Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

Anathemas concerning holy images

1. If anyone does not confess that Christ our God can be represented in his humanity, let him be anathema.
2. If anyone does not accept representation in art of evangelical scenes, let him be anathema.
3. If anyone does not salute such representations as standing for the Lord and his saints, let him be anathema.
4. If anyone rejects any written or unwrittentradition of the church, let him be anathema.

• the God-spoken teaching of our holy fathers and
• the tradition of the catholic church —
• for we recognize that this tradition comes from the Holy Spirit who dwells in her–
• we decree our Lady without blemish, the holy God-bearer...

Got it.

“YOUR” Catholic ‘salutes’ to statues

* Your Have NOT, revealed ANY of this teaching Comes FROM THE WORD OF God.
* You Have NOT, revealed whatever a Catholic “statue salute” is.

* You CLAIM, this TRADITION, is FROM the Holy Spirit, that IS “IN” Mary....
LOL....so the Holy Spirit that was “IN” Mary, (never told Mary to bow down to Statues?)
LOL...AND? Why is the Holy Spirit .... NOT IN YOU ... telling YOU to bow down to Statues?

IT DOES NOT SAY THAT!

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:

our queen!
Only a queen can give birth to a king!

How sad...very sad, that for generations corrupt Gentiles have been teaching and preaching another Gospel.

* Scripture gives men Gods Word of Truth.
* Gods gives men Gods Understanding of God Word of Truth.
**Gentile men FOR centuries have been giving men “MANS UNDERSTANDING” of “MANS TRUTHS”....then DECREEING, “IF” a MAN rejects “the MANS” UNDERSTANDING......HATE THAT MAN WHO REJECTS!

Obviously, YOU FAIL to notice:
* the TRIBES OF ISRAEL, (broadly) DO NOT accept Jesus as their Christ Messiah...
* God DOES NOT “FORGET” ALL the TRIBES of “ISRAEL”, “GODS PEOPLE”
* THE ENDING of the WORLD, (as we I know it, IS ALL ABOUT,
God DELIVERING FORTH “HIS PEOPLE” ISRAEL. SAVING THEM, along with EVERY Gentile who has BECOME SAVED, (while in their living Body), having BECOME “CONVERTED”, (through, by, of CHRIST!)

* Mary is NOT the WOMAN in Revelations...
* The WOMAN in Revelations IS THE “NATION OF ISRAEL”...
a SHE, FEMALE, FEMININE ...

Is it a secret to you, that NATIONS are call by a Feminine connotation?
Did you never WONDER, why...people say...Motherland? Mother Earth?
Did you never KNOW, the Song of Prayer to God for America...?
“this is my country.... stand beside HER, guide HER” ?
Did you never KNOW, land, country, TRIBES OF ISRAEL, ARE NATIONS?

Did you Never KNOW, Joseph distinguished the TWELVE TRIBES as STARS?
Gen. 37:9
Did you Never KNOW, it is WISDOM from God to UNDERSTAND, the WOMAN in Revelations IS THE NATION OF ISRAEL, wearing a Crown of TWELVE Stars, is the TWELVE TRIBES, BEING DELIVERED OUT OF BONDAGE OF “THIS” corrupt World, INTO receiving their Salvation IN CHRIST; BY THROUGH, OF the Son of God?

You have fallen for another Gospel, that MAKES Mary, “your intercessory”...that without her intervention...you can not be saved...which is false.

The Word of God and the Power of God, SAVED the souls of earthly Men, for centuries before Mary was ever born.

You have been duped.

Did Jesus change the commandments
He is God and has authority to do so
The church exercises His authority

Matt 16:18-19 whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven

Matt 5:
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (God commanded)

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Authority of Christ)

Jesus came to earth, to ACCOMPLISH Gods WILL, BY FULFILLING.

What UTTER nonsense teaching that Jesus Changed Commandments.

You are deceived, to teach, AUTHORITY, means “authority to Change Gods Word”.

AUTHORITY IS AUTHORIZATION....TO SPEAK, TO TEACH, TO PREACH...
Expressly LIMITED TO ........ Gods WORD!
(NOT MAKE UP whatever you feel like teaching, preaching; that IS NOT Gods Word)...

What a load of nonsense.

[Bruce Atkinson]

So much reverence and obedience to the 'traditions' of the Catholic Church brings to mind a couple of verses. Here's what Jesus had to say about traditions and doctrines of men:

Matthew 15:1-9 (KJV)
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mar 7:3-13 (KJV)
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Note especially verse 13 above. Catholics speak so highly and frequently of their belief in the traditions of the Catholic Church. Jesus clearly states that those so called 'traditions' are nothing more than vain worship honoring Jesus with their mouth but in their hearts there is no honor. That seems to me what all the false doctrines of Mary and foolishly claiming that she is specifically referenced in Genesis through Revelation is doing. It's been said by many that Jesus is on every page of the Bible. Apparently, Catholics seem to think it's Mary that's on every page, not Jesus, other than their vain worship.

Jesus also goes on to speak of vain repetitions of prayers, immediately followed by what is commonly called 'The Lords' Prayer'. How many quadrillions of times has that been repeated verbatim in the Catholic Church? It's a model for prayer, not a rote-repeated 'droning'. Ditto for 'Hail Mary'. Meaningless, and heartless, and foolish repeated droning on and on.

Mat 6:7-13 (KJV)
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 

[theefaith]

Vain repetition yes
But the means repeating within a single prayer not repeating prayers!
Christ prayed THREE times!
Let this cup pass
And our venerable prayers are not “vain”

tradition? What traditions?

large T tradition the handing down of thee faith?
Or small t tradition as in customs?

be specific please


Mary and all the saints grace, virtues, and merits are from God’s infinite goodness mercy and love and they end in the God glory!

Not by nature but by supernatural grace!
Mary and the saints are what God made them not according nature but by the supernatural grace of God!

Glory to God for His mighty works and grace and mercy in His saints!

To praise Mary and the saints is to glorify God!
