend will receive revelation and just hold fast to Gods Word.The Catholic Bible(usually printed by The Catholic Press,inc)is the old Testament in the Douay-Challoner Text with the New Testament and Psalms in the Confraternity Text,edited by Rev John P O'Connell in the 1950's( this one among other similar versions are commonly used.The Latin Vulgate had many theological censors,may I suggest you ask your friend to compare to the King James Version.

    Personally in my search as a young adult I was very surprised to find so many additions and omissions in my Catholic Bible in comparison to the KJV which I feel is a very good tranclation from the early Greek and Hebrew.

    There is only one WAY to the Father......Jesus Christ.......Stick with Him ,Jerry and nothing else matters!

Sometimes the Catholics refer to Mary as "The Queen of Heaven" but that is not Biblical.Mary was a sinner just like you and me.

There isn't one.

Jerry, the protestants like us get all our beliefs from the Bible. The Catholic Church started adding traditions as a basis for belief. So many times their sinful habits, such as bowing down before images, became doctrine accepted as truth. They also added traditional old wives tales as doctrine. They think that Mary was born without sin and then ascended into heaven like Jesus! When the Catholic reformers, godly monks and priests, tried to get the catholic church to repent, they were kicked out of the church as heritics. Many were martyred for believing the truth of the Bible. Catholics believe you can be saved by good works, for instance. That is why their pope recently announced that athiests can go to heaven by their good works. While the other priests corrected him for this, it is still believed by many Catholics. They also teach that we must suffer in purgatory for our sins before being worthy of going to heaven. This is also not taught in the Bible. Salvation is by grace through faith, a gift of God. I do know that there are many Catholics who believe the truth. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. Whereever the Bible is preached there is a remnant of believers. Some stay in that church because they have family that remain there. Others, like kwik, leave that church to find one that preaches the truth of the Bible more correctly.

Blessings,

was it not that the Roman Catholic Church accepted Mary's ascension pretty late on, like 1800s? Ex cathedra in action. Although, knowing in the past the pope's bastards ran in the halls of Vatican in great numbers, makes it at times difficult to maintain the idea the man himself would be vicar of Christ. 

 

Worshiping what is not God may open us for the demonic because idolatry is no minor offense. It is only through God of the Holy Trinity we may be blessed by the actual meaning of the word blessing, otherwise it is more or less occult. This should be repented but how to express such in a fruitful way? Spiritual issues are always a sensitive matter, especially if there is a demon attached to the subject in question, it will raise a hell if not directly rebuked and commanded to shut up and sit still before cast out.
