Biblical
Mary and Catholic Mary

If we read the biblical passages that speak of Mary, we
will clearly see the
place Mary occupies, before the public ministry of Jesus, during the
public
ministry of Jesus, and after his death and resurrection we can also see
very
clearly the role played by Mary after Pentecost and her relations with
Jesus’
brethren. After Pentecost (30 AD), we know nothing at all about Mary. It
is
possible that she died shortly afterward. Not even Luke mentions her
again in
ACTS, nor do we find any passages in the Apostolic Epistles of the New
Testament about her. Less certain are the Catholic affirmations
concerning
the assumption of her body and soul into heaven, taken up by angels, and
other such fantasies, etc . . . Satan knoweth how to craftily falsify
the
bible to confuse Catholics into believing that Mary is a goddess. Let me
annotate that the majority of canonized saints, virgins, and marian
advocations have never been existed but are still adored by millions of
Catholics; who direct their petitions and prayers to such vanities
instead of
invoking Jesus Christ directly. This is just one more major reason that
separates the true Christian Churches from the Catholic Churches Rome’s
Mariolatry!
