Too Much Mary

Do you know where in the Bible God called his Son Jesus "God?" [Answer: Hebrews 1:8] and then calls Himself "God?" [Answer: Hebrews 1:9].

And where in the Bible did God call his Son Jesus "Lord" and declare Christ (as) the Creator? [Answer: Hebrews 1:10].

THE supreme importance of Jesus Christ - contrasted to the one frequently referred to as "the virgin Mary" [temporarily "virgin," relating to her birthing not only Jesus as her first-born but not only-born son among the other brothers of Jesus, according to Luke 2:7 and Luke 8:20] - is indicated all throughout Scripture.

It is Jesus - not Mary - who established Himself as the Lord, and who (in The Burning Bush) spoke to Moses with the words: "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58).

Mary is never once mentioned as an Intercessor. The Holy Spirit, in contrast, is declared Intercessor by Saint Paul in Romans 8:26-27. Jesus Himself is declared Intercessor by Saint Paul in Romans 8:34. But Mary is never declared Intercessor who we should or need to blasphemously petition (as if she was some pseudo-divinity or Assistant to Divinity) we must go through to get to God indirectly. There is no hiding behind a woman's skirt when dealing with the Almighty. No beating around the bush. Mary herself would want to seriously slap up anyone who prayed to her [I am NOT kidding; you would NOT want to enrage a feisty young Jewish woman like Mary who was already agitated enough by all she had gone through!], with the stern rebuke and command to "Worship God and not me" (Acts 10:26 and Revelation 22:9).

Who is the One who died on a cross and thus atones for the sins of the penitent? He is Jesus....not Mary.

Is Mary the Womb blessed, who gave suck to Jesus (Luke 11:27)? On the contrary. "Blessed rather are those who hear the Word of God, and keep it" (Luke 11:28).

NO where in Scripture does it indicate that Jesus ever prayed to nor petitioned Mary. In contrast, He frequently prayed to His Father in heaven.

Whenever Jesus spoke to His mother, he called her "Woman" within such passages as "Woman, what have you to do with Me? My hour has not yet come" (John 2:4) and (while hanging on a cross) "Woman, behold your son" (referring to Mary and John of John 19:26). Disrespectful? Not really. Matthew 15:22-28 and Mark 7:25-29 records that Jesus did not even initially pay attention to a pleading [dog] woman whose daughter was possessed by a demon.

It is true that Mary is considered blessed throughout all generations (Luke 1:48) for being chosen to birth Jesus. Keep in mind, however, she neither birthed the Father nor the Holy Spirit who not only always had existed previous to Mary but also created Mary through her ancestral parents in Eden...and it that sense she is in NO way "the mother of God."

Indeed, the Divine nature of Jesus did not originate from Mary, but instead came from His Heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit who conceived Him in Mary's uterus.

Mary was merely a human tool God used to bring the Messiah into the world, and not co-Savior with Christ to us. Mary was commissioned by God to birth Jesus, and had she refused, God would have commissioned someone else. Had Mary tried to suffocate, strangle, or stab Jesus after He emerged from her vagina, an angel of the Lord would probably have struck her dead before she could do so, as the Death Angel had done to the firstborn of Egypt (Psalm 135:8 and Psalm 136:10), 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night (II Kings 19:35 and Isaiah 37:36), residents of Jerusalem (I Chronicles 21:16-30), and the murderer Herod (Acts 12:23).

Colossians 1:17 informs us that in Jesus Christ "all things hold together." He is the scientific glue of the entire universe, who (not which) keeps matter together, light constant, plus both matter and energy separate yet unified. It goes beyond credibility that a pathetically-helpless suckling infant lying in a manger and nursing at Mary's breasts was keeping the universe coherant, answering prayers of the saints, judging angels, etc. in that nearly-unconscious infantile state. Certainly mother Mary could not and did not take over as Master of the Universe nor God of Heaven at the time. Of necessity, Christ was being maintained by the Father and the guardian angel Christ's Heavenly Father appointed to protect the infant Lord against all adversaries at that time.

It is against God's will to go blasphemously idolatrous with Mary-worship or Mary-adoration diversion and deviancy. To respect a pure virgin, and women as the weaker-sex inferior gender (I Peter 3:7) in general.....is one thing.....but let's not succomb to sexism by idolizing Mary with false-and-cultic-religion satanic submission to feminist chauvenism and anti-Scriptural matriarchy.
