CDBJ, I would only point out the following in response to your general point. The scripture says "all generations will call me blessed" and that is a prophecy of the Holy Spirit in God's word which Catholic's fullfill. You also quote from the same Gospel of Luke: Luke 11:28: "But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." to which I say Yea and Amen! and again quote Luke 1:38, 45: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done unto me according to your word...Blessed are you who believed that what was spoke to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Luke's verses are complementary, not contradictory. Jesus is not saying His mother is not blessed. He is saying that it is broader than that-all who hear and keep God's word are blessed. In other words, she is an example that all disciples can and should follow. Emmaus |

2 | Is Catholic considered false religion? | Matt 15:6 | CDBJ | 71685 | ||
I do say that Mary was blessed because she was in fact the mother of the humanity of Jesus. I don’t say that she was the mother of God, because God had no mother. She was nothing more then a vehicle Through whom God worked to bring His Son into the world I wouldn’t say that she was lucky, she was blessed, and that being because she was used of God. She is even more blessed because she believed in her Son as to who he was and what he did for her. The fact is Jesus died for her sins the same as he did mine and gave her gave her eternal life the same as he did me only because she trusted and relied on him as her savior. If she hadn’t trusted in the finished work that her Son did on the cross do you think that she still would have eternal like just because she gave birth to Jesus? Did she earn or deserve to be chosen by God to give birth to His Son, other then the fact of her linage? She was chosen because of her relationship to King David, not because she was special, she had to be the one, that why the linage is depicted so carefully in the book of Luke not for her sake but so that Christ would be of the royal linage of his ancestral father David; Jesus is the emphasis not Mary! It a good thing people don’t know where the ground is that Moses stood on while viewing the burning bush if they did they would probably put is in a shrine or something and assume that it had mystical powers! Believers don’t need all that extra gobbledygook, Jesus is alive and He is all that is needed and he wants to have a living meaningful relationship with people. It’s like telling someone that eating stake and eggs, that the burnt toast they are eating is better. Believers have the best there is in the entire universe in the person of Jesus Christ what more can they be offered that they haven’t got. You can always claim along with good old Frank, I Did IT My Way. Mary is definitely blessed but I don’t see her name in the following verses. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Have a nice day, CDBJ |

CDBJ, you can add these to those verses you got there: "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no Saviour." Isa. 43:10-11 "Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." Isa. 45:20-25 I like the KJV myself. I think it is the closest to the original languages. |

David, Very nice point, but I dont think they will understand that. I know they also read that verses you quote, but they just ignore it. It was written anyway: Isa 44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. Isa 44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. For he hat shut thier eyes; and thier minds, so how can you convince these people to look at the word of God if they did not consider they Bible as the sole authority regarding doctrine. As also paul said: 2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. So it is very hard to convince the idolaters to change, if thier god has eyes but cannot see and ears but cannot heard, what do you expect from thier people? God bless, Johnny |

I would agree with you. As an establishment they will never change. Neither will the majority of those in that establishment. However, maybe (just maybe) some few individuals can read these things and change. That's the only reason to show these things to them isn't it?. If just one or two individuals decides to read and obey then our work is done. Wouldn't you agree? | ||||||
