Subject: Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. |
Bible Note: Crossman, "But do you never answer my question about worshiping mary?" Because I don't worship her. You are under the misapprehension that I do. "Why is mary so important to you?" Because she is the Mother of Jesus, my Savior and whoever He loves I love. Could I ever honor Mary more than God the Father who chose her to be the mother of Jesus, the Son, who obeyed and fulfilled the commandment to honor his mother, and the Holy Spirit who over shadowed her so that she conceived the Son by Him? "Where does it say you must worship mary?" It doesn't and I don't. But is does say in Luke 1 that all generations will call her blessed and I do. "Where does it say she reunites God and man?" It doesn't and I did not say she reunited anyone or anything. God and man are united in Jesus Christ. Nor did I ever say anywhere that Jesus is not her Savior, since He is. "Mary is a vessel who carried the Holy Spirit..." Mary also carried the Second Person of the Holy Trinity for nine months in her womb, "blessed is the fruit of your womb," and the Lord knows how long in her arms. Quite a few privileges bestowed on her by God I would say. Who else in the Bible comes even close? It appears to me you have a lot of misinformation received from biased sources or misunderstandings about what Catholics believe. Don't believe everything you hear and be careful not to misinterpret what you may see. Emmaus |
