@@DanielBacot-r4l The Catholic interpretation has always been Mary. Since the Catholic interpretation is the only one without error, it is correct. “[15] I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Genesis 3:15)
@@EliyahuShual Catholics do not worship Mary. We venerate her. “[15] I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Genesis 3:15) Our Lady is told she is destined to defeat Satan. This is referenced again when Our Lord refers to Her as “woman” in the wedding at Cana: “[3] And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. [4] And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come. [5] His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye” (John 2:3-5) That verse also reveals her intercessory power before Our Lord as she was the one who had him perform his first public miracle and so she is our greatest advocate in Heaven. Here we see another prophecy for her: “[34] And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; [35] And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed. (Luke 2:34-35) Our Lady’s heart was pierced, her Immaculate Heart, and so through her intercession we grow in our knowledge of our own sins and can fly more easily to God. And finally her excellence is revealed in Apocalypse: “[1] And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. [3] And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems: [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.” (Apocalypse 12:1-5) This shows the struggle between satan and Mary. Again she is referred to as woman.
@knightsofelias But the Bible never commands us to venerate her. Satan probably added that doctrine to trick people into worshipping a Mother Goddess, which replaced the normal polytheistic system.
@@EliyahuShual We don’t have to venerate her so no the Bible doesn’t command it but we can pray to her and the angels and saints for their intercession since they are still alive in heaven. John 11:25 says all who believe, even if he should die, will live so praying to them for their intercession is like asking a friend to intercede for you. “And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints” (Apocalypse 5:8) While it is true that living people can be referred to as saints, and this is done in the Bible, it is common for Catholics to refer only to those in Heaven as saints. So who is being referred to in the passage regarding the golden bowls of incense? In this passage, the saints in Heaven are clearly being referred to because the 24 elders refer to the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles. The golden bowls of incense is a reference to the prayers of us here on earth since they are rising up from earth to Heaven, just like incense.
@@EliyahuShual Yes, it does! Isn't it one of the Ten Commandments to honour your father and your mother? Also, Mary was saved in advance, before ever falling into sin, in the womb, at her conception.
She was born into a fallen world so would need a savior either way! Without God how could she have ever received the graces bestowed on her? And why would we not show respect to the queen mother of the Davidic kingdom? As a living member of the body of Christ we ask her to pray for us, as you would ask any member here on earth, so that we may be more like her son, and also so we can emulate Mary by always saying yes to our God.
Sublime.
Hold though Jesus is the one the bible speaks of when it talks about crushing the head of the serpent

“[15] I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Genesis 3:15)
@knightsofelias every other version says He... Why is this I just it doesn't make since
@ I believe you are very mistaken. It is woman and her in every version I’ve seen, including King James.
@@knightsofelias I want to believe it is her idk why even the KJV I found says his heel and the Catholic says her I don't know what's going on
Why do your worship Mother Mary? In Luke 1:46-47, she admitted that she needed a savior. She was not completely free from sin.
