The 'blessed virgin Mary'

[robert derrick]

mary is his mother not wife
And in the kingly line of david the mother of the king is always the queen
Lk 1:32-33 Jesus is the king so Mary must be the queen

Always?

David had no mother queen. Solomon had no mother queen.

Don't read any Scripture of Jesus having a mother queen.

Neither was Vesta a Mother and queen of Rome.

So the 'Queen Mary' is purely a construct neither by Scripture nor the religion of Rome.

The only queen in the New testament of Christ is of course Mystery Babylon the Great:

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

So, this is an example of how the devil uses the Sacred traditions of men, posing for Christianity, in order to state himself plainly for who they are being led by.

After a while, the devil gets tired of the smoke and mirrors, and just comes right out and says he is the one they are speaking of:

Mother and Queen Babylon the Great, claimed by the Roman Catholic religion.

 

[theefaith]

God made Mary what she is and you are blasphemy against God and Christ

The founders of the Roman Catholic religion made the mystical Mary what she is: Vesta of the Roman religion.

The virgin birth is Scripture, which the leaders of the religion of Rome accepted for cover in their keeping the Sacred Fire of Vesta going, which they now call the Sacred Womb of the Virgin Mother of the earth and fertility: 'Mary' in name only.

The Sacred traditions of the Roman Catholic religion are the continued religion of Rome, which certain Christian teaching and names and titles adopted as a front for themselves, when Constantine made Christianity the official state religion, rather than the religion of Rome of old.

Rejecting the religion of Rome dressed with Christian garb is not blasphemy to the true God of Scripture.

Though it is indeed blasphemy to the ancient religion of Rome and the Sacred traditions thereof.

Which bothers me not in the least.

there is only one church Jn 10:16 founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles Isa 22 21:22 Matt 16:18 18:18
This church and kingdom of Christ Lk 1:32-33 conquered the Roman Empire dan 2:44 Isa 2:2 micha 4:1

mary is queen rev 12:1
We are her spiritual children rev 12:17

Bathsheba was queen mother to Solomon

1 kings 1:15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the Lordthy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the Lord.

16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

See a good son obeys his mother as Christ always obeyed Mary Jn 2

A good tree!

Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The fruit of the tree of Mary is our salvation! Lk 2:30 Jesus is our salvation!
Lk 1:30 Mary found our salvation!

Blessing from God thru Mary!

All graces come to us they Mary, from God by the merits (blood) of Christ!
Jn 1:16
Of His fullness we have all received, grace for grace!

Salvation Lk 1:30
Consented to our salvation Lk 1:38
Mother of Christ Matt 1:16
Mother of the word Jn 1:1
Mother of our savior Matt 1:21
Mother of our salvation Lk 2:30
Our mother Jn 19:26-27

Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit!

Lk 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

John sanctified in the womb!

Lk 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

Lk 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

Zacharias is filled with the Holy Spirit and prophecy!

Lk 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

The wedding couple have wine and not shame!

Jn 2: 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

The disciples are supplied with faith, hope, and charity!

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

All these blessings from God because of Mary most holy!

Mother of Divine Grace!

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The throne of Grace is the throne of Mary the ever Virgin mother of God!

We come boldly to this throne cause Mary is our mother and advocate!

Mary is the storehouse of divine graces!

Lk 1:28
And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed be thou among women.

All graces come from the merits of Christ, from His passion and death and come thru Mary to the glory of Her only begotten Son!

 

[robert derrick]

there is only one church Jn 10:16 founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles Isa 22 21:22 Matt 16:18 18:18
This church and kingdom of Christ Lk 1:32-33 conquered the Roman Empire dan 2:44 Isa 2:2 micha 4:1

The One church of Jesus Christ is built by himself, who's foundation is laid by all the apostles in the doctrine of Christ given to them according to the Scriptures.

When Christianity was made the state religion of Constantine, then the Pontifex Maximus and the collegia of priests of the religion of Rome, took upon themselves certain true Christian teachings, such as the virgin birth of Christ, and certain names from Scripture, in order to prevent that ancient religion of Rome from passing away as other pagan religions were in the process of doing.

And so the ancient religion of Rome continues to this day in Christian garb, called the Roman Catholic religion.

All the Sacred Roman Catholic religions are from the religion of Rome, while the new names used for them are from the Bible.

And so those who hold to those Sacred tractions are worshippers in the old pagan religion of Roman, while giving lip service to Christianity.

Blessing from Saturn through Vesta!

All graces come to us and divinity by Vesta bestowed upon her christ child! Who's blood was by her and for her and to usward!

Mother of her earth and dirt! Mother of her Ever-Virginity! Mother of her Sacred Womb! Mother of her created christ! Mother of her given saviour! Mother of her granted salvation! Mother of her divine grace to usward!

Let us all come boldly to her Sacred Womb, storehouse of all her graces and Sacred merits!

Without her there was no christ, but now by her there is a christ of her Sacred choosing!

She was before him with Saturn, divine spirit of cosmos, and she is with him as Virgin Mother and Sacred Queen.

He obeys her as good son and christ, and so should we!

Blessed by most Holy Roman and Catholic faith divine, upon who's Sacred traditions we stand and live!

And may her Sacred Fire and Pontifex burn and reign forever over her Mother's children!

The Mother and the spirit say come. Repent of Scripture only, and hold to Sacred tradition firmly!

Else the Blessed Mother and Goddess of earth and fertility be angered, and her wrath be made known from her Sacred ark in heaven!

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

[robert derrick]

Vesta: Virgin Mother Goddess of earth and fertility.

House and womb of Saturn.

Mother of Gods.

Mother of the eternal sacred fire of Rome.

And later for Christian show, Mother of the Virgin Birth of her own christ.

so the catholic religion did not begin until Constantine?

No. It began about 600 year B.C. in the earliest Roman Monarchy.

It was transformed into the Roman Catholic religion during Constantine, by way of Christian appearances, in order not to pass away from the earth completely.

So, you should be proud, because your religion's roots go back further than that of Christ and His apostles, as well as that of the Jews religion, after they rejected Jesus as the Christ.

Of course not. I was referring to the hymn to Vesta in the name of Mary.

Pretty obvious, I would think.

Grace and truth come by Jesus Christ, and through the sacraments of Rome come the religion of Rome in the name of Jesus Christ:

The Roman Catholic religion.

The church and the seven sacraments are necessary for salvation.

I don't know how to bear witness to an old pagan religion dressed in Christian garb, better than that.

Good job.

The Catholic church and it's seven sacraments are necessary for sustaining the old Sacred fire of Vesta and religion of Rome.

It's a church that saves it's own by having salvaged it's religion from Christianity, through Christian speak.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.

 

[theefaith]

No. It began about 600 year B.C. in the earliest Roman Monarchy.

———

A sacrament is an outward efficacious sign instituted by Christ to give grace. Jesus Christ himself is the sacrament, as he gave his life to save mankind. His humanity is the outward sign or the instrument of his Divinity. It is through his humanity that the life of the Trinity comes to us as grace through the sacraments. It is Jesus Christ alone who mediates the sacraments to allow grace to flow to mankind.

Christ sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to inspire his Apostles and his Church to shepherd his flock after his Ascension into heaven. "As the Father has sent me, even so I send you" (John 17:18, 20:21). Jesus is the Head of his Body the Church (Colossians 1:18). The Church itself is a sacrament instituted by Christ to give grace. Jesus gave us his Body the Church to continue the works he performed during his earthly life. Grace given to us through the sacraments will help us lead a good life in this world and help save us for the Kingdom of Heaven.

The sacraments were instituted by Christ! The Church celebrates in her liturgy the Paschal mystery of Christ, his Passion, Sacrifice on the Cross, Resurrection, and Glorious Ascension. The Greek word μυστήριον or mystery in the Greek New Testament is translated into sacramentum in the Latin Vulgate Bible, from which we derive our English word sacrament (examples: Ephesians 1:9, Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:27). The saving effects of Christ's Redemption on the Cross are communicated through the sacraments, especially in the liturgical celebration of the Eucharist.

The seven sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The three sacraments of Christian Initiation are Baptism, Chrismation or Confirmation, and the Eucharist. The two sacraments of Healing are Penance and the Anointing of the Sick, and the two sacraments of Vocation are Holy Orders and Marriage. Three sacraments, Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, and Holy Orders, are given once, as they render a permanent seal or character upon one's soul (2 Corinthians 1:21-22,

The Gospel of Mark 5:25-34 describes a woman afflicted with hemorrhage who touched the cloak of Jesus and was immediately healed. There is a fourth century fresco painting in the catacomb of Sts. Marcellinus and Peter depicting this event, which serves as an apt symbol of Sacrament - the power that flows out from the body of Jesus, in order to effect both remission of sin and new life in Christ. The fresco image frames Part II of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Liturgy and the Sacraments, The Celebration of the Christian Mystery. St. Thomas Aquinas, in the Summa Theologica, has written the standard exposition on the Seven Sacraments.

Each sacrament consists of a visible external rite, which is composed of matter and form, the matter being the action, such as the pouring of water in baptism, and the form being the words spoken by the minister. Each sacramental rite confers a special ecclesial effect and sacramental grace appropriate for each sacrament. The sacraments occur at pivotal events and give meaning to a person's life.

The sacraments act ex opere operato, by the very fact of the action being performed, independent of the minister. The effect on the person receiving the sacrament is called ex opere operantis, and depends on the interior disposition of the receiver.

Grace is a favor, the free and undeserved gift from God through Christ Jesus, to help us respond to his call to become children of God, to become partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life. Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is a participation in the life of God and is necessary for salvation.

 

[theefaith]

I have no objection to referring to Mary as the blessed virgin Mary, because every saint in Christ Jesus presented to the Lord, shall be a blessed and chaste virgin (2 Cor 11:2).

All that abide in Christ therefore can be fairly addressed as the blessed virgin 'so and so'.

The only One in heaven that is and ever shall be noticeably and visibly distinct from all others is Jesus, who stands as a slain Lamb in the midst of the throne(Rev 5), i.e. the prints and marks of His crucifixion shall remain in His resurrected body for all to see, as a perpetual reminder of His cross.

Other than Himself, the 12 Apostles of the Lamb, aside from Judas and including Paul, shall be specially remembered in the foundation stones of heavenly New Jerusalem, having their names written in them. Likewise the names of the 12 tribes of Israel shall be remembered by being written on the gates of the that City.

Other than these examples, I see no other blessed saint with Jesus in heaven that is recognized by God as 'special' to Himself and His ministry. None shall be better or worse, higher or lower, honored more or less, nor specially named than any other...

Does anyone know why believers in Jesus are so intent on falsely making Mary a 'perpetual' virgin on earth after she gave birth to Jesus? I know it is a false teaching and woefully vain worshipping, but my question is why?

Mary was already blessed in Lk 1:28 before consenting to our salvation

perpetual virgin


The Bible never says anyone is a biological child of Mary accept for Jesus Christ!

And the Bible says Her child is holy! And Her child is God!

Is 7:14 God provides a sign, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son! (Singular, one son)

Ezekiel 44:2 “This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut.”

Song of Solomon 4:12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

(Mary had become the dwelling place of the Almighty, like the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament. Mary was a vessel consecrated to God alone?)

Matt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

(The Bible says only the Holy Ghost conceived in Mary)

Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
(A son singular) (only Jesus is savior)

Lk 1:28 Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee!

Blessed art thou amongst all women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
(The fruit of Her womb is blessed and holy)

Lk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
(A son, singular)

Lk 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
(This verse imply’s a vow of perpetual virginity, She refuses even the exalted dignity of mother of God and mother of our savior if it means violating Her vow of perpetual virginity)

Lk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
(Her son is God)

Matt 1:25 He knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

2 Samuel 6:23 tells us: Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child UNTIL the day of her death.

Are we to assume that Michal had children after she died?

Until only states that they had no relation up to that point, the Bible does not say they had sex ever, before or after that point!

First born does not imply a second born. An only child is still first born!

 

[robert derrick]

do you believe catholic dogma?

Of course not. I know what it is now after listening to you and your people.

I no more believe Catholic sacred traditions about 'Mary', than I do about the Roman religion of Vesta, which are one and the same by different names.

I'm a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ and His gospel according to the Scriptures.

Doesn't mean I can't be impressed by the salvaging of the Roman religion by your Catholic founders, with the use of partial Christian truths and names, while other pagan religions were passing away.

Sacraments instituted by Christ for the salvation of souls!

Not by “faith alone”
“Faith alone” not biblical
“Faith alone” never given in prophesy in the OT.
You may think “Accept Jesus Christ as you personal Lord and savior” is biblical but there is no such verse in your bible!

Not by “faith alone” “Faith alone” not biblical. “Faith alone” never given in prophesy in the OT. You may think “Accept Jesus Christ as you personal Lord and savior” is biblical but there is no such verse in your bible!

And Scriptural proof of doctrine of God became necessary, when?

Afterall, nowhere does Scripture prophecy nor declare Mary Ever-Virgin Mother of God and Queen of Heaven with Scared Womb to boot.

The hypocrisy of them that reject Sola Scriptura is never plainer here.

Nevertheless faith alone is indeed dead (James 2). We must be doers of the Word and not hearers only (James 1). And the Word is written in all Scripture for us to read, hear, and obey.

The closest the Sacred traditions of the religion of Rome come to Scripture, is by Christian names and teachings dressing it up for cover.

there is no such verse in your bible!

True, it is our Bible. Not yours. But we do appreciate you looking into things for us. Outside help isn't always bad.
