Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Introduction
1. 0:17 {Can Megachurches be Effective?} From a biblical and
practical standpoint, is there a maximum number of people that
can or should make up a local church? Assuming their doctrine is
biblical, can a megachurch with multiple satellite sites or
campuses be an effective church?
2. 13:52 {Was Mary Surprised about Jesus’ Deity?} If Mary was
aware of the immaculate conception (visited by an angel, etc.),
why in Mark 3: 21 does it seem she’s surprised about Jesus being
the Messiah? Scripture says His "family" that goes to "take
charge of Him" for being out of His mind are His mother &
brothers. Why would Mary think He is out of His mind if she had
been visited by an angel?
3. 19:40 {About the Apostles’ Martyrdom} A big defense for
Christianity is that the Apostles died & were tortured, never
recanting Jesus. How are the Heavens Gate & Jonestown 1978
incidents any different? They all willingly died for a lie, too.
4. 24:33 {Who are the Called & Chosen in Matt.?} Who are the
called & chosen ones in Matthew 22: 14? Is it God who does both
the calling & the choosing?
5. 30:32 {Does Jesus Mean “Hail Zeus”?} What do you say to
people who claim that the name Jesus really means “hail Zeus”?
They say one is unknowingly doing witchcraft by using the name
Jesus. Why didn’t His name just continue as Yeshua?
6. 35:17 {Is John 15 Works-Based?} Is John 15 works-based? v.10
says, “IF you keep my commandments, THEN you will abide in my
love.” That sounds like obedience earns God's love, contrary to
the Gospel. What does a life of "abiding" look like daily?
7. 42:25 {Ways to Grow in Christ} I've recently found a renewed
desire to get closer with God and was just wondering if you have
any advice about how to do so.
8. 44:05 {Did God Ordain Animal Sacrifices?} Does Jeremiah 7: 22
& Matthew 9: 13 indicate God never ordained animal sacrifices?
To me it seems God has gradually moved mankind away from
sacrifices & idol worship and into His ideal form of religion.
9. 54:05 {About Angels} I know that we are made in the image and
likeness of God and are called God’s children, but what are
angels to God? Are they made in the image and likeness of God?
Are they God’s children?
10. 57:22 {Is there a Contradiction?} In Matthew 2: 19-22, was
Joseph’s second dream (vs. 22) from God? God says all who mean
to kill you are dead, but God warns him again. Some translations
of vs. 22 leave out “God.” Is this a contradiction?
11. 1:00:40 {How Many People are in Heaven?} It's estimated that
60% of natural conceptions fail to implant in the uterus and
that at least 50 billion people lived until now. Does that mean
there are around 75 billion people in Heaven?
12. 1:05:32 {How to Recognize the Spirit vs. Enemy} How do we
know when we feel the Holy Spirit that it isn't a trick from
Satan making us think that it’s God? And how do you know Jesus’s
resurrection wasn’t a false miracle/wonder by Satan?
13. 1:09:26 {How to Glorify God as an Artist} I like to draw and
write fiction in my spare time, and I want to glorify God as
best I can doing this. Is there anything I should do or avoid
doing as a Christian artist?
14. 1:11:19 {Does Forgiveness Challenge Responsibility?} My
grandma rejects Christianity because she claims relying on the
forgiveness of a savior teaches us that we don’t have to be
responsible for our own actions. How can I help her untangle
that belief?
15. 1:14:35 {About the “Day of the Lord”} What must come first,
per 2 Thessalonians 2:3? Does “apostasia” mean a spiritual
falling away/rebellion, or a physical departure, as in the
rapture?
16. 1:19:03 {What does “Cowardly” Mean in Revelation?} Can you
shed some light on what Revelation 21:8 really means by the
cowardly or the fearful having a special place in the lake of
fire?
17. 1:21:31 {About Liberal & Conservative Christians} It seems
like conservative Christians are biblical with respect to
personal morality, to the exclusion of societal justice - and
liberal ones vice versa. Why? Is one more important? How do we
reconcile the extremes?
18. 1:26:36 {Forming a Biblical Self-Image} How do I overcome
self hate? Whenever I look at myself, I see a sinner and a
failure and it's hard to see God as a loving Father when all I
can see Him as is a judge, and I'm afraid of Him at times.
19. 1:30:46 {About the Marks of Stigmata} What do you think
about the marks of the stigmata? Is there any way this could be
biblical, even if someone isn't Catholic?
20. 1:33:43 {About God Revealing Himself to Mankind} If God
wants you to be saved more than you do, why doesn’t He reveal
Himself to everyone like He did to Paul? Wouldn't more people be
saved if they had the same “Road to Damascus” experience that
Paul had?
Here's my website with a new clip search feature for finding
exactly where in a video a particular issue is addressed.

Agelbert COMMENT: In regard to the person having self hate
issues in question 18:
Self hate can often be the result of worldly grief. Godly grief
is indispensable for victory against sin, as the Scripture makes
clear (see below).
II Corinthians 7:9-10 (English Standard Version)
As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because
you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so
that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a
repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas
worldly grief produces death.

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a
doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in
a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once
forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect
law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who
forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Introduction
1. 0:48 {Does Scripture Promote Evil Things?} I’ve been
challenged with the accusation that the Bible “promotes killing,
[img
width=30]
HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/5482_label%20for%20the%20word%20rape.png[/img],<br
/>and slavery,” quoting Numbers 31: 15-18. I don’t want to simpl
y
prove them wrong; that doesn’t address this person’s heart.
Would you please help?
2. 18:36 {About the Death Penalty} As a follow up to your
teaching on the death penalty, this question is from my skeptic
brother: "Isn't it better to rehabilitate offenders in hopes
that they may come to repentance and give their lives to God?"
3. 22:32 {About the Apostles & Judas’ Position} I’ve heard it
taught that the Apostles were being presumptuous when filling
Judas’ empty position. Why did they choose to apply Psalm 69: 25
and Psalm 109:8 to the situation?
4. 30:38 {Can we See God’s Face & Still Live?} Exodus 33: 20
says "no one can see my face and live.” How do we reconcile this
with Exodus 33: 11 which says, "the Lord would speak to Moses
face to face, as to a friend"?
5. 36:02 {About the 70th Week & Seven Seals} Is there any
biblical evidence that the beginning of Daniel's 70th week and
Jesus opening the first of the seven seals in Revelation will
occur roughly at the same time?
6. 37:44 {Why Didn’t God Rewrite Difficult Passages?} Can you
explain the Holy Spirit Inspiration Doctrine? I struggle with
understanding why God did not rewrite controversial Bible
passages. I know I am only a man, and I seek to understand.
7. 41:35 {Advice for an Unequally Yoked Marriage} My wife is an
unbeliever. The more I attend church, the more strain it puts on
our marriage. Is it right to continue going to church, or should
I stop? (1 Corinthians 7: 14) I pray for her every day.
8. 44:40 {About the Book of Numbers} What is the best way to
read the book of Numbers? What’s some really cool stuff about it
and how it ties to JESUS?
9. 47:36 {Is “Deliverance” / Demon Casting Biblical?} I'm
wondering about your thoughts on deliverance. Would you consider
calling and identifying demons biblical, or is it not?
10. 50:43 {Reconciling 2 Important Verses/Worldly Christians?}
Can you explain Matthew 7: 21 vs. Romans 10: 13? Also, how do
you spot worldly Christians (1 Corinthians 3:1) from those who
are unsaved but have good works (Matthew 7: 22-23)? Shouldn't we
have grace for sanctification?
[move]James Chapter 1:14-18 📢 What good is it, my
brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly
clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them,
“Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the
things needed for the body, what good is that? [b]So also faith
by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will
say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart
from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
👉 James Chapter 1:14-18 ESV[/move]
11. 55:15 {Advice for Christian College Students} What advice do
you have for Christians in college?
12. 59:12 {Is there Hope After Death for the Unsaved?}
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-111018132332-16812332.gif<br
/>Can the Gospel be preached to the dead? According to 1 Peter
4:6, is there any hope for people after they die? Also, in 1
Peter 3:19-20, what does “preached unto the spirits in prison”
mean?
13. 1:03:43 {About Assurance of Salvation} How can I be sure
that I am going to Heaven when I die?
14. 1:06:35 {How is Satan the World’s Ruler?} Can you explain
how Satan became the ruler of this world?
15. 1:09:48 {About Salvation by Grace vs. Our Efforts} If we
don't have to do works to get saved, why does Jesus tell us to
"make every effort to enter through the narrow door" in Luke 13:
24?
16. 1:13:07 {Help for Anxiety over Unsaved Loved Ones} How do I
combat anxiety about my newborn daughter’s salvation? It’s a
difficult topic for me due to my younger brother walking away
from the faith as a teenager.
17. 1:16:10 {About God’s Omnipotence & Non-Contradiction} Since
God can’t contradict Himself, does that mean that His power is
limited in a way? I know God is all powerful, but what is the
logical reason behind Him being powerful and non-contradictory?
18. 1:20:06 {About Vaccines & Aborted Fetal Tissue} What are
your thought on vaccines using aborted fetal cell lines for
development? I’m about to lose my job at big MN clinic if I
don’t get the vaccine and struggle with this issue.
19. 1:26:26 {About being Satisfied in God} How can you know that
you are satisfied in God? How does it manifest practically? Does
doing Christian things mean I'm satisfied in God? Can’t I do
Christian stuff and still not be satisfied in Him?
20. 1:28:59 {Is Pledging Allegiance Idolatry?} Is pledging
allegiance to a country or flag a form of idolatry?
To ask a question for the stream just be there as the stream
begins, wait until after it starts and post your question with a
"Q" in front of it. You can also put "ANQ" to ask anonymously.

In my opinion, people are often one-sided when dealing with the
topic of Halloween (or holidays in general). I hope to add
something worthwhile to the conversation as I bring up 7
different issues to consider related to Halloween.
[quote]Tony Cruz 🕊️ 3 months ago 👍
Mike, I appreciate your careful thinking on this subject. I
myself wasted 8 years of my life in occultism where this was a
sacred day so I personally don't celebrate it for this reason.
But here is my thought, the cute princess and the cool cowboy
will most often turn into the sexy nurse and the zombie cowboy.
And I'm not even gonna touch the fact of the outreach from
occultism.[/quote]
[quote]Eden Elston 🕊️ 2 weeks ago 👍
The fact that 1) candy is available year round, and 2) kids can
play dress up year round, 3) parents can give their kids candy
and costumes year round, why would a parent choose to engage in
celebration/observance of a holiday (holy day) of the occult? I
can't see a logical reason for a Christian to continue the
observance at all. It's like yoga practice. I completed a yoga
teacher training. Surface level, it is physical exercise. But
when you understand the why and how of the physical practice,
you cannot separate it from its heretical spiritual aspects. The
poses have purpose, they prostrate oneself to false gods and
demons. The thing is, we are Spirit beings in a physical body-
what the body does the Spirit follows. And this is why Halloween
is a danger. Because it provides an opportunity for greater
satanic/demonic influence. God refused to be worshipped as
pagans worshipped their gods. Appropriating every pagan practice
to Christianity because it's fun and not "inherently wrong"
doesn't mean God is pleased with it[/quote].

I'll demonstrate how NOT to do typology by using examples of
Catholic apologists twisting the Bible out of shape to squeeze
the dogmas about Mary into the scripture.
The types of Mary are supposedly the New Eve, the Ark of the New
Covenant and the Queen Mother. But when we examine them we see
that they not only aren't types, they don't give the dogmas that
Catholic apologists pretend they do.
From the "New Eve" they want to say that Mary was immaculately
conceived (that she was born without sin and never sinned
through her life). From the "Ark of the New Covenant" they want
to say she was perpetually a virgin (even after Jesus' birth)
and that she was taken bodily up into heaven at the end of her
life. From the "Queen Mother" they want to say she is exalted to
the right hand of Jesus and can intercede for us today.
Agelbert NOTE: I had an interesting exchange with a Catholic
determined to defend his worship of Mary, who is, according to
Catholic Dogma, the "Queen Mother of Heaven".
Anthony Gelbert 2 days ago
Worshipping an alleged "Queen of Heaven" is idolatry that was
condemned by the Prophet Jeremiah in the Old Testament.
Catholics, rather conveniently, do not wish to equate their
usage of “queen of heaven” with the book of Jeremiah. However,
one cannot miss the fact that the phrase "queen of heaven" in
Jeremiah is a CLEAR reference to idolatry.
Jeremiah 7:18 English Standard Version
The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women
knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. And they
pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
See also Jeremiah 44:17–19 and Jeremiah 44:25.
The Catholic Dogma advocating the worship of, and prayer to,
Mary, is Heresy. My Christian wife told her (Catholic) mother,
"The Catholic Church is trying to morph the Holy Trinity into
the "Holy Quartet.". That is Blasphemy!
mike teixeira > Anthony Gelbert 2 days ago
As a Catholic, I adore the Mother of my Savior; Her ' YES
' to God's Will gave us a shot at eternal life with
God.......no apologies !!!
Anthony Gelbert >mike teixeira 2 days ago
Your ' NO ' to Holy Scripture that was written by Jeremiah the
Prophet is not something Mary would have done. Mary certainly is
Blessed among women, but she was NOT "born without original
sin". In so many words, Mary herself admitted that (see Luke
1:46-55 below).
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit
rejoices in 👉God my Savior,👈
👉for he👈has looked on the
👉humble estate of his servant.👈
👉For behold, from now on all generations will call me
blessed; for
👉he who is mighty 👈
👉has done great things for me, and
👉holy is his name👈. And his mercy is for those
who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown
strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the
thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from
their thrones and
👉exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the
hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He
has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as
👉he spoke to
👉our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
Luke 1:46-55 ESV
Adam and Eve, though never conceived, were created, I am sure
you agree, without original sin. Consequently, Adam an Eve did
not need a Savior before their Fall. Mary rejoiced in God her
🕊Savior. Everyone with original sin requires a
🕊Savior.
Furthermore, according to Mary herself, her 🕊Savior
spoke to "our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever."
Jeremiah the Prophet was one of those Saints that He spoke to.
Jeremiah said 'YES' to ☝🏻 his calling✨, as
did ☝🏻Mary ✨. Mary would never have
rejected what Jeremiah wrote. Yet sadly, you do. What makes you
think Mary would not find the very idea of her being proclaimed
the "Queen of Heaven" by you a Blasphemy? The Holy One is God,
as Mary said. Mary did not die for our sins, our Savior Jesus
Christ did.
Mary, like all the Saints, is to be venerated, but we pray to
God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Why would anybody
think we need to pray to anyone but God Himself?
Jesus Christ is our intercessor. There is no other. Mary never
claimed to be anything but an obedient servant of humble estate.
Why don't you trust the words of Mary herself? Her allegiance
was to her Savior, as ours must be too, in order to obtain
eternal life with God. 🕯️
mike teixeira > Anthony Gelbert 1 day ago
@Anthony Gelbert ...............There are two ways to be saved
as is written in the Lord's Prayer..........see Matt. 6:
13..........before temptation or delivered from evil.
Mary is Queen of heaven because Her Son is the King of Kings
after the Davidic reign........see Luke 1: 32. In the
Davidic reign, it is the mother of the king that has open
access to the throne to intercede for the people. Compare
Bathsheba, both as wife then as mother of the king in 1 Kings
1: 16 with 1 Kings 2: 19.
Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 19 hours ago
@mike teixeira Solomon told Bathsheba, "NO WAY!" to her
request. His polite initial greeting was the part where you seem
to have stopped reading. If you had continued reading, you would
learn that Solomon's brother was attempting to use Queen Mother
Bathsheba to steal Solomon's kingdom. Solomon saw right through
that and had his brother killed after telling Bathsheba that she
was WAY out of line in making that request. "Access" and
"intercessory power" by a Queen Mother was limited to whatever
the King said, period. She did NOT ever have the power to
"command" zip from the king.
And anyways, what, EXACTLY, does the Davidic kingdom hierarchy
structure have to do with Mary??? As far as I can tell from
carefully reading Old Testament Scripture, absolutely nothing.
So, based on Solomon's DENIAL of the Queen Mother Bathsheba's
request, for you to try to build case for Mary as an
"intercessor" between us and Jesus Christ is illogical as well
as wishful thinking.
If you want to bring up a successful intercessor during Davidic
kingdom times, you MUST point to David's top military man, Joab,
who interceded on behalf of Absalom. Joab was a successful
intercessor! Bathsheba was definitely NOT a successful
intercessor. Yet you want to use her unsuccesful intercession as
"typology" for "Queen Mother" Mary as an "intercessor" between
us and Jesus???
Is the issue for you successful intercession or not? If the key
adjective is "successful", Queen Mother Bathsheba need not
apply. So, trying to associate Bathsheba with "Queen Mother"
Mary is of no use.
On the topic of successful intercession, General Joab was not
the only successful intercessor with a King of Israel. Even
before David became King, another example of successful
intercession with the King is Jonathan, King Saul's son, who
successfully interceded on behalf of David to keep King Saul
from killing David.
In summary, as is irrefutably written in Old Testament
Scripture, the Queen Mother during Davidic kingdom times had no
special advantage over either the son of a King or his top
military man in the ability to intercede on behalf of somebody.
So, this "Queen of Heaven" concept does not match up with
Davidic kingdom access or intercessory power.
Therefore there is no Scriptural basis for a "Mary Queen Mother
of Heaven" interceding for us with Jesus Christ. And no, just
because they were successful intercessors during Davidic Kingdom
times, I will certainly not pray to Joab or Jonathan. I will
continue to pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
There is no other intercessor between us and God but God's Son,
although many Catholics labor under the flawed belief that Mary
has some kind of "soft tough" with Jesus that will get believers
some blessings that Jesus is "too busy to give".
I was a Catholic for over 40 years. I know all about praying to
that saint for misplaced items items or that other saint when
you are lost or that wearing the scapular thing for a period of
time or the "promises" from Mary to "guarantee salvation" if we
go to Mass on certain extra days and the statues being carried
from home to home to make us more "holy", and so on. It is all
idolatry. If that offends you, please read this:
Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my
recompense with me, to REPAY EACH ONE FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. 13 I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the
beginning and the end.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their
robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and
that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the
dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and
IDOLATERS, and EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND PRACTICES FALSEHOOD.16 “I,
Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things
for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the
bright morning star.” 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.”
And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is
thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life
without price. 18 I WARN EVERYONE who hears the words of the
prophecy of this book: IF ANYONE ADDS TO THEM, God will add to
him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take
away his share in qhe tree of life and in the holy city, which
are described in this book. 20 He who testifies to these things
says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The
grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
THINK, man, THINK!
mike teixeira > Anthony Gelbert 11 hours ago
@Anthony Gelbert ..........The point is this, the king makes
the decision.........his mother makes the intercession for the
people. In John 2: 1-11, they got the BEST WINE.
Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 4 hours ago
@mike teixeira So now you want to present Christ's water into
wine miracle, written about in John, as the basis for Mary as an
intercessor, even though there is zero basis for Mary as an
intercessor for Old Testament Davidic kingdom Scripture? What
did Mary say at that wedding? Mary said, “Do whatever HE tells
you.”. Yet, the Catholic Church REFUSES to do what Christ
actually tells us to do.
Where does Christ tell us what we actually must do? Throughout
the New Testament, of course. And, while we are on the subject
of Christ's miracle at Cana, as written by John, please remember
that John also wrote Revelation. If there was any Scriptural
Basis for Mary as an intercessor, based on her asking Christ to
help out at the wedding at Cana, John would have said so in
Revelation. Do you find Mary mentioned anywhere in the Book of
Revelation? No. The only female symbol in the Book of Revelation
that has Scriptural Basis is the Bride of Christ, which you know
is a symbol for the Church, not Mary as an alleged "Queen of
Heaven".
Mike, when you placed all those exclamation marks after the "No
apologies" portion of your initial comment defending the fact
that you worship Mary, I felt the need to contend for the Faith
🕊️ through sound Christian Doctrine. Thoughout
this exchange, I kept in mind that, even if your injured pride
keeps you from embracing these truths, other Catholics, more
receptive to sound Christian doctrine, may read the exchange and
see the Heretic, Idolatrous errors in Catholicism and seek
Salvation through Christ. 🕊️ Otherwise, they are
sadly doomed to perdition. As Paul said in Galatians, God is not
mocked. ☝🏻
Mike, I will remember you in my prayers. May God have mercy on
you and bring you to life everlasting, Amen.
Proverbs 28:23 Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more
favor than he who flatters with his tongue.
James 5:19-20 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should
wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back,
remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their
way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of
sins. 🕊
II Peter 2:1-3 But false prophets also arose among the people,
just as there will be false teachers among you, who will
secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master
who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And
many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way
of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will
exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago
is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Proverbs 22:8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the
rod of his fury will fail.
Proverbs 27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar
among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart
from him.

@Anthony Gelbert .........YOU missed the part when Mary told
Jesus, " They have no more wine.' That is an intercession.
Anthony Gelbert > mike teixeira 1 second ago
@mike teixeira 🤔 No, the statement by Mary, " They have
no more wine." wasn't an intercession. Jesus Christ did what he
did, including the miracle of the water into wine and all the
other miracles he performed, when he performed them, because of
THIS:
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my
judgment is just, for I seek 👉not to please myself
👈 but him 👈 who sent me. John 5:30
Well then, did Mary intercede with God the Father at the wedding
in Cana? You probably think so, because Mariologists are always
looking for something to provide Scriptural evidence for their
"Mary Queen of Heaven" case. Again, you would be heretically
guilty of cherry picking without any Scriptural context
whatsoever.
Of His own admission, Christ said He said and did ONLY what the
Father told Him to say and do. If you doubt that BASIC TENET of
New Testament Holy Scripture, then I have nothing further to say
to you, because you have totally lost it in regard to the Misson
of Christ on Earth.
However, if you DO admit to the irrefutable Scriptural TRUTH
that Christ only said and did what God the Father told Him to
say and do, then you have to look at ALL the interactions
between Mary and Jesus Christ, as quoted in Scripture, to see if
your "Mary is the intercessor for us with Christ" case has merit
or not. But Catholic Mariologists didn't do that, because then
their, "Mary is the intercessor for us with Christ" case falls
apart (see below).
Matthew 12:48-50 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.”
And, that isn't the only place that Christ disregarded Mary's
attempt to influence His actions, but Mariologists either don't
read the New Testament objectively, or they just ignore any
inconvenient passages that don't fit their Mariology Procrustean
Bed Heresy. 👎
Did you read about what happened in Nazareth when Christ had
difficulty performing miracles because of the unbelief there?
Mary lived there! Why didn't Mary have anything to say when
Christ bemoaned the unbelief of the people there? Because she
was as human, and needing Salvation, as the rest of us!
Please keep in mind that it was God the Father that told Christ
this:
Mark 6:4-6 "A prophet is not WITHOUT HONOR except in his own
country, AMONG HIS OWN RELATIVES, and in his OWN HOUSE." Now HE
COULD DO NO MIGHTY WORK THERE, except that He laid His hands on
a few sick people and healed them. And HE MARVELED BECAUSE OF
THEIR UNBELIEF. Then He went about the villages in a circuit,
teaching.
There are other passages, too, but I'll stop for brevity.
It is clear from all your comments that you obviously didn't
watch, all the way through, the excellent solidly Scripture
Based video this comment stream is on by Pastor Mike Winger
👉 Catholic Apologists ABUSE SCRIPTURE to TEACH
MARIOLOGY: How to find Jesus in the OT pt 15.
What you are doing is parroting, after swallowing, hook, line
and heretical sinker, whatever the Catholic Church cherry picks
in a Scripture passage to Mariology typology twist, Mike.
👎🤦‍♂️
What you cannot seem to get is the FACT that Christ's
Incarnation, while sine qua non to our Salvation by his
sacrifice on the Cross over 30 years later, was a DESCENT for
Him. The Angels were celebrating Him at Christ's birth, not
Mary. Being born of a virgin DID NOT "elevate" said virgin Mary
beyond being blessed among women, but you Mariologists want to
crown her with some great and exalted "Queen of Heaven" Heresy
simply because you think it was a big deal that she submitted to
the will of God, as Mosaic Law REQUIRED ALL Jews to do.
🦉 By the way, do you read the Bible regularly? I don't
think so, because if you did, you would understand that what you
are doing right now is judged severely by God. ☝🏻
🚩There are many passages in Holy Scripture that make it
clear that those who teach heresy, like all Mariologists, are a
disgrace in the eyes of God. Here is just one of them:
You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is
like a sharpened razor. You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth. You love every harmful
word, you deceitful tongue! Surely God will bring you down to
everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your
tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. 👉
Psalm 52:2-5
