THE BLESSED MOTHER MARY? BY RYAN HICKS © 1996-1999 Ryan Hicks |
The pagan church, the Roman Catholic Church, has exalted Mary, Jesus' mother, unto a place of a goddess or semi-deity. They call her the Queen of Heaven in the face of the Scriptures clearly showing the Queen of Heaven to be a pagan goddess (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19, 25). They assume that she is blessed above all people and has special access to Jesus. Yet, when the Bible is examined we find that Jesus destroys the idol "Mary" and reveals that the true Mary, the humble, human Mary of the Bible is no greater than anyone else that believes on the Lord Jesus Christ. This is clearly seen in the Scripture below.
Luke 11:27-28 (KJV)
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
