Bible lesson # 9: Pope: Mary has to stay in your house. Bible: Idols of Mary banned

«All Catholic priests are called to accept her into their home. Just like St. John».

This is a statement by the Pope of Rome during a general audience Castel Gandolfo on Wednesday. The pontiff spoke of there being a «nexus between the blessed virgin Mary and the priesthood».

«Mary is truly and profoundly involved in the mystery of the Incarnation, of our salvation. … Sacrifice, the priesthood and the Incarnation go together and Mary is at the heart of this mystery» the Pontiff said

The Pope praying to an idol of stone and wood

Pope Benedict also reflected on the tie between priests and Mary. From the cross, Jesus sees his mother and the beloved apostle, an important individual, but more importantly a prefigurement of loved people and especially all priests.

«The Second Vatican Council invites priests to see Mary as the perfect model of their existence», the Pope added.
The Pope continued:

«This applies to all Christians, but especially for priests. Every priest can and should truly feel himself to be the son of this most holy and most humble mother», he said.

My comment:

The Pope is trying to explain to us, that we can accept the Mother of Jesus into our house. Since she is no longer present on Earth, as she was when John was called to take her to his house, there are only two options left for us:

1. We can invite the Spirit of Mary into our house

2. We can bring an idol of Mary into our house

I guess there some might say there is also another option: «We can invite the teachings of Mary into our house» But since she never presented a teaching of here own, and did not leave any books or letters behind, I guess that option is not valid.

Roman Catholic promote and defend the sin of idol worship.

Lets take a deeper look into the two other options:

1. If we invite the Spirit of Mary into our house, that Spirit will surely come. But is will be a demon. Why? Because Jesus said that He would send us God the Holy Spirit if we obey Him. He never mentioned that we should pray to Him for the return of the Spirit of His departed earthly mother.

2. If we invite and idol of Mary into our house, we need to ask our selves:

A: God of the Bible says He hates idols. (Multiple verses). Who gave the Pope permission to make idols of wood and stone?

B. Since the Mother of Jesus was a faithful Jewess, and did surely not make idols, how would she react if someone claimed they have an idol of her in their house? Would she approve you breaking the Law of Moses?

C: Since the first Messianic Jews observed the Law of Moses, and did not make idols, paintings or drawings of the Jewish Mother of Jesus. How do the Catholic priests know that these idols, of who they claim is the Queen of Heaven, is the mother of Jesus?

Back to the Bible:

Why did Jesus tell the Apostle John to take his mother into his house?

If her husband Joseph had not passed away, it would be a blunt insult to let the mother of Jesus go and stay in the house of an unmarried Jewish man. But If mother Mary was left alone, she needed shelter.

Since the Mother of Jesus has departed for Heaven, she is no longer alone. You do not have to invite her to your house. Instead, you should listen to her voice from the Gospel, in John 2:5:

«His mother said to the servants: Do whatever he tells you.»

If you do not listen to Her, you will commit blasphemy against both her and her God. If not repented for, you will surely die in your sins of idol worship. Praying to «Catholic Mary» or clinging to idols you think is of her, will lead you through the gates of Hell.

This is the truth.

Bible studies # 27: God tests us by letting Satan perform sign and wonders

Both the true Messiah and the anti-Messiah will perform miracles. True faith in Jesus is accepting Him as the only way to Heaven, and doing the will of our Father.

People who do not believe in sign and miracles, should read the book of Deuteronomy.

Deuteronomy 13: 1-4

If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.

God allows us to experience miracles for many reasons:

A: God wants to test our motivation:

1. To test if we demands a miracle to believe in him.
2. To see if we take credit for the miracle that has occurred.
3. To see if we start collecting money for the miracles performed.
4. To see if the miracle performed, lead us to follow other Gods.

B: Our God is a God of great miracles:

Psalm 77:14
You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

C: That God performs miracles, is no guarantee that people will believe in Him

Psalm 106:7
When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.

D: That miracles has occurred, is no guaranty that Jesus will acknowledge the workers of miracles:

Matthew: 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

E: That Jesus performed miracles, was no guaranty that people repented from their sins:

Matthew 11:20
[ Woe on Unrepentant Cities ] Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

Luke 10:13
“Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

F: Jesus could not perform many miracles, where people did not have faith in Him:

Matthew 13:58
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Mark 6:5
He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

G: God permits false «Jesus´es» and prophets to perform miracles:

Matthew 24:24
For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

H: Jesus did not tell his disciples to stop workers of miracles:

Mark 9:39
Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me.

I: Jesus performed miracles to make stubborn people believe in God the Father:

John 14:11
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

Acts 2:22
“Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.

J: Simon saw many miracles, and wanted to buy the Miracles powers with money:

Acts 8:13
Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.

K: Paul was a worker of miracles:

Acts 19:11
God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,

2 Corinthians 12:12
The things that mark an apostle—signs, wonders and miracles—were done among you with great perseverance.

L: One gift of the Holy Spirit, is to be a miracle worker:

1 Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.

M: In the end times, the disciples of Satan will have the power to perform miracles:

2 Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.

Since there are both true and false miracles in our days. How can we discern the difference between miracles?

Some guidelines:

True Miracles:

1. Will give Jesus Christ all the honor and glory.
2. The performer, will not take any credit for performing miracles.
3. There will be no demand for money from the miracles worker.
4. The miracle worker will preach the need for repentance, to avoid eternal judgment. (Healing without repentance, has no value).
5. The miracles will lead people to lasting repentance.
6. The worker of miracles will set people free, to follow Jesus Christ.
7. People will not demand a miracles to believe in the message from Jesus Christ. The miracle often surface to confirm the present direction, or to show the new direction in the middle of a cross road.

Satan will like to perform a miracle in the name of «Jesus» when:

1. When some kind of strange and unknown «Jesus» is preached.
2. There is no preaching about repentance, u-turns.
3. The miracle worker will take some credit.
4. The miracle worker will collect money to perform.
5. The miracle will not have a lasting effect (Healing, etc.)
6. The miracle worker will attach his audience to follow his ministry.
7. People will demand a miracles, to believe that Jesus Christ exist . (A unfaithful and wicked generation).

Bible school: Lesson #1: Catholic Mary without sin. Jewish mother of Jesus offered sin offering

The Pope in Rome claims Mary lived a life without sinning. The Bible says all men have sinned, and that the Mother of Jesus offered a sin offering.

A Roman Catholic image of the Jewish mother of Jesus

You are welcome as a free student. Freely I have received, and freely I will give. The first topic will be:

Who was the Jewish mother of Jesus?

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Paragraph 411:

«The Christian tradition sees in this passage an announcement of the “New Adam” who, because he “became obedient unto death, even death on a cross”, makes amends super abundantly for the disobedience, of Adam. Furthermore many Fathers and Doctors of the Church have seen the woman announced in the Protoevangelium as Mary, the mother of Christ, the “new Eve”. Mary benefited first of all and uniquely from Christ’s victory over sin: she was preserved from all stain of original sin and by a special grace of God committed no sin of any kind during her whole earthly life».

The Bible does not teach us about a sinless Mary. Only God is without sin. The Word of God explains to us that the Jewish Mother of Jesus went to the temple to offer a sin offering:

Luke 2:23-25 (New King James Version)

As it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD”, and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.

Mary, the Mother of Jesus was a Torah observant Jewess. The sacrifice Mary was giving to her Master, was an act of obedience to the Law of Moses, an act found in Leviticus 12:8.

Leviticus 12:8 (New King James Version)

«And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean»

The Jewish Apostles Paul taught us that all of us have sinned, and of course also the mother of Jesus:

Romans 3:23
«for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God».

The Pope of Rome is not telling us the truth about the Jewish Mother of Jesus. The Bible is the truth.

Bible studies # 51: Jesus came to shake families out of their comfort zone.

Catholics says “Families who pray together, stays together”. Jesus the Messiah says the radical opposite.

religion — Sunday Christians are united, and not a challenge to anyone but the gospel.

Many claimed to be “Christians” wants followers of Jesus to do everything they can to avoid families from falling apart. New born Christians are told to submit to family values, and to not create division.

The logic is that families must always stay united, and serve Jesus together in everything.

With such an attitude, you can only be sure that no one in such families will be able to follow Jesus, who has called all of us to leave our comfort zone.

Because every first born Christian in any family, will be persecuted by all the other family members. Only if one is born again, there will be no problems and “unity”. Or all of the family is born again, a situation that is very rare.

Many Pastors do not teach this verse from the Bible, or tell the flock that it means something different than what is written:

Luke 14:26
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

To promote family unity at all cost, is a message that is Roman Catholic and religious by nature. No Roman Catholic must ever question the authority of the Pope, and do anything they can to protect the honor of the Church, and their head of family.

The worst thing that can happen to the Catholic Church, is that anyone is getting saved. Because that person will be lead by the Holy Spirit to say that there is no truth in the message of Catholic priests. That is why Rome stop people from coming into the light of the Gospel. Any Catholic touched by the Spirit of God must be put back into darkness at any cost.

Even among claimed to be Evangelicals, “family unity” is supposed to be of higher value, than the commands found in the gospel.

People who preach and teach “family unity at any cost” do go directly against the message of Jesus the Messiah.

Luke 12:51-52
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.

(end of scripture).

People who wants to obey Jesus, will feel the heat when they challenge religious activities, and lukewarm Sunday Christianity. Many born again Christians who leave their families like the first apostles, will be excommunicated and thrown out.

Jesus have some encouraging words for people who love Him more than their own religious family members.

Mark 10:29-31

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

(end of scripture)

Even in regards to married couples, husband and wife’s can make their own spouse an idol, they love more than Jesus.

Paul has the following message, to cosy married couple that spend their time holding hands in front of the TV:

1. Corintihans 7:29
What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not;.

Times is truly short. Jesus is about to return, and spit a lot of lukewarm people out of his mouth.
