1 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | Mommapbs | 47591 | ||
Greetings Hank! Thanks for the information. I've read some of the dialogue about the "Queen of Heaven" on the Forum. I appreciate your boldness, yet I think we must be very careful to separate Mary, the mother of Jesus from Mariolatry. Our Catholic brothers and sisters have depended upon the teachings of men rather than the teachings of the Holy Spirit and as a result, they have a difficult time discerning the difference. I always try to encourage Catholics to REALLY LOOK at and STUDY God's Word to see if what they have been TOLD to believe is WHAT GOD REALLY SAYS! Needless to say, I've been thinking anout the "Queen of Heaven" as reference in Jer 7:18-20 and Jer 44:25 - 28. The Jer 44 verses reference 2 Kings 25. I found it very interesting that the people who were left in the land continued in their disobedience by not sumitting to the authority that God had established over them and fled to Egypt. I suspect that a parallel can be drawn from this with regard to the Church chooing "man made doctrine" apart from God's Word, as well. Hence, we have the queen of heaven being worshipped today! I need to process this a bit but would appreciate your insight on the possible connection. Blessings, Mommapbs |

Hi Mommapbs, I haven't considered or read the queen of heaven ideas. I agree with you about your Jeremiah references speaking to the contrast between walking in God's word and walking after their own counsels. Jeremiah 7:23, "But this I commanded them, saying, "Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which (I) command you, that it may be well with you." Yet they did not obey or incline the ear, but walked in THEIR OWN counsels... Jeremiah 44:23, "Because you have burned sacrifices and have sinned against the Lord and not obeyed the voice of the Lord or walked in (His) law, His statutes or His testimonies, therefore this calamity has befallen you, as it has this day." Then Jeremiah said to all the peoples, including all the women, "Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are in the Land of Egypt,..." Jeremiah 44:28, "And those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs." From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! Thanks for your reply!How goes the battle? I remember when our son was going through chemo (including spinal injections of that stuff too) he spent a lot of time playing computer games - it was about all he could do at times! In most of his games there was a certain feature that enabled the player to beat the villan and win - our son referred to it as "The God Code!" (He used it a lot!) What a perfect illustration of our life in Jesus - we too have THE God Code! I hope this little remembrance from my son's fight will encourage you today! "Greater is He who is in you!" In the love of Jesus, Mommapbs |
