- How are we to understand Mary's motherhood when it comes to Jesus?
Catholics, Orthodox, and many Protestants call Mary the "Mother of God," while others are greatly offended by this title. Where does this idea come from? Is it biblical? Is it heresy? In this video former Protestant Pastor and Catholic convert Keith Nester makes the case that in fact, she is. What do you think?

i’m Baptist. thank you for explaining this! i’ve been praying for the Lord to open my eyes and my heart, to soften my heart and learn. i’ve grown up believing the lies of the Catholic church but am trying to better understand it all. your passion for Christ and scripture is inspiring. you’re so right- we can’t stop putting human limits on God. there are things that are simply mysteries for us. God bless!
You are and always have been a Catholic!
You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULTS. You have the Baptist CULT
BOOM! I absolutely love how you don’t pull any punches, my brother! Either Jesus is *fully God* and fully man, or He isn’t. I don’t mind well-meaning and sincere Protestants having questions about Mary, but so many get so nasty about her, it truly appears they have an actual hatred of her. And who else hates our Blessed Mother…..? Keep telling the truth, Keith!
How true. I never see a hatred from Catholics to Protestants.
@@blitzkreegy4232 Well, I never asserted Prots hate Catholics (though many do) and that there aren’t any instances of the reverse.
That’s nowhere near what my comment was about, but nice try in inserting your most profound comment…..You got me there! 🙄
I am pretty sure you are not old enough for Mary to be your mother. Besides she only gave birth to 5 boys and BadTrad wasn't one of them.
@@sammygomes7381 ?????
There will be false teachers false apostles n this was written by a true apostle..
John 19:26, ESV: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Holy Mary Mother of God and our Mother too, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen
God has no mother. Making Mary the mother makes Mary a goddess which millions pray to.
6 But you, when you pray, enter your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.
Sorry my friend but don't see the word of God telling us to pray to Mary, only the Father.
@@sammygomes7381 amazing you fail to grasp the simple points made in the video. You must have just commented without listening.
@@sammygomes7381 what did your cited "proof" have to do with the subject at all?
@@flintymcduff5417 My friend the problem is I grasped the point very well, but it seems you didn't weigh it with the word of God. If you have a specific point you would like to address, I would love to discuss it with you.
This is an annoying subject. I can’t believe I used to think like this😩I’m so glad I’m Catholic now💕
Me too! Best decision I ever made. I came home 😃

You do understand that God is Spirit!?
Mary gave birth too Jesus ( God in the flesh)
To say "mary is the mother of God" alone without the proper context is like saying she created God.
Context is important!
@@fabiotuan5206 where did you get your spirit???? Heretic!!!
@Fabio Tuan Well that's basically true of every birth. The mother does not create the child. The story of Frankenstein should clue people in, you can have a body , but we cannot put the spark of life into it. It's a divine design. And also a warning, those that do try to create life outside of the womb ,have no idea what spirit lies in wait to enter that body, most likely not one anyone would want to take home. The only thing I could akin it too and not crazy about his works, is pet cemetery that was the reinstalling of life,the former is the creation from start. Sort of like playing the ouija board mega times 10. Evil would be really thrilled.

Hi Keith, you have done a lot of home work and a lot of time spent researching to explain this concept in this short video, well done, please make some more videos to enlighten us and keep our faith strong
Unfortunately, the doctrine, for one thing, is not supported by Scripture, but is rather refuted in many instances, even contradicting many core Biblical principles. The doctrine may be Catholic, but I am confident it is not Christian. It does not belong to the Way of Christ.
@@chickbowdrie4750 All the Apostolic churches believe the same thing. Luther also did.
@@BensWorkshop First off, no you're wrong. There is actually zero imperical data which supports your statement. Secondly, claiming the Apostles believed in it doesn't make it true. Plenty of organizations have said the Apostles also never saw Christ rise from the dead. That's just a claim with no evidence. It means nothing.
I stand behind my statement: the doctrine is not supported by Scripture. I've done the research. Have you?
@@chickbowdrie4750 The word you are looking for is Empirical, imperical in't a word. Secondly, yes I have. Keith lists a lot here. She is also according to Revalations in Heaven with a crown of 12 stars, and standing on the moon.
@BensWorkshop The only book that supports the worship of Mary is the corrupt Douay-Rhemes "Bible," which isn't a Bible. The author made their own version and changed it to fit the Catholic doctrine. I see every reason not to trust the DRV Bible.
Caught myself reciting the Creed as you started and then realized how powerful it is. I think we take for granted what we are saying when we repeat it every Sunday in a low droning voice
Absolutely, saying anything by rote without considering its deeper meaning amounts to nothing more than religion. Never relationship. How do we know the difference. Those with relationship live lives that look like the saviour. Those who are religious mouth things but their lives are far from the examples they should be. Pharasaical you know? I think in both Catholic and Protestant churches are those who are religious and not in relationship with God. What do you think?
You dont inherit being Christian. You cannot be made a Christian. it is a personal commitment regardless to what church you are born into.
Yes indeed our relationship with God and our daily commitment to follow Him remains the key.@@thelinkeducationalsupports2949
@@thelinkeducationalsupports2949Actually, reciting things over and over has been proven to have a profound effect on humans
You don't seem to have a clue about religion, so that's all I'll say
Matthew 6:7
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking
Repetitious prayers are a form of self hypnosis.
They lull you into a sense of false security.
The bible specifically forbids repetitious prayer.
You are to pray to GOD ALMIGHTY ALONE!
Matthew 6:9
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”
It's called self hypnosis !
Mr Nester, thank you very much for your knowledge, your passion and your zeal. And you're so funny as well!! You also made me cry when you recited the Creed with such strength and conviction. Thank you, in the end, for your love for the truth who is our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you

Thank you God for giving us your catholic church to teach us the truth. The Lord gave us his church so we would not be led astray. The gates of hell will not prevail against it. On another note the closer you get to Mary the closer you get to Jesus. Her sole purpose is to bring everyone to her Son. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Absolutely!
Only God gives us to Jesus. John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. Mary's sole purpose was to give birth to Christ.
Hmmm. Mary is buried in a grave and has returned to dust, Christ has risen
AMEN!
@@sammygomes7381 “Mary’s sole purpose was to give birth to Christ.” What an impoverished view of motherhood/parenthood you have! I supposed that’s why the day after He was born Mary & Joseph dropped Jesus off at the nearest orphanage! No, wait! They fed Him, clothed Him, took Him to Synagogue & taught Him His first prayers, potty trained Him, taught Him how to read and write & the carpenter’s trade, gave Him dating advice and made sure He washed His hands & brushed His teeth.
Being Catholic it's a grace. Loving Mary it's a grace. a sublime gift our Lord Jesus gave us. Cannot be any more thankful for being catholic, and love with all my heart my mother Mary and Jesus through Her, the Queen of Heaven and all created. Deal with it.
Didn't Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to us and not Mary.
Why do you worship Mary?
The "dogma" of the immaculate conception didn't become catholic dogma until 1854.
Maybe you should deal with the word of God that doesn't have a queen in heaven.
I love the part where a Baptist calls a Catholic a heretic!!!
Thank you Keith. Merry Christmas!
It’s sad because old Protestants loved Mary, but now it is main stream of Protestants. And they act like the reformation was over Mariology
Protestants love the role Mary played just like every prophet, apostle, and those that do the will of God, they just don't worship her.
@@SJ-up9zq Of course Catholics worship Mary as they take a normal human being, call her immaculate, perpetual virgin, assumed, queen of heaven, mother of God and spend more time praying to her than the Dather despite the fact there is no such person in the word of God.
Catechism of the Catholic church 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." 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.
Jesus has a special eye on the persons , who Loves His Mother ❤He Loved Her to the MAX 😇🌹✨
When did Christ visit Mary upon His resurrection?
@@sammygomes7381 I hear, immediately after His Resurrection, first He visited His Mother 💕
Read St. Ignatius of Antioch, his letters to the Christians. He tells how the 1st Christian's honored Our Lady. And how the Jews in power did not
@@goldenarrow3 You do know that half of Ignatius writings are forgeries. Mary is not to be worshipped and Christ made that clear. . While Jesus was teaching the multitudes, “a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!’” (Luke 11:27). Jesus responded, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it” (11:28, emp. added). Again, Jesus made it clear that there was nothing about Mary that elevated her above anyone else who heard the Word of God and obeyed it. Jesus Himself taught us not to consider His mother as the “Mother of God,” a person to be worshipped.
@@sammygomes7381 He made clear that Mary had so much faith in God she believed Jesus was incarnated in her. As Elizabeth said "Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Blessed are you who believed. " etc, she was filled with the Holy Spirit when she said this. Mary believed it & did God's will. You think living with Jesus for 33 years she would not have been obedient to God & faithful?
The Ignatius of Antioch book states that some of the letters were doubtful & published several versions of each of his letters. But check out the writings of the other fathers of the church then.
The Protestants are not doing God's will by denying the explicit dignity He gave the Blessed Mother in giving birth & raising Jesus, most of you are being disparaging & disrepectful just like the Pharisees
Oh, and we do not "worship" her, that's just a fantasy made up by the Protestants

They really want to pull Mary down. They don't understand, she is not an ordinary woman. Part of Jesus' flesh and blood came from Mary's. The DNA of Mary is in Jesus. She is the only favored woman by God since the beginning of humanity. There is no way you can treat Mary as an ordinary woman. I want to thank you Keith in the bottom of my heart for defending the Catholic church. You can explain things that I think some priest will have a hard time explaining. Have you considered to become a deacon? You will be a perfect fit to be a deacon.
No one is pulling Mary down, but Christ never said she was to be worshipped or made the mother of God. Mary was very much an ordinary woman as John the Baptist was an ordinary man. In fact the bible is clear that John the Baptist was great in the eyes of the Lord and Mary was only found with favor. Christ even tells us John was greater than Mary.
@@sammygomes7381gosh Sammy you sure are trying hard but the point you don’t get is we FAITHFUL Catholics KNOW our faith.

*In fact the bible is clear that John the Baptist was great in the eyes of the Lord and Mary was only found with favor.*
That was a deliberate misinterpretation of a perfect past tense greek word for "to grace."
It's the difference between physically slapping someone in the present tense and having metaphorically slapped them in a verbal diss in the past tense.
It doesn't work, does it? I believe that's called "eisegesis."
@@eddardgreybeard Or one could take Paul's advice and not think of one above what is written.

The word of God is clear that no one born of woman was greater than John the Baptist.
@@sammygomes7381
greater than 1500 years of Christian tradition has stated otherwise.
"And she shall crush thy head, and thou shall lie in wait for her heel" Every millisecond of the Protestant revolt lies in wait to be crushed by her heel.
The scripture never ever says Mary will crush the head of satan. Never. Catholic Dogman teaches that but it is not in scripture. What it says," The seed of the woman will crush the serpents head and the serpent will bruise his heel. Please be careful. The seed Jesus crushes the head of the serpent. The bible says Christ is seated at the right hand of God and all things are under HIS FEET not MARY's.
That is your fallible, prone to error interpretation of the written portion of Sacred Tradition. The Church of Christ is the Holy Catholic Church, and there is nothing Christian outside the Catholic Church. Christianity only exists in the Holy Catholic Church. @@thelinkeducationalsupports2949
Read the bible properly; Mary never crushed the head of the serpent, it was Jesus

Where in the bible did Mary remain a virgin after sex pointed out in Matthew 1:25 or the 5 writers of the NT that mention the brothers of Christ, or where Mary was assumed when the bible tells us we return to dust when we die. Nowhere is Mary mentioned as a queen of heaven

This was great! Thanks for adding a video to show the opposite argument. My youngest child (adult) was in the room as i was listening to the video and stopped and said, "so what he is saying is that there was a time that Jesus wasn't God?" Then we discussed the Heresy (& St. Nicholas punching Arian at the Council for that thought process..lol). And just when we got done talking about it, you bring up the heresy in the video. Thanks for such solid content Keith.
Thanks for that!
mary mother of jesus , how can mary be mother of her own creator, as for Luke 1 : 43, And how has it happened to me , that the mother of my Lord would come to me , so you elevate mary to mother of God from this , ridiculous, remember Elizabeth was filled with the Holy spirit, she was proclaiming who was in the womb rather than elevating mary, The revelation was the second person of the trinity was in the womb, jesus, truly God truly man , was a man in all aspects, yet fully Divine, so mary was mother of the flesh , not the divine nature of christ, its biblical to call mary, the mother of jesus, not the mother of God, jesus had two natures in one body, mary was the mother of the flesh,
@@garyholian3552 sadly, your reasoning risks falling into heresies of the past. Scripture you quoted states that Elizabeth, calls Mary the mother of her Lord. To say that Mary did not give birth to both natures of Jesus logically leads to that at some point the person of Jesus did not have both natures (divine and human). This argumentation could then lead someone to believe that person of Jesus, who has ascended into heaven (bodily resurrection), who sits at the right hand of the Father, now makes technically the fourth person of the Trinity.
To understand that there are Three persons of the Holy Trinity acknowledging that the Second Person of the Trinity is the God-man, Jesus Christ means that at no point in the human life of Jesus (moment of conception) was He ever NOT both human & Divine. Thus, Mary having given birth to Jesus is Mother of God: being mother does not imply she created her creator.
I apologize but this arena does not leave much room to discuss but May I suggest a longer video on this to watch by Fr Chris Alar from the Marian’s in Stockbridge, Ma who published a video on December 31,2022. May God bless you and keep you.
The divine nature is eternal, so mary gave birth to the flesh , of course the two natures were in the womb , John 1 :14, And the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we saw His glory, glory, as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth , mary hardly gave birth to God , so mary is the mother of jesus not God eternal, christ was 100% man 100 % God, so which was mary the mother of, ?

Dude this is spot ON. My love and understanding of Christology came about from recognizing that the Virgin Mary really did mother God because Jesus IS God. That by itself was enough for me to consider crossing the Tiber from being an Evangelical.
That makes Mary the goddess Catholics worship.
@@sammygomes7381 Catholics dibnot workshop the blessed Virgin Mary
@@lois2997 By saying I'm full of it I can only guess your speaking of the Holy Spirit, and I thank you. I just want to point out I am not prot, I'm a Christian, a follower of Christ. Here are some differences between Christians and Catholics. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.
Really? Why were you an evangelical? Have you ever taken the time to know how the MOTHER CULT came into the church historically? I am not speaking about religion now or Catholocism. I am asking have you done any research to discover how that in the original church there was no such doctrine but in an effort to PLEASE citizens who were not Christians, yes to soften or make the gospel more accomodating, the mother cult was allowed to be mixed in with the original / authentic gospel of Christ. Do you know who allowed that brought that practice into your religous practice? Just study. Don't study as a Catholic. Just study as a good student and I GUARANTEE you that you conclusion will differ in the end,
Asking ALL, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Protestants, Aethesists, even Catholics, to pray The Rosary three to five times a day from now till The Feast of The Presentation just to see and experience the great and amazing things Our Father in Heaven will do for our Faith in Jesus Christ Our Lord and willingness and obediently praying The Rosary.
Or one could pray to God for sending His son to die for our sins. The only one Christ and the apostles prayed to was the Father as Christ Himself gave us an example

We just carry on with our worship.
You killed this keith 🙌

Good job, Keith! I remember having a hard time understanding this because I was making assumptions about what it meant. It's usually a matter of thinking it means something it doesn't. Once I started asking questions and trying to actually understand what was being said, it wasn't a problem. Praying for those who truly love God, but who deny His divinity in this way, because they're unwittingly walking on very thin ice.
Steven Anderson’s denial of Mary as the Mother of God (i.e. “God-bearer”) makes him a literal heretic. He has adopted Nestorianism, a heresy the church condemned at the Councils of Ephesus (431 AD) and Chalcedon (450 AD).
When I was an Evangelical, I reject the title Mother of God with little thought, not realizing that I was holding a contradictory belief claiming to also believe in the Trinity. If Jesus is “God the Son”, then Mary must be the mother of God. The only way she is not is if Jesus not God.
It is amazing to me now that so many Protestants are so divorced from church history they do not see they are embracing heresies the church rejected 1600 years ago.
When you speak of church history do you mean when the Catholic church use to burn Christians at the stake that refused to become Catholic and bow down to a pope?

Have the courage to listen to this teaching. Tell me your thoughts on it please. I was gobsmacked. It certainly what I was taught.
Well I love my lord and read my Bible everyday and have never found a direct commandment from Jesus to pray to his mother.I read several references of respect to his mother,but not direct references to pay to her.I refer back to Exodus 20 :4 You shall Not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,or that is in the earth beneath,or that is in the water under the earth;you shall not bow down to them nor serve them,For I the Lord Your God am a jealous God visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the childrenof the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,but showing mercy to thousands to to those who love Me and keep My commandments...and I will quote from Danial 12,regarding the belief in purgatory, the word breathed word of God says Danial 12 :2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life,some to shame and everlasting contempt.My testimony is I believe in the true church that came to life by the deciples of christ and was given the name Roman catholic,but through the ages it has given itself over to idolatry and false teachings having a Form of godliness but lacking.Honestly who is the evil one going to attack more and sneak in false teaching but the true church,also when I have tried to tell this to catholics I am shunned,I write this with true love from Jesus christ!
The Bible does mention intercession . And Catholics don’t idolize Mary
@@mollybaker3882 yes Roman's 8:26-27,tells us Jesus intercede,and 8:26-27,The Holy Spirit intercede.I see in John 2:1,when Mary was alive and they were at the wedding,but she was alive and just said whatever Jesus wanted to turn the water into wine to give to him,nowhere in scripture do I find that command,I pray scripture,In the power of Jesus name,and pray regularly,as Jesus instructed.Just wondering as I find it quite odd.Thanks replying
@@mollybaker3882 Oh so what's all the statues of her all about?
Protestants claim to be "the people of the Bible alone." It drives them crazy because they actually think we think we're talking about Mary being the mother of the trinity. Then to top it off, they go in to blatant heresy by separating Jesus in to human and God like 50/50 but He is fully God and fully human. I believe they're so far gone that they will try to argue with God himself at the judgement.
If Jesus is 100% God (he is), then by logical extension he is 100% the Holy Spirit as well because the Holy Spirit is fully the God and vice versa. Therefore what Mary gave birth to is 100% God, 100% Jesus, and 100% the holy spirit. There is no other name for that except the Trinity. When one says "Mary mother of God" that person is saying Mary mother of the trinity even if you think you are not and even if you don't intend to.
I am a believer. I am neither Protestant or Catholic I see no such labels in the bible. I see that followers of Christ are asked to put on a new nature and become a partaker of Christ allowing that new nature to dominate in all that they do and say. I have never thought of Catholics as believing that Mary is Mother of the Trinity so be careful of generalizations. I believe that Catholics will do well to say what they mean rather than argue the same lines back and forth. For example: When we say that Mary is the Mother of God, what we mean is..... ( that approach lessens misunderstandings and provides an excellent platform for futher discussions) But maybe that is not the goal. Bashing one another, calling one another ignorant, blind, heritcs in no way promotes the Kingdom of God. Are we not all blind in some part of our lives or another? I am. The key is treating one another with respect as we entreat the other to come into a more complete knowledge of the Christ.
Where do you get that idea from? I have never believe that so you are making a generalization and just how you dont want generalizations about Catholics, you should desist. I believe that I am God's child. Absolutely. But the gospel says: " I have sheep that is not of this fold," What does that mean to you? I believe that in many denominations/ religious people groups/ that there are seekers of the TRUTH, God through Christ has made a promise to them: IF YOU SEEK ME, YOU WILL FIND ME. I believe such people will come to salvation not because of a denomination but because of a relationship with Christ. I believe all / yes in all people groups there are the true and the false. How else would you explain the Catholic priest and Protestant pastors that molests peoples children? Hmmm...But men's failiures dont mean God has failed. Exactly. So we each have to work out our own salvation and make sure that we are doing not what the group is doing but what God is calling YOU and I to do? What is God calling you to do for him in the last days before his coming? Do you have a personal relaionship with him? Do you know that should you die tonight you will see his face? These issues are more important than anyone's view of Mary. For sure, Mary is with God. Let us make sure we are with him in death.
@@morganfreeman1906The mistake in your logic is that the Trinity is composed of three totally separate persons but all have the same essence. The Trinity is not like us. It is incorrect that Mary gave birth to an essence. The title of God Bearer was given to Mary to help us understand Jesus in relation to the Trinity and not just for her. It is good to struggle with her title because it helps us with the Trinity.
@@billdavis5483 "Essence" has no Biblical basis outside of subjective opinions. There is nothing wrong with my logic. Mary is the "mother of the trinity" according to what Catholics actually believe whether they admit it or not

Thank you brother Keith for this wonderful video...God bless u more...
Oh my goodness Keith. I cannot get enough of Listening to your videos about Mary. This particular one is still blows my mind. We have the Mother of God snd people still deny her. God bless you Keith and thank you for your videos.
god is the creator not mary
@pigmeatishambacon Praise be to God and may He be praised in His creations. He gave us our Blessed Mother. "Behold your Mother".
I don’t know why the apostles disciples called her The Mother Of God. Elizabeth called her mother of our lord and that’s the only verse that talks about her role as that. I do agree as a catholic. She didn’t give birth to a essence. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Protestants use these arguements for teachings they don’t understand. Mary is amazing and they’ll learn it someday. Recently when background temptations threaten my rosary it’s her who holds my hand along with her son.
Problem is the two biggest lies the Catholic church is based on is Peter as pope and Mary as mother of God that remained a virgin, was immaculate, assumed into heaven and made a queen. The bible refutes this, yet people worship the goddess Mary anyway.
The apostles didn't call her the mother of God
@@sammygomes7381 Not everything revealed in the bible that included during the youth of Jesus. I think you should silence and listen first to Keith's explanation. He was a pastor Protestant for 20 years so he should know. Sometimes we need to use a common sense and swallow your pride, so you'll be able to hear the guidance of Holy Spirit!
@@josolano8345 I thank you for your suggestion, but I have listened to his explanation, and it does not line up with scripture. The fact that he was a pastor for 20 years and teaches a false gospel is what I find concerning. Trust me, I lost my pride long ago..
No, Mary is dead. She was a woman obedient to her call in God like you and I should be . You are not contacting Mary when you pray. My dear you are contacting a familiar spirit posing as Mary. The scripture forbids us to talk with the dead or seek them for counsel and worst than that prayers. Check your scriptures please. Pray. Holy Spirit will show you if you are an earnest seeker of God's truth. God's truth is not always synonymous with what you have been taught in the Catholic church. STudy. Go and study you will see.
Heard a pentecostal pastor tell followers twisting Matthew 26 vs 27
And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: "Drink from this, all of you.Matthew 26 vs 28
For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins. for he meant the gospel here in Uganda so unfortunately devaluing the eucharist anyway st Paul warned “But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men preach unless they are sent?” - Romans 10:14-15 because they were not sent everyone comes up with his own thinking..
Another great video, Keith! I think Chalcedon is very relevant here too.
Yes! Tell it like it is Keith.
Thank you for doing this video. I have so many friends who are not catholics and they don’t believe that Mother Mary was born without original sin because again they say it is not in the bible. I will just pray for them.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You can tell them you cannot pour a clean water in a dirty glass. The glass should be clean to maintain the purity of the water that you will pour into it.
@Rowena Andres. Mary’s sinlessness is in the bible. In 2 Sam 6:6
When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.
The Old Ark carried the Word of God in stone. Uzzah who is unworthy, touched the Old Ark and was killed by God for desecrating the Old Ark whose holiness and sanctity needs to be preserved.
Mary, carried the Word of God in Flesh - Jesus. She must be similarly holy and sanctified in order to carry the Word of God in Flesh for 9 months. Jesus is God and is holy. He cannot reside in a sinful vessel for 9 months. Mary, just like the Old Ark is holy, holy and holy. God would preserve its holiness and sanctity.
Jesus has to be born as a human to represent the human race in the everlasting New Covenant with God. Mary gave Jesus His human DNA. Jesus is holy. Mary is thus sinless. Mary needed Jesus to be sinless. It is because of all the above, Mary is sinless and holy.
The bible mentions nowhere that any of us are born with original sin. We have a sin nature and Mary was no different. Only one was born and remained sinless, Jesus Christ.

Have you ever search through Mathew, Mark, Luke and John to see if what they are telling you about Jesus and Mary is actually in the Bible? Start reading the Bible, and then compare what the Bible said, or did not say, and compare what you read with what the Roman Catholic church is telling you. You are not to follow what the Roman Catholic church is telling you, if it is NOT WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE!!!!!
Why does that make you sad? Moses, Abraham, Joshua, the desciples and many great men and women of God were obedient to his call, served their time and moved off the scene. Except that Mary is the 4th person in the God head why are you saddened , that Mary heard God, obeyed God like a faithful Jewish girl and then moved off the scene. Why I ask has she been given these titles that should only be given to Christ? I am constantly trying to understand that. She is called Advocate, Intercessor, Gate (another word for door) , Queen of Peace, Morning Star, Mother of perpetual help etc. These titles absolutely are titles given to christ. Besides, the Holy Spirit is our perpetual help. I dont understand. Catholics say they do not pray to Mary then they invoke her in all these capacities. Is that not prayer? And because they say they are not praying does that mean they are not PRAYING? Or, they have been told so often that they are not praying that they believe they are not praying they are JUST HONORING MARY. This my friend must be what confuses the PROTESTANT. HENCE, they continue protesting. What does Mary do for you that the HOLY SPIRIT cannot? Can you tell me that please?
She is my heavenly Mother, I never said she can do more than the Holy Spirit.
And that Holy Spirit is the only one that can show you the error of your thinking. The only one who can show me the error of my thinking. So the debates, the mud slinging is all in vain. Enjoy God, make your request known to his son and watch how he will lead you down the path of TRUTH. He cannot help himself. HE IS TRUTH. Grace and peace be to you in the precious name of our big brother Jesus Christ. Have a great day!
Is Mary the mother of her self?
I heard a local Baptist pastor use this title as one of the names by which Mary is known - 'in the Catholic tradition' - but without critical comment. Though he then went on to talk about Mary having other children, which is more to be expected. Not sure what it's like in America, but over the years I've noticed that Christian denominations are becoming more difficult to identify by the particular doctrines you might hear espoused from the pulpit. Though some may accuse Catholics of that too!
interesting.
Of course Christ had brothers and sisters as the word of God tells us.
I'm not surprised.
I heard "she's gone to join her eternal husband in heaven" at a funeral mass.
@@sammygomes7381 it's your interpretation of the word of God, friend.
@@sammygomes7381 As Jesus died on the cross, he gave his mother Mary in to the care of the Apostle John. If Mary had other children it would have been *Jewish Law* that she would go to them. She had no other children.

PROTESTANT: I will not experience the Tribulation because I will be Raptured. It's in the Bible.
CATHOLIC: What about Matthew 13 : 36-43 (NLT)?
"The disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.” Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels. Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, SO IT WILL BE at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will REMOVE from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!"
PROTESTANT: You are an idiot. You don't know how to read the Bible.
>>>TRANSLATION: "You don't know how to ignore the parts of the Bible we don't like."
This is a perfect example of catholics not knowing their eschatology. You said it right there in the post. We won't experience the tribulation because of the rapture. What Matt 13 is describing IS the tribulation. Compare that with 1 Thess 4, its an entirely different set of circumstances.
How can the saints come back with Christ if He doesn't come get them first at the rapture?
@@ContendingEarnestly : Jesus talks about removing the evil people from the earth at the end of time. He does not say anywhere he will remove the good people first so they don't have to experience the tribulation.
1 Thess 4 : 16-17 says this:
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven... we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air [as he descends to the earth]. And so we will be with the Lord forever [on earth]."
Nowhere in 1 Thess 4 does it say the believers of Christ will be removed from the earth. Jesus will purify the earth and then rule it. No Rapture. That is an invention of human minds.
@@bobblacka918 You need to dig deeper. John 14 Jesus says that He is leaving and WHEN He returns He will gather us together to himeself so that we will be where HE is, i.e. heaven. Not where we are i.e. earth. And you really need to study the jewish wedding. The groom goes to prepare a place for his bride (gee where do we see this) and he returns at a time when he is not expected, with a shout, trumpets and the bride runs out to meet her groom. And they return back to where the groom has prepared a place in his fathers house. Thats not the brides house but her grooms house. In this case, heaven. Keep digging.
@@bobblacka918 Of course there is a rapture unless you plan on missing it.

Mary is the mother of the Lord (LUKE 1:43). Kyrios / Lord is how the jews called God. Jesus means GOD SAVES or GOD THE SAVIOR in Hebrew, that is why Mary is the mother of GOD THE SAVIOR. He is also called "IMMANUEL" in the Book of Isaiah 7:14 meaning GOD WITH US in Hebrew, this is why Mary is the true mother of God ! God chose to have a mother in the bubble of space and time, God humbled himself to the world, men and angels. PHIL 2:6-8 ; HEB 2:9
PHILIPPIANS 2:6-8 6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
HEBREWS 2:9 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
Jesus is God ! The Trinity is inseparable. God chose to have a mother read LUKE 1 ! Are you making Elizabeth a liar when she said that Jesus is His Lord in LUKE 1:43 when she met Mary was about to approach her ? LUKE 1:43 [ And whence is this to me, that THE MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? ]
The Lord Jesus Christ has a mother and He is God, so the Lord God Jesus Christ has a mother. When the Lord Jesus Christ was born by Mary, He is no longer simply Jesus as God, but rather, He became Jesus as God who became Man (JOHN 1:14) or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh (1 TIMOTHY 3:16).
Jesus as God who became Man or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh has to have a mother, for otherwise, how will Jesus as God become Man or manifest in the flesh if He has no mother?
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among WOMEN, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? (LUKE 1:41-43)
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (1 CORINTHIANS 12:3-5)
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 )
And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (JOHN 20:28-29)
(DEUTERONOMY 10:17) “For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward”
LUKE 1:43 REFERS TO THE JESUS WHO IS “THE” LORD, MEANING THE GREATEST AND THE HIGHEST OF ALL LORDS. THE SUPREME AUTHORITY OVER ALL:
REVELATION 19:16 “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
1 TIMOTHY 6:14-15 “That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords”
REVELATION 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
What is a Cradle Catholic? I have never seen such. I have seen a babe in Christ. Are you a babe in Christ or a babe in Catholocism. The doctrine of Catholocism is not always consistent with the doctrine of Christ so be careful. Test and try the spirits and see if they be of God. Study to show yourself approved a workman not needed to be ashamed.
God made His OWN PERFECT MOTHER.

As a person you are comprised of body and soul. Your soul did not come from your mother. And yet we can still say she gave birth to the person of you.

I personally know many that really Love The Lord.
Yes, Keith. It's true because of the hypostatic union of Christ His DNA is inseparable from His divinity.
Jesus Christ is God. Women who bear people are called mothers. If the person a woman bears is God, then, consequently, the woman is the Mother of God. It’s that simple.
Jesus Christ is God. Women who bear people are called mothers. If the person a woman bears is God, then, consequently, the woman is the Mother of God. It’s that simple. Now, dingbats claims that Jesus’ divine nature had no mother. This is true, of course, but the Church does not teach otherwise. We say that Mary is the Mother of God; mothers are not mothers of natures, but of persons, and Jesus was a divine person who took on a human nature.
Was your mother the mother of your human nature? No, she was the
mother of you. It is a person who is conceived and born, not a nature [only]. What
person was born of Mary? A divine Person only--not a human person--but a divine
Person who took on human nature. The one born of Mary “shall be called the son
of God” (Lk 1:35), and “God sent his son, made of a woman” (Gal 4:4). [2]
German reformer Martin Luther's (1483-1546) writings often address the subject of Mary: On the Divine Motherhood of Mary, he wrote
In this work whereby she was made the Mother of God, so many and such great good things were given her that no one can grasp them. ... Not only was Mary the mother of him who is born [in Bethlehem], but of him who, before the world, was eternally born of the Father, from a Mother in time and at the same time man and God. (Weimer's The Works of Luther, English translation by Pelikan, Concordia, St. Louis, v. 7, p. 572.)
John Calvin (1509-1564) also held that Mary was the Mother of God
It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of his Son, granted her the highest honor. ... Elizabeth called Mary Mother of the Lord, because the unity of the person in the two natures of Christ was such that she could have said that the mortal man engendered in the womb of Mary was at the same time the eternal God
Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531), wrote, on the divine motherhood of Mary:
It was given to her what belongs to no creature, that in the flesh she should bring forth the Son of God
Mt 1:18-25
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means "God is with us." When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.
Boom. Well said. I appreciate the quotes from the reformers. This just goes to show it shouldn't be a Protestant vs. Catholic/Orthodox thing at all.
Thanks for all you do sir!

When addressing the Pharisees, He asked them: “‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The son of David.’ He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’…. If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?’” (Matthew 22:42-45, emp. added). The Pharisees failed to answer the question correctly because they were thinking about the physical nature of the Messiah. While Christ was a physical descendant of David (cf. Luke 1:32; Matthew 1:1), according to His divine nature He did not have a physical father, since He Himself is before all (John 8:58). In the same way that David could not be the father of the divine Messiah since he called Him “Lord,” Mary cannot be the “Mother of God” since she calls Him “Lord” in Luke 1:38,46-47. The truth is, as Paul explains, “according to the flesh, Christ came” through the patriarchs, David, and, yes, Mary, but according to His deity, He is the “eternally blessed God” who is over all
She is the mother of the earthly Jesus.
Mary is the Mother of God, and here's why:
1. All persons of the Trinity are fully God and not parts of God. The Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, and the Holy Ghost is fully God.
2. What is the incarnation? The incarnation is when the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, took on human nature and became man. Therefore, the person of Jesus has two natures, a divine nature, and a human nature. This makes Jesus one divine person and therefore God.
3. What is a mother? A mother is a person who carries (is pregnant with) and gives birth to a human person (not a nature). Since Mary carried and gave birth to the person of Jesus, this makes Mary the mother of Jesus. And since the person of Jesus is God, this means that Mary carried and gave birth to God. And if Mary carried and gave birth to God, this means that Mary is the Mother of God.
And the Earthly Jesus is God.
But wether she is his mother or not doesn’t change the fact that Jesus never said to praise her or any saints.just him and the father.
It's not strange how Bible alone denominations gets to question the basics of Christianity with poor analysis of what they believe, which leads them to so many conflicting viewpoints hence all the denominations of Protestantism. An Anglican Vicar who converted and became a Catholic Priest told me the Catholic Magesterium convinced him to become Catholic
You nailed it👌! Mary is the mother of God 🙏. Thank you 👏
Catholics worship Mary, claiming that she has “divine maternity” (“Dogmatic Constitution…,” 1964, 8.3). But if Mary is to be worshipped as the “Mother of God,” we should expect to find a biblical command to do so, or a biblical example of approved action. However, such commands and examples are nowhere to be found. From the first moment Mary appears in the biblical record, there is no indication of her being the object of worship of any kind. When God’s angel announced to Mary that she would give birth to the Messiah, the heavenly messenger did not worship her (Luke 1:26-38). The shepherds, who came to the stable, praised God-not Mary-for what they had witnessed (Luke 2:16-20). Later, the wise men came to a house and “saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him” (Matthew 2:11, emp. added)-not Mary. Simeon and Anna, who had waited their entire lives for the Messiah, recognized Jesus as the One sent by God. They did not offer any special acknowledgement or praise to Mary (Luke 2:21-38). Additionally, Jesus’ disciples never gave Mary any preeminence during their gatherings, much less worshipped her as the “Mother of God” (cf. Acts 1:14-26).

@@johnxland9373 Actually it wasn't to about the year 400 around the time the Catholic church was coming to power they used the term mother of God. Happy holidays my friend.
My earthly mother has hurt me so deeply and isn’t a mom to me. Mother Mary means the world to me!! ❤ If they don’t believe, they’re sadly missing out.
I pray that you live longer with God blessings . You are the light and torch to the world for the word of God❤
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinner's now & at the hour of our death ~ Amen 🌠 I Love you Mary so very much ❤️
Mary doesn't answer prayer. If she did she would be on the same level as the Trinity.
@@dwaynemathias3834 I didn't say Mary did , I asked her to pray for us sinner's .
@@dwaynemathias3834 oh I get it , you're another one of these women hateing creeps 🧐😳🎭
Mother of God the Son✅
Spouse of God the Holy Spirit ✅
Daughter of God the Father ✅
God didn't marry .....HE DOESN'T HAVE A SPOUSE. Why are you all adding stuff not in the word of God ❓⁉️
First one is right but I don’t know about the other two
There will be false teachers and false apostles... its so clear now
This was written by a true apostle...
John 19:26, ESV: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Isaiah 2:8
“Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:”
Nap. God doesn't have a mother. Mary is the 100% human mother of Jesus Christ. She is just as human as any other human who has ever lived.
She is 100% human and gave birth to Jesus who is 100% God. Pay attention dude. :)
@@KeithNester Dude pay attention, could Moses look at God without dying?
Yes, GOD cannot literally have a mother, but *GOD through Elizabeth had declared Mary "mother of the LORD"* in Lk 1:41-44 - that aside from the truth that Mary was literally to be a mother by giving birth to CHRIST JESUS who is GOD.
Do you think that Elizabeth, who was not even a prophetess, could had known that the baby in Mary's womb was her LORD if not *through THE HOLY SPIRIT?* Note that at the very outset of the Holy Bible, *GOD, LORD GOD, and "LORD"* refer to one and the same *SUPREME BEING.*
Do you think that the baby in Elizabeth's womb, then with still undeveloped physical, emotional, and intellectual faculties, could had recognized the LORD CHRIST JESUS that he leaped for joy, if not *through THE HOLY SPIRIT?*
@@levymanlapig8970 Elizabeth might not have been a prophetess but she was righteous in the eyes of God. Mary was not righteous in the eyes of God, she was only found with favor. Just a biblical fact.
When addressing the Pharisees, He asked them: “‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The son of David.’ He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’…. If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?’” (Matthew 22:42-45, emp. added). The Pharisees failed to answer the question correctly because they were thinking about the physical nature of the Messiah. While Christ was a physical descendant of David (cf. Luke 1:32; Matthew 1:1), according to His divine nature He did not have a physical father, since He Himself is before all (John 8:58). In the same way that David could not be the father of the divine Messiah since he called Him “Lord,” Mary cannot be the “Mother of God” since she calls Him “Lord” in Luke 1:38,46-47. The truth is, as Paul explains, “according to the flesh, Christ came” through the patriarchs, David, and, yes, Mary, but according to His deity, He is the “eternally blessed God” who is over all
@Sammy Gomes
*You totally missed it!*
The point is *neither* about Elizabeth's, *nor* Mary's, *nor* anybody's righteousness, but Elizabeth *being bereft of any prophetic gift to know anything* about Mary's conceiving of Jesus, *most especially His divinity,* and hence, *Elizabeth being obviously made the medium through which THE HOLY SPIRIT declared Mary the "mother of the LORD".*
And where did you read that "Mary was *not righteous* before GOD"? Mary had been prophesied both in O.T. & N.T. (Lk 2:34-35), and even declared fully blessed by GOD (see Lk 11:28 in relation to Lk 1:28 & 45). So now, don't tell me (as others do) that Mary was being rebuked in Lk 11:27-28, for it was the woman shouting who was rebuked for failing to grasp CHRIST's words in the preceeding verses - note that Lk 11:27 starts with, "While he was saying this (so CHRIST was then preaching) a woman from the crowd raised her voice ...". In reply, CHRIST impliedly told that woman and the crowd, that Mary was *"r_a_t_h_e_r blessed for hearing and keeping the word of GOD than for having birthed and nursed Him, and for them to likewise hear and keep the word(s) of GOD to be blessed".*
Here is one biblical fact.
*Mary gave birth to CHRIST JESUS, and that undeniably makes Him her Son (Mt 1:16),* not withstanding that His earthly existence was neither due to creation nor procreation. Joseph, who was a descendant of David, was not the biological father (no procreation) of JESUS - hence, CHRIST was not a physical descendant of David (as you have otherwise said, citing Lk 1:32 & Mt 1:1). Joseph was only the *legal* father (i.e., foster paternity) of JESUS - see Mt 1:16 where it only says, "... Joseph the husband of Mary ..." and *not Joseph the father of Jesus.* CHRIST, on the other hand, was/is a physical descendant of Mary ("It was of her that Jesus who is called the Messiah was born", says Mt 1:16). So Mary is still "the mother of the LORD" even if she calls Him "LORD".
With due respect, are you a Christian (meaning one who believes in THE HOLY TRINITY)?
Has it never occurred in your mind that Mary was relating to or referring to THE FATHER (in Lk 1:38, and especially in Lk 1:46-55)?
*Peace and GOD bless*
Ever since I pray the rosary I get attacked by devil. Is this normal?
ABSOLUTELY, HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO PRAY THE Rosary.....Look what happened to Mel Gibbson after he made The Passion of Christ. ,that movie continues to show how Jesus saves souls, The devil attack him by using he weaknesses against him.
The reason why the demons are attacking you is because it's not a god.
Pray to God without the Rosary pray to God and him that you should pray alone only pray to God do not pray to Mary or Saints or anything else but God Alone.
NEVER let anyone tell you not to pray the Rosary
I like your videos a lot, and you help me try to understand catholicism as a Baptist. I do have an idea I would like to talk about with you. Is it possible that because he was never born of a man impregnating a woman, he had no sin in his flesh, compared to us. Maybe it's not about the flesh itself but about the sin in the flesh (which we all have). Jesus was able to sin, just did not. Which in that case, means his flesh and blood were enough for us on the cross. Please comment because i would like to learn more. Your the only person I trust with helping me understand and I want the holy spirit to open my eyes to the truth.
It is on you brother whatever you believe
that is a true statment
Facts exist outside of our "beliefs".
truly i ask this not as an argument but as a question. why did Jesus refer to the people of the crowd as his mothers then (as well as his brothers). also, why did he say to the people who said blessed is the woman who birth u, rather blessed r those who obey the word of God.
Thank you Keith! You may not realize it now, this side of Heaven but what you have openly done for Christ and His Holy Mother (and ours) is so great that She will defend you to Her Son, at your judgement. She is a good Mother to her spiritual children and She, like Her Son, loves you more than you can imagine.
Thank you for these kind words.
Keep doing the Lord's work! We're rooting for you!
They make excuses for not believing Christian teaching.
The Lord Jesus Christ says unless you believe I AM HE. You will die in your sins. Meaning he is GOD in the FLESH
Praise Jesus. Amen. Elizebeth said in Luke 1:43
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
“43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”There is no difference between Lord = Jesus = God. It’s in the Bible. So it’s appropriate to say the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. Years ago when I became a thinking evangelical I realized my preacher’s were teaching so many 16th century faulty logic, manmade traditions and errors like this I returned to my Catholic faith and never looked back. It’s all about Sacred Scripture + Sacred Tradition + the Magisterium of Christs Church. God bless you. Great video!
When addressing the Pharisees, He asked them: “‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The son of David.’ He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’…. If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?’” (Matthew 22:42-45, emp. added). The Pharisees failed to answer the question correctly because they were thinking about the physical nature of the Messiah. While Christ was a physical descendant of David (cf. Luke 1:32; Matthew 1:1), according to His divine nature He did not have a physical father, since He Himself is before all (John 8:58). In the same way that David could not be the father of the divine Messiah since he called Him “Lord,” Mary cannot be the “Mother of God” since she calls Him “Lord” in Luke 1:38,46-47. The truth is, as Paul explains, “according to the flesh, Christ came” through the patriarchs, David, and, yes, Mary, but according to His deity, He is the “eternally blessed God” who is over all.
Manmade traditions like baptizing infants? Priests can forgive sins? Priest can turn a wafer into Christ? Peter a pope? Mary remaining a virgin after sex and numerous children? Born immaculate? Assumed into heaven? Made a queen? None of that is supported by the word of God.
No one should disagree with this. But she’s not eternally co-existent (which no one is suggesting). She’s earthly mother. I think Protestants can be afraid to talk about Mary.
Mary was declared the mother of God at a council at Ephesus where Paul had dethroned the queen of heaven ( artemis) and the council re-entroned her while changing her name, and BTW she was subsequently called eternal Virgin( in spite of the biblical testimony that she had children by Joseph) and called coredemptrous ( neccessary for salvation).
Way to stand up for the mother of my Lord.
That preacher doesn’t understand the Trinity in that video you sent. “Only in an earthly sense.” 😂
