  9. Angelyn Chow Mary was a sinner not perfect. Yes, I do agree though she was specially chosen by God the Father to bear his precious son Jesus, but that's it. Indeed she was a very humble woman and always pointed to her son Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation and said she rejoiced in God her Saviour read the gospel of Luke in your Bible around chapter 38. God Bless you.

  13. QI : Mary the mother of Jesus was described by God as “highly favored” (Luke 1:28). The phrase highly favored comes from a single Greek word, which essentially means “much grace.” Mary received God’s grace. Grace is “unmerited favor”; that is, grace is a blessing we receive despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Mary needed grace from God and a Savior, just as the rest of us do. Mary herself understood this fact, as she declared in Luke 1:47, “My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” The virgin Mary, by God’s grace, recognized that she needed the Savior. The Bible never says that Mary was anyone but an ordinary human whom God chose to use in an extraordinary way. Yes, Mary was a righteous woman and favored (graced) by God (Luke 1:27–28). At the same time, Mary was a sinful human being who needed Jesus Christ as her Savior, just like everyone else (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 John 1:8). The virgin Mary did not have an “immaculate conception.” The Bible doesn’t suggest Mary’s birth was anything but a normal human birth. Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus (Luke 1:34–38), but she was not a virgin permanently. The idea of the perpetual virginity of Mary is unbiblical. Matthew 1:25, speaking of Joseph, declares, “But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.” The word until clearly indicates that Joseph and Mary did have normal sexual relations after Jesus was born. Mary remained a virgin until the Savior’s birth, but later Joseph and Mary had several children together. Jesus had four half-brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). Jesus also had half-sisters, although they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:55–56). God blessed and graced Mary by giving her several children, which in that culture was accepted as the clearest indication of God’s blessing on a woman. One time when Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd proclaimed, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed” (Luke 11:27). There was never a better opportunity for Jesus to declare that Mary was indeed worthy of praise and adoration. What was Jesus’ response? “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it” (Luke 11:28). To Jesus, obedience to God’s Word was more important than being the woman who gave birth to the Savior. Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus or anyone else direct any praise, glory, or adoration toward Mary. Elizabeth, Mary’s relative, praised Mary in Luke 1:42–44, but her praise is based on the blessing of giving birth to the Messiah. It was not based on any inherent glory in Mary. In fact, after this Mary spoke a song of praise to the Lord, extoling His mindfulness to those of humble state and His mercy and faithfulness (Luke 1:46–55). Many believe that Mary was one of Luke’s sources for the writing of his Gospel (see Luke 1:1–4). Luke records the angel Gabriel visiting Mary and telling her that she would give birth to a son who would be the Savior. Mary was unsure how this could be since she was a virgin. When Gabriel told her that the child would be conceived by the Holy Spirit, Mary answered, "I am the Lord’s servant. . . . May your word to me be fulfilled. Then the angel left her" (Luke 1:38). Mary responded with belief and a willingness to submit to God’s plan. We, too, should have such faith in God and trustingly follow Him. In describing the events of Jesus’ birth and the response of those who heard the shepherds’ message about Jesus, Luke writes, "But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). When Joseph and Mary presented Jesus at the temple, Simeon recognized that Jesus was the Savior and gave God praise. Joseph and Mary marveled at what Simeon had said. Simeon also told Mary, "Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34–35). Another time at the temple, when Jesus was twelve, Mary was upset that Jesus had remained behind when His parents had left for Nazareth. They were distressed in looking for Him. When they found Him, still in the temple, He said He must be in His Father’s house (Luke 2:49). Jesus returned to Nazareth with His earthly parents and submitted to them. We are told, again, that Mary "treasured up all these things in her heart" (Luke 2:51). Raising Jesus must have been a perplexing endeavor yet also filled with precious moments, perhaps memories that became more poignant as Mary came to more fully understand who Jesus is. We, too, can treasure in our hearts the knowledge of God and the memories of His activity in our lives. It was Mary who requested Jesus’ intervention at the wedding of Cana, where He performed His first miracle and turned water into wine. Even though Jesus seemingly rebuffed her at first, Mary instructed the servants to do what He told them. She had faith in Him (John 2:1–11). Later in Jesus’ public ministry, His family grew concerned. Mark 3:20–21 records, "The crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, 'He is out of his mind.'" When His family arrived, Jesus proclaimed that it is those who do the will of God who are His family. Jesus’ brothers did not believe in Him prior to the crucifixion, but at least two of them did afterward—James and Jude (Judas), the authors of the New Testament books bearing their names. Mary did seem to believe in Jesus throughout His life. She was present at the cross when Jesus died (John 19:25), no doubt feeling the “sword” that Simeon had prophesied would pierce her soul. It was there at the cross that Jesus asked John to serve as Mary’s son, and John took Mary into his home (John 19:26–27). Mary was also with the apostles on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:14). However, Mary is never mentioned again after Acts chapter 1. The apostles did not give Mary a prominent role. Mary’s death is not recorded in the Bible. Nothing is said about Mary ascending to heaven or having an exalted role there. As the earthly mother of Jesus, Mary should be respected, but she is not worthy of our worship or adoration. The Bible nowhere indicates that Mary can hear our prayers or that she can mediate for us with God. Jesus is our only advocate and mediator in heaven (1 Timothy 2:5). If offered worship, adoration, or prayers, Mary would say the same as the angels: “Worship God!” (see Revelation 19:10; 22:9.) Mary herself sets the example for us, directing her worship, adoration, and praise to God alone: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is His name” (Luke 1:46–49).

  14. Why not go directly to Jesus?

  15. But God says to go to Jesus not His mother blessed though she was.

  17.  Joe D  she didn't walk the road with Jesus he did that on His own. Why do you need Mary to intercede for you when we are told in scripture to approach the throne of grace with confidence (that's God alone not Mary)

  18.  Joe D  'every religion prayers for the dead?'. Yes buddists do but Christians are told to pray to God alone as He is worthy. Protestants do not pray for the dead as its unscriptural.

  19.  Joe D they are still God's chosen race, but you're right a lot of them today are godless.

  21.  Joe D there's no purgatory. Its either heaven or hell. You are a bit unfair on Luther. He did some good work on insisting the Bible be in the language of the people.

  22.  Joe D  thats a bit uncharitable of

  23. you to say protestants have little relief in purgatory a place that does not exist. Protestants as well as Catholics can go to heaven based on the finished work of Christ.
    1
  24. the books that were removed didn't give glory to God alone. No mother of Jesus, saint or dead person can help you get to heaven by praying for them or to them to supposedly get to Jesus indirectly nor can you pray anyone out of so called purgatory. Sadly that's the reality. God Bless.

  25.  Joe D  this is an answer I found on quora as it helps a lot. 'As a real Christian, I stay as far away from catholicism as I can. It does not obey Scripture at all, and they don’t even know what Scripture says. Just because some people call themselves Christians doesn’t mean they are. I have looked up the books. Apparently, there are more than 7: . 1 Esdras 2 Esdras Tobit Judith Additions to the Book of Esther Wisdom of Solomon Prologue to Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach Baruch Letter of Jeremiah Prayer of Azariah Susanna Bel and the Dragon Prayer of Manasseh 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees . Books that were not canonized (made part of the Bible) are for good reason. Here are some reasons why the [catholic] apocrypha was not canonized. [Comments in brackets and italics are mine]: “The Roman Catholic Church did not officially canonize the Apocrypha until the Council of Trent (1546 AD). This was in part because the Apocrypha contained material which supported certain Catholic doctrines, such as purgatory, praying for the dead, and the treasury of merit.” [which either contradicts Scripture or where Scripture outright condemns them.] “Not one of them is in the Hebrew language, which was alone used by the inspired historians and poets of the Old Testament.” “Not one of the writers lays any claim to inspiration.” [That is, being inspired by the Holy Spirit, because “all Scripture is God-breathed” 2 Timothy 3:16] “These books were never acknowledged as sacred Scriptures by the Jewish Church, and therefore were never sanctioned by our Lord.” “They were not allowed a place among the sacred books, during the first four centuries of the Christian Church.” “They contain fabulous statements, and statements which contradict not only the canonical Scriptures, but themselves; as when, in the two Books of Maccabees, Antiochus Epiphanes is made to die three different deaths in as many different places.” “The Apocrypha inculcates doctrines at variance with the Bible, such as prayers for the dead and sinless perfection.” [Prayers for the dead are forbidden in Scripture, and there is no such thing as sinless perfection in humans. This is against Scripture. Only God is sinless and perfect]. “The apocrypha contains offensive materials unbecoming of God's authorship.” “It teaches immoral practices, such as lying, suicide, assassination and magical incantation.” [All these are sins that are forbidden in Scripture]. “The apocryphal books themselves make reference to what we call the Silent 400 Years, where there was no prophets of God to write inspired materials.” [There is no way that man can know what happened in those 400 years between the Old and the New Testaments because God did not reveal it to anyone.] “Josephus rejected the apocryphal books as inspired and this reflected Jewish thought at the time of Jesus.” “The Manual of Discipline in the Dead Sea Scrolls rejected the apocrypha as inspired.” “The Council of Jamnia held the same view and rejected the apocrypha as inspired.” “Although it was occasionally quoted in early church writings, it was nowhere accepted in a canon. Melito (AD 170) and Origen rejected the Apocrypha, (Eccl. Hist. VI. 25, Eusebius) as does the Muratorian Canon.” “Jerome vigorously resisted including the Apocrypha in his Latin Vulgate Version (400 AD), but was overruled. As a result, the standard Roman Catholic Bible throughout the medieval period contained it. Thus, it gradually came to be revered by the average clergyman. Still, many medieval Catholic scholars realized that it was not inspired.” “The terms ‘protocanonical’ and ‘deuterocanonical’ are used by Catholics to signify respectively those books of Scripture that were received by the entire Church from the beginning as inspired, and those whose inspiration came to be recognized later, after the matter had been disputed by certain Fathers and local churches. [speaking of which, Scripture commands that we are not to call anyone “Father” except our biological father. Matthew 23:9] “Pope Damasus (366-384) authorized Jerome to translate the Latin Vulgate. The Council of Carthage declared this translation as ‘the infallible and authentic Bible.’ Jerome was the first to describe the extra 7 Old Testament books as the "Apocrypha" (doubtful authenticity). Needless to say, Jerome's Latin Vulgate did not include the Apocrypha.” “Cyril (born about A.D. 315) - ‘Read the divine Scriptures - namely, the 22 books of the Old Testament which the 72 interpreters translated’ (the Septuagint)” “The apocrypha wasn't included at first in the Septuagint, but was appended by the Alexandrian Jews, and was not listed in any of the catalogues of the inspired books till the 4th century.” “Hilary (bishop of Poictiers, 350 A.D.) rejected the apocrypha (Prologue to the Psalms, Sec. 15)” “Epiphanius (the great opposer of heresy, 360 A.D.) rejected them all. Referring to Wisdom of Solomon & book of Jesus Sirach, he said ‘These indeed are useful books & profitable, but they are not placed in the number of the canonical.’" (Source: Roman Catholic and Orthodox Faith Examined and The Apocrypha) . I respectfully and strongly advise you to stay away from any books that are not canonized. They’re lies and they’re poison.

  28.  Joe D  here is an answer about praying for the dead. "Does the Bible indicate that the living should ever pray for the dead? Is there any chance that those on earth can help those in the next world? The Bible says there is no basis whatsoever of the living praying for the dead. The following points can be made. 1. Condition After Death Determined In This Life Where we go after we die will be determined in this life. Jesus said to the religious leaders of His day. I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins (John 8:24).
    1
  29.  Joe D  the Jews are the apple of Gods eye. Fair enough but I go directly to Jesus my Lord and saviour. If you want to defy the Bible and what it says that's your business. John says of Jesus in his gospel 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the father except by me". That's the reason I don't pray to saints or Mary is that they have no power. Jesus never says 'pray to my mother'. He is the only one worthy of praise along with his father Abba and the Holy Spirit. Others on earth can be intercessors ie you can ask other saints in your church to pray for you for intentions

  30. Sarah Jane, Mary the mother of Jesus Christ did not die on the Cross for our sins. Jesus says 'I am the way, the ttuth and the life' and he never said that Mary his mother was the way, the truth and the life. Mary was the most humble of maidens and never ever gave any glory to herself. She readily admitted she needed a saviour. Please read your bible God Bless and I didn't say any of this out of disrespect for your Catholic faith, as I myself was a Catholic for almost 26 years until I started to truely study the Bible in more depth and found some things proclaimed by the Catholic Curch were not scriptural and then I left and joned a more Bible Believing Church in 1994.

  35. No Change Possible He also said that no one could pass from the place of the unrighteous dead to the place of the righteous dead. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us (Luke 16:26). 3. Judgment After death comes judgment. Condemnation for the wicked and rewards for righteous, not purgatory. And it is appointed for humans to die once, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Final judgment is never dependent upon what we do after we die.

  39. ok she also said 'my soul rejoices in God MY SAVIOUR' so what was she saved from? Luke 1:48. Also she sacrificed two turtle doves after Jesus was born why? Because she was not perfect unlike her son Jesus. Mary is very blessed but she's still a sinner. Jesus was human as well as being divine. God ordained marriage so having sex within marriage is not impure or having children is not either. Why would Mary have needed to remain a virgin after she had Jesus and was married to Joseph? Sorty uf this offends you but I am only saying what scripture says. Nowhere does it say 'mother in God' in the Bible but it does mother of Jesus as she was His mother in his earthly form only when He was on earth. 'For all have sinned [including Mary and the saints] and fallen short of the glory of God Romans 3:23.

  45. I am happy with my church and will have to agree to disagree about Mary. We believe she was blessed and a virgin when she had Jesus but after that she married Joseph and they had a normal married life with children.
    1
  46.  @joecastillo8798  you need to stop this. Mary didn't know a man at the time but she did know her husband after Jesus was born. He (Joseph) had no union with her until after Jesus was born. She wasn't super human.
    1
  47.  @joecastillo8798 she also said my spirit rejoices in God my saviour don't know what could be more obvious than that that she wasn't perfect and that is proof. Yes she may well be the woman in Revelation and I'm not denying she was God the Son's mother.

  48.  @joecastillo8798  what's your point? The Bible was written in Hebrew or Aramaic and Greek.

  49.  @joecastillo8798  well I certainly don't need it in Latin

  50.  @joecastillo8798 John the Baptist's parents were not sinless that's made up. I suppose you will say the disciples were sinless next. Mary said in Luke 1:48 my spirit rejoices in God my saviour why did she say that? Jesus was her saviour as he died before her so He was her saviour. Adults were baptised after they make a committment or are saved after they repent. Acts 2:38.

  51. no no no she was a sinner as only God/Jesus/Holy Spirit is sinless and Jesus was born of an ordinary woman.

  52. No matter what I know my Bible said she was a sinner.
    1
  53.  @joecastillo8798  Question: "Was Mary sinless? Was Mary without sin?" Answer: Mary the mother of Jesus was a godly and blessed woman, but she was not without sin. Jesus was the only human without sin. Jesus “had no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21). “In him is no sin” (1 John 3:5). Nothing of the sort is ever said of Mary or anyone else. Jesus Christ is fully human, but He is also fully God (John 1:1). He is the Lamb of God, “without blemish or defect” (1 Peter 1:19), a title and description no other person can claim.

  54. I want to say no more about it all I can do is point to scripture. We will agree to disagree

  55. true
    1
  56.  @joecastillo8798  Rather than teach that Mary was sinless, the Bible gives evidence that she was a normal person with a normal person’s need of salvation. In Mary’s praise-filled, humble prayer in Luke 1, she says, “My spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (verse 47). If she were sinless, she would not have needed a “Savior.” Mary receives a gentle rebuke from Jesus in John 2:4, which hardly seems fitting if she were sinless.
    1
  57.  @joecastillo8798  Catholicism also teaches that the reference to Mary being “highly favored” (Luke 1:28) and one who was “blessed . . . among women” (Luke 1:42) supports the view of a sinless Mary. However, neither verse makes such a claim. It is possible to be blessed and know God’s favor without being sinless. Catholic teaching also describes Mary as “full of grace,” but that phrase is found only twice in the Bible, and neither time is it in reference to Mary. Jesus is said to be “full of grace” (John 1:14), and so is Stephen (Acts 6:8). The veneration of Mary in Catholicism and some other liturgical religious systems has led to the unbiblical claim that Mary was without sin. Other unbiblical doctrines have also cropped up around the view of a sinless Mary: the teaching that she was a perpetual virgin, that she hears and answers our prayers, that she shares in our

  58. The veneration of Mary in Catholicism and some other liturgical religious systems has led to the unbiblical claim that Mary was without sin. Other unbiblical doctrines have also cropped up around the view of a sinless Mary: the teaching that she was a perpetual virgin, that she hears and answers our prayers, that she shares in our redemption, and that she is a mediator of grace, to name a few. Those who revere a sinless Mary are being “led astray from . . . sincere and pure devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). I am trying to help you see it from a Biblical point of view by quoting this information. Not trying to say you shouldn't be Catholic but I once was indoctrinated by that stuff about Mary too but on reading some of the aforementioned scriptures I realised I was wrong she was in fact no sinless.

  59. you take away the glory from God by worshipping other Gods such as Mary like God.

  60.  @joecastillo8798  John the Baptist's parents walked in rightousness it never says that they are sinless that's adding to scripture.
    1
  61.  @joecastillo8798 I don't agree based on the scriptures I sent you. You are free to believe she was sinless but scripture says otherwise. Jesus was the immaculate conception not Mary. God Bless. Being saved does not make anyone sinless. God is full of grace and by that grace alone are we saved. Yes, we do good works as a result of being safe. It does not say all have sinned except Mary.
    1
  62. Yes, I do believe we all have original sin and that includes Mary and I have pointed out scriptures showing this fact. I will agree to disagree about Mary based on scripture 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' and Mary said 'my spirit rejoices in God my saviour' even if it was not Jesus until later and she made atonement for her sin and purification when she sacrificed two turtle doves after she gave birth to Jesus. Why should God's grace only be given to Mary? Stephen had this grace also. God Bless.

If there is abuse within marriage it's not a proper marriage anyway anymore. However, remarriage is not necessarily right although some I know think it's fine. It says do not murder in the 10 Commandments so that includes not murdering the unborn.

  75.  Joe D that's not completely true God still has a plan for them and many of the remnant of them are turning to Christ. We are only ingrafted in. Baptism does not save you. How do you know they are not baptised some might be. Pray for them to get saved.
