False queen of heaven? In scripture there are MANY false gods. Does that mean that the God of Israel is also false? NONSENSE! Those who accuse of paganism and idolatry tell us only what consumes their thoughts - not ours.

@@joselitonaranjo3234 when Jesus regarded John, and Mary, Jesus’ own mother, he gave her to all of us , as his mystical body, brothers in faith to John. That is why she is our Blessed Mother. It’ s entirely consistent with Sacred Scripture, and the legitimate teaching of the Church, as guided by the Holy Spirit. The unwillingness of some to believe, does not change the facts, illustrated in inumerable scriptural passages, in the old, and new, testaments.
I have fallen in love with the Blessed Virgin, in the sense that she has helped me move closer to her Divine Son, Jesus. The more I get to know and love him, the more I love her, who brought him to the world through her chaste womb. She can never replace him, as an object of worship, because she, like us, is a creature. I worship the Creator only. Just as I loved my earthly mother, I love the mother of my Lord.
In truth, Protestants do not - and cannot - worship. Worship requires sacrifice and the "reform" rejected sacrifice, i.e. worship. They praise, which is fine, but terribly incomplete.
@@HAL9000-su1mzCorrect, without altars & liturgical sacrificial worship, Protestantism doesn’t understand proper worship as commanded by Jesus Jn 6 51-58, so not “churc”, more like synagogue with prayer & teaching.
@@Qwerty-jy9mj Yep, when the majority of Protestants removed actual sacrifice (Eucharist) from their service, all they have left is praise and veneration to God. So, in their minds they mix up actual worship and praise/veneration and don't understand the difference. As a former Protestant, I'll now walk them down the "Bible trail" where it says to honor all kinds of people. Then point out that the Bible says that Mary is blessed among women and that all generations will call her blessed. It still doesn't work and its funny to watch them create even more mental gymnastics to get around it. Basically, they will agree with they "honor Mary" with their thoughts when they think about her, but you can't "do" anything outward with the honor. Huh?

bigger obstacle is that the Bible doesn't show her being resurrected nor translated -- therefore it's Biblically logical and accurate to know she is not alive, but waiting in the grave to be resurrected. and even if she were in Heaven -- nothing in Scripture supports us praying to other humans. Christians pray to God Alone.

I'm a protestant and I believe she is alive and in heaven, just like my grandma is and everyone else who lives the Lord and who has passed from this world.
I'm really enjoying your videos good Sir! Thank you for your thorough citations and referencing in your videos to support Church teaching. Keep up the good work! God Bless
Nailed it. There is no invisible line between veneration and worship. There's a line, but it's clear; it's the sacrifice of the Divine Liturgy. Protestantism leaves off the sacrifice bit altogether, and the English language suffered when "worship" became the word for the kind of love you better not give to the Mother of God. It didn't used to mean that. In Catholic England, veneration and worship were synonyms.
And why on earth they link this goddes to Mary when it already exist in old testament long before the grandfather of Mary even born? Nobody is asking? Nobody is thinking.
Thank you Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, for hearing our prayers and taking them to your son, Jesus! We believe you are alive in heaven, as the Queen, and intercede on our behalf.
@@fantasia55 Why should you care? Just because something isnt in the Bible, it doesnt mean it didnt happen or isnt true. This internet is not in the Bible.
Right ✅. Henry VIII never rejected such titles. He prayed 🙏 to the saints. Other founders of early Protestant denominations did the same. St. John of Damascus wrote a treatise on defense of icons. Islam ☪️ continued the heresy of iconoclasm, which is an old heresy from excommunicated heretics. Calvinism, Edward VI went further. Too many Protestant denominations push iconoclasm. Yet, not 1 can explain the miracle of St Dominic of Silos, other miracles when Catholics prayed in front of images of saints or prayed to the saints with no visual image around! 🤯
You do realise that King Henry VIII remained Catholic in his theology, don't you? Oh. You don't? Maybe read a book. Henry broke with the authority of the pope in Rome but he still believed the Catholic errors. His son Edward VI was the first truly Protestant monarch. You should read his treatise on why the pope is anti Christ
@@geordiewishart1683 Take off your rainbow Anglican glasses. Henry VIII is a red herring. Edward, via the Edwardine Ordinal, destroyed the Anglican Church's authority. From then on, it was a shell, an artifice of its former true self, being ruled over, not by ecclesial authority, but by a secular king. This began the Anglican descent into irrelevance - as has become patently obvious today. If you are as delighted to be Anglican as you claim, go in peace!
We honour Our Lady by calling her "queen". The inferences of this may be lost on Americans or non Europeans. Kings take priority over queens and a queen is usually an honorary title given to the wife or mother of a king. Christ is the king of kings and his mother given tne honorary title of queen.
The comparisons do prove too much, because Christ’s work intentionally sublimates many themes from Canaanite (and other) paganism. We worship a Son who effectively died as a human sacrifice (Molech), on a pole/pillar (Ishtar) set up in a high place (Baal), and rose from the dead in the spring, no less (Tammuz/Adonis). If the early Jewish Christians had had scruples about external resemblances to paganism, we wouldn’t be here. Our society is also so culturally Christian that we’re kind of numb to the weirdness of the core Christian beliefs. As a result a lot of people take trouble to strain out the gnat of saint-veneration, but they don’t even get heartburn from swallowing the camel of adoring a Man, who also incarnates a previously unheard-of concept of God. We have a very strange and beautiful religion, and we should lean into that instead of effacing it.
A “false” Mary? Even if Catholics worshipped Mary, they’re doing so to the one who is the mother of God. Whom else could she be? I kind of think these armchair theologians throw extra adjectives into their rhetoric as little more than virtue signaling, and end up thinking they have sussed out some new point of doctrine. I knew an evangelical who was careful to explain the likes of Vishnu to his understudied friends as “the false god of Hinduism” as if Hindus knew Vishnu was fake but maybe thought Kali was real. And at that point it doesn’t make any sense. And beyond that point we find this “false Mary” and the accidental rediscovery of heresies like “Mary is the mother of human Jesus but not the Second Person of the Trinity.”
How does Mary hear millions of Roman Universalists all at the same time? Also, if a Roman Universalist prays the rosary in their mind and not aloud, does Mary hear these internal prayers to her?
Why such a desire to defend Mary as queen of heaven ? And have statues of Mary carried around in percessions especially by pope John Paul 11 all over the world....that's not honor and worship? God doesn't have a queen next to him he has a lamb resurrected from the dead Go to southern Italy they worship Mary more then Jesus The sick need a doctor A broken car needs a mechanic Only a sinner needs a savior Luke 1:46-47 KJV [46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Revelation 12 has nothing to do with Mary, but is simply and solely about the Church. He may even, as countless Fundamentalists do Fundamentalists do, inform me that the book of Revelation is actually Church history forecast in symbols. Such reasoning reminds me of a paradox. Fundamentalist exegetes can see invading Muslim hordes, Soviet helicopters, European economic communities, Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev in the book of Revelation. It’s all crystal-clear, and it was certainly obvious to John. But when the text speaks of a woman closely linked to the Ark of the Covenant (Rev. 11:19), a woman who is pregnant and gives birth to a male child who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter (Rev. 12:5), it, of course, can’t possibly be connected in the writer’s mind with Mary. Nor can it mean that this same woman and mother is understood as an image of the Church. Nah. That’s an absurd meaning foisted on the text by Catholics. The woman spoken of in Revelation 12 is Mary. A few observations: • The woman is a great sign and appears in heaven. This is the Catholic view of Mary--that she has an important role in heaven and in the plan of redemption. • She is clothed with the sun, has the moon under her feet, and a crown of 12 stars. In the passage in Gen 37:9-10 the sun, moon and stars bow down to Joseph. This point is often missed by commentators. Therefore, Mary has a role similar to Joseph's in providing redemption to God's people. Joseph "saved" the Israelites and ruled over them just as Mary "saves" the church and rules over it. • Mary gives birth to the Messiah. This is the only literal meaning of the text. • Satan was cast down to earth as a result of events surrounding Christ's birth. Satan went after the child Jesus with a vengeance as we see in Herod's decree to kill the children. • Mary escapes to the desert--to Egypt, for safety and to protect Jesus. She was there for three and a half years. • Jesus was snatched up to God and His throne at His ascension. • Satan was unable to harm the child Jesus so he went off to destroy the rest of Mary's offspring. Notice who these are--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Mary's other offspring are the church. She had no other children other than Jesus. She is the spiritual mother of the church. Some might object to this interpretation, but it the most obvious and literal meaning of the text. To interpret it otherwise is to allow a preconceived belief to guide the interpretation. The pangs of the woman, however, need not have been physical pain. St. Paul, for example, used birth pangs to describe his own agony until Christ be formed in his disciples (see Gal 4:19). Thus, the suffering of the woman could describe the suffering of a soul--the suffering that Mary knew, at the foot of the cross, as she became the mother of all "beloved disciples" (see Jn 19:25-27)" She should concede to what she does not by the convictions of her Catholic beliefs and true devotion to Mary what she does not agree with, so as not to risk appearing disingenuous to those of Faith backgrounds who do not acknowledge the full glories of Mary, The Virgin Mother of God? All Marian Doctrines are based on solid, not loose, Scriptural grounds; some of the understanding of which is blocked by the hardness of our hearts, how could we remain blind to the relation of the Assumption of Mary to the Ascension of The Lord Jesus? How could we error in believing in The Immaculate Conception of The Lord Jesus but deny the same of His own Mother? Especially, when the messenger Angel Gabriel who stood before the throne of The Most High God calls her "Full of Grace", how do we depreciate what God has spoken? As He has spoken so it has been written, in the Scriptures, in the hearts of all mankind, that we are to call her: Blessed! Mother! please pray for us! As our Mother she herself tells us to do this in the Scriptures...what scripture do you read that tells you that if Mary pleads for you as her son which you are, that the Triune all loving and all Merciful God will shun her? Where have you people gotten these ideas? Most of them were unheard of until, who came along? Was it a new prophet foretold of in Scripture? Luther? William of Orange? You or I as long as we claim sola scriptura?
The Catholic Church says that Mary was preserved free from sin by God in order to PREPARE her to conceive and give birth to His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is NOT like any other human being. He is INFINITELY HOLY (just like His heavenly father). And so the woman who would have the privilege of conceiving Him in her womb CAN'T be like any other woman in the world; she has to be DIFFERENT from every other woman by being SANCTIFIED and PURIFIED in order to prepare her for this task. Therefore, it is DISRESPECTFUL to the dignity and sanctity of Jesus Christ to say that He can be conceived in the womb of a SINFUL woman. Also, when we say that Mary is SINLESS, we are NOT saying that she didn't need a SAVIOUR. How do you think she became sinless in the first place ? Do you think it was by her OWN power? No. It was by the GRACE of Jesus Christ. In other words, God SAVED her by giving her an abundance of GRACE: "Hail Mary, FULL of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28) and it is this grace that SAVED her by preserving her from sin. Mary had a SAVIOUR, and that is the reason why she was sinless. If she didn't have a Saviour, she couldn't have remained free from sin because she wouldn't have the grace to make it possible. The work of a SAVIOUR is not only to save people AFTER they have become sinners. A SAVIOUR can also preserve or protect a person from falling into sin in the first place so that such a person never even becomes a sinner in the first place. The Bible confirms that God has the power to prevent someone from falling into sin (Jude 1:24). Lastly, to say that someone is SINLESS does NOT mean that such a person is EQUAL to Jesus Christ. For instance, we know that the angels in heaven are SINLESS, but that doesn't make them equal to God or equal to Jesus Christ
@petros-estin-petra- well no but people who haven't sinned still need to Believe in Jesus to be saves Romans 5:12, 14 KJV [12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Asking are you saved is Protestant nonsense, as St Paul says that he is working in fear & trembling for his salvation Phil 2:12. Have you heard of the sin of presumption?

I wonder how God looks at Protestants constant blasphemy against the Blessed Mother. I’ve heard exorcists say one thing God does not allow the demons to do is to blaspheme His Mother! So how does He listen to their prayers or accept their worship based on this disrespect? Would appreciate any insight!
I know lots of Protestants (and married to one) and none of them has ever blasphemed Mary. For the most part, they are ignorant of her true status and just don't pay much attention to her for that. That's not blasphemy, just indifference.
The Bible is the inspired word of God. 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 1 Timothy 4:3 “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Ti 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; (1000+ victims of 300 priests in Pennsylvania alone) Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. It is important to read all of John 6 to understand that the flesh profits nothing and the spirit is truth. Better to be a born again Christian and find a good home Bible study group.
@@fantasia55 Revelation 12:1-6 introduces the dragon as the primary antagonist of humanity, a theme that continues in Revelation 13. The passage also describes a cosmic conflict between good and evil, and the woman's flight into the wilderness symbolizes a future time called the Great Tribulation: The dragon The dragon is a red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns, representing strength, terror, fierceness, cruelty, pagan Rome, the Roman empire, and seven kings. The dragon is the ancient serpent who started the conflict in Genesis 3 and will eventually be defeated by Jesus Christ when he returns. The woman The woman is clothed with the sun, the moon, and a crown of twelve stars, and some say she represents Israel in the Old Testament and the church in the New Testament. In Revelation 12:1-6, the dragon tries to eat the woman's male child, but God takes the child to his throne, which could refer to Jesus' ascension after his resurrection. The woman is also able to flee into the wilderness for 1,260 days, or 3.5 years, which could refer to the Great Tribulation. The war in heaven John sees a war in heaven between Michael the archangel and Satan, which results in Satan's eviction from heaven. This could symbolize the battle between good and evil, and that people have free will to choose which side to be on.
Even without such titles, Jesus is the eternal Savior, the King of the people, and above all, God. And before humans could exalt Jesus, the Father had already personally exalted the Son, another God. From the past to the present, humans have often tried to establish the position of God as humans, forgetting their own lowly nature. Isn’t rebellion enough? Is paganism necessary to exalt Jesus and his salvation? John MacArthur said that the Lord of Heaven has no other companion. This is because at that time, the Lord of Heaven in the Levant was considered to be Baal. Baal had a wife named Anat, but the problem was that Anat was also Baal’s sister. It is impossible to worship Baal and Anat at the same time in Israel. However, a temple for Yahweh and his wife Asherah has already been discovered in the ruins of the high places in northern Israel, not in Jerusalem. This is evidence of another form of pagan idolatry invading. Originally, the companion of 'Queen of Heaven Asherah' was 'Whitebeard El', the father of all the gods of Canaan. The El faith was already a declining faith at the time when Baal faith was prevalent, and it was on the same level as the Greek Cronus and Roman Sarturnus faiths. This faith in El later became Yahweh-Asherah as it competed and merged with the Yahweh worship of the Israelites who entered Canaan. In fact, the Old Testament prophet Elijah confronted hundreds of Baal priests and Asherah priests. At that time, Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, was also the daughter of the priest-king of Baal. In the first place, the process of combining a family in polytheism and worshiping them as a package or putting forward one representative among them often appeared in the form of religious fusion along with political unification. The problem is that such an evil attempt occurred in Christianity. Do you know Pontifax Maximus? It is the title used for the highest leader of the Roman priesthood. This Pontifax Maximus is elected and holds office for life. The purpose of this office is to be the head and spokesman of the priests of all religions that have temples within the Roman territory, and to represent the opinions of the diviners of the state as the head of their opinions. Is this a title befitting the head of the Christian religion, which serves only one Creator????

Mary, being sinless and having no original sin, was in the same position as Eve, which is to say that she was an original model human. Mary was not true God and true human both, so her death on a cross would have been like the death of any other Jewish martyr, maybe a bit sadder and braver, but not effective to save all humanity.

Let's say for the sake of the argument that the idea of the assumption of the blessed Mary being in heaven and is now the queen of heaven has been found not to be true and everything you have quoted from all those written documents either they were negative or positive this discussion would have not been necessary to mention or debate at all if it was proven to be all made up. But if they were proven to be true, then you would have a good reason to point those out and no one would dispute you, all would agree and that would be the end of it and everyone would be happy. But at where we all stand on this subject you will always have many who still will not believe you because as much you keep giving man words what they says about Mary is the queen of heaven and if it is not mentioned anywhere in the inspired words of God in the Bible to others they will never believe you and that includes me who is a Bible-believer Bible-obeying born-again Christian who do not belong to any religious denomination. I will stand forever on the infallibility Holy words of God not on the fallibility words of sinful men. You said at time stamp 23:10 “The bright and Morning Star how do we know that they're not singing to Lucifer after all Lucifer is called the “Morning Star” Jesus is called the “Morning Star” you are wrong by not showing the difference in the title "Morning Star." Jesus is call "The BRIGHT and Morning Star.” and Satan is just call "The morning star" huge different they are not the same. Before you are quoting Bible scriptures make sure you are quoting them correctly to prove your point, it could go against you. I can believe you have not notice this. For you to bring a list of words that describes Jesus and to compare the words “Queen of Heaven that describes Mary that some says it has a pagan counterfeit element to it that you think the descriptions of Jesus “ The Bright and Morning Star, the “Son of God” the “King of kings” the word “gospel” and “Prince of Peace” they also need to be band? What you fail to realize is that the descriptions of Jesus would not be considered a pagan ritual because He is alive and is in heaven while Mary would be a pagan ritual because she is dead and not in heaven and the queen of heaven. That is the difference. Using your argument about the Trinity not being mentioned in the Bible is a poor example to prove something and it has been done so many times and it was refuted every time because it is explained further in other Scriptures to prove the Trinity is true. Is masturbation, or abortion in the Bible? Well, according to you there is no problem with that being a sin because the Bible does not say anything about it. It does not have to be mentioned to know they are sins by other passages in the Bible that speak about sexual immorality and thy shall not kill. Come on wake up. Your argument is flawed and stop playing game and lying.

@@NuLeif You don't understand do you. Your Catholic friend here says the word Trinity is not in the Bible and I was showing neither the actual word masturbation and the actual word abortion was not also. Now don't you get it. What is wrong with you Catholics can you not read or are you so ignorant? Not surprising you lost in this RCC religion. The more they lie the more you become confused and the prince of lie of Satan is the ultimate confuser. Here to refresh what you have failed to see. I wrote "Using your argument about the Trinity not being mentioned in the Bible is a poor example to prove something and it has been done so many times and it was refuted every time because it is explained further in other Scriptures to prove the Trinity is true. Is masturbation, or abortion in the Bible? Well, according to you there is no problem with that being a sin because the Bible does not say anything about it. It does not have to be mentioned to know they are sins by other passages in the Bible that speak about sexual immorality and thy shall not kill. Come on wake up. Your argument is flawed and stop playing game and lying.
God himself employed Bezallel and Ohiliab to beaytify the tabernacle with certain images to maintain human artistic skills which is ingrained in human brain to appreciate the essence of beauty. Every catholic Church contains tabernacle alter menohra

'our Blessed Mother' ?? -- you didn't even know Mary.
this is not Biblical.
@@joselitonaranjo3234 when Jesus regarded John, and Mary, Jesus’ own mother, he gave her to all of us , as his mystical body, brothers in faith to John. That is why she is our Blessed Mother. It’ s entirely consistent with Sacred Scripture, and the legitimate teaching of the Church, as guided by the Holy Spirit. The unwillingness of some to believe, does not change the facts, illustrated in inumerable scriptural passages, in the old, and new, testaments.
I have fallen in love with the Blessed Virgin, in the sense that she has helped me move closer to her Divine Son, Jesus. The more I get to know and love him, the more I love her, who brought him to the world through her chaste womb. She can never replace him, as an object of worship, because she, like us, is a creature. I worship the Creator only. Just as I loved my earthly mother, I love the mother of my Lord.
For catholics, worship is something so specific, you can do it wrong.
For protestants, worship is so broad, you can do it by accident.
Interesting concept...
In truth, Protestants do not - and cannot - worship. Worship requires sacrifice and the "reform" rejected sacrifice, i.e. worship. They praise, which is fine, but terribly incomplete.
@@HAL9000-su1mzCorrect, without altars & liturgical sacrificial worship, Protestantism doesn’t understand proper worship as commanded by Jesus Jn 6 51-58, so not “churc”, more like synagogue with prayer & teaching.
They think all praise is worship, except when praise of what is dully praised compromises them, then it's fine...
@@Qwerty-jy9mj Yep, when the majority of Protestants removed actual sacrifice (Eucharist) from their service, all they have left is praise and veneration to God. So, in their minds they mix up actual worship and praise/veneration and don't understand the difference.
As a former Protestant, I'll now walk them down the "Bible trail" where it says to honor all kinds of people. Then point out that the Bible says that Mary is blessed among women and that all generations will call her blessed. It still doesn't work and its funny to watch them create even more mental gymnastics to get around it. Basically, they will agree with they "honor Mary" with their thoughts when they think about her, but you can't "do" anything outward with the honor. Huh?

I think a big obstacle they have is that they do not believe she is alive in heaven, or that any saint is.
bigger obstacle is that the Bible doesn't show her being resurrected nor translated -- therefore it's Biblically logical and accurate to know she is not alive, but waiting in the grave to be resurrected.
and even if she were in Heaven -- nothing in Scripture supports us praying to other humans. Christians pray to God Alone.

Isthar was the goddess in jeremiah. It was impossible for her to be confused with Mary.
Nailed it. There is no invisible line between veneration and worship. There's a line, but it's clear; it's the sacrifice of the Divine Liturgy. Protestantism leaves off the sacrifice bit altogether, and the English language suffered when "worship" became the word for the kind of love you better not give to the Mother of God. It didn't used to mean that. In Catholic England, veneration and worship were synonyms.

@@geordiewishart1683 Take off your rainbow Anglican glasses. Henry VIII is a red herring. Edward, via the Edwardine Ordinal, destroyed the Anglican Church's authority.

This began the Anglican descent into irrelevance - as has become patently obvious today.

We honour Our Lady by calling her "queen". The inferences of this may be lost on Americans or non Europeans. Kings take priority over queens and a queen is usually an honorary title given to the wife or mother of a king. Christ is the king of kings and his mother given tne honorary title of queen.
Excellent video
The comparisons do prove too much, because Christ’s work intentionally sublimates many themes from Canaanite (and other) paganism. We worship a Son who effectively died as a human sacrifice (Molech), on a pole/pillar (Ishtar) set up in a high place (Baal), and rose from the dead in the spring, no less (Tammuz/Adonis). If the early Jewish Christians had had scruples about external resemblances to paganism, we wouldn’t be here. Our society is also so culturally Christian that we’re kind of numb to the weirdness of the core Christian beliefs. As a result a lot of people take trouble to strain out the gnat of saint-veneration, but they don’t even get heartburn from swallowing the camel of adoring a Man, who also incarnates a previously unheard-of concept of God. We have a very strange and beautiful religion, and we should lean into that instead of effacing it.
Another awesome video!
Revelation 12 suggests that she is the Queen of Heaven. Who else wears a crown, and is the King of King’s Mom, but THE Queen?
Right on brother.
I have a question. What do you think about Jay Dyer?
He is Orthodox, and mock the Catholic church and the saints, a very disgusting person if you ask me
A deceived mocker
A “false” Mary?
Even if Catholics worshipped Mary, they’re doing so to the one who is the mother of God. Whom else could she be?
I kind of think these armchair theologians throw extra adjectives into their rhetoric as little more than virtue signaling, and end up thinking they have sussed out some new point of doctrine. I knew an evangelical who was careful to explain the likes of Vishnu to his understudied friends as “the false god of Hinduism” as if Hindus knew Vishnu was fake but maybe thought Kali was real. And at that point it doesn’t make any sense. And beyond that point we find this “false Mary” and the accidental rediscovery of heresies like “Mary is the mother of human Jesus but not the Second Person of the Trinity.”
How does Mary hear millions of Roman Universalists all at the same time? Also, if a Roman Universalist prays the rosary in their mind and not aloud, does Mary hear these internal prayers to her?

Revelation 12 has nothing to do with Mary, but is simply and solely about the Church. He may even, as countless Fundamentalists do
Fundamentalists do, inform me that the book of Revelation is actually Church history forecast in symbols. Such reasoning reminds me of a paradox. Fundamentalist exegetes can see invading Muslim hordes, Soviet helicopters, European economic communities, Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev in the book of Revelation. It’s all crystal-clear, and it was certainly obvious to John. But when the text speaks of a woman closely linked to the Ark of the Covenant (Rev. 11:19), a woman who is pregnant and gives birth to a male child who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter (Rev. 12:5), it, of course, can’t possibly be connected in the writer’s mind with Mary. Nor can it mean that this same woman and mother is understood as an image of the Church. Nah. That’s an absurd meaning foisted on the text by Catholics.
The woman spoken of in Revelation 12 is Mary. A few observations:
• The woman is a great sign and appears in heaven. This is the Catholic view of Mary--that she has an important role in heaven and in the plan of redemption.
• She is clothed with the sun, has the moon under her feet, and a crown of 12 stars. In the passage in Gen 37:9-10 the sun, moon and stars bow down to Joseph. This point is often missed by commentators. Therefore, Mary has a role similar to Joseph's in providing redemption to God's people. Joseph "saved" the Israelites and ruled over them just as Mary "saves" the church and rules over it.
• Mary gives birth to the Messiah. This is the only literal meaning of the text.
• Satan was cast down to earth as a result of events surrounding Christ's birth. Satan went after the child Jesus with a vengeance as we see in Herod's decree to kill the children.
• Mary escapes to the desert--to Egypt, for safety and to protect Jesus. She was there for three and a half years.
• Jesus was snatched up to God and His throne at His ascension.
• Satan was unable to harm the child Jesus so he went off to destroy the rest of Mary's offspring. Notice who these are--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Mary's other offspring are the church. She had no other children other than Jesus. She is the spiritual mother of the church.
Some might object to this interpretation, but it the most obvious and literal meaning of the text. To interpret it otherwise is to allow a preconceived belief to guide the interpretation.
The pangs of the woman, however, need not have been physical pain. St. Paul, for example, used birth pangs to describe his own agony until Christ be formed in his disciples (see Gal 4:19). Thus, the suffering of the woman could describe the suffering of a soul--the suffering that Mary knew, at the foot of the cross, as she became the mother of all "beloved disciples" (see Jn 19:25-27)"
She should concede to what she does not by the convictions of her Catholic beliefs and true devotion to Mary what she does not agree with, so as not to risk appearing disingenuous to those of Faith backgrounds who do not acknowledge the full glories of Mary, The Virgin Mother of God?
All Marian Doctrines are based on solid, not loose, Scriptural grounds; some of the understanding of which is blocked by the hardness of our hearts, how could we remain blind to the relation of the Assumption of Mary to the Ascension of The Lord Jesus? How could we error in believing in The Immaculate Conception of The Lord Jesus but deny the same of His own Mother? Especially, when the messenger Angel Gabriel who stood before the throne of The Most High God calls her "Full of Grace", how do we depreciate what God has spoken? As He has spoken so it has been written, in the Scriptures, in the hearts of all mankind, that we are to call her: Blessed! Mother! please pray for us! As our Mother she herself tells us to do this in the Scriptures...what scripture do you read that tells you that if Mary pleads for you as her son which you are, that the Triune all loving and all Merciful God will shun her? Where have you people gotten these ideas? Most of them were unheard of until, who came along? Was it a new prophet foretold of in Scripture? Luther? William of Orange? You or I as long as we claim sola scriptura?
The Catholic Church says that Mary was preserved free from sin by God in order to PREPARE her to conceive and give birth to His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is NOT like any other human being. He is INFINITELY HOLY (just like His heavenly father). And so the woman who would have the privilege of conceiving Him in her womb CAN'T be like any other woman in the world; she has to be DIFFERENT from every other woman by being SANCTIFIED and PURIFIED in order to prepare her for this task. Therefore, it is DISRESPECTFUL to the dignity and sanctity of Jesus Christ to say that He can be conceived in the womb of a SINFUL woman. Also, when we say that Mary is SINLESS, we are NOT saying that she didn't need a SAVIOUR. How do you think she became sinless in the first place ? Do you think it was by her OWN power? No. It was by the GRACE of Jesus Christ. In other words, God SAVED her by giving her an abundance of GRACE: "Hail Mary, FULL of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28) and it is this grace that SAVED her by preserving her from sin. Mary had a SAVIOUR, and that is the reason why she was sinless. If she didn't have a Saviour, she couldn't have remained free from sin because she wouldn't have the grace to make it possible. The work of a SAVIOUR is not only to save people AFTER they have become sinners. A SAVIOUR can also preserve or protect a person from falling into sin in the first place so that such a person never even becomes a sinner in the first place. The Bible confirms that God has the power to prevent someone from falling into sin (Jude 1:24). Lastly, to say that someone is SINLESS does NOT mean that such a person is EQUAL to Jesus Christ. For instance, we know that the angels in heaven are SINLESS, but that doesn't make them equal to God or equal to Jesus Christ
@petros-estin-petra- well no but people who haven't sinned still need to Believe in Jesus to be saves
Romans 5:12, 14 KJV
[12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
[14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

@@fantasia55 Revelation 12:1-6 introduces the dragon as the primary antagonist of humanity, a theme that continues in Revelation 13. The passage also describes a cosmic conflict between good and evil, and the woman's flight into the wilderness symbolizes a future time called the Great Tribulation:
The dragon
The dragon is a red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns, representing strength, terror, fierceness, cruelty, pagan Rome, the Roman empire, and seven kings. The dragon is the ancient serpent who started the conflict in Genesis 3 and will eventually be defeated by Jesus Christ when he returns.
The woman
The woman is clothed with the sun, the moon, and a crown of twelve stars, and some say she represents Israel in the Old Testament and the church in the New Testament. In Revelation 12:1-6, the dragon tries to eat the woman's male child, but God takes the child to his throne, which could refer to Jesus' ascension after his resurrection. The woman is also able to flee into the wilderness for 1,260 days, or 3.5 years, which could refer to the Great Tribulation.
The war in heaven
John sees a war in heaven between Michael the archangel and Satan, which results in Satan's eviction from heaven. This could symbolize the battle between good and evil, and that people have free will to choose which side to be on.
Even without such titles, Jesus is the eternal Savior, the King of the people, and above all, God.
And before humans could exalt Jesus, the Father had already personally exalted the Son, another God.
From the past to the present, humans have often tried to establish the position of God as humans, forgetting their own lowly nature. Isn’t rebellion enough? Is paganism necessary to exalt Jesus and his salvation?
John MacArthur said that the Lord of Heaven has no other companion. This is because at that time, the Lord of Heaven in the Levant was considered to be Baal. Baal had a wife named Anat, but the problem was that Anat was also Baal’s sister. It is impossible to worship Baal and Anat at the same time in Israel.
However, a temple for Yahweh and his wife Asherah has already been discovered in the ruins of the high places in northern Israel, not in Jerusalem.
This is evidence of another form of pagan idolatry invading. Originally, the companion of 'Queen of Heaven Asherah' was 'Whitebeard El', the father of all the gods of Canaan.
The El faith was already a declining faith at the time when Baal faith was prevalent, and it was on the same level as the Greek Cronus and Roman Sarturnus faiths.
This faith in El later became Yahweh-Asherah as it competed and merged with the Yahweh worship of the Israelites who entered Canaan. In fact, the Old Testament prophet Elijah confronted hundreds of Baal priests and Asherah priests.
At that time, Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, was also the daughter of the priest-king of Baal.
In the first place, the process of combining a family in polytheism and worshiping them as a package or putting forward one representative among them often appeared in the form of religious fusion along with political unification.
The problem is that such an evil attempt occurred in Christianity.
Do you know Pontifax Maximus?
It is the title used for the highest leader of the Roman priesthood. This Pontifax Maximus is elected and holds office for life.
The purpose of this office is to be the head and spokesman of the priests of all religions that have temples within the Roman territory, and to represent the opinions of the diviners of the state as the head of their opinions.
Is this a title befitting the head of the Christian religion, which serves only one Creator????
John MacArthur is controlled by Satan.
This whole video is pure blasphemy. There is no queen of heaven.

She should concede to what she does not by the convictions of her Catholic beliefs and true devotion to Mary what she does not agree with, so as not to risk appearing disingenuous to those of Faith backgrounds who do not acknowledge the full glories of Mary, The Virgin Mother of God?
All Marian Doctrines are based on solid, not loose, Scriptural grounds; some of the understanding of which is blocked by the hardness of our hearts, how could we remain blind to the relation of the Assumption of Mary to the Ascension of The Lord Jesus? How could we error in believing in The Immaculate Conception of The Lord Jesus but deny the same of His own Mother? Especially, when the messenger Angel Gabriel who stood before the throne of The Most High God calls her "Full of Grace", how do we depreciate what God has spoken? As He has spoken so it has been written, in the Scriptures, in the hearts of all mankind, that we are to call her: Blessed! Mother! please pray for us! As our Mother she herself tells us to do this in the Scriptures...what scripture do you read that tells you that if Mary pleads for you as her son which you are, that the Triune all loving and all Merciful God will shun her? Where have you people gotten these ideas? Most of them were unheard of until, who came along? Was it a new prophet foretold of in Scripture? Luther? William of Orange? You or I as long as we claim sola scriptura?
How can you prove that something is NOT? That is a fool's errand - same as atheists.
@@TrollHammer-g4q Because the word of God does not such a thing.
You do not know as much about the faith as you think. Humble yourself.
@@HAL9000-su1mzThere is no queen of heaven. Mary is a sinner saved by grace. Praying to anyone other than Jesus Christ who is the only mediator between man and God is IDOLATRY
In your last video titled "queen of heaven" you made two points_Mary was sinless and she had an immaculate conception.
Based on these two claims of which both claims are in contradiction to Jesus Identity.
But cool let's run with them.
Why then did Jesus die on the cross if Mary was sinless?
Why didnt she die on the cross.
If her blood is pure she can save all mankind.
🙏🙏🙏
Jesus is King!
He is Not the Idiot you make him out to be.
Braindead
@@masinaverde901 Why would she need a savior if she is Sinless?
So why didnt she get raptured like Enoch or Elijah?
Roman 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Humans are Sinners.
Only God is Sinless.
Paul must be A LIAR!
BECAUSE MARY HAD NO SIN.
PERVERTED PAUL.😭😭
Which ark are you referring to?
King Hezekiah was instructed by God to break the bronze Serpent.
During King Nebuchadnezzar reign the ark of the covenant went missing.
That's 600bc.
Ark of the covenant has no part in Judaism for last 2600 years.
Mary, being sinless and having no original sin, was in the same position as Eve, which is to say that she was an original model human.
Mary was not true God and true human both, so her death on a cross would have been like the death of any other Jewish martyr, maybe a bit sadder and braver, but not effective to save all humanity.
The main thing is that Mary's sinless life (aided by God's grace, but with her full cooperation) showed that Adam and Eve were not given an impossible task, and could have chosen not to Fall into sin. Which was fitting.
@@suburbanbanshee Original Sin is linked to intercourse and the seed of Adam.
You say Mary was free from Original Sin.😂😂🤭
Was her father Not Joachim???
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God!
Enoch and Elijah got taken up.
Mary???
Still waiting for the call from her grave.
The Bible that you boastly wrote Laughs back in your face!
Why was Mary not taken up if she had No Sin!?
Clearly Paul is a LIAR based on your Marian Dogmas!
Only Jesus was exempted from Original Sin.
Who was his father?
Psalm 51.
Which Bible School did you guys go to?
Must have been a Catholic 1😭😭😭
@@suburbanbanshee Mary Sinless? Yoh😭😂.
That is Not Biblical.
You must have leant that from a Catholic School.🤭
ELIJAH AND ENOCH WERE taken up, why Not Mary.
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED.
MARY ALSO.
PSALM 51.
Her father was Joachim!
ORIGINAL SIN THROUGH JOACHIM.
Who was Jesus father??
Nope. Still blatant pagan papal superstitions
how do you have source from where you got it
Jesus Established His Own Church, With His Own Lips, over 2,000 years ago. You left Him; He did not leave you.
Is it your intent to admit to the web that you are poorly educated and ego-centered?
@harleymann2086 Recognized anti-Catholic troll and hater.
@harleymann2086 We have to play whack-a-mole when they pop up.
Let's say for the sake of the argument that the idea of the assumption of the blessed Mary being in heaven and is now the queen of heaven has been found not to be true and everything you have quoted from all those written documents either they were negative or positive this discussion would have not been necessary to mention or debate at all if it was proven to be all made up.
But if they were proven to be true, then you would have a good reason to point those out and no one would dispute you, all would agree and that would be the end of it and everyone would be happy.
But at where we all stand on this subject you will always have many who still will not believe you because as much you keep giving man words what they says about Mary is the queen of heaven and if it is not mentioned anywhere in the inspired words of God in the Bible to others they will never believe you and that includes me who is a Bible-believer Bible-obeying born-again Christian who do not belong to any religious denomination. I will stand forever on the infallibility Holy words of God not on the fallibility words of sinful men.
You said at time stamp 23:10 “The bright and Morning Star how do we know that they're not singing to Lucifer after all Lucifer is called the “Morning Star” Jesus is called the “Morning Star” you are wrong by not showing the difference in the title "Morning Star."
Jesus is call "The BRIGHT and Morning Star.” and Satan is just call "The morning star" huge different they are not the same. Before you are quoting Bible scriptures make sure you are quoting them correctly to prove your point, it could go against you.
I can believe you have not notice this. For you to bring a list of words that describes Jesus and to compare the words “Queen of Heaven that describes Mary that some says it has a pagan counterfeit element to it that you think the descriptions of Jesus “ The Bright and Morning Star, the “Son of God” the “King of kings” the word “gospel” and “Prince of Peace” they also need to be band? What you fail to realize is that the descriptions of Jesus would not be considered a pagan ritual because He is alive and is in heaven while Mary would be a pagan ritual because she is dead and not in heaven and the queen of heaven. That is the difference.
Using your argument about the Trinity not being mentioned in the Bible is a poor example to prove something and it has been done so many times and it was refuted every time because it is explained further in other Scriptures to prove the Trinity is true.
Is masturbation, or abortion in the Bible? Well, according to you there is no problem with that being a sin because the Bible does not say anything about it. It does not have to be mentioned to know they are sins by other passages in the Bible that speak about sexual immorality and thy shall not kill. Come on wake up. Your argument is flawed and stop playing game and lying.
unimpressive, faulty logic
Actually “spilling seed” & abortion “thou shall murder” is mentioned in the Bible.
@@fantasia55 Prove it I dare you to debate me. But of course, it is so typical of Catholics not wanting to believe it, it makes too much sense and logical that if they believe it and agree with it, it will destroy their belief and their religion of man-made heresy totally to the ground. Is that just about right buddy?
When one comes here and gives such a tiny statement without any proof to support his claim is one who knows nothing just pretend he is smart but hides like a coward behind a dead dog so he does not want to reveal his real identity on how ignorant he is.
You remind me of a dog yapping at someone quickly turning around and running away like a coward with his tail between his hind legs as if to say I got you? That is what I call a fly-by yapper. More like I got you and without yapping buddy. You have been debunk already without me fire a shot of knowledge. That is enough to go and hide somewhere it is so embarrassing. Your are the king of embarrassment.
@@NuLeif You don't understand do you. Your Catholic friend here says the word Trinity is not in the Bible and I was showing neither the actual word masturbation and the actual word abortion was not also. Now don't you get it. What is wrong with you Catholics can you not read or are you so ignorant? Not surprising you lost in this RCC religion. The more they lie the more you become confused and the prince of lie of Satan is the ultimate confuser.
Here to refresh what you have failed to see. I wrote "Using your argument about the Trinity not being mentioned in the Bible is a poor example to prove something and it has been done so many times and it was refuted every time because it is explained further in other Scriptures to prove the Trinity is true.

TROLL. Reported for hate speech.
God himself employed Bezallel and Ohiliab to beaytify the tabernacle with certain images to maintain human artistic skills which is ingrained in human brain to appreciate the essence of beauty. Every catholic Church contains tabernacle alter menohra
Good point! Thanks for sharing
