Mary: The Queen of Heaven? BY RYAN HICKS © 1999 Ryan Hicks |
Many pagan cultures worldwide have worshipped a goddess they call the "Queen of Heaven." The Roman Catholics are no different, except they pretend that the goddess they worship is the Mary of the Bible, the mother of Jesus.
Even in Taiwan there is a temple that was built in 1684 in order for worshippers to be able to worship Taiwan's goddess of the Sea, Matsu. The temple is seen in the picture below and is called "The Ta Tien Hou (Great Queen of Heaven) Temple." The pagans have worshipped the idol goddess, the Queen of Heaven, for centuries and the Catholic's calling her Mary does not change the fact that she is the same old pagan mother goddess and not the Mary of the Bible, the mother of Jesus (not God, for Mary was the mother of Jesus' humanity but had no role in birth His deity which is eternal and not created like the pagan Roman Catholic "Jesus").
There are many, many proofs that the Catholics worship the same pagan goddess as Mary and even call her the Queen of Heaven. Below are a few examples of places and things named by the Roman Catholics.
The Church of Mary Queen of Heaven has the following for a prayer to Mary and a Hail Mary (http://users.erols.com/dmyles/prayer.htm):
The Church of Mary Queen of Heaven Prayer
Oh Mary. Queen of Heaven. Mother of God. Bride of the Holy Spirit. We beseech thee. Please forgive us our sins. Please lay your motherly hands upon us and allow us to suckle at your breast that gives eternal life. Show your Son who was first. You begot a God and gave him life. Without you there is nothing. Oh Mary! Queen of all goddesses. Mother of all gods, great and small, we are your devoted worshipers. Mary we pray to you so that you may take our prayers to your son and change His heart. Amen.
THE HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, distributor of all graces the Lord listens to you.
Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed are the cakes of bread we offer you. [See Jeremiah 7:18-20]
Holy Mary, mother goddess, co-redeem us sinners now
and at the hour of death. AMEN
This is all too typical of the prayers and worship of Mary. They so utterly pervert her role in birthing the Lord Jesus Christ that they assume God could not have brought the Saviour into the world without her. They make her into a goddess and esteem her in practice above God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They may falsely claim that they really worship God, but the above proves that is not the case.
The pagan false goddess Mary, Queen of Heaven, stands over the grave of the Frank and Mary Trapp (d. 1912, 1915) and family.
Sadly many people have been duped into worshipping the pagan goddess Mary. This is not the Mary of the Bible, the mother of Jesus (not mother of God, for God has no beginning or birthing. Jesus was and is fully God, but Mary was His mother by flesh not by spirit.). Repent of such wickedness and idolatry and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Follow the Scriptures and "keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21).
