Who is the Queen of Heaven.

Soloman and Bathsheba are 'types' for Jesus and Mary.

Do you think Jesus honours His mother less than Soloman?

Pax et Bonum

Christ is risen!
Alleluia!

a) It's not "Soloman", but "Solomon". Can't you even get his name right?
b) This "types" of Jesus and Mary is nonsense. I have heard that rationale used for all kinds of false doctrine. You want a type? Okay... The golden calf is a type of Mary! When Moses was up on the mountain receiving God's word, the people erected a false deity instead. The golden calf is clearly a type of Mary.

Solomon never responded in this fashion... Matthew 12:47-49, "Someone told him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to speak to you.” To the one who had said this, Jesus replied, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?” 49 And pointing toward his disciples he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!"

Jesus is not denigrating his mother here, she is His greatest disciple.. He is raising those who do the will of the Father to a relationship with Him as intimate as hers..

Why are you trying so hard to dis Mary? Do you think Jesus likes that?

If you compared my my mother to the golden calf, id probably punch you in the nose..

Happily, Jesus is much more merciful than I..

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;

my spirit rejoices in God my savior.

For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.

The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.

He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.

He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly.

The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty.

He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,

according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."

Christ is risen!
Alleluia!

 

[Truther]

Show me in the Bible where the queen (mother) sits at the right hand of the king.

Jesus can do what He wants to do; of course that means He is doing His father's will.

There is nothing in the Bible that supports the myths about Mary. She was a teenager chosen to give birth to Jesus (and His brothers). Nothing more.

Yes, Jesus has been given all of his Father's power.

That is simply your interpretation. I disagree with it.

Alleluia!

"If you compared my my mother to the golden calf, id probably punch you in the nose.." Very Christian of you -- not! No question that "Jesus is much more merciful than [you]"! He would never have punched anyone in the nose!

I am not "trying so hard to dis Mary"? I am opposed to the unScriptural elevation of Mary far above what Scripture says, equivalent to worshipping the golden calf. She was a teenager selected to give birth to Jesus and His brothers and, along with Joseph, did a fair job raising Him. Nothing more than that according to the Bible. Sola scriptura!

Dear Jim,

No one is saying Mary is God.

Further, we cannot honour her any more than God already has in choosing and forming her to be His mother..

Everything Mary is, flows from Who Jesus IS!

It is God who elevated Mary to her position, not men..

And do you think HE took less care in creating the Ark of the New Covenant than He ordered the Israelites to do in making the Ark of the Old Covenant?

Pay to all their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, toll to whom toll is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

Pax et Bonum

Christ is risen!
Alleluia!

The most reasonable assumption for the Queen of Heaven is Asherah. They (the Jews) referred to her as a the Queen of Heaven because of what they thought she did for them. There is a lot of historical information about Asherah and her relationship with Yahweh. And some read Yahweh's favor of her in the Bible as the High Places that were allowed to remain...(sometimes) and there are several refences to her fertility worship areas. Asherims, groves, sacred pillars, etc. There is obviously a contentious relationship going on and He seems to speak to her and never denies that she exists. Of course this is all open to interpretation.

And I must point out that Yahweh and Asherah are both fertility beings in their own right....Asherah's fertility aspect is blatantly sexual and Yahweh uses amazing reproduction as a promise....your seeds will be like the dust of the earth.

The contentious relationship between Yahweh and Asherah was known to the pagans and in stone they reference Yahweh and His wife Asherah. A lot of extra-biblical information on her and a lot of direct and possible indirect references to her in the Old Testament....And the Jews seemed to worship her a lot. She was known for her wisdom??

Was Solomon speaking of her when He wrote this...

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.” Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. Proverbs 4:5-10
Solomon died shortly after building temples to the goddess....the smartest man that ever lived?

For the Bible only people....it is best to keep it simple...and write her off as an evil false god.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”

Do you just cut and paste the same dogma over and over and over? Why???

One of these posts is actually true: God sets His truth in His church, in the possession of His apostles to safeguard, to ensure it is not added to, or taken away from, or changed in any way! The trouble is that there is so very much that has been added to by the Catholic denomination that the truth of the Bible can barely be found. Everything from the false idolization of Mary to the false idolization of the Pope to depicting Jesus as still on the cross to the denial of the bread and wine to non-Catholics to the worship of idols to the prayers to Mary and the "saints", etc. It has all been added to and changed from the Bible that it is not even recognizable.

BTW, did you see my post about how the diocese of Santa Fe NM has to pay an enormous sum -- $121.5 million -- to settle with the victims of pedophile priests? Were they excommunicated? Of course not! The RCC covered it up!!!

[Jim B]

I agree no idol worship worship a allowed! Only the one true God may be adored!

kissing is not worship but veneration and intent to worship is required for worship!

love prayer devotion veneration are not worship or idolatry!

Veneration definition:

Veneration is similar to worship or respect: we feel veneration for things and people we adore and are devoted to completely. This is a strong word. The main meaning is for a type of religious zeal: if you unquestionably believe in your religion, then you feel and show veneration for your god and beliefs.

I'm glad that you finally wrote that "Only the one true God may be adored!" So now you're admitting that the adoration of Mary is false!!!
