Mother Mary is here to stay

There are so many appearances she has made to different nationalities it is hard to keep track of, and each story is a new compelling adventure of a lifetime. I have not read that many to be honest, but I really like "Our Lady of the Forest" by David Guterson.

She and Ann crossed at a stately pace Carolyn enforced. The others waited and let them walk ahead, though two sentinels followed at the minimum distance for private conversation. In the forest of blow-downs, hung from trees, were crucifixes, rosaries, crepe-paper roses, and a wooden cross clearly carved on the spot by a pilgrim adept with a pocketknife and adept at braiding strips of cedar bark into a rudimentary twine. Along the trail--tucked into the furrows of the firs, spiked into rotting logs with twigs, weighted down under spruce cones and stones--were bits of paper bearing petitions, some in small plastic bags, others in sealed envelopes, others folded into origami birds, others embellished with artwork or calligraphy, and these were collected by a pair of Ann's followers and dropped into mushroom buckets. Set about on stumps and logs were statues of the Rosa Mystica, the Black Madonna, Our Lady of Lourdes, the Infant of Prague, a lamb, Our Lady of Fátima, and Our Lady of Scottsdale. There were also lighted votive candles, miraculous medals, and a variety of small framed photographs--of the pope smiling beneficently, Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Christ beneath his crown of thorns, suffering cryptically. This is a little weird, said Carolyn. All these strange little forest totems. All of this weird religious stuff just sitting out here like this.

There's going to be two more visits, said Ann. Our Lady has promised to come two more days. So twenty-four hours--it's not enough.

Hey, said Carolyn. Don't complain. I got you over that bridge, didn't I? So let's cross the next one when we come to it, okay? We can worry about other stuff later.

Hello.

I am not a Roman Catholic nor Muslim and respect Catholics and Muslims as people, but I have such a hard time with the teachings.... I simply disagree with Catholic's and Muslim's teachings about Mary because the Bible does not support the “ Catholislamic “ teachings involving Mary.

I believe that it is important to realize, that at his death BEFORE Jesus The Anointed died, He said, " WOMAN look at your Son. " Here - - Mary’s younger son, thereafter - took MARY, His mother, alone, away in private - ALONE.

The Greek word is a word meaning SEPARATE, ALONE private.... this word private is the same Greek word used in the verse that says that " no scripture is of any private interpretation "

You will notice that When Jesus mentions Mary's LITERAL Son - in John 19:26- _ The Roman Catholic and Islamics do not take Jesus words as a literal meaning.

The Greek word “ THY " son “ is the word G4675 - σου? - sou / soo = Meaning Of thee, thy: - thine (own), thou, thy. ... This Greek word is used nearly 500 times in the New Testament and it always means Your Own or thy own.

I have noticed that Roman Catholic and Islamics honor Mary because of the great things they imagine about her, considering and demanding that because she was sinless, perfect, holy and pure and SPECIAL - “ Full of grace “ She was the chosen one . But The Prophecy and plan of God was to bring Jesus through the Line Of the sinful, repentant sinner " King David " . It did not specify an importance regarding if the virgin was perfect or sinless or the most holiest and pure-minded woman who ever existed. Or a woman who was living a life with the purpose of being a virgin As the Quran declares here in - Quran 66:12 “And (God sets forth the example for those who Believe) of Mary, the daughter of Heli, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into it through Our Angel (i.e., Gabriel), and she believed in the words of her Lord and His Scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.” (Quran 66:12)

But The Bible does not lay importance on anything regarding that Mary had planned or plotted out her virginity or guarded her chastity. NEVER.
The Bible does not say that Mary had lived a long lifetime or a short life and lived with an important goal and made the personal decision of abstaining and refusing sexual relations or marriage.

We don't even know how old Mary was. - - Mat_1:23 and Luk_1:27 simply say that she was a virgin. - That's it....

The Biblically designed point was to be a descendant of King David, not to be born from a sinless, perfect nun-like, single and never to be planning to be, a sexually active woman. But Mary was planning, plotting wanting sex and Joseph was planning marriage and sex too. And Joseph was instructed to not be afraid to get married and have sex because the child conceived in His new { to be } wife was from the Holy Spirit . And Joseph did not know Mary sexually UNTIL after they were married and Mary had borne Her firstborn son.

Joseph and Mary were plotting, planning and preparing to get married and Joseph was fearful / afraid to take Mary as a wife because she was already pregnant.
Joseph and Mary were not planning to abstain from sex . The Angel knew that they had a marriage plan and told Joseph directly - to not continue to be fearful -- and afraid, about the pregnancy. Obviously, they were worried about their sexual relationship and marriage and sexual future because Mary's sexuality and pregnancy was a very important matter in the relationship because Joseph thought she was already pregnant with someone else’s baby and had lied about the sexual activity. He was afraid, and upset and He was planning on putting her away and terminating the marriage. Because the factual plan in The Bible, was for Mary to be His normal wife sexually.
Have the Roman Catholic and Islamic Mosque - simply added these false things and untruths directly upon the Biblical narrative and have they completely changed the message of God’s word. ? ?

We see Mary's genealogy in Luke 3:24..

REMEMBER - The Original Luke 3:24 simply begins to just simply list and lay out a simple list of names - one right after another after another and so on. The genealogy is ending in verse 23 by simply only naming the name Heli. Then ending verse 23 to 24 - It looks exactly as the following … … . Heli, Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Janna, Joseph, Mattathias, Amos, Naum, Esli, Nagge, Maath, Mattathias, Semei, Joseph, Juda, Joanna, Rhesa, Zorobabel, Salathiel, Neri, Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmodam, Er, Jose, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi, Simeon, Juda, Joseph, Jonan, Eliakim, Melea, Menan, Mattatha, Nathan, David, Jesse, Obed, Booz, Salmon, Naasson, Aminadab, Aram, Esrom, Phares, Juda, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Thara, Nachor, Saruch, Ragau, Phalec, Heber, Sala, Cainan, ArphaX ad, Sem, Noe, Lamech, Mathusala, Enoch, Jared, Maleleel, Cainan, Enos, Seth, Adam, God ._
_
This was why Mary was chosen - The bible makes is clear that it was very crucial for the virgin to be from the seed of David. Her personal planning, plotting and goals of being a virgin or living a lifetime of chastity and staying / remaining a virgin has nothing to do with anything. And we know that She had never planned to be a virgin, She was getting married and Her husband was terminating the wedding because He could no longer have sex with her because she was cheating on Him.
The angel knew that Mary was very afraid, worried and fearful - in Luke 1:30 - the angel told Mary to not be afraid and worried.

Roman Catholic and Muslims honor Mary because of the great things they imagine about her, considering and demanding that because she was sinless, perfect, holy and pure and SPECIAL - “ Full of grace “ She was the chosen one . But The Prophecy and plan of God was to bring Jesus through the Line Of King David. It did not matter who the virgin was, out of the thousands of virgins throughout the land . ... The point was to be a descendant of King David, not to be born from a sinless, perfect woman who had lived a lifetime of virginity and or who plotted, planned and dedicated her life to being a virgin... I never hear Catholic and Islamic doctrine focusing on the Biblical teaching, it is all - only centered around the twisting of the original manuscripts. And Mary is portrayed as a young woman who was planning a marriage, not some older woman who had lived her life as a concentrated woman of God having abstained from sexual activity. As a young woman looking for a husband to marry and have a marriage and sexual relations with a husband .

This was Mary's plan in her mind, her goals and interests and desires was to get married and have sexual relations with a man - NOT to be virgin ! or a nun, like. woman and never have sex or commit a sex act in her life. She was hunting, pursuing, seeking and pursuing, following sexual plan for a relationship with a male. In the eyes of the Roman Catholic and Islamic fantasy of the Mary of Catholic and Islamicism,

How is this a holy woman who was sinless, pure and special; or any different from any other woman who was seeking a marriage, sex and a husband ? ?
I read Gods word and I just can’t see how that the Mary of Catholic and Islam exists. And if Muslims are not interested in the Seed Of king David and Roman Catholics are also not interested - it seems that they make changes of the importance and point of everything in the Bible and modify it to their own personal interests. what do You think ?

Please help me to understand ? IF I am wrong, I ask You to please show me in God’s word.

When Christ was on the cross, He looked down at his mother, and His disciple, John, who was not Mary's other son.
Mary continued to preach. She moved to Ephesus, which is where most historians believe John retired to after being released from Patmos. He lived to be an old man. The only one of the 12 disciples to do so. I believe this is the reason: The only commandment out of the ten, to come with a blessing attached is, Honor your mother and father. The blessing is, And I will lengthen your days. John took care of Jesus' mother when Jesus couldn't.

Mary was still able to fulfill her desire to marry Joseph. She was this wonderful little 14 yr old <(approximate) Jewish girl when she consented to carrying God's child. I asked the girls in my youth group if they would have said, "Yes" to that and they all raised their hands. Then I asked, "What if there was a firing squad in the parking lot ready to mow down every girl that raised their hand".
That is what Mary faced. Stoning to death. But the little girl had guts. It wasn't going to be an easy job raising Jesus. Watching him suffer and die. But she remembered He said He was coming back. And He did.
We venerate her today, but in her day, they killed Christians. Never the less, she spent her life being one and preaching the Good News. Her Son paid our debt, so we don't have to. And He lives.

She was a wonderful woman that has no power, more or less, than we have. There was nothing extraterrestrial about her, no power other than the Holy Spirit power the other disciples displayed. And it returns to God at our demise. She can no more forgive our sins than we can. She is an adored Saint in Heaven and here on Earth, as well she should be. But only God can put our sins behind us, and only because they have already been paid for by His Son, not Mary.
Christ said:
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
Thank Mary in prayer for what she has given us. For allowing herself to be chosen. Ask God to bless her for Christ's sake. She should be Mother of the Year every year.
But pray for forgiveness from our loving father, thru His Son. It was Christ's blood that enabled God to cover our sins, and put them behind Him, once and for all.
And it is a gift. Accept the gift.

Here to stay or always has existed in a predated image persona and just plagiarised /rehashed/ retooled? Let's be intellectually and historically honest:
The historical figure used for Mary was a 100bc harlot who had her son Yeshu through a fling with Roman soldier named Panderas (Panthera).
MARY was not the mother of the Herod era Galilean tax revolter or Pilate era Jorden River Rome revolter christ figures.
PAGAN MYTHOLOGY BORROWED FOR THE IMAGE MARY:
Semiramis, as the female divinity, would be called Baalti. This word translated into English means "My Lady." In Latin it would be translated "Mea Domina". This name becomes the name "Madonna" which is the name by which Mary is often referred. The same reasoning can be applied to the name of "Mediatrix", which Mary is also called. Mary received that title from "Mylitta" (mediatrix) which was one of the names of the Mother Goddess of Babylon. "The Queen of Heaven" is another name for Mary that has been adopted from the pagan Babylonian religions.
EASTER (ISHTAR) WAS THE mother of the morning star -who's father is Baal.
Isis (is said to be Ishtar in Egyptians culture) is the
WIFE OF THE SUN GOD BAAL father of the morning star therefore Isis is Ishtar (easter)
Mary statues with son are actually predated Isis and baby Horus statues.
Do the math: you call Jesus the morning star (baals son). You celebrate Ishtar (easter) where the fish comes out the egg.
You use Isis statues as Mary.
The holy trinity is mystery Babylon revealed as Baal(father), Isis (mother), Morning star Jesus(son who is the myth plagiarized masking worship of the father).
This is why the number of his name:
Baal Jesus=666 in ascll numerology.

You know it is interesting how most people miss the obvious regarding the veneration of Mary and how she is worshipped or venerated as a QUEEN of HEAVEN... We of course were warned in such diverse places such as Jeremiah 44 verse 17,18 and 25 about venerating or worshipping This Queen of Heaven .. Also I find what is said in Jer 7:18 as telling as well.... Further and you might find this interesting Michael as Mary is referred to as the Stella Maris, which means STAR of the Sea which has a certain flair after all one third of the sea or waters ( people’s or faiths) was turned to Wormwood and since the veneration of Mary comes out of the SEA it could be a play on either the Holy SEE Which is the title given to the papacy that comes out of Rome or the slang term Kittim and the obvious Sea connection to the Romans... Either way it is both interesting and telling if one would delve deeper into this Star of the Sea wordplay and meaning...I am sure the deeper that one digs the more incriminating evidence one can come up with....
 
She also becomes the Deuteronomic Code warned forbidden Asherah (mother goddess wooden carved idol) by the Altar.
"You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God".
 
ANY TREE by your altar ...I believe that verse can be found in numbers.... Hmmmm... lol.... Now who was hung on a TREE and Worshipped Or better yet who came out of that TREE not literally but figuratively if not the one who is claimed as her son...It is indeed an abdominal Branch claimed through all the harlots in the bible is it not...The interesting thing is that any who cling to that TREE can’t get close to the altar obviously..
 
And the forbidden Persian(twisted) pillars become quite obvious in the Vatican with those huge Persian Pillars where the Baal sun symbol sits upon.
 
Hello.

Thank You, Dearest The Irish Ram for the very interesting response.

I really enjoyed reading the ideas that You mentioned and I have heard some of these fables before.

But I have never seen any early history before three or four hundred years after Christ that records these fables that You presented.

However, If You read a little more of the actual words of The Bible, as it completes and explains the FULLY RECORDED ACTUAL EVENT, -

We find that the Bible would have stated that Jesus was Mary’s “ Only Begotten “ son. This phrase “ Only Begotten “ son is used through the Old and New Testament many times and it is very important when someone has an “ Only Begotten “ child, to make it very clear in the Bible history.

This term “ Only Begotten “ - Means --- = an only child “ Only Begotten “ son of God

Jesus is never called an “ Only Begotten “ son of Mary and the Bible clearly describes that Jesus had other Brothers and Sisters and that Mary THE MOTHER OF JESUS literally had sons and daughters

The “ First Born “ son of Mary in conjunction to the direct clause that a sexual encounter did happen between a man and woman - but there was a “ First Born “ son that prevented the sex and almost prevented the whole marriage. And until that “ First Born “ son was born - Mary did not have sex.

Until this time passed……….. It is just saying that sex happened and took place and the sexual experiences did not happen until an event happened firstly. The Bible says that Joseph did have six with Mary - But the sexual encounter was not UNTIL she had bore Her FIRST – born son.

Mat 1:25 And knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
This Greek word “ until “ is the word G4219 πότε - pote / pot'-eh

Until = - Means = At what point in time: - + how long or when. = Or AS SOON OR AS LATER AS.
Such as here in - Mar 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, “ how long “ shall I be with you?

It is a HOW LONG time word. That tells of events of circumstances and UNTIL lets the reader know that something is on hold UNTIL a certain time or event is complete or carried out. The sexual event happened, The Bible conveys the sexual experience , saying that Joseph Knew Mary Sexually, BUT NOT - “ UNTIL “ = “ how long “

We have other verses such as Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. In just the next verse - Jesus replied in recognition that these were His actual very own blood relatives - Jesus literally verbally declared that these were His own family members here in the next verse. Verse 4. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

Also, there is - Gal 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
Here the author makes a clear distinction between the Apostles and the Blood brother of Jesus,.
Also there is - Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

as always, when the spiritual brothers “ THE APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES “ are mentioned being together in one place - the author makes make a clear distinction between the Apostles / Disciples and the MOTHER and Blood brothers of Jesus,. As separate from the other disciples….. Always. This is very clear in the Bible.
Also, there is - IN John 7 Jesus is home - at home with His brothers, His Mother / Family / in Galilee: He was hiding out and could not walk around in Judaea because the Jews there sought to kill him. In verse 3 His brothers said unto him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, so that your disciples also can see the works that You do. And verse 5 says that Jesus’s very own brothers did not even believe in him.

His own brothers are telling Him to leave His home in Galilee, and to go into Judaea and show His miracles to His disciples.
Also there is - John 2:12 "After this He went down to Capernaum, He, and His Mother,.. and His Brethren,. and His disciples: and they continued there not many days."

as always and again, the author makes make a clear distinction between the Apostles / Disciples and the MOTHER and the Blood brothers of Jesus,. As separate from the other disciples. We know that Mother Mary “ Mother of Jesus “ was at the tomb / or burial place where Jesus was buried.
As here in - Mar 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Also there is -Mark 15:40…There were women looking afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, And Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and Salome

Here Mary is identified as the "Mother" of James, and Joses, AND Salome;- her daughter.

The Bible leads one to understand that there was a sexual experience between Mary and Joseph and that Mary had other sons and daughters. It deliberately and consciously makes a clear distinction between the brothers of Jesus the other children of His mother - Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and Salome the brothers and sister of Jesus. Catholics ask the question such as “ Why Is Joseph no longer around and mentioned and no longer with Mary. But the reason is because Jesus whole family were not around Jesus for most of His ministry because He was creating problems by debating with the authorities in Israel. All of the Family could only survive by limiting their contact time with Jesus - especially Joseph – a businessman who was a carpenter, trying to make a living.
 
.
Remember that -- Jesus refuses to even address Mary as " Mother " - His " Mother and Brother " are nothing but WOMAN and SON.


I simply can not pretend to be unable to wrap my head around the fact that in John 19:27 - there is a huge contradiction between The Catholic Translation and The King James Translation.

The Roman Catholic Translators purposefully and deliberately, MISTRANSLATED, the verse to conform with their Catholic doctrine about Mother Mary.
John 19:27 - is mistranslated in the Roman Catholic Translation, however, it is correctly translated in the King James .

This is a huge contradiction between the two translation and one of them or both are lying or adding more to the Bible than what the manuscripts say - please remember, John 19:26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. 27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to privacy.
The Roman Catholic translation says that the disciple took Mary to His “ Home ” - but this, not the Greek word for “ Home ” - The Greek word is - 2398 - / idios / id'-ee-os “ OWN “ meaning = Private or Separate: Alone, Apart, Aside, Your) Own (business), private (-ly).

John 19:27 says that the disciple took Mary away, alone, in private, alone and separated Her from Her dying son.

The Greek word 2398 - / idios / id'-ee-os “ OWN “ has nothing to do with “ HOME
The Greek word for “ OWN / ALONE “ MEANING - = Pertaining to one’s own personal self - that is, one's own; MEANING = Private or Separate: Alone, Apart, Aside, Your) Own (business), private (-ly).
This Greek word occurs a total 113 times in the Original Manuscripts and it always means the same exact meaning. Here is how the Greek word “ OWN / ALONE “ - idios / id'-ee-os is used in the same manner - in every single last verse in the entire Bible.

Just like these following nine verses. This is nine verses out of * 113 - And never does this word literally mean someone’s house.
Mar 7:33 And he took him idios / aside / alone from the multitude.
Mat 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his idios / own city.
Mat 14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed.......into a desert place idios / apart / aside / alone
Mat 14:23 { Jesus } ........ went up into a mountain idios / apart / aside / alone to pray:
Mat 17:1 Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, up into an high mountain idios /apart / aside / alone
Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus idios / apart / aside / alone
Mat 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart / aside / alone
Mat 24:3 on the Mount Olives, the disciples came unto Jesuus idios / privately / apart / aside / alone
Mar 6:32 And they departed into a desert place by ship idios /privately / apart / aside / alone


We see that the disciple took Mary away, alone, in privacy from the cross. He never took Her home in the Bible - This is another Roman Catholic mythconception that was changed in the Catholic Translation that contradicts the King James and also the original manuscripts.


Also another mistranslated verse, here in - 1Co_7:2
The women were to have their own idios / separate / individual / private / apart / aside / alone own husbands. And men have {{ heautou themselves “ }} wives. Thy, our, your) -self (-selves), etc.: - herself himself, (thine) own (-selves), (-selves), they, thyself, you, your selves, -selves). Plural Wives.

We see how that Catholics and Muslims and most Trinitarians deceive the readers and refuse to go beyond the single one step of the Trinitarian Translators who were more interested in following the Message of other such as The Vatican Primates in Rome and other various lawyers of their day who are called Church Fathers - These types of fable - ish- fishy – wishy washy “ YEARS AFTER THE FACT “ - quack / mythconception stories about Mary preaching and remaining a virgin and ascending up to heaven in a living bodily form - These types of stories are all made up and propagated and transmitted by people such as the Popes who go about kissing other perverted books such as the Quran that is full of stories similar to the story that You present concerning Mary’s later life.

The Quran is a book of fables and perversions as the original Bible characters are lifted, pirated and stolen and bootlegged right out of the Bible. And this is all that these stories are all about. Fake…. .. Inventions. The truth is, we do not know anything about what happened to Joseph and Mary – The Authors of The Bible absolutely have nothing - ……… NO INFORMATION - is given about Mary. She had no importance in the Ministry and was never even Mentioned anywhere in Gods word.

We know that in the Bible - Jesus would never, ever even consider, out right calling John or anyone as His physical brother. And we know that Jesus would never call Mary His physical mother. He treated His relationship exactly as it was with His adopted father “ Joseph “

He explains all of this in His own words - saying “ Who is my mother, who is my brother. ” Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Even when Mary was sorrowing frantically, worriedly frightened and desperately in turmoil as she searched for Jesus for three whole days. Jesus did not say “ Hey Mom, let’s go preaching together ! No, Jesus blew her off and told her that His business of preaching and witnessing was not her business. Remember = Luk 2:48 and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing in torment and pain. { torment = / odunaō }
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? see ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Jesus had no interest in Mary’s sorrow / torment and pain concerning her three day agonizing panic search and panic attacks and horrible fears concerning His whereabouts. The Angel had already explained what Jesus’s mission and purpose on earth was and Mary knew that He was not Her real son, born from conception. - Jesus was rebuking that false, ignorant deceptive, lying perverted Roman Catholic and Islamic spirit that Mary was bringing to Him, just like, He rebuked St. Peter. Saying, My business is not to be concerned about Your ideas- But to do the will of My father.

Outside of this - all we have is imagination. All we have are the doodling, scribbling, scrawling and the squiggles of other men. The Church Fathers.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Sorry about - My mistake about - John 19:27
Catholic. - (DRB) :27. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.

Catholics interpret this twist - As if the disciple was taking charge of the caring for Mary because she was homeless and had no real sexual husband and no other conceived children to care for Her. When the word simply means private, separate, personal - and There is no " HIS " OWN " it is simply alone / private.
Took her to - -== alone / seclusion / solely / private.

Protestant. - (KJV) 27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

As if the manuscripts say that they went to a Home. But the word Home was added. I was wrong about the authors - not the content.
 
Hello.

I am not a Roman Catholic nor Muslim and respect Catholics and Muslims as people, but I have such a hard time with the teachings.... I simply disagree with Catholic's and Muslim's teachings about Mary because the Bible does not support the “ Catholislamic “ teachings involving Mary.

I believe that it is important to realize, that at his death BEFORE Jesus The Anointed died, He said, " WOMAN look at your Son. " Here - - Mary’s younger son, thereafter - took MARY, His mother, alone, away in private - ALONE.

The Greek word is a word meaning SEPARATE, ALONE private.... this word private is the same Greek word used in the verse that says that " no scripture is of any private interpretation "

You will notice that When Jesus mentions Mary's LITERAL Son - in John 19:26- _ The Roman Catholic and Islamics do not take Jesus words as a literal meaning.

The Greek word “ THY " son “ is the word G4675 - σου? - sou / soo = Meaning Of thee, thy: - thine (own), thou, thy. ... This Greek word is used nearly 500 times in the New Testament and it always means Your Own or thy own.

I have noticed that Roman Catholic and Islamics honor Mary because of the great things they imagine about her, considering and demanding that because she was sinless, perfect, holy and pure and SPECIAL - “ Full of grace “ She was the chosen one . But The Prophecy and plan of God was to bring Jesus through the Line Of the sinful, repentant sinner " King David " . It did not specify an importance regarding if the virgin was perfect or sinless or the most holiest and pure-minded woman who ever existed. Or a woman who was living a life with the purpose of being a virgin As the Quran declares here in - Quran 66:12 “And (God sets forth the example for those who Believe) of Mary, the daughter of Heli, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into it through Our Angel (i.e., Gabriel), and she believed in the words of her Lord and His Scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.” (Quran 66:12)

But The Bible does not lay importance on anything regarding that Mary had planned or plotted out her virginity or guarded her chastity. NEVER.
The Bible does not say that Mary had lived a long lifetime or a short life and lived with an important goal and made the personal decision of abstaining and refusing sexual relations or marriage.

We don't even know how old Mary was. - - Mat_1:23 and Luk_1:27 simply say that she was a virgin. - That's it....

The Biblically designed point was to be a descendant of King David, not to be born from a sinless, perfect nun-like, single and never to be planning to be, a sexually active woman. But Mary was planning, plotting wanting sex and Joseph was planning marriage and sex too. And Joseph was instructed to not be afraid to get married and have sex because the child conceived in His new { to be } wife was from the Holy Spirit . And Joseph did not know Mary sexually UNTIL after they were married and Mary had borne Her firstborn son.

Joseph and Mary were plotting, planning and preparing to get married and Joseph was fearful / afraid to take Mary as a wife because she was already pregnant.
Joseph and Mary were not planning to abstain from sex . The Angel knew that they had a marriage plan and told Joseph directly - to not continue to be fearful -- and afraid, about the pregnancy. Obviously, they were worried about their sexual relationship and marriage and sexual future because Mary's sexuality and pregnancy was a very important matter in the relationship because Joseph thought she was already pregnant with someone else’s baby and had lied about the sexual activity. He was afraid, and upset and He was planning on putting her away and terminating the marriage. Because the factual plan in The Bible, was for Mary to be His normal wife sexually.
Have the Roman Catholic and Islamic Mosque - simply added these false things and untruths directly upon the Biblical narrative and have they completely changed the message of God’s word. ? ?

We see Mary's genealogy in Luke 3:24..

REMEMBER - The Original Luke 3:24 simply begins to just simply list and lay out a simple list of names - one right after another after another and so on. The genealogy is ending in verse 23 by simply only naming the name Heli. Then ending verse 23 to 24 - It looks exactly as the following … … . Heli, Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Janna, Joseph, Mattathias, Amos, Naum, Esli, Nagge, Maath, Mattathias, Semei, Joseph, Juda, Joanna, Rhesa, Zorobabel, Salathiel, Neri, Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmodam, Er, Jose, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi, Simeon, Juda, Joseph, Jonan, Eliakim, Melea, Menan, Mattatha, Nathan, David, Jesse, Obed, Booz, Salmon, Naasson, Aminadab, Aram, Esrom, Phares, Juda, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Thara, Nachor, Saruch, Ragau, Phalec, Heber, Sala, Cainan, ArphaX ad, Sem, Noe, Lamech, Mathusala, Enoch, Jared, Maleleel, Cainan, Enos, Seth, Adam, God ._

This was why Mary was chosen - The bible makes is clear that it was very crucial for the virgin to be from the seed of David. Her personal planning, plotting and goals of being a virgin or living a lifetime of chastity and staying / remaining a virgin has nothing to do with anything. And we know that She had never planned to be a virgin, She was getting married and Her husband was terminating the wedding because He could no longer have sex with her because she was cheating on Him.
The angel knew that Mary was very afraid, worried and fearful - in Luke 1:30 - the angel told Mary to not be afraid and worried.

Roman Catholic and Muslims honor Mary because of the great things they imagine about her, considering and demanding that because she was sinless, perfect, holy and pure and SPECIAL - “ Full of grace “ She was the chosen one . But The Prophecy and plan of God was to bring Jesus through the Line Of King David. It did not matter who the virgin was, out of the thousands of virgins throughout the land . ... The point was to be a descendant of King David, not to be born from a sinless, perfect woman who had lived a lifetime of virginity and or who plotted, planned and dedicated her life to being a virgin... I never hear Catholic and Islamic doctrine focusing on the Biblical teaching, it is all - only centered around the twisting of the original manuscripts. And Mary is portrayed as a young woman who was planning a marriage, not some older woman who had lived her life as a concentrated woman of God having abstained from sexual activity. As a young woman looking for a husband to marry and have a marriage and sexual relations with a husband .

This was Mary's plan in her mind, her goals and interests and desires was to get married and have sexual relations with a man - NOT to be virgin ! or a nun, like. woman and never have sex or commit a sex act in her life. She was hunting, pursuing, seeking and pursuing, following sexual plan for a relationship with a male. In the eyes of the Roman Catholic and Islamic fantasy of the Mary of Catholic and Islamicism,

How is this a holy woman who was sinless, pure and special; or any different from any other woman who was seeking a marriage, sex and a husband ? ?
I read Gods word and I just can’t see how that the Mary of Catholic and Islam exists. And if Muslims are not interested in the Seed Of king David and Roman Catholics are also not interested - it seems that they make changes of the importance and point of everything in the Bible and modify it to their own personal interests. what do You think ?

Please help me to understand ? IF I am wrong, I ask You to please show me in God’s word.
Our beliefs are based up Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium.

Catechism of the Catholic Church - The Transmission of Divine Revelation

PART ONE
THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

SECTION ONE
"I BELIEVE" - "WE BELIEVE"

CHAPTER TWO
GOD COMES TO MEET MAN

ARTICLE 2
THE TRANSMISSION OF DIVINE REVELATION


74 God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth":29 that is, of Christ Jesus.30 Christ must be proclaimed to all nations and individuals, so that this revelation may reach to the ends of the earth:
God graciously arranged that the things he had once revealed for the salvation of all peoples should remain in their entirety, throughout the ages, and be transmitted to all generations.31
I. THE APOSTOLIC TRADITION

75 "Christ the Lord, in whom the entire Revelation of the most high God is summed up, commanded the apostles to preach the Gospel, which had been promised beforehand by the prophets, and which he fulfilled in his own person and promulgated with his own lips. In preaching the Gospel, they were to communicate the gifts of God to all men. This Gospel was to be the source of all saving truth and moral discipline."32

In the apostolic preaching. . .

76 In keeping with the Lord's command, the Gospel was handed on in two ways:

- orally "by the apostles who handed on, by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received - whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit";33

- in writing "by those apostles and other men associated with the apostles who, under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit, committed the message of salvation to writing".34

. . . continued in apostolic succession

77 "In order that the full and living Gospel might always be preserved in the Church the apostles left bishops as their successors. They gave them their own position of teaching authority."35 Indeed, "the apostolic preaching, which is expressed in a special way in the inspired books, was to be preserved in a continuous line of succession until the end of time."36

78 This living transmission, accomplished in the Holy Spirit, is called Tradition, since it is distinct from Sacred Scripture, though closely connected to it. Through Tradition, "the Church, in her doctrine, life and worship, perpetuates and transmits to every generation all that she herself is, all that she believes."37 "The sayings of the holy Fathers are a witness to the life-giving presence of this Tradition, showing how its riches are poured out in the practice and life of the Church, in her belief and her prayer."38

79 The Father's self-communication made through his Word in the Holy Spirit, remains present and active in the Church: "God, who spoke in the past, continues to converse with the Spouse of his beloved Son. And the Holy Spirit, through whom the living voice of the Gospel rings out in the Church - and through her in the world - leads believers to the full truth, and makes the Word of Christ dwell in them in all its richness."39

II. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRADITION AND SACRED SCRIPTURE

One common source. . .

80 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal."40 Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ, who promised to remain with his own "always, to the close of the age".41

. . . two distinct modes of transmission

81 "Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit."42

"And [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It transmits it to the successors of the apostles so that, enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad by their preaching."43

82 As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."44

Apostolic Tradition and ecclesial traditions

83 The Tradition here in question comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit. The first generation of Christians did not yet have a written New Testament, and the New Testament itself demonstrates the process of living Tradition.

Tradition is to be distinguished from the various theological, disciplinary, liturgical or devotional traditions, born in the local churches over time. These are the particular forms, adapted to different places and times, in which the great Tradition is expressed. In the light of Tradition, these traditions can be retained, modified or even abandoned under the guidance of the Church's Magisterium.

III. THE INTERPRETATION OF THE HERITAGE OF FAITH

The heritage of faith entrusted to the whole of the Church

84 The apostles entrusted the "Sacred deposit" of the faith (the depositum fidei),45 contained in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, to the whole of the Church. "By adhering to [this heritage] the entire holy people, united to its pastors, remains always faithful to the teaching of the apostles, to the brotherhood, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. So, in maintaining, practicing and professing the faith that has been handed on, there should be a remarkable harmony between the bishops and the faithful."46

The Magisterium of the Church

85 "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ."47 This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

86 "Yet this Magisterium is not superior to the Word of God, but is its servant. It teaches only what has been handed on to it. At the divine command and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it listens to this devotedly, guards it with dedication and expounds it faithfully. All that it proposes for belief as being divinely revealed is drawn from this single deposit of faith."48

87 Mindful of Christ's words to his apostles: "He who hears you, hears me",49 the faithful receive with docility the teachings and directives that their pastors give them in different forms.

The dogmas of the faith

88 The Church's Magisterium exercises the authority it holds from Christ to the fullest extent when it defines dogmas, that is, when it proposes, in a form obliging the Christian people to an irrevocable adherence of faith, truths contained in divine Revelation or also when it proposes, in a definitive way, truths having a necessary connection with these.

89 There is an organic connection between our spiritual life and the dogmas. Dogmas are lights along the path of faith; they illuminate it and make it secure. Conversely, if our life is upright, our intellect and heart will be open to welcome the light shed by the dogmas of faith.50

90 The mutual connections between dogmas, and their coherence, can be found in the whole of the Revelation of the mystery of Christ.51 "In Catholic doctrine there exists an order or hierarchy of truths, since they vary in their relation to the foundation of the Christian faith."52

The supernatural sense of faith

91 All the faithful share in understanding and handing on revealed truth. They have received the anointing of the Holy Spirit, who instructs them53 and guides them into all truth.54

92 "The whole body of the faithful. . . cannot err in matters of belief. This characteristic is shown in the supernatural appreciation of faith (sensus fidei) on the part of the whole people, when, from the bishops to the last of the faithful, they manifest a universal consent in matters of faith and morals."55

93 "By this appreciation of the faith, aroused and sustained by the Spirit of truth, the People of God, guided by the sacred teaching authority (Magisterium),. . . receives. . . the faith, once for all delivered to the saints. . . The People unfailingly adheres to this faith, penetrates it more deeply with right judgment, and applies it more fully in daily life."56

Growth in understanding the faith

94 Thanks to the assistance of the Holy Spirit, the understanding of both the realities and the words of the heritage of faith is able to grow in the life of the Church:

- "through the contemplation and study of believers who ponder these things in their hearts";57 it is in particular "theological research [which] deepens knowledge of revealed truth".58

- "from the intimate sense of spiritual realities which [believers] experience",59 the sacred Scriptures "grow with the one who reads them."60

- "from the preaching of those who have received, along with their right of succession in the episcopate, the sure charism of truth".61

95 "It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls."62

IN BRIEF

96 What Christ entrusted to the apostles, they in turn handed on by their preaching and writing, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to all generations, until Christ returns in glory.

97 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God" (DV 10) in which, as in a mirror, the pilgrim Church contemplates God, the source of all her riches.

98 "The Church, in her doctrine, life and worship, perpetuates and transmits to every generation all that she herself is, all that she believes" (DV 8 § 1).

99 Thanks to its supernatural sense of faith, the People of God as a whole never ceases to welcome, to penetrate more deeply and to live more fully from the gift of divine Revelation.

100 The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.
 
Mother Mary is more real to me that her Son.

That's just how it goes for some folks.

Jesus never said a damn word to me, but his Mom made her self known to me.

And I appreciate that. And for that, I venerate Her.


Good post

So the Church does not rely solely on Scripture. It relies upon Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium which are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others.

Here is what the Church teaches about Mary.

Catechism of the Catholic Church - Mary - Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church

PART ONE
THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

SECTION TWO
THE PROFESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

CHAPTER THREE
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

ARTICLE 9
"I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH"


Paragraph 6. Mary - Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church

963 Since the Virgin Mary's role in the mystery of Christ and the Spirit has been treated, it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the Church. "The Virgin Mary . . . is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer. . . . She is 'clearly the mother of the members of Christ' . . . since she has by her charity joined in bringing about the birth of believers in the Church, who are members of its head."502 "Mary, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church."503

I. MARY'S MOTHERHOOD WITH REGARD TO THE CHURCH

Wholly united with her Son . . .

964 Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. "This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death";504 it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion:



Thus the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully persevered in her union with her Son unto the cross. There she stood, in keeping with the divine plan, enduring with her only begotten Son the intensity of his suffering, joining herself with his sacrifice in her mother's heart, and lovingly consenting to the immolation of this victim, born of her: to be given, by the same Christ Jesus dying on the cross, as a mother to his disciple, with these words: "Woman, behold your son."505
965 After her Son's Ascension, Mary "aided the beginnings of the Church by her prayers."506 In her association with the apostles and several women, "we also see Mary by her prayers imploring the gift of the Spirit, who had already overshadowed her in the Annunciation."507

. . . also in her Assumption

966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death."508 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:



In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.509
. . . she is our Mother in the order of grace

967 By her complete adherence to the Father's will, to his Son's redemptive work, and to every prompting of the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary is the Church's model of faith and charity. Thus she is a "preeminent and . . . wholly unique member of the Church"; indeed, she is the "exemplary realization" (typus)510 of the Church.

968 Her role in relation to the Church and to all humanity goes still further. "In a wholly singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls. For this reason she is a mother to us in the order of grace."511

969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation . . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."512

970 "Mary's function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed Virgin's salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws all its power from it."513 "No creature could ever be counted along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source."514

* II. DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

971 "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship."515 The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration."516 The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.517

III. MARY - ESCHATOLOGICAL ICON OF THE CHURCH

972 After speaking of the Church, her origin, mission, and destiny, we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary. In her we contemplate what the Church already is in her mystery on her own "pilgrimage of faith," and what she will be in the homeland at the end of her journey. There, "in the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity," "in the communion of all the saints,"518 the Church is awaited by the one she venerates as Mother of her Lord and as her own mother.



In the meantime the Mother of Jesus, in the glory which she possesses in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected in the world to come. Likewise she shines forth on earth until the day of the Lord shall come, a sign of certain hope and comfort to the pilgrim People of God.519
IN BRIEF

973 By pronouncing her "fiat" at the Annunciation and giving her consent to the Incarnation, Mary was already collaborating with the whole work her Son was to accomplish. She is mother wherever he is Savior and head of the Mystical Body.

974 The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.

975 "We believe that the Holy Mother of God, the new Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven to exercise her maternal role on behalf of the members of Christ" (Paul VI, CPG § 15).
