Bible Question:
Catholics say that Mary was the mother of God and that she is the queen of heaven. You may agree you may not. If someone could show me in the bible, where it say she is the mother of God. We do know that Jesus was known as the Son of God, meaning God being His Father. He was also known as Son of man, which I maybe wrong aplies to mary, being that she was a woMAN or huMAN. Also when we accept Christ in our life,we to recieve His Holy Spirit, But the man Jesus you see is you and me. For example if you have a bottle of red wine and you pour some into a glass and some into a mug is it not the same wine. Just like Jesus we become a temple for the Holy Spirit. |
Bible Answer: The reason why catholics consider mary as a mother of God because it was taught to them, and thier members believed even without trying to find out whether it is true or not. The bible clearly stated that mary was the mother of Jesus when He was in the human form. Nowhere in the bible stated that God needs or has His own mother otherwise it is God created His own mother. I respect Mary as a mother of Jesus in His human form but not as a mother of God: Lu 1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. Most of the catholics believed in traditions instead of the bible, they did not consider the bible as a sole authority, for them Bible is not enough in term of doctrine for salvation. But scriptures said:Isa 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. The catholics has thier own dogma, so what thier church said even it is not in the bible they going to believed it. For example the black cross, here in the Philippines, they taught that if you kiss that black cross some hundreds of your venial sins was forgiven, if we look that doctrine it is nowhere in the bible but they embrace it and believed it.
