Roman Catholics Severely Misrepresenting the Born Again Christian Stand on Mary
Many Roman Catholics (not all) have their own strange ideas, which even in some forums, one Roman Catholic faith defender actually gets divided against the other to no surprise to anybody who knows the secrets of the Council of Trent's divisions. So the issue now is that these Roman Catholics misrepresent the born again Christian view of Mary because of the following:
1.) In getting rid of images that are supposed to honor Mary.
Comment: Well, in the first place, there is NO WAY that any graven image is allowed for worship. Exodus 20:4-5 is frequently removed from the Roman Catholic ten commandments (and in extension the Orthodox churches) to justify the heresy of having graven images and not calling them idolatry.
2.) By saying that Mary is not the queen of heaven and every other unscriptural title given to her is to deprive her of what she truly deserves.
Comment: Note that the queen of heaven is a name for a pagan deity, not the mother of Jesus. Other titles given to Mary are like the Mediator, help of Christians, tower of David, refuge of sinners and born without sin- all that belong to the Lord Jesus Christ.
3.) That by saying that Mary the mother of Jesus is a sinner, is an insult to her.
Comment: However the Bible is clear that Mary did everything the Law demanded for sinners. Mary knew herself she needed a Savior (Luke 1:47) plus she in John 2:5 knew for well, who the people should obey- Jesus the Son of God!
4.) By saying that praying to Mary is wrong, born again Christians are insulting also her Son in the flesh because according to them, Jesus wants us to pray to His mother.
Comment: Again, there's even that crazy remark that Jesus wants us to pray to Mary. There is NO direct command or even any hint towards it. Jesus NEVER taught the Hail Mary, only the Our Father and ONLY an ignorant person would ever say that Jesus taught His disciples to pray to His earthly mother.
On the other hand, some Roman Catholic apologists however have stated that born again Christians do not hate Mary, it's just that they can't accept Marian dogma because it's not written in the Bible. To Christians reading this, let's just pray they see the truth before it's too late for them.
