Your ignorance is glaring

Honored not worshipped.

Get properly educated before making sweeping statements

Not an idol. God are you cucked.

We invoke her for her to pray for us.

You must be protestant. Run by old men who are threatened a woman was picked by God to fulfill such an important event as bearing the Christ child.

"Mother Mary conceived without sin pray for us".

It is YOU missing the entire messagr.

You probably think the immaculate conception was Christs conception.

It wasnt.

Its Mary's conception

The Incarnation. meaning the making of flesh refers to the conception of christ.

Mary's pare ts lead perfect lifes in faith. But were unable to conceive.

The immaculate conception of Mary was God given.as St Ann was well passed the age of conceiving. But she never allowed it to make her bitter or lose faith in God

So of all the people in the world God chose St Ann to immaculately conceive the Vessel that would bear the son of God to redeem the world.

You take fractured pieces of arco d hand knowledge a d form damni g opinions.

You're toxic .

Mary is neither God, nor the Son of God. She is therefore not a deity, and can neither hear, nor answer your prayers. Nowhere in scripture is she anything but a mother. Fake news.

You are a jackass, typical of those whose faith is challenged, yet have few counterarguments. All you got are insults.

Actually your ignorance is glaring.

Mary is NOT the mother of Jesus Christ. He said this Himself.

The body is a temple, you WORSHIP Mary because she birthed the flesh.

Jesus was in the beginning, and all things were created through Him.

You have no understanding of Jesus' message. Pray to the Father and ask Him for Truth, even if everything you think you know is a lie. Humble yourself and be willing to accept Him showing you that you're wrong. Put your faith in HIM.

Come out of her in the name of Jesus Christ.

God Bless.

Its not worship - it is respect for your mother; as Jesus was dying on the cross, one of the disciples was made to take Mary as his own mother - as all of humanity was to take her as their mother.

Give your mom a phone call, idiot.

It's worship.

You are only to pray to the Father, and Mary is NOT His mother. That is flesh based idol worship. The body is a temple.

Jesus told us who His mother is.

"While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” - Matthew 12:46-50

We don’t worship Mary, we venerate her. Jesus said, “Behold, my Mother”. She is the Queen of Heaven. She prompted Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding of Cana. I have a protestant friend who is very prayerful and always asks me to pray for her. I suggested she pray a few potent Hail Mary’s and she says, “Oh, no, I go straight to Jesus, I don’t need Mary.” Then why do you ask me, I’m little Mary? (Yes, my name is Mary) why are people so weird about her?

She is the Queen of Heaven.

Not found anywhere in the Bible.

I suggested she pray a few potent Hail Mary’s

Not found anywhere in the Bible.

she says, “Oh, no, I go straight to Jesus, I don’t need Mary.”

A very BIBLICAL response. We pray to God the Father, through the Son Jesus.

why are people so weird about her?

It's a huge red flag for someone that has read the New Covenant Bible and believes that it alone is God's final Word to man. It's our standard of truth. Mary is the equivalent of an idol, something other than Jesus, that is being worshiped and revered in a high place.

The "Queen Mary" and prayer to Mary stuff is not preached in the Gospel anywhere. Galatians 1:8 warns us to not add anything to the Gospel. I see people take bits and pieces of interactions with Mary in the Bible out of context and build a whole religious doctrine out of it that simply wasn't ever actually in there. You've got to first KNOW the truth written in God's Word, then you'll recognize anything doesn't match up to that truth.

Jesus Christ told you who His mother is, it's NOT Mary.

Your "veneration" (worship) of Mary is based on the Flesh.

The Mary you worship is symbolic of the Catholic church itself. You worship the church rather than God. You have her name on your forehead rather than His.

She is NOT the queen of heaven.

“‘Come out of her, my people

so that you will not share in her sins,

so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

for her sins are piled up to heaven,

and God has remembered her crimes.

Give back to her as she has given;

pay her back double for what she has done.

Pour her a double portion from her own cup.

Give her as much torment and grief

as the glory and luxury she gave herself.

In her heart she boasts,

‘I sit enthroned as queen.

I am not a widow;

I will never mourn.’

Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:

death, mourning and famine.

She will be consumed by fire,

for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

The rosary is also not of Jesus. Jesus himself told you how to pray.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one."

If you loved Him, you would keep His commands.

We do not "worship" Mary. We HONOR her as the Mother of Christ.

She is NOT His mother, He told you that. You worship Mary based on flesh rather than Spirit.

Come out of her.
