mary is only queen of Jesus is king not the other way around!

the mother of the king is always queen

ordinary no!

unique! Yes!

only one temple of God not made with hands, only one handmaid of the Lord!

only one mother of God!
Only one immaculate conception!
Only one virgin-mother!

and the Lord is with Her! Lk 1:28
You obviously do not understand my post. Mary is not a queen in her own right because she was a common girl - not royalty like our Queen Elizabeth and neither is she the wife of a King so is not queen either way. She is not married to either God or Jesus which would be incest.

I dare you get before God and ask Him to show you if you are going wrong. If you are on the right track already you have nothing to lose but if you are way off this prayer in all humility will give you a wonderful new life.

the mother of the king is queen

and Mary is royalty!

Son of David the king: royalty!

Matt 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

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.

Matthew 9:27
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

Matt 12:23
Matt 15:22
Matt 20:30
Matt 20:31
Matt 21:9-15 etc.

Romans 1:3
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

House of David the king:

Lk 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

Received the kingdom of David:

Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Christ is King, Mary must be queen!

Only a queen can bear a king!

A Royal greeting!

Lk 1:28 is the only place in the Bible where such a greeting takes place!
Mary is of the tribe of Judah and the royal house of David the king!

God himself is greeting Mary thru the instrument of the angel Gabriel!

This is a Royal greeting of the queen of heaven and earth! Queen of the angels and saints! Mary is of the house of king David!

In the line of king David the mother of the king is the queen, as Jesus Christ is the king of heaven and earth and the angels and saints so Mary is the queen of the same! Lk 1:32-33

The mother of any king is automatically queen and rules half the kingdom!
The queen mother!

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

29 And when she had heard, she was troubled in his word, and thought what manner salutation this was.

30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God.

Mary is mother of mercy and the throne of grace!
heb 4:16

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!

Queen of heaven
In the line of david’s kingdom the mother of the king is always queen!
Jesus is king Lk 1:32-33
And Jesus is the king of heaven & earth & all the angels & saints, so Mary is queen of heaven & earth & all the angels & saints!

so Mary too is the fruit of the merits, virtues, & graces provided by Christ! Lk 1:47 Mary also saved by God



2 Tim 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

2 Tim 2: 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. How much more Mary who was prepared by God thru the immaculate conception! Lk 1:49

Heb 2:7

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands

Rev12:1 woman clothed with the sun.
Crown of stars = queen Mary

Jesus I trust in you!
Jn 14:6 of course

Mary is our queen and spiritual mother!

@theefaith I am not going to say any more about your belief. It is unproductive as you are so deep in your conviction. I will never convince you about a loving relationship with Jesus in this way. Nobody preached at me but just pointed me in the right direction until I found him for myself. Of course the Holy Spirit had a hand in it, unbeknown to me at the time, but looking back I can see how he led me to that place of acceptance. I do so pray that he will lead you to that place also in due time. If you want to talk privately about it you can PM me.

And this is what showed me that even though I was a believer I wasn't a Christian.

According to scripture
You need to rephrase this

According to what YOU ARE TOLD scripture says.

remember, your not authorized to do private interpretation, your to blindly follow what your church tells you.

You should nt come at people who actually study the word, who do as Paul said, to test all spirits, Who agree with Paul that scripture is God breathed and is about to make the man of God thoroughly furnished for every good work. And tell them you, who are told what to believe, are trying to teach them what the word says.

It makes you look bad

We belong to him because we ask him. I am his and he is mine. Can you say that? It is the only way to be a Christian rather than just a believer.

no!

it’s not a social club with Bible study

it’s a covenant!

You seem to be calling me a liar. I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine. His banner over me is love. It is you who are missing out @theefaith you are missing so much love and closeness to God because you choose Mary above all.

World = Universal = Catholic


The church is Apostolic:


Matthew 16:18-10
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Luke 22:28-30
You [the apostles] are those who have continued with me in my trials; and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

John 15:16
You [the apostles] did not choose me, but I [Jesus] chose you and appointed
you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide...

Matthew 28:16,18-20
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee... And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.

John 20:21-23
Jesus said to them [the apostles] again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.

Ephesians 2:19-20
... but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.

Acts 1:
Matthias replaces Judas who had the ministry of apostle.

Heb 3:11 Acts 1:
Jesus is an apostle, the apostles are already in succession to Him, they in turn would have successors.






Christians must be instructed in “the faith”!

Truth must be revealed by God, and in its fullness in the sacred deposit of faith by Christ to his church! Eph 4:5 Jude 1:3 and must be taught by the church, or proposed for our belief by the apostles!
Matt 28:19-20 Lk 1:4 Jn 20:21 acts 8:31
Rom 1:5 col 2:7 1 Tim 3:15 matt 18:17

Christ and His church are one! acts 9:4
Acts 5:32 Jn 15:1-5

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, so send in you. (The apostles) posses the same power mission and authority as Christ!

Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...

John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18
matt 28:19 Jn 20:21-23 Isa 22:21-22
eph 2:20

Ephesians 5:24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ...

The one true church’s teaching authority from Christ is without error!

A divine institution: founded by Christ on Peter and the holy apostles and their successors unto the end!

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!

Christ and His church are one! Jn 15:1-5 Acts 9:4 eph 5:32

Church has authority from Christ!

Church is free from all error!
I'm sure some of us pour over the encyclopaedia....there is just so much information in there.
Maybe I should post portions of it? ......for the uninformed of course!

Why do Protestants have

Sunday school?

camp meetings?

tent revivals?

Wed nite prayer meeting?

1st Sunday holy communion?

None are in scripture

feel free to add your own!
I liked Sunday school, Camp meetings, Tent revivals. They are all Good. who could say such was anything but good.
Any day, time or place is a good day to talk about Jesus Christ. The more we talk about Jesus Christ the better I say.

True and theefaith does not believe in a personal relationship which is obvious to all who have that.
He can't understand that there is absolutely no collusion between those of us who know Jesus from wherever we are in the world; complete strangers to each other and yet brethren because of Jesus; not always agreeing on everything but joined in Spirit to each other and to God. He mistakenly believes that only Catholics are true church. I suppose it wasn't his fault he was taught those Catholic dogmas and beliefs from an early age but it is his fault now if, after all he has heard from the rest of us concerning true Christianity, he refuses to listen to God speaking through us and chooses to reject Jesus.

Anyone who is born of God.

By grace through faith. NOT WORKS>

no the “man of God” is a bishop / apostle leader of the people of God

did Christ earn and merit all graces by his blood and death on the cross?

eph 2:8 who’s faith is referred to here?
