This is a picture of a statue of Mary in the Roman Catholic Church.
Every year thousands of people come to worship this statue. Here we see kids,
worshipping a statue of stone by kissing the hand. Many people put prayer candles in front of the statue of Mary. A graven statue image made of stone that has no eyes to see or hear.
Now we all know that Mary the mother of Jesus died and went to Heaven. At first they all knew that Mary was blessed among women for being chosen by the Heavenly
Father In Heaven. But some where along the line, many start thinking Mary was
Holy, without sin.
Mary was a virgin chosen to carry Jesus in her womb, that is very true.
Which we all know That Mary is not to be Worshiped as HOLY without any sin at all. Jesus Alone is to be worshiped not Mary the servant girl that was obedence to the Will of God.
The Bible says after the Birth of Jesus, Mary took a sin offering for her sins and brought it to the Priest to ask forgiveness of her sins. Most Christian Scrollars debated this subject and found out that the Bible says the sin Mary did, was arguring with her Mother over the subject of her devotion to carrying Chrsit.
Lets examine the REAL BIBLE TRUTHS in the Holy Bible on Mary.
BIBLE FACT! Mary the servant girl was a virgin. The Angel Gabiel told her she would bare a child the son of God and the Savior of the World.
Matthew 1:18 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
The Angel of the Lord confirmed to Joseph not to be troubled about Mary pregany for it was the Will of God.
Matthew 1:20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit."
The Wisemen and Shepherds did NOT WORSHIP MARY and did NOT WORSHIP a Statue of Stone graven images. They worshiped the real live baby JESUS who was newly born.
Matthew 2:11 "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
Then later on the Roman Catholic Church got mixed up in facts, started teaching that Jesus was too angry to forgive your sins, so go plead with the statue of Mary and repeat over and over again repeating in vain prayer repetitions. Which Jesus told us that DO NOT MAKE Vain repetitions of your prayers.
Jesus doesn't enjoy hearing a ritual words over and over like a broken record repeating the words over and over and over again. Jesus desires a real conversation prayer of thinking of Him as your best friend. He desires a true repentance from a sincer heart asking for his help to change your sinful ways so we can walk a better life without sin.
Where does the Prayer Rosary Beads comes from?
The Truths about the Catholic Prayer Books
The Bible Says that Jesus told us in :
Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. "
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. "
Only Jesus died on the cross to bare all of our sins, taking all of our sins upon himself.
Only Jesus can forgive sin. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
All through out history the Bible never said Jesus was too angry to forgive us. What
Jesus did say in His Love open arms, come to me I love you, and I will wash you clean
from your sins.
You don't have to ask a statue of stone for forgiveness. Just say a humble heartfelt prayer to Jesus in a whisper, asking him to come into you heart and life. Asking Jesus in prayer to give you the Holy Spirit to guide you and lead you to all His Truths. Not someone elses trues following rituals of worshiping of stone graven images that has NO EYES TO SEE OR EARS TO HEAR.

Here we see the Roman Catholic Papal Pope worshipping and bowing down to an graven image of Mary the statue, not Mary the person. The Holy Bible says this act is forbidden and is called putting a stumbling block of Jezebell ways to the make the True Christian Children of Israel fall away from the True Ways that Jesus told us to walk. This is what the Heavenly Father said not to do in the Ten Commandments. To make any graven images of stones, and NOT worship a graven image made of stone, and NOT to put candles in front of statues. This is called in the BIBLE a sin of Evil Baal worship to the Queen of Heaven Baal rituals.
All throughout The Bible Old Testament history every time a
graven image idol statue is put up in their land. God lead his people into captivity or death. Many Christians do not know there are thousands of statues with hidden history that has been made from a person memory. And thousands of these statues have history of pagan goddess rites.
WHO IS THE REAL MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS ?
THE REAL BIBLE TRUTHS TO MARY!
| Easton's Bible Dictionary |
Mary: Hebrew Miriam. ( 1.) The wife of Joseph, the mother of Jesus,
called the "Virgin Mary," though never so designated in
Scripture ( Mat 2:11; Act 1:14). Little is known of her
personal history. Her genealogy is given in Luke 3. She was of
the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David ( Psa 132:11; Luk 1:32). She was connected by marriage with Elisabeth, who was of
the lineage of Aaron ( Luk 1:36).
While she resided at Nazareth with her parents, before she
became the wife of Joseph, the angel Gabriel announced to her
that she was to be the mother of the promised Messiah ( Luk 1:35). After this she went to visit her cousin Elisabeth, who
was living with her husband Zacharias ( Jos 15:55; 21:16, in the neighbourhood of Maon), at a considerable
distance, about 100 miles, from Nazareth. Immediately on
entering the house she was saluted by Elisabeth as the mother of
her Lord, and then forthwith gave utterance to her hymn of
thanksgiving ( Luk 1:46-56; 1Sa 2:1-10). After three
months Mary returned to Nazareth to her own home. Joseph was
supernaturally made aware ( Mat 1:18-25) of her condition, and
took her to his own home. Soon after this the decree of Augustus
( Luk 2:1) required that they should proceed to Bethlehem ( Mic 5:2), some 80 or 90 miles from Nazareth; and while they were
there they found shelter in the inn or khan provided for
strangers ( Luk 2:6,7). But as the inn was crowded, Mary had to
retire to a place among the cattle, and there she brought forth
her son, who was called Jesus ( Mat 1:21), because he was to
save his people from their sins. This was followed by the
presentation in the temple, the flight into Egypt, and their
return in the following year and residence at Nazareth ( 2). There for thirty years Mary, the wife of Joseph the Mat 2). There for thirty years Mary, the wife of Joseph the
carpenter, resides, filling her own humble sphere, and pondering
over the strange things that had happened to her. During these
years only one event in the history of Jesus is recorded, viz.,
his going up to Jerusalem when twelve years of age, and his
being found among the doctors in the temple ( Luk 2:41-52).
Probably also during this period Joseph died, for he is not
again mentioned.
After the commencement of our Lord's public ministry little
notice is taken of Mary. She was present at the marriage in
Cana. A year and a half after this we find her at Capernaum
( Mat 12:46,48,49), where Christ uttered the memorable words,
"Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched
forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother
and my brethren!" The next time we find her is at the cross
along with her sister Mary, and Mary Magdalene, and Salome, and
other women ( Jhn 19:26). From that hour John took her to his
own abode. She was with the little company in the upper room
after the Ascension ( Act 1:14). From this time she wholly
disappears from public notice. The time and manner of her death
are unknown.
( 2.) Mary Magdalene, i.e., Mary of Magdala, a town on the
western shore of the Lake of Tiberias. She is for the first time
noticed in Luk 8:3 as one of the women who "ministered to
Christ of their substance." Their motive was that of gratitude
for deliverances he had wrought for them. Out of Mary were cast
seven demons. Gratitude to her great Deliverer prompted her to
become his follower. These women accompanied him also on his
last journey to Jerusalem ( Mat 27:55; Mar 15:41; Luk 23:55).
They stood near the cross. There Mary remained till all was
over, and the body was taken down and laid in Joseph's tomb.
Again, in the earliest dawn of the first day of the week she,
with Salome and Mary the mother of James ( Mat 28:1; Mar 16:2), came to the sepulchre, bringing with them sweet spices,
that they might anoint the body of Jesus. They found the
sepulchre empty, but saw the "vision of angels" ( Mat 28:5).
She hastens to tell Peter and John, who were probably living
together at this time ( Jhn 20:1,2), and again immediately
returns to the sepulchre. There she lingers thoughtfully,
weeping at the door of the tomb. The risen Lord appears to her,
but at first she knows him not. His utterance of her name "Mary"
recalls her to consciousness, and she utters the joyful,
reverent cry, "Rabboni." She would fain cling to him, but he
forbids her, saying, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to
my Father." This is the last record regarding Mary of Magdala,
who now returned to Jerusalem. The idea that this Mary was "the
woman who was a sinner," or that she was unchaste, is altogether
groundless.
( 3.) Mary the sister of Lazarus is brought to our notice in
connection with the visits of our Lord to Bethany. She is
contrasted with her sister Martha, who was "cumbered about many
things" while Jesus was their guest, while Mary had chosen "the
good part." Her character also appears in connection with the
death of her brother ( Jhn 11:20,31,33). On the occasion of our
Lord's last visit to Bethany, Mary brought "a pound of ointment
of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus" as he
reclined at table in the house of one Simon, who had been a
leper ( Mat 26:6; Mar 14:3; Jhn 12:2,3). This was an evidence
of her overflowing love to the Lord. Nothing is known of her
subsequent history. It would appear from this act of Mary's, and
from the circumstance that they possessed a family vault
( 11:38), and that a large number of Jews from Jerusalem came to
condole with them on the death of Lazarus ( 11:19), that this
family at Bethany belonged to the wealthier class of the people.
( See MARTHA T0002426.)
( 4.) Mary the wife of Cleopas is mentioned ( Jhn 19:25) as
standing at the cross in company with Mary of Magdala and Mary
the mother of Jesus. By comparing Mat 27:56 and Mar 15:40, we
find that this Mary and "Mary the mother of James the little"
are on and the same person, and that she was the sister of our
Lord's mother. She was that "other Mary" who was present with
Mary of Magdala at the burial of our Lord ( Mat 27:61; Mar 15:47); and she was one of those who went early in the morning
of the first day of the week to anoint the body, and thus became
one of the first witnesses of the resurrection ( Mat 28:1; Mar 16:1; Luk 24:1).
( 5.) Mary the mother of John Mark was one of the earliest of
our Lord's disciples. She was the sister of Barnabas ( Col 4:10), and joined with him in disposing of their land and giving
the proceeds of the sale into the treasury of the Church ( Act 4:37; 12:12). Her house in Jerusalem was the common
meeting-place for the disciples there.
( 6.) A Christian at Rome who treated Paul with special
kindness ( Rom 16:6).
