Virgin Mary More Important Than Jesus Christ?

This is just to show the extreme heresy the RCC will go to. It's hard to believe that even they could be so stupid as to try to justify it with scripture.

For most of the world, Pope Francis is the one pope that everyone seems to like. With is open mind and open attitude to other religions, as well as his more humanist approach to being Catholic, many have fallen under his spell of universal peace. The Inquisitr reported numerous times on the pope's actions that appeal to others. This includes stating that atheists are also saved, inviting Muslims to pray Islamic prayers at the Vatican, and even stating that Evangelizing is one thing that doesn't equate to personal happiness.

However, many Evangelical Christians are not happy with the pope. With reports such as Pope Francis saying the only way to God is through the Catholic Church (and not Jesus Christ, who said He was the way) to promoting Chrislam (A religion made by combining Christianity and Islam together), it is no wonder Christ followers are upset. Now they are getting upset again because Pope Francis is about to decree the Virgin Mary to be the fourth entity in the Trinity (which makes it a Quartet).

According to an article by Vatican Radio, it reports that Pope Francis attended the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows on Monday morning Mass at Casa Santa Marta. He made a reflection on the Virgin Mary, on how she learned, OBeyed, and suffered at the foot of the Cross.

Now The End Begins actually followed up on this news in which they related Pope Francis promoting the Virgin Mary to the status of God by citing verses 4 to 6 in the seventeenth chapter in the Book of Revelation.

"And this is our hope. We are not orphans, we have Mothers: Mother Mary. But the Church is Mother and the Mother Church is anointed when it takes the same path of Jesus and Mary: the path of OBedience, the path of suffering, and when she has that attitude of continually learning the path of the Lord. These two women –“ Mary and the Church – carry on the hope that is Christ, they give us Christ, they bring forth Christ in us. Without Mary, there would be no Jesus Christ; without the Church, we cannot go forward." The argument being presented is that Jesus Christ, the one who says that the only way to the Father is through Me, has been demoted to third place. By stating that without Mary, there would be no Jesus Christ, and with no church, they cannot move forward, Pope Francis effectually placed the Virgin Mary at the Godhead level.

 

"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."

Another thing to take notice is that the Godhead has appeared together numerous times, even in the Old Testament, meaning that Jesus Christ has existed even before he was born from the Virgin Mary. Good example is the first chapter of Genesis in which details that both the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are present during creation. And added note; the Virgin Mary though Pope Francis has promoted her to Godhead level – is not mentioned.

Pope John Paul, also much loved around the world and one who opened many modern doors for folks to more easily embrace or accept the RCC, was a great Mary idolater.

 

Even so, many Christians, including preachers and pastors, declared their belief that pope was saved, a true servant of Christ. They ignored or explained away the statements John Paul made which clearly deified Mary and set her in a position above Christ.

 

Sad to say, many are doing the same and more with this new "love everyone", "I'm okay, you're okay", pope.

 

Praise God for those who recognize this "modern style" pope for what he is; just another wolf trying to wear a sheepskin.

 

Has this pope or did John Paul ever denounce Mary worship, the praying to Catholic designated "saints" rather than to the Father?

 

No. How Christians who know the Gospel, are born again, who take solid stands in so many other areas, can be so wrong when it comes to these 'open' and 'good' popes I really don't understand.

 

Immature Christians and secular Christians I can understand how they could fall for this stuff, but it seems a growing number of believers are falling for this too.

 

I've noticed those who take a stand against the false teachings of the RCC and point out the false beliefs of the pope, are often attacked as haters. They are accused of being divisive, of not loving their fellow Christians, and of other evils.

 

Having been able to play a small part (by the grace of God) in helping Catholics see the light and be born again in Christ, forsaking the RCC, it really bothers me to see so many who should know better, embracing the pope/RCC and setting an example many others follow.

Mostly they point to the verse saying Mary will be called blessed. That's the foundation for "the Blessed Virgin Mary" which they build their false Mary worship upon. From there they have the perpetual virginity of Mary (never mind Scripture says Jesus had brothers and sisters, the RCC say they were just cousins). Somehow they came up with the idea Jesus is sitting in heaven fuming mad at us so we need to pray to Mary to keep Jesus calm.

 

Those Catholics I've been able to help come to the truth were shocked to see the clear truth of Scripture regarding these matters. Since the RCC doesn't encourage Bible reading, many Catholics have little or no idea what's actually in Scripture. If their hearts are truly desiring to be right with God, when they are shown what the Bible says is not what the RCC teaches they seem to quickly be open to the Gospel.
