I’m a Protestant, yet I understand why she is the “Mother of God.” - Mary is the mother of Jesus. -Jesus is God (incarnate) - Therefore, Mary is the mother of God. This issue was dealt with at the Council of Ephesus in AD 431 to refute Nestorius, who taught that Mary was the “Mother of Christ” but not the “Mother of God.” It may seem like semantics, but this has more to do with Christology than Mary. To claim that Jesus was simply the “Christ” would then line up with Jehovah’s Witness theology, which teaches that Jesus was just human, but not God. But to call her the “Mother of God” would clarify the declaration at Nicaea (AD 325), that Jesus was God. People gotta do their homework
Jesus is God who took flesh and in flesh was called Jesus and God dear brother doesn't have a mother, The problem with people is that they don;t think in Biblical therms but apply to it the worldly stuff. When apostles tells him that his mother and his brothers came to see him he replied that his mother and his brothers are those who fulfill the will of God and it clearly proves that God doesn't think in earthly terms and Mary is the mother of the body God lived in but she is no mother of Him because what you are isn't your body but soul. Your body is a vessel or as the scripture says a tent in which you live, nothing more.
God is spirit according to Jesus. Mary is mother of the Man that is Jesus. God is the Father of the Spirit of Christ that is God. Do not be deceived by the shallow minds of false teachers.
@@ArieltheLionofEl Again, if Jesus is God incarnate, (which He is), Mary gave birth to Jesus… then Mary is the mother of God. You might as well say that Jesus was “a good teacher” or a “very righteous man,” and Mary gave birth to a “good teacher/very righteous man.” You’re on thin ice, my friend. You might want to reconsider.
I'm Greek Orthodox and of course we absolutely revere Mother Mary, however Jesus Christ is our ONLY Lord and Savior. We pray to the Father thru Jesus' Holy name. Amen.
I have a step mother who is Catholic and she says all the time, I have to ask father so and so about that. I just think don't you know for yourself ? father so and so want be representing you on Judgment Day. Please pray she will see the light, seems that they haven't had that radical change in their life where you're so far down you have to look up to see the bottom! When you get serious one on one with Jesus and cry out for help, help me Jesus come into my evil heart and change me! when the old man is dead at the cross and the new man resurected in Christ Jesus. What was right is now wrong what was wrong to me was right. Apart from The Lord I can do nothing.
Our Lord Jesus never instructed his Disciples/Apostles to pray to Mary. Never did any of the Apostles instruct believers to pray to Mary in their Epistles. That's all the proof you need.
Exactly!! We read Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus tells his disciples to make disciples of all nations, teaching them all he has commanded them. I often ask Catholics. When has Jesus commanded his disciples to go to Mary for anything?? They’re unable to answer.
This is in context of the subject regarding Catholic Mariology. The man is certainly not Nestorian. After reading the Catholic Churches Mariology I’m disgusted, and I think the last people trying to call anyone anathema or heretic are the Catholics by far. Straight up idolatry and blasphemy. It’s blatant. Imagine if a Mormon called you a heretic, how would you feel? Likely that their claim is irrelevant, now realize that’s how Protestants and pre Protestants view the Catholic Church. I think after 1,200 years of burning and strangling women and children for theological disagreements warrants all of the disdain thrown at the Roman Catholic Church. The only highlight they have is the Crusades, which were mega based. The rest is as Pagan as you could get soaked in Christian terminology.

@@brianrich7828either you are not reading official Catholic teachings on the matter or you are sorely misunderstanding what idolatry is. Most likely, I think you probably have a faulty view of worship and think that honor and praise are things only given to God, when this is not the case. Mary is the humble servant of God, but is the greatest of all created beings and has been blessed by God more than any other living woman. She is Jesus first disciple, who lived her life in his service. She is the greatest exemplar of our faith and is the greatest created enemy of satan, for it was partly of her that God spoke when he said to the serpent “you shall bruise its heel and it shall crush your head.”
Yes that is how Jesus replied to His mother by doing what she asked of Him. MacArthur suggests by rebuking His mother Jesus sins against the fourth commandment. Good luck with that. If you read Poem of the Man God you will see those words were a loving banter between the two of them. If His time had not come why did He go public in performing His FIRST MIRACLE????
Some people don’t realize if you go through Mary to get through Jesus, you’re putting Mary first and God last. We are commanded to put God first ALWAYS. Anything that comes before God is idolatry plain and simple.“I am the Lord, that is My Name; My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved idols.” Isaiah 42:8
With over 100 protestant denominations which use the same Bible and contradict each other, I guess you are an expert on cherry-picking Bible verses. One question: When Thomas told the crucified and risen Jesus "My God" in John 20:28 was Jesus the son of Mary? Yes or not? and another question for another simple yes or no: Do you have to avoid sexual sins so that God does not send you to hell? Yes or no?
Calling Mary “Mother of God” states a truth that must be stated in order to protect an essential truth about Christ. Tell me, how much Christ Centric could I be? Tell me! Btw, "None your business" , REALLY?! If I did this yo my mom , or my grandma they would slap me very hard, FOR GOOD! And God knows how rebellious was my past, because NEVER meant to be rude, just a common use among jews, especially in public, because Jesus never sinned! He didnt break the commandments,i.e. Honor thy mother and thy father, but I bet McArthur just projected himself, and his HATE to the Catholic church. Protestants accuse us of "idolatry" , i.e. , worshiping a made -of - stone statue, when actually most of them, especifically McArthur, have a made -of stone heart...The living God was made flesh, but apparently to some people, he cant feel, he cant love... Why McArthur doesnt mention the miracle at the wedding of Canaa, done by a request from his mother? Ir The prophecy of Simenon in Luke 2:35....es, according to him "she is nothing" , she just gave birth the "I Am" ( John 18:6), she nurtured, raised him, loved him, and accompannied him to the Golgota! She is " nothing "! How sorry this man came to his twilight years with such sorry thinking, From a sorry heart...but I will pray for him, nontheless!
@@danielpitti896 You comment like a most catholics biblical ignorant of the spiritual truth . No where in the scriptures do you see God leaving his throne and coming to earth to sacrifices him self for the sins of the world the sacrifice of animals did not change the mind or the heart , God sent his son to sacrifice him self for our sins and die in our place and by believing our sins are for given and our souls are cleansed . The woman or vessel God used brought forth the son of God Gal. 4 - 4 . that all she was used for . Nothing else . she had other son and daughters to look after . The fact that she told Christ that (they were out of wine ) 4 words . His mother at the wedding did not have any thing to do with him performing a miracle . She didn`t request anything . you catholic fabricate lies about Mary and Peter . Christ saw the chance to reveal him self as the son of God and performed a miracle . it is all about him not his mother . that what he come in the world to do , to show he is deity the son of God , verse 11 ;and his disciples believed on him . that was his mission here on earth . John MacArthur is preaching and teaching the word of God , and it is like I said Mary completed her mission here on earth she brought forth the son of God that takes away the sins of the world . that all that was required of her . and to take care of other sons and daughters , She has nothing to do with saved believers relationship with Christ or with us believers worshiping God , in fact she is never mention in the letters to the Churches with the exception of Gal. 4 : 4 , where she was a vessel that brought the son of God into the world , and in Luke 1 : 27 -38. is used by catholic to fabricate stories about her , being something that God never intended for her to be , that you say the rosary comes from and she should be venerated .In Matt . 1: 18- 25 the angel mentioned her name but one time . that is because the important thing is Christ . The last time she is mention is in Acts 1 :14 John MacArthur `s thinking is from the word of God , with out any mariology garbage . God`s word is truth . so you can say the woman is the mother of God but , there never was a time when God was not . He created the world and every thing in the world that includes the woman that brought Christ into the world . The woman did not give birth to God the father who is a spirit but to his son of flesh and blood . even though they are one Christ the 2nd of the trinity became flesh and blood to do a way with sinful flesh , and his blood cleanse us from all sins , where does it say God died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world , it was his son who become flesh and blood to do away with sinful of the flesh
@@anonimo-um2ng Jesus was the son of Mary. However she was just his earthly mother. She does NOT have any special privileges over everyone else. Just because she gave birth to him. No where in the Bible does Jesus ever talk about Mary to his disciples . Eight times Jesus used the phrase “l and” NOT once did he ever say “she is”. In fact at the wedding of Cana Jesus had to give her a gentle rebuke. When she said there was no more wine.John 2:1 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.
Referring to Mary was "woman" was not a statement of dividing his relationship from his mother, it's far more significant than that. Referring to Mary as "woman" is drawing the parallel between her and Eve. What Eve failed to do, Mary accomplished through the grace of God. Mary is the mother of God. If Christ is God incarnate, and Mary carried, gestated, and gave birth to him, then it is proper to acknowledge her as the Mother of God.
Considering how much Calvinist/Reformed types like MacArthur cite St. Augustine of Hippo in their theology, it’s odd they reject Augustine’s veneration of Mary as “God-bearer”, “Mother of God”, or Theotokos. Anyways, Jesus still filled her request and turned the water into wine.
Paul quotes from the poets of Athenians the things that are in line with the gospel. That doesn't mean he should agree with all their writings. I don't know why Catholics don't get it. Keep Mar's name out of your prayers and keep her image out of your churches.
@@gknight4719 you people are insane. How do you take anything from that other than me replying to what Richard says is factual. Are you disagreeing that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the father but by him? Because that's 100% biblical and spoken by Jesus. Or are you talking to hear yourself speak? Either way you come off as utterly ridiculous with your response.
@@beasthunt And the reason you think I am insane is? one, atheists do not go to hell? or do they go to hell, but not tortured? two, I am insane because I do not believe in Jesus,(i do believe that a man called Jesus existed) but as for his imaginary sky daddy, NO! So this makes me insane, utterly ridiculous. if you were born in Australia 3,000 years ago I bet you would have believed in the snake spirit/god that the aborigines did. We, humans, have made up over 10,000 gods and you don't believe in any of those except FOR your imaginary one, in the bible. do you believe in taking snakes or donkeys? if so, and"I am insane"??
I have received so much hate mail from purported followers of Pastor John for my love of the Virgin Mary and reverence to Jesus for respecting his earthly mother. I kindly ask that you pray for me in my journey to heaven and I know your prayers, along with Blessed Mary, that I shall no doubt make eternal life. Likewise, I pray for all my friends here in Christ. Come Holy Spirit to all!
you need to get RID of the IDOLIZING of mary mentality. shes DEAD!! shes a mere mortal!! thats ALL!! or you will find yourself in the tribulation, and miss the rapture bc of your idolizing a dead woman.
Yes BUT SHE didn't stay a virgin and that is Roman Catholic made up lies to say she did and that she didn't have more children. None of what they say is biblically proven. All fabricated and ASSUMPTIONS. Another DOCTRINE and another Mary and Jesus. CULT
No one should be getting any hate for their beliefs. I hope you find the path to follow Jesus and Him alone. Mary was chosen for a purpose, she is not sinless, she should not be idolized or prayed to.
Pray the Rosary. Jesus wants you to have recourse to His mother and love her. How saddened He is when people do not love her. Did anyone suffer more than her when Jesus was crucified. Love the Blessed virgin Mary with all your heart and you will love God more than those who do not honour His Mother. Do people think Jesus would be so cruel as to say Mother you are worthless. How would those who dishonoured her feel if people disrespected their mothers. We need to pray for these people 🙏
I am Catholic and I am appalled at this. First of all, what is your motive, John MacArthur? To tear down another Church and its beliefs - to get people to go to you? or to Jesus? Where is the Christian attitude of - we all love Jesus - and maybe there are different paths to get to Him and even Jesus says that - in my Father’s house are many mansions………etc. I don’t go around criticizing my non-Catholic brothers and sisters - for not having the same love for Mary that I do - I LOVE them and try to build bridges so that we can worship together in harmony. I will NEVER understand the need to tear down another religion that is clearly of God to make ourselves look smart or the best or the most learned. Your misunderstanding and different interpretation of Scripture - is being handled very poorly here and in a non-Christian manner. Another name for Satan is “Diablos” - the divider. Please don’t give in to him. Let’s stand on the common ground of the Bible and of the Glorious Word of God and of His Saving Passion - He died for ALL of us! God bless you and peace be with you. “He has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” - ”Let us love one another for love is of God”
First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video. Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement. The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive. John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will. Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy. Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son). John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment. All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...
I have always taken John 19:26-27 as basically telling his disciple to look after his mother as if she was his own mother. He was giving the responsibility for taking care of her to him. I've never taken it to mean he dismissed her.
Mary will be on her knees just like the rest of us. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. Philippians 2:10
In an age wrought with gender confusion, it is a treasure of all Christians to have in St.Mary , mother of Jesus, a cherished role model for today’s woman. She is the perfect model for girls and women to fashion their lives after, as they encounter forces that would subject them to disrespect, discrimination, and exploitation. Let’s seize the chance to uphold her, rather than disparage her, Pastor John.
@@alexjoneschannel Sorry to say this but that is a real dumb answer. I would expect someone who states what you have stated to be able to prove it with a list of scripture not just tell people to read 743000 words of the bible .
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 Yes, I am able too prove it with a list of scriptures. I have chosen not to spend my time copy pasting them. If he cares he can read the Bible himself. Not sure why I'm expected to read it for him
@@alexjoneschannel So once again you state something without proof as if it is true? You have a list in context that proves Mary to be a role model but fail to list even one example?
The honoring of Mary as the Mother of God can be traced back to the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. So not only the early Christians but to this very day the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Ethiopian, Armenian, Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran churches all believe that Mary was the mother of God.
Mary, herself needed salvation. Jesus said, “ Before Abraham was, I AM. Mary is earthly, human, and has a beginning. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity has no beginning because he is God. ( second person of the Trinity) Jesus has existed with God from eternities past. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, except Mary. No! All have sinned period! All men/women need Salvation including Mary. Mary needed Salvation like all humanity needs Salvation. To pray to Mary is blasphemy. We can boldly approach the throne of grace. Praying to Mary is not biblical but a tradition of the Catholic fathers. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their traditions. Jesus would rebuke catholic traditions.
I am Orthodox, not Catholic, and as such would agree with Pastor MacArthur on several points against Roman Catholic teaching on and devotion to Mary. But, there are so many inaccuracies here. Pastor MacArthur has a great rhetorical gift, but he shows that he doesn't understand a few things. "Woman" he makes into "M'am", but it's more equivalent to "Dear Lady". Christ's use of the term at the cross supposedly means that Jesus is saying "I don't have anything to do with you anymore"? That's simply crazy talk. Any reader can clearly see that our Lord, in the moment of his own trial, is looking after his mother to ensure her well-being in the world. And by the way, this giving of Mary to the apostle John is a strong evidence that Jesus's so-called "brothers" in the New Testament were his half-brothers, those children of Joseph from his first wife. Otherwise, Mary would not have needed to have been taken care of by someone other than one of her own sons. The phrase "what does this have to do with you and me" is not speaking about a division between our Lord and his mother, but rather is showing a unity between them (you and me, together). How MacArthur gets from point A to point Z is a truly circuitous route. The clearest way is from point A to point B, but he's seems to want so badly to prove something that he ignores the obvious. MacArthur is way too eager here, and in many other points in the video, to dismiss Mary. I'd like to do a full review, but the ending of the passage will suffice. Christ *honors* his mother's request. Let that sink in. All this talk about how Jesus is dismissing Mary, doesn't want to have anything to do with her, separates himself from her, puts her in her place and so forth, all this talk misses the end of the account. This huge point is totally lost with MacArthur. Christ *honored* her request.
Mary would not have needed to have been taken care of by someone other than one of her own sons. You will find in scripture that the brothers and sisters of Jesus are listed and that they were not believers in Christ before the resurrection so Jesus is providing for His mother which is the correct thing to do in honoring His parents.
Does this guy really believe that the author of the 10 Commandments Himself was so disobedient to the 4th Commandment? Think man think. The word woman was used to refer to the "woman" of Genesis for she was the new Eve. Just as Eve was mother of all flesh, Mary is the mother of all redeemed by the second Adam. Woman at Cana is symbolic just as running out of wine in a wine country. Think and stop damning your soul. Cana was a wedding event, and He didn't deny her anything because He turns around and performs His very first miracle at her request. This generation reads the Bible yet denies the very teaching contained in it.
I was just at a catholic church for a service bc my cousin was having his infant baptized. During the service they stated that they were going to ask Mary and like 7 saints to "hear our prayer" this is where it gets blasphemous. The saints don't answer prayers nor are they intercessors. We need to realize this. Stop with the idols statues rituals ect. The relationship is what Jesus is and seeks from us.
@@markadams696 ACTUALLY IF YOU READ IT. IT SAYS HEAR OUR PRAYER. ALSO I STATED CATHOLICS THINK THEY CAN TAKE PRAYERS TO mary or whoever. YOU ONLY PRAY TO JESUS OR THE FATHER. JESUS EXPLICITLY STATES "WHEN YOU PRAY, PRAY TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN" AND ALSO SAYS THAT HE IS THE ONLY ONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF THAT CAN HEAR AND ANSWER PRAYER. I BET YOU ASK A MAN TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS ALSO IN A CONFESSIONAL. IF YOU PRAY TO SAINTS YOU DISRESPECT AND BLASHPHEME JESUS. THEY CANT HEAR YOU. MY NEIGHBOR AND FAMILY PRAY TO JESUS FOR ME. AND THEIR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED. NOBODY EVER HAD PRAYERS ANSWERED BY MARY. OR ANY SAINTS. MARK YOU NEED TO REPENT TODAY I CARE FOR YOUR SOUL. YOU SEEM VERY CONFUSED AND INSPIRED BY DEMONS
The hail Mary says pray for us sinners just as you would ask your neighbor to pray for you if you really believe when people die they cannot hear you and they are dead that is your problem
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Mary was his mother. Can’t change the fact that she loved him as a mother would love her human child BUT God the one who loved us comforted her and dealt with her human feelings and transformed it from human to spiritual
Yes there is a real Mary born into sin just as we were, but The Virgin Mary does not exist she's the creation of the Vatican the real Mary had six more children after Christ seems she couldn't get enough so there is no Virgin Mary that ended after Christ was born but the Vatican has two things going Mary being a virgin never haven't given birth to Christ still pregnant secondly crisis still on the cross the crucifixion never ended think about it all the so-called miraculous miracles have taken place in the Vatican communion Wafers bleeding blood nowhere in the Old Testament or new does it say God had any inanimate object bleed blood he had blood sacrifices before Calvary took place for sin if you have a picture or something depicting Christ and it starts bleeding burn it that's not of God, is for the Virgin Mary she does not exist the moment when the Vatican occultist call the pope Holy Father they are giving him God's title of Holy Father and in Isaiah 42:8 it's blasphemy God says he will not share his throne with any man or Graven image where the priest claims the power to forgive sin he is denying Calvary took place John 10:35 and those believing that priest walk in condemnation, the Bible says to trust no man when it comes to your salvation you are to pick up the Bible and read it for yourself test the scriptures that you hear are they being twisted are they being replaced by personal theology there are many wolves in Shepherd's clothing making merchandise of people and every one of these wolves is a predator each one has a different agenda but it all circles around to money how much is in their bank account and what words will it take for me to get it that's the philosophy of these wolves, Beware of the Wolves or they how louder than anyone else
we're in the Bible. does it say anything about Mary Mary stop being jesus's mother when Jesus was 12 years old and he distanced himself from his mother that was over. she is not deity and she is not in charge of his father's business and Jesus told her that in so many words he said I have to go about my father's business politely telling her that she is not in that role and not up at all in any relationship with the father in heaven
@@ggturner13 real Mary was there alone I'm true she was not a part of his ministry, you have to remember occults like the Vatican have created a Virgin Mary the nuns are a Vatican creation there's nothing holy about a nun, nothing holy about a pedophile calling himself the Pope or God on Earth, when a priest tells you your sins are forgiven he is denying Calvary took place and when you call the Pope Holy Father it's a blasphemy! in Isaiah 42:8 God said I am and I will share my throne with no one or any Graven images, if you have a picture that starts bleeding blood or an idol that starts bleeding blood destroy it it's not of God! nowhere in scriptures does it say God used any inanimate object to put fear in anybody by having it bleed blood it is convenient for the Vatican to have their Idols bleeding blood right down to a piece of bread, because it draws the stupidity of those looking for temporary salvation through a church without having to follow God's Commandments or rules our society has pushed the Old Testament out claiming it's irrelevant yet 99% of God's laws and Commandments are found in the Old Testament and because we don't obey those laws or Commandments there is no fear of God's Wrath in our hearts Jesus said Calvary took place for sin only! it did not change his laws for his Commandments! we are still the following them until his return and because we don't, we will stand before the Judgment thrown guilty of not obeying him, guilty of not following his Commandments, and those not covered by the blood will burn! The people push aside is everything you take a stand for you will face judgment as if you did those things you claim to be right but aren't those who say abortion is good Will face a God who will show them the same compassion that abortion doctor has is he rips each child from the womb None, those to say sodomites are okay will stand with him and suffer the same judgment God will never bless an abomination something he has cursed! Our status in life has no real purpose today the world sees America as Sodom and Gomorrah the country of wickedness no longer country to be respected or feared because our society has put dictators and idiots in office and so the price is going to be paid, in the Book of Revelations we are the head of the fourth Beast but our Wings of Freedom have been burned away and another country is in control of our movements and makes the decisions on what we do freedom is gone in that period of time, and it will either be China or Russia in control of this country at that time!
Jesus is Mary's Savior from her sins Jesus rebuked Mary telling her that he had to go about his father's business and she was not allowed in the deity at 12 years old in the synagogue Jesus distance himself from his mother politely but she is not a God and is a saintly person and that's all she is just like any other center and therefore cannot have any control over salvation are saving anybody. I hope this is clear to everybody. we do not pray to Mary. we can ask Mary or anyone. pray for us. Amen
@@ggturner13 Mary being the mother of The Lord God does not deny and undermine Jesus as Mary's Savior. Jesus never rebuked his mother, that is a protestant hallucination. Mary is the first believer of Jesus not only the Mother of the Lord God (LUKE 1:43) but Mary is acts as a mother and the guardian of the young adolescent Jesus. 2ND Jesus means GOD SAVES or GOD THE SAVIOR in Hebrew, that is why Mary is the mother of GOD THE SAVIOR. He is also called "IMMANUEL" in the Book of Isaiah 7:14 meaning GOD WITH US in Hebrew, this is why Mary is the true mother of God ! God chose to have a mother in the bubble of space and time (earth), God humbled himself to the world, men and angels. PHIL 2:6-8 ; HEB 2:9 PHILIPPIANS 2:6-8 6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. HEBREWS 2:9 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all. Jesus is God ! The Trinity is inseparable. God chose to have a mother read LUKE 1 ! Are you making Elizabeth a liar when she said that Jesus is His Lord in LUKE 1:43 when she met Mary was about to approach her ? LUKE 1:43 [ And whence is this to me, that THE MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? ] The Lord Jesus Christ has a mother and He is God, so the Lord God Jesus Christ has a mother. When the Lord Jesus Christ was born by Mary, He is no longer simply Jesus as God, but rather, He became Jesus as God who became Man (JOHN 1:14) or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh (1 TIMOTHY 3:16). Jesus as God who became Man or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh has to have a mother, for otherwise, how will Jesus as God become Man or manifest in the flesh if He has no mother? And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among WOMEN, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? (LUKE 1:41-43) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (1 CORINTHIANS 12:3-5) Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 ) And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (JOHN 20:28-29) (DEUTERONOMY 10:17) ìFor the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh rewardî LUKE 1:43 REFERS TO THE JESUS WHO IS ìTHEî LORD, MEANING THE GREATEST AND THE HIGHEST OF ALL LORDS. THE SUPREME AUTHORITY OVER ALL: REVELATION 19:16 ìAnd he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.î 1 TIMOTHY 6:14-15 ìThat thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. REVELATION 17:14 ìThese shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.î PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11 ìThat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The best way to honor the Son is by honoring his Father. To Jesus to the Father. No one comes to the Father but through Jesus. He is the only way to the Father.
@@ExposingFalseDoctrines Yes, I agree. I’m a Protestant, as well. I’m just saying it’d be theologically incorrect to separate Jesus’ humanity from His divinity, and thus say Mary didn’t birth God.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv I do understand what you are saying, but is Jesus going to be God of Mary in heaven or is she going to be mother of God in Heaven? See the question which I am also trying to learn how to phrase correctly?
@@ExposingFalseDoctrines Jesus is obviously the God of Mary, but Mary carried the literal God-incarnate Christ in her womb. To say Mary is the mother of God doesn’t mean she lords over Christ or that she is greater than/created Christ. It simply means she bore the God Jesus Christ in her womb, therefore, His mother.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv Mary mother of Jesus yes, but when trying to discuss this with others, they will hear that Mary is a God along side with the Trinity or even apart of Trinity. Muslims in the beginning have been bashing Roman Catholic Church for this very reason before of how we give Mary a high stool to sit on to where veneration might become worship as if she (Mary) is not a sinner who needs Salvation from Jesus. To figure out exactly what position Mary will hold in heaven is not going to be Mother goddess of heaven. Queen of heaven. She simply was a vessel God used to bare the coming prophesied Messiah. She will hold no higher status? And yet because of these types of discussions, people often get confused on should we or should we not worship at the Fatima shrines of Mary and baby angels.
yes that woman at the well was not mary, jesus never called mary mom or mother because he is God and God have no mother. at the cross jesus said to his follower behold your mother and said to mary "woman behold your son" so he told his follower behold your mother you notice how jesus said your mother and not my mother ? and notice jesus used woman and not mother when talking with mary?
Asking Mary in heaven to pray for you, asking Mary to talk to Jesus for you, asking Mary to come help you or send help is not the same as giving Mary honor. Giving Mary honor is me telling you she was the most blessed woman on earth who ever was. Saying the prayers of our lady as pope john Paul did is not honoring her. It is replacing Jesus with Mary
@@echo88charlie They reject most of what Jesus taught so we should not be surprised that they also reject his mother. The general judgment is going to be very interesting!

@@thomassandoval8025 First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video. Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement. The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive. John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will. Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy. Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son). John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment. All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...
@@seanburlile6616 if Mary is the "woman" from Gen 3:15 then how could Mary be without sin? The woman was decieved and ate the fruit first in violation of Gods commandment. However, this actually makes sense when you consider Mary gave a burnt offering and a sin offering after Jesus' birth. But why would she need to give a sin offering if she was sinless? If you are saying she is the "woman" from Genesis then you are saying she is a sinner. By extension you are saying pope pius IX is wrong, which you cant do without being named anathema to the RCC. You'd be right though because "all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory." No exception there for any man or woman. I dont believe Jesus was violating the commandment to honor your mother when on separate occasions he declared people who believe in Gods Word are his mother and brothers. Or when the woman said blessed is the womb that bore you and Jesus said "rather, blessed are those that hear the word of God and obey." These passages dont seem to support the co-mediatrix dogma of the RCC.
As a Catholic, we are asking for her intercession just like we would ask someone to pray for us. MacArthur is disrespecting the Mother of God in this video. You can tell by his flipped way he talks about her….shame on him. I’m sure MacArthur is a man of God, but he is wrong on this issue.
@@christinemccloskey7429we always do have a personal relationship with Him our God, also to our brother and sister in heaven or in life, of course with our heavenly mother too. What is wrong about that ? If you are only have a relationship with God but not with your brother, sister, I think you have a problem.
@@christinemccloskey7429 you are right if we are talking about worshiping. But we are not, We are talking about “relationship”. did not 5th commandment says we have to honor our parent? Or Did not Lord Jesus command us to love God bus also love one another? I think you got that part mix up. Peace with you brother/sister.
Mary was a humble servant of God, a wonderful model to us BUT she was a sinner just like everyone. She knew she needed a Savior and would be horrified if she knew how the RC church was using her. Here’s her testimony. The Magnificat - And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. Luke 1:46-55.
Prayers to the saints is biblical Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of “golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” But if the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers. the saints would be aware of our prayers even when they are not directed to them! The intercession of fellow Christians-which is what the saints in heaven are-also clearly does not interfere with Christ’s unique mediatorship because in the four verses immediately preceding 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul says that Christians should intercede: “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and pleasing to God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:1-4). Clearly, then, intercessory prayers offered by Christians on behalf of others is something “good and pleasing to God,” not something infringing on Christ’s role as mediator. God answers in particular the prayers of the righteous. James declares: “The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. Elijah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit” (Jas. 5:16-18). Yet those Christians in heaven are more righteous, since they have been made perfect to stand in God’s presence (Heb. 12:22-23), than anyone on earth, meaning their prayers would be even more efficacious. Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In the book of Revelation, we read: “[An] angel came and stood at the altar [in heaven] with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God” (Rev. 8:3-4). And those in heaven who offer to God our prayers aren’t just angels, but humans as well. John sees that “the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8). The simple fact is, as this passage shows: The saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.
There’s no need to try to justify this with evidence from The Bible. The Church was given authority by Christ to make divine law. “Whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.” This is a power that Christs Church has and no Protestant church can claim it.
Jesus calls Mary woman because she is the new eve, who was also called woman exclusively until her name was changed after the fall. Interesting how Adam and the woman are the first married couple before the fall. The new Adam and the new woman are at a wedding where only they are named (not the bride and the groom). On the cross at the redemption Mary's name is changed by the new Adam, like the original by the old, but instead of Eve (mother of all of the living) she is called mother. The new mother of all the living in Christ. JMac showing a sincere lack of understanding, perhaps he should submit to the church fathers. To study this look into (new adam, new eve, the book of genesis mirrored in the gospel of John. In fact all of Catholic typology will change your life).
The blind and proud man leadeth many to perdition, and them having itchy ears praises him as he holds himself above the Word of GOD and blasphemes the LORD'S annoited ones. He just labelled Jesus Himself a sinner for he that breaks one of the 10 Commandments (the 4th in this case) breaks them all.
What makes you think Jesus was rebuking her? Who’s to say John wasn’t using the word woman to make a comparison between Mary and Eve? Also, you do realize Catholics don’t have a problem with praying to Jesus right? Also, we technically don’t pray to Mary or the saints, we ask them to pray for us, just like you would ask a friend to pray for you. Are we not supposed to do that, either? Also, to say that Mary is not the mother of God is to fall into Nestorianism. People don’t give birth to natures.
So you do the e-x-a-c-t same activities of idolatry and change the name and is fine? Lmao. WHERE in the Bible does ANYONE talk to the dead? Ishtar Worshippers are really something else.
MacArthur is misinterpreting scripture here. Jesus would never rebuke his Mother because that would put him in violation of his Father's commandment of not Honoring His Father and Mother. Jesus was perfect and sin free by His nature and could never break His Father's commandments. Great comment. God Bless.
@@wildman4126Too bad the historical context of certain idioms, phrases, and sayings of that time period and that culture. (Exegesis). He is correct here. And no, it has nothing to do with honoring or not honoring His mother and Father. He did the same kind of distancing later on when the disciples told Jesus that His mother wanted Him while he was teaching the people. He replied “Who is my mother?”. The Bible is only hard to understand or remember for those who don’t study it often. John and the rest of the Baptists are very much known for pouring themselves into scriptures by other Protestants. That’s actually what they’re mainly known for. And their preachers are known for their expository style of preaching, and I find them fascinating and to be incredibly knowledgeable on the scripture, which makes sense, since that is literally all they focus on unlike other groups out there. The man has literally spent over 50 years preaching every single verse of the Bible, and provides the footnotes and resources in all of his works. Something that should be a common practice but sadly is rare these days. There is a reason the lineage he comes from were called kill joys (the Puritans) because they were essentially walking biblical dictionaries.

@@ivanniyeha4229 --- No, Mary the mother of Jesus has nothing to do with Revelation 12. Revelation 12 represents the true church because if your read a few verses later about this same women in Revelation 12:6 "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." No church ever mentions Mary fleeing into the wilderness. This it the true church fleeing to the wilderness to escape the Roman Catholic church persecution for 1260 years from 538AD to 1798AD. As it is written would happen. Roman Catholic church is the unfaithful women who betrayed God represented in Revelation 17. If you read Revelation 17 you can see the connections with RCC. If you know your bible prophecy it is very obvious.
@@virtualzhbl what does the ark of covenant signifies ???, And mind you in revelation things can have more than one meaning I wonder why you should ignore that .
I recall from scripture that the Pastor and the Devil hold a similar disdain for Mary. Could it be the Devil hated Mary because she brought our Savior into the world defeating death ? What’s the Pastor’s reason?
You're absolutely right that that is why Satan hates Mary. But this pastor does not hate Mary. He is simply explaining that Jesus saves, not anyone else. Because only Jesus lived a sinless life, and therefore only Jesus could take our penalty upon Himself at the cross. He alone is worthy of our worship "You shall have no other gods besides me" (Ex 20:3).
It's strange that you get that perception when he's citing all the scriptures behind it. There are plenty more that the Catholic Church uses to support un-biblical practices such as a rich man that went to hell crying up to Abraham and being denied to support praying to people other than the one God.
(John 2:1-11) In this passage Jesus is calling Mary ”women” which is a refrence to Eve being called ”women” in gen 2:22. Another hint of her not actually rebuking Mary is that he did listen to his mother. She told him about the problem, Jesus listened to her, and he fixed it. When Jesus was on the cross giving Mary to the apostle John, he is literally giving her as a mother to the faithfull. We also cannot insist that Jesus calling Mary ”women” was disrespectfull. For us hearing that sort of language used would be rude, in that time period it had most definitely not the same meaning to it. You could also say that Jesus answering ”What have i to do with thee?” Is a sort of plea to her, saying something like ”Why now Mary?”. Reafirming that because of his and her relationship, he wants to fulfill her request but his time was not meant come yet. Actually him just saying that ”My time has not yet come” and then STILL following her request, means that SHE actually pushed Jesus to reveal himself earlier than expected.
Saying if a person doesn't know Jesus, they won't get to heaven is ludicrous, because the prophets of the old testament never knew Jesus, but they prayed and served God.
Dear @@brucewmclaughlin9072, I will preface my comment by saying that I am no great intellect, philosopher or theologian.

Acts 17:44 is an example to us to do, not just listen to what someone in authority tells you . Thanks for the video .
John, love you brother. Please stop maligning Our Lady as you do. I left Protestantism this year for the church Jesus founded partly because of the judgmental attitudes of many of its proponents. Hopefully, someday you will too.
Let me tell you the story about the wedding at Cana. The bride and groom ran out of wine Mary asked Jesus to help them Jesus said, woman, it’s not yet my time. (He didn’t want his secret out yet) Mary said to the servants “do whatever he (Jesus ) tells you to do” Jesus had the servants fill the empty container era w water and then he turned that water to wine. Mary asked him to help and he did it. There was no rebuking Mary from Jesus. There was no, woman, we’re done here. Our relationship is over THAT WAS HIS MOTHER! Do you honestly think God would disobey the 4th commandment and disrespect his mother AS HE WAS DYING ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS!? This video is nothing but hate propaganda
THAT WAS HIS MOTHER! Do you honestly think God would disobey the 4th commandment and disrespect his mother AS HE WAS DYING ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS!? This video is nothing but hate propaganda maybe you should watch that section of the video again and question what you were taught. This is NOT hate propaganda. On the cross Jesus honored His mother by providing someone to take care of her as when you read the Gospels Jesus tells you that home life was not as warm and friendly as we would like to believe and the brothers and sisters of Jesus had abandoned Him and His mother . Jesus was doing what the 4th and eleventh commandment states. Yup Eleventh you can find it in scripture. John 13:34?

Or maybe Jesus being God had the ability to see a time when an organization (RCC) would take Mary's role totally out of context and give her titles that aren't true. So he had to show who Mary was, she was blessed to carry the Lord Jesus Christ in her womb
@@toddgallo1759 Mary asked Jesus to intercede w the problem of the wine running out and he did it. Period. Just talking about this story, that’s how it began and ended.
The bible passage Matthew 12:46-50 settles the issue of mother Mary having any "sacred" standing with Jesus. There are many other scriptural citations confirming it. Thank you for this posting Dr. MacArthur. God bless you & your family.
Mary son Jesus Christ. Notice capitalization? Mary never stated she was the mother of God. She was the mother of Jesus, the human part, aka fully human. Yes, Jesus is fully God, but Mary is not the mother of God, the Divine part.
My question is, would rebuking His mother and saying "none of your business" be dishonoring her, therefore a sin? If so, there is a real problem with Macs take on this because it would mean Jesus was not the perfect sacrifice.
It's quite interesting how MacArthur is just making up things and inserting his own opinion. Notice that even though it wasn't "his time" yet....he made it "his time" because of his mother's request. He did not dismiss this idea. He was obedient to her request....even though it wasn't his time yet. So much for not being obedient to his mother. Protestants try so very hard to make this something that it is not.
I used to listen to John MacArthur a lot. What he said made so much sense. I decided one day to start studying the early church and shocked to find that Calvinism and Protestantism as a whole was pretty much entirely absent. I became Catholic in 2020 thanks be to God.
Congratulations, me too. His lies are what got me to the Catholic Church. Every single time he talks about Catholics he says to go to the early Christian. Out of curiosity i wanted to see how the early Christian’s worshipped before Pagan Rome destroyed Christianity. The first person I found was Saint Ignatius of Antioch. My jaw dropped See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the Flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 6 I was pretty much sold from that point on. I converted last year November 2024. Of course Catholics and Protestants have differ interpretations of scripture, but I just don’t see how people can follow a liar. Like this man.
@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm I agree my friend, I was stunned when I read Ignatius as well. Then you get to St. Augustine and his beliefs about the church are so Catholic...its a trip
Good for you!… MaCarther is a heretic! His claim that Catholics belief Mary gave birth to God is proof he is truly distorted in his teaching! Jesus existed with The Father in eternity!. Mary gave birth to his human nature, not His divine nature… MacCarther must be challenged or he’ll continue to distort these truths!
Matthew 6:7 - 8 (NLT) “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!" verse 7 "....as the Gentiles do..." The New Living Translation translates "gentiles" - whereas J.B.Phillips (and others) translates it "pagans" - and others translate it "heathens". How much more plainly could Jesus have said it? DO NOT PRAY TO MARY over and over and over (the rosary??!!!!)
@@ggturner13 It is a VERY good practice to have a few different translations (and transliterations) available - ESPECIALLY when dealing with cultic practice of TWISTING Scripture - or taking an obscure scripture OUT OF CONTEXT and creating a dogma or doctrine around that obscure or easily misunderstood scripture... i.e... "...you are a rock (pebble) and upon this rock I will build my church..." Yes, the word translates to PEBBLE - and EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE, the usage of the word ROCK refers to JESUS, not an apostle!!!

What a cold, dark portrait John MacArthur paints of the relationship between Jesus and his mother. Is that the kind of attitude MacArthur has with his own mother? I’m sure it’s not. So how much more love did Jesus have for His own mother, who did God’s will? The woman who bore the Son of God? “Blessed art thou among women” are the words of the archangel Gabriel. Is MacArthur smarter than an archangel who stands before God? The woman was chosen by God! She was blessed among women, as the angel said, and Christ honored His mother with a holy love and reverence and care. Mary was not forcing her will on Christ. What a ridiculous perspective, and a bizarre interpretation by MacArthur, interjecting his own mean nature into it. Really John MacArthur? Are you gonna put words in the Lord’s mouth? “None of your business”? Where did Jesus say that? He takes the English translation and skews it. “Woman, what am I to do with you, my hour has not come”. In other words, the official beginning of His ministry to perform such wonders and miracles had not come yet. What is it you want me to do? He changed the water into wine, as His mother requested, and He did it out of Love! Christ knew this story would be told for the sake of all of us. This is what he was saying to His beloved mother, and not the interpretation that joyless, stone faced John MacArthur reads into it. MacArthur’s hate for Catholics, his obsession with Catholic bashing is off the charts. Catholics do not worship Mary. We have reverence for her, we honor her, and she was given to us when Christ told John the apostle to take her into his care. “Son behold your mother, mother behold your son”. That line became scripture as it was meant for all of us, He was giving His mother to the family church. How many of us would defend the honor of our own mothers??? And know that the Lord will defend the honor of His mother too. Christ and Christ only is our salvation.

I have in laws who are Catholic and I have tried to understand their side of things, but I cannot get past things such as Praying to Mary, Hail Mary prayers, praying for the dead, praying to saints, and the list goes on. We are to rely on scripture for truth, otherwise how can we test all things as we are told to? We are to test it against scripture, and many of the Catholic ideologies are just simply not found in it.
The Catholic church for centuries has buried God's word i.e. the Holy Scriptures under huge mountains of man made doctrines making void the very word of God. This is one of the reasons Jesus sharply rebuked the pharisees and the Sadducees, their duplicity. See Matthew 23.
Where does it say to rely on scripture? Scripture says the church (Catholic) is the pillar and foundation of truth. Jesus created one church not the 30,000 to 40,000 like MacArthur’s who dislike the mother He adored. Jesus ultimately answered His mother at Cana by performing a miracle for her by changing water into wine. A supreme act of love for one’s mother. Come to the one true church to understand Jesus. Forty thousand denominations late to the game. Look in your mirrors.
@@israelperez-sg8er The Catholic Church protected scripture for 1500 years before one Catholic priest Martin Luther took a bunch of believers onto their own road where they argued with each other.

MacArthur shows up what, a few months ago bad mouthing the mother of Jesus telling everyone he knows best. Protestants tell you they go straight to Jesus yet they need MacArthur. Jesus’ mother will lead you to Jesus. She spent 33 years with Jesus. Obviously MacArthur has yet to spend five minutes with Jesus.

@@israelperez-sg8er Las sectas protestantes surgieron para destruir al catolicismo y a la larga llevan al ateismo puesto que son inventos humanos. No hay mas que ver en que situacion estan los paises protestantes y los paises catolicos que dejaron de serlo en la decada de los 60 con la infiltracion de la Iglesia. Lutero era Rosacruz, es decir, pertenecia a una rama de la masoneria. El anglicanismo simplemente surgio por un capricho de un rey depravado, situacion aprovechada por los protestantes de los Paises Bajos para arrancar a Inglaterra del Catolicismo y ya sabemos en que se convirtio Inglaterra tras su apostasia. Deberias saber que Hispanoamerica se hizo catolica por lo tanto cristiana gracias a evangelizadores y misioneros catolicos. Europa fue salvada de terminar en las garras del Islam gracias a las naciones catolicas, situacion que fue disfrutada y aprovechada por las naciones que desgraciadamente cayeron en las garras del protestantismo. Toda Europa se hizo cristiana por los evangelizadores catolicos. El protestantismo ni tan siquiera existia antes del siglo XVI aunque es verdad que multitud de herejias surgieron ya desde el primer siglo del Cristianismo.
The Holy Spirit does many things in the lives of believers. He is the believers’ Helper (John 14:26). Not Mary He indwells believers and seals them until the day of redemption-this indicates that the Holy Spirit’s presence in the believer is irreversible. He guards and guarantees the salvation of the ones He indwells (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30). Not Mary The Holy Spirit assists believers in prayer (Jude 1:20) and “intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27). Not Mary The Holy Spirit regenerates and renews the believer (Titus 3:5). At the moment of salvation, the Spirit baptizes the believer into the Body of Christ (Romans 6:3). Believers receive the new birth by the power of the Spirit (John 3:5-8). The Spirit comforts believers with fellowship and joy as they go through a hostile world (1 Thessalonians 1:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14). Not Mary The Spirit, in His mighty power, fills believers with “all joy and peace” as they trust the Lord, causing believers to “overflow with hope” (Romans 15:13). Sanctification is another work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. The Spirit sets Himself against the desires of the flesh and leads the believer into righteousness (Galatians 5:16-18). The works of the flesh become less evident, and the fruit of the Spirit becomes more evident (Galatians 5:19-26). Believers are commanded to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18), which means they are to yield themselves to the Spirit’s full control. The Holy Spirit is also a gift-giver. “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them” (1 Corinthians 12:4). The spiritual gifts that believers possess are given by the Holy Spirit as He determines in His wisdom (verse 11). The Holy Spirit also does work among unbelievers. Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to “convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8, ESV). Not Mary The Spirit testifies of Christ (John 15:26), pointing people to the Lord. Not Mary Currently, the Holy Spirit is also restraining sin and combatting “the secret power of lawlessness” in the world. This action keeps the rise of the Antichrist at bay (2 Thessalonians 2:6-10). The Holy Spirit has one other important role, and that is to give believers wisdom by which we can understand God. “These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-11). Since we have been given the amazing gift of God’s Spirit inside ourselves, we can comprehend the thoughts of God, as revealed in the Scripture. The Spirit helps us understand. This is wisdom from God, rather than wisdom from man. No amount of human knowledge can ever replace the Holy Spirit’s teaching (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,and there is ONE mediater between God and men,the Man Jesus Christ...John 14:6...Jesus said to him,I am the way,and the truth,and the life.NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME...Colossians 2:8-10 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ, For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.Prayers to Mary does you no good.
@@pattiliba8188 You: Mary and dead saints worship? Me: No, that is a lie. Do they teach you in your sect that liars got to Hell? You: I don't quite understand your response. Me: Right up to your statement you quoted the New Testament which was written by Catholics and defended by Catholics. You: Prayers to Mary does you no good. Me: Your statement showed that you really don't know what you are arguing against, and that is NOT what the Catholic Church teaches. Sorry for my error in including that along with the rest.
If you don't believe that Mary is the Mother of God, you must not believe that Jesus is God !!! Why do you NOT believe Jesus is who He says He is ????? You are not Christian !!! Mary is the moon, which reflects the Light of the Son. She always points us to Jesus.
Jesus never said he was God. He did say he and the Father are one. That is not the same thing. Whos had did Jesus sit down next to. Who did Jesus say to pray to? What voice was heard after Jesus was baptized? All these and many more point to 2 persons. Mary gave birth to Jesus not God.
Probably because God existed you know since eternity something our minds cannot even comprehend and she was a human that he created? " For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. "
I think you should’ve pointed out that Jesus did in fact grant Mary’s request at the wedding in Cana. I’m not saying that He was subordinate to her I’m just simply pointing out that He did grant her request.
He did it because He (among other things) came as a SERVANT to be an example (Mark 10 45; Luke 22 24-30), not because He had to OBEY her or grant her anything.
ONLY JESUS is Mediator between God and the human race, since only a being who is both God omnipresent/all knowing and human at the same time can fulfill this role. Neither Mary nor the saints can hear any prayer made towards them or in their names. ONLY in JESUS' name should Christians pray!
@@jackieharris9666 So sorry for you that Jesus teaches that He gave the authority to forgive sins to His apostles in John 20:23 it is clear as water and evangelicals Lutherans practice what Jesus says.
How would you describe the transfiguration? Jesus was talking to dead people? Praying isn’t worshipping! Saints live forever! They aren’t dead, they have eternal life just like John describes in John 3:16!
If you believe this, you can never ask any other person to ever pray for you again!!!! Not your brother, friend, etc… You can go straight to Jesus, why do you need their prayers?

According to the early Church Fathers (Christians of the early church), the contents of the Ark of Covenant and the Ark itself carry significant meanings. The manna as the Holy Eucharist, Aaron's rod as Jesus' eternal priestly authority, the tablets of the Law as Christ himself, and the Ark itself as Mary. The Glory of the LORD which filled the tabernacle in Ex 40:34-35, Num 9:18,22 as typology for the overshadow in Luke 1:35. Do research on your own and may peace be with you.
Lets take that even further; The Ark of the Covenant was built by *human* hands from inanimate material, Mary was created by God. The Ark, if found still contains those items. Mary only carried Jesus for 9 months. Notice also that Jesus said he came from his Father in heaven not from Mary. May peace also be with you.
Calling Mary ‘ woman’ instead of ‘mother’ does not indicate a pulling away from her influence. Otherwise why don’t all men do this when they reach maturity? It is a massive stretch of the text. MacArthur is reading in what he wants to see there. He is making stuff up. Also thumbnail is Mother of God. MacArthur doesn’t even mention this despite it being an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. Without it there is no incarnation. Jesus is divine, because He is God , and human because He has a mother.
When I was a *child* they taught me these anti-Roman Catholic ideas which in their culture is taught though when I became about 18 or 19 I realized Roman Catholicism was true.

@@brucewmclaughlin9072 Catholic Answers-Trent Horn John 13 1:5 (Jesus ordaining apostles)is parallel story of Lev 8:13 (Moses ordaining Aaron and his sons) and John 20:19-23 Jesus to apostles as my father sent me, I send you. Matt 18:18-20 & Matt 16:19 whatever you bind on earth, I bind in heaven and keys of heaven to Peter Jesus had declared that He would build His church on the truth of Peter’s noble confession, He went on to say, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” ( Matthew 16:19 ). Later, addressing all the disciples, our Lord repeated the words, “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” ( Matthew 18:18 ). Jesus gave Peter “the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” not the keys to heaven.1 A key was a badge of authority ( Luke 11:52 ), and then as now was used to open doors. Peter used the keys Christ gave him to open the door to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost ( Acts 2 ), to the Samaritans after the preaching of Philip ( Acts 8:14-17 ), and to the Gentiles after the Lord had sent him a vision and an appeal from Cornelius ( Acts 10 ). The concept of “binding and loosing” found in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18 was commonly used among the Jewish people in relation to the authority of the rabbis to forbid and permit certain practices. Jesus gave Peter and the apostles authority over both the doctrine and practices of the first-century church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, they would be given wisdom to know what to forbid and what to permit. This authority, not on exactly the same level as during the apostolic era, still resides in the leaders of the local church. They may not receive the same kind of supernatural guidance as the apostles did,but they possess the entire New Testament along with the direction of the Holy Spirit. 2 Therefore, when church leaders discipline a church member who promotes incorrect doctrine or is involved in evil behavior, they act with divine approval. They are carrying out God’s will, and what they do is ratified in heaven. Since their authority is not ultimately derived from their personal qualities or their office but from Scripture and the instruction of the Holy Spirit, they should exercise it humbly and prayerfully. Giving keys ancient Jewish tradition of kings leaving their power to someone in their absence. Isaiah 22:22 in Other Translations 22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 22 I will give him the key to the house of David-the highest position in the royal court. Matthew 16:17-20 is the only time that the Bible mentions keys to the kingdom. First, Jesus asked his disciples, “Whom do men say that I am?” They responded that some say he is John the Baptist. Some say he is Elias, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. Then, Jesus asked, “But whom say ye that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” From the Bible, we can tell that Jesus was pleased with Simon Peter’s answer, just as a teacher would be pleased with a student’s correct response to a question. Jesus told him: “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee; That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shalt be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:17-19). Roman Catholicism teaches that Jesus established a hierarchy in the church by handing Saint Peter the keys to the kingdom. The keys symbolize papal authority and appear on the papal coat of arms. According to Catholicism, Jesus committed the power of binding and loosing to Peter. The power of the keys symbolizes authority to govern the house of God. Power to bind and loose means authority to forgive sin, pronounce doctrinal judgments, and take disciplinary action in the church.

Mike, I see your many replies. This pastor, and most non-Catholics, are not disputing the incredible beauty and faith and role of Mary, the mother of the Christ. He is noting that Mary was never called out by Jesus or the Pauline writings or other as someone who is required to intercede or who should be engaged. “I am the Father are one”. “Ask for anything in my name and it will be given to you”. “I will send the Counselor to you, and he will explain everything to you.” If we have a restored intimacy with God, where is the requirement for Mary? My personal observation is that this Mary interposition is a New Testament way to restore the old “temple curtain” of separation from a holy God.
Mary hears no one's prayers any more than our loved ones. The Holy Spirit takes our prayers to Jesus who intercedes for us as He requests to the Father. Mary would throw ashes on her head if she saw the veneration going on.
Thank you for your thought However they are nonsensical regarding Mary’s intercession. Certainly you would agree that intercessory prayer does not serve as a roundabout way of getting around Christ?

Praying to Mary & the Saints is unbiblical! There's a difference between asking family or friends to pray for you, (which by the way doesn't mean that those people you've asked to pray have more power or authority than you, but that if more people join in the same prayer, more petitions are heard at the throne of God) and there's a difference with speaking to dead people! Jesus is both Mediator & Intercessor. If Jesus is sufficient for both those roles then why do we need to pray to Mary or one of the saints, who by the way, are dead and departed? Yes, they are alive in heaven, however, there is no scriptural basis for praying to them, rather the opposite is true! By praying To them, we are taking the attributes of God and placing them on mere humans! Only God is Omnipresent(everywhere at once), Omniscient(knowing everything at all times), Omnipotent(all powerful) & Omnibenevolent(supremely Holy & Good). If the word of God tells us to come to Him directly, then why do we need to pray to anyone else??? Take a look at the following scriptural references: Romans 8:34 [34]Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes INTERCESSION for us. Hebrews 4:14-16 [14]Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. [15]For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16]Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 7:23-27 [23]Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. [24]But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. [25]Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. [26]For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; [27]who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 1 Timothy 2:5 [5]For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, Acts 4:12 [12]Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Jeremiah 29:12-13 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Philippians 4:6-7 [6]Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7]and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Romans 8:26-27 [26]Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27]Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Matthew 6:6,9-15 [6]But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. [9]In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. [10]Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. [11]Give us this day our daily bread. [12]And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. [13]And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. [14]“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. [15]But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 1 John 5:14-15 [14]Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. [15]And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 2 Chronicles 7:14 [14]if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

When I was delivered from Catholic religion , I showed to my sister who was a devout Catholic to tell her Matthew 13:55~56 that Jesus had brothers - James, Jose , Simon , Judas- but she didn’t believe Mary was no longer a virgin . When you have “ a spirit of stupor “ ( Romans 11:8 ) until God deliver you , you won’t believe . Thank God for mercy of God in my life to see what I see and hear what I hear now .
@@antonypelling9194 Well Matthew 1:24-25 as an argument is very bad. "but knew her not until she had given birth to a son". The whole point is that Jesus is not Joseph´s son that He was born of the Holy Spirit and if Joseph and Mary had sex or not after His birth is irrelevant to what Matthew is saying and more important: the greek word ἕως, heos "until" was used by Jews in a different way for example in 2 Samuel 6:23: " Saul’s daughter Michal was childless ἕως until the day she died". So following your bad argument Michal gave birth after she died or according to Paul in Romans 5:14 "death reigned from Adam to Moses" but after Moses the situation changed and no one died anymore. Yes, the argument you received is pretty bad. And what is more satanic than to reject the clear teaching of Jesus about salvation? Jesus rejects salvation by faith alone over and over again (Matthew 5:29-30; 6:14-15;12:37;16:27 and a very long list).
I explained this to a Catholic relative. Her reply was that Joseph was an old man, a widower with kids, who wasn’t interested in sex anymore so that’s why he was chosen to be Mary’s husband. Joseph’s kids were Jesus’ half brothers. 😞
@@jackieharris9666 That is the orthodox position and there are protestants who accept this view, Richard Bauckham is a very well-known Protestant NT that pointed out the fact that the greek word adelphos can mean half brother for example in Mark 6:18 where Herod Antipas was the half-brother of Herod Philip.
Anyone please from Scripture put another baby in Mary's womb When you can't you need to shut up on this topic. When you don't you ADD to scripture ad will bring plagues against yourselves.
He never said "Full of Grace" He said "You who are highly favored" Asking people to pray brings glory to god, it strengthens the person asking and strengthens the faith or the one being asked, it gets people praying and draws them closer to God. None of this happens with asking Mary. She has her full reward. We on earth do not. Your comment demonstrates a lack of understanding of scriptures. A common fault of Catholics.
@@stever4181 you lack the fullness of truth. Catholics are the original christians and we can trace our church back to Jesus who Founded it. And your church and/or beliefs are literally man made if you trace them back in history , you’re just a protester against Gods Will and Church.

Confession why it's important to confess to a priest John 20:21-23 21). and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.' 22). After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit. 23). If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained. The only way the apostles could either forgive or retain sins is by first hearing those sins confessed, and then making a judgment whether or not the penitent should be absolved. James 5:14-16 14). Any one of you who is ill should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint the sick person with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him. 15). The prayer of faith will save the sick person and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. 16). So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another to be cured; the heartfelt prayer of someone upright works very powerfully. When it comes to one “suffering;” St. James says, “Let him pray.” “Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.” But when it comes to sickness and personal sins, he tells his readers they must go to the “elders”-not just anyone-in order to receive this “anointing” and the forgiveness of sins. St. James had just told us to go to the presbyter in verse 14 for healing and the forgiveness of sins. Then, verse 16 begins with the word therefore-a conjunction that would seem to connect verse 16 back to verses 14 and 15. The context seems to point to the “elder” as the one to whom we confess our sins. 2 Corinthians 2:10 10). But if you forgive anybody, then I too forgive that person; and whatever I have forgiven, if there is anything I have forgiven, I have done it for your sake in Christ's presence, 2 Corinthians 5:18 18). It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Matthew 16:19 19). I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.' Matthew 18:18 18). 'In truth I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
😢😢😢i think the pastor don't read bible he don't know the meaning of Woman in the bible. Woman means:“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman.... - Genesis 2:23. Woman is an expression of Honor!in bible,and he said" jesus said to her this is not you business"❌️❌️😓😓😭😭. No Jesus doesn't say like that. This is the New version bible. The Truth bible don't say not your.... 🙅♂️❌️❌️. Any ways, Saint Vargin Mary is the mother of Christ and our mother we love her because Jesus loves her So much!!!. “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” - Revelation 12:1. if you hate Saint mary, You hate Jesus! But if you accept Saint mary, you accept Jesus. 😓😓the pastor is preaching bad!!
Jesus started Catholic church. I joined. I follow the true teachings of Jesus. Take RCIA to learn what Catholic church really teaches. You might be surprised. I was. God bless you!!!
@@andrewt.2850 There are 40+ Scriptures between the Old and New Testaments that say Jesus is the Rock!! I can list them all for you if you wish, but I will mention a few right now: 1 Samuel 2:2, "There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; *there is no Rock like our God* ." 2 Samuel 22:32, " *And who is the Rock except our God* ?" 2 Samuel 22:47, "The Lord lives! *Praise be to my Rock!* Exalted be God. *The Rock, my Savior!* " Psalm 18:2, " *The Lord is my rock.* My fortress and my deliverer; *my God is my rock,* in whom I take refuge." Psalm 18:31, "For who is God besides the Lord? *And who is the Rock except our God* ?" Psalm 19:14, "...O Lord, *my rock and my Redeemer.* " Psalm 89:26, "...You are my Father, *my God, the Rock my Savior.* " Isaiah 44:8, "...You are my witness. Is there any God besides me? *No, there is no other rock; I know not one.* " Matthew 7:24-25, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mind and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, "For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, *and that rock was Christ.* " Please take careful note the end of 1 Corinthians 10:4, "...and that rock was Christ" According to Holy Scripture then, when Jesus says in Matthew 16:18, 'And I tell you that you are Peter, and on *this rock* I will build my church...", Jesus was referring to himself from Peter's profession in verse 16. Jesus didn't say on your rock Peter, or you are the rock Peter, no, Jesus said, "on this rock". Now look at John 2:19-21, Jesus answered them, "Destroy *this temple,* and I will raise it in three days," The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days? But *this temple* He had spoken of was His body. Note the similarity; "Destroy *this temple* ", "on *this rock* ", according to the Word of God, Jesus is the Rock, not Peter.
@@andrewt.2850 You are correct but it does NOT apply to the Roman Catholic church. That institution (now far removed from original New Testament Christianity anyway) was established more than three hundred years later.
Dear Pastor, Please be careful so as not to lead your congregation to perdition. God bless you and your congregation and remember you will be responsible in the afterlife for leading people down the wrong path. Please search your heart Pastor. And remember who developed the canon of the bible. The bible is actually a Catholic book, and if you accept its authority, then it makes sense that you accept the authority of the Catholic Church. Thank you and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I will continue to pray for Christian unity where the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic (universal) faith. Tom Dahl, Roman Catholic
Hi, let me tell you how the Roman Catholic Church came about. Paul went to Rome preach the gospel. Some got saved down the road a few hundred years down the road they decided to bring in a little bit of Roman paganism mother and child worship. that’s where you guys get worshiping Mary from, a little bit of Judaism that’s where the priesthood comes and a tiny bit of Christianity and there you have the Catholic Church that is a church that Satan has made up. It is a false church.🤷♀️
He's right, how do you think the New Testament was assembled, Do you think if just fell out of the sky after Jesus ascended. There were many books considered. The Canon of scripture was determined by a Catholic council. That is historical fact and it can't be disputed.
He is literally making fun of the wedding at Cana. He’s saying Jesus rebuked Mary. That Jesus told Mary you and I were done. This is the most blasphemous teaching I’ve heard in awhile. He will bust he’ll wide open for leading people astray. Have you read this story he’s talking about They’re at a wedding and they run out of wine. Mary ask Jesus to help them Jesus says woman, it is not yet my time Mary says to the servants go wherever he tells you to do And then Jesus turns the water to wine. He did it. Mary asked and Jesus did it.
First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video. Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement. The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive. John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will. Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy. Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son). John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment. All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...
@@seanburlile6616 right on!!!! This video is our blasphemy. He will burn in hell if he doesn’t repent. Disgusting disgusting misleading of people. Better to have a milestone wrapped around his neck!
@@seanburlile6616 You wrote: "First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video." Ohh really now, let's just see about that. Roman Catholic Church: "so no man GOETH to Christ but BY HIS MOTHER." (Vatican Website: Encyclical of Pope Leo 13th on the Rosary, Octobri Mense, Pope Leo 13th, 1903-1914) Now who really is lying and being deceptive?
@@seanburlile6616 You wrote: "The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary." Ohh really now...isn't that where the Catholic Church finds its doctrines that "Mary intercedes" and "Jesus never refuses His mother"? Let's look at Mary's "intercession" at the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-10) but first then, let's see what Jesus' will was: "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me." John 6:38 "At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. So He replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor." Luke 7:21-22 "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 Gee....Mary's only concern was running out of wine, a consumable beverage people could get drunk on!! Sure looks like Mary wasn't on the same page as Jesus. Now let's look at some real life changing intercessions: - The royal official interceded for his sick son. (John 4:43-54) - The Centurion interceded for his paralyzed/suffering servant. (Matthew 7:5-13) - The men interceded for a paralytic. (Matthew 9:1-8) - A ruler interceded for his dead daughter. (Matthew 9:18-26) - A man interceded for his son who was demon possessed. (Matthew 17:14-19) - Some people interceded for a deaf/mute man. (Mark 7:31-37) - A woman interceded for her demon possessed daughter. (Mark 7:24-30) So sean, next time you are at a wedding and they run out of wine, you be sure and let Mary know....okay! And leave all the real life changing miracles for Jesus. From the Bible, please list all the people Mary brought to Jesus that were sick, lame, dying, demon possessed, deaf/mute, paralyzed or needed saving....take all the time you need....I'll wait.
Mr MacArthurs faith started around the time of the printing press and written word, in quite a compact area of northern Europe. of a But a "loving mother" now THAT is something the population could relate too. Hence Mother Mary and the dogma around her. Jesus is God in human form. The X chromosome was given to Him by Mary, the Y by the Holy Spirit...the "God" portion of His body. Mary gave birth to the X AND Y parts of Jesus. Mary gave birth to God.
John 2:3 never states that the servants ask Mary for anything. Why would they? How would some woman help them? The servants at that point didn't know Jesus was capable of any miracles as He hasn't preformed any miracles prior. Remember Jesus said "mine hour is not yet come." Most likely Mary merely overheard the conversation that there was no wine and was somewhat concerned enough to pass the info to Jesus.
Jesus lived a life committing no sin whatsoever. Surely that is a miracle, even though he hadn’t performed any individual miracles yet. Wouldn’t Mary and others that knew him, think at the very least that was remarkable?
@@mikepuglise6874 When you say "works for me" also means nowhere in history is where we can get the idea that Mary can somehow intercede for us to convince Jesus to answer our prayers. You are sayin it is unbiblical.
@@virtualzhbl You wrote: "If you read the verse Mary didn't ask for anything. But many Catholics miss that point." Yup, and Catholics give more glory to Mary, than Jesus who is the One who performed the miracle!
i have 3 sisters ALL catholic, 2 in their 70's, 1 late 60's, have shared the Gospel with them, even in their catholic versions, they do NOT hear, they will swear up and down Mary never had other children, even when they see it in their own bibles i have talked till blue in the face, can no longer talk scripture , i have planted, just hope someone waters and God reaps, before it's to late for them
@@mikepuglise6874 That explanation isn't supported by what the verses say, so no. And even if he were an only child, that's not evidence to support praying to Mary.
Show me a verse in the Bible actually naming the alleged other children of Mary. You will discover all the verses refer to the “brothers and sisters” of Jesus without saying they are also children of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This man deceives many with his personal interpretation of holy scripture.
Love the Lord thy God with all your heart. The first commandment if you get that wrong pray for repentance and mercy. We dont worship the saints or Mary. They had a purpose to give God Glory . They have the same purpose as anyone today and that is to give God the glory he deserves as the king of kings and Lord of Lord. The potter and his clay.
MacArthur really reads a lot into scripture. The term "woman" is used as a term of respect as it means that she is the woman of Genesis 3:15. It does not mean that He is distancing Himself from His mother for she is His mother for all eternity. We find this throughout Christian history to honor Mary as Jesus honored her.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Of course there is: Luke 1:48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; How often do you refer to her as the Blessed Mother?
@Greg You wrote: "The term "woman" is used as a term of respect as it means that she is the woman of Genesis 3:15." "Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “ *Woman,* why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “ *Woman,* why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her." John 20:11-18 I guess then that would apply also to Mary Magdeline as the "woman of Genesis 3:15....ain't that right Greg!?! And speaking of Genesis 3:15... According to the Catholic Church, Mary "crushes" Satan in Genesis 3:15: "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." (Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible)
Now look at Romans 16:20: " *The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.* The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." (Same Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible and non-Catholic Bibles)
"Since the children have flesh and blood, *He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil* -" Hebrews 2:14
"The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. *The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.* " 1 John 3:8 So according to the Catholic Church who really crushes Satan: God/Jesus or Mary?? Oh....and by the way, there is no mention of Mary, nor is she anywhere to be found in Revelation 20 when Satan is finally cast into the lake of burning sulfur.....just saying! Good luck with that contradiction!
@@GR65330 shes musing to HERSELF in that verse, its NOT an instruction to call her blessed! we are all blessed in one way or another. I would NEVER call her the blessed mother bc shes NOT my mother; and the TEN COMMANDMENTS makes it CLEAR NOT to pray to, worship or adore ANYONE except Jesus or God the Father.
@@Lauren-vd4qe She is proclaiming this in the Magnificant. She is not musing to herself. If you're Christian, then she is your mother by adoption in the same way that through adoption God the Father becomes our Father and through adoption Jesus becomes our brother. It's a family and if you do not want the Blessed Mother as your mother, you won't have Jesus as your brother. Catholics do not worship the blessed mother....
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of John the Apostle lets see what he says? he said this- He who is Devout to the Virgin Mother will certainly never be lost. Disclaimer. I’m not Catholic I’m just saying this is a very early church father saying Mary is someone we should be (devout) to. I guess it can be argued what did he mean by devout?

"devoted" comes from the same root word The writings of Your St Ignatius of Antioch was not considered 'canonical' - even by the catholic's rendition of the Bible...
first he is correct bt saying that we shouldn't pray to mary because jesus said to pray to the father ... but ti say that jesus said to mary " none of you business " is disrespectful ... for the law that jesus fulfill say honor you father and mother ... why do men twist the scriptures ?
Catholics do not pray to Mary, they call her for help to be granted by the Lord. The non-of-your-business is one of the first indications that he is the son of God. Very similar to the finding of the 12 year old Jesus in the temple. There he responded: Did you not know that I have to be in the house of my Father? To honor father and mother is the 4th commandment for mankind only.
@@stephanmariahitzel6102 how can you ask for help if she is dead and no one except for jesus has risen ... the rest of the people who believe in the words that jesus said then believe in god the father of our lord jesus christ will be risen in the last trump ...

This message only works if you ignore a lot of Scripture and the teachings of the early Church as well. John can say it, but it doesn’t change the Word of God.
Another thing about the wine incident….after Mary speaks to Jesus, she tells the servants to go to Jesus themselves and “do what He tells you”. When my dear Catholic aunt once told me that she prays to Mary because God is so busy and “Mary is everything to me”. It broke my heart. I asked her if she believed all the times in the Bible when God said “Come to ME”, do not worship another. Is prayer worship? How does that line up? I also asked her, if you needed a plumber, would you call his mother? It was apparent she had not read the full Bible, and insisted she had to believe the Church too, because of course they wouldn’t lie. And then I had issue with Christ’s statements about repetitive prayer and the heathens, and the rosary with its 10 to one ratio of hail Marys and Our Fathers……

Mary Cooperates in God's Saving Plan - Pope John Paul II At the General Audience of 12 January 2000, the Holy Father reflected on Mary's place in our journey to the Father, who "desired Mary's presence in salvation history".

Her cooperation is founded on Christ's mediation and her sharing in his work takes nothing from him as the unique Mediator. Mary United Herself to Jesus' Offering - Pope John Paul II "With our gaze illumined by the radiance of the Resurrection, we pause to reflect on the Mother's involvement in her Son's redeeming Passion, which was completed by her sharing in his suffering", the Holy Father said at the General Audience of 2 April 1997, as he reflected on Mary's participation in the mystery of Redemption and her presence at the foot of the Cross. Mary's Cooperation Is Totally Unique - Pope John Paul II At the General Audience of 9 April 1997, the Holy Father continued his catechesis on the role of the Blessed Mother, calling attention to her unique "role of co-operator in the Redemption, which she exercised throughout her life and in a special way at the foot of the Cross." To the Disciple He Said, Behold Your Mother - Pope John Paul II "The universal motherhood of Mary, the 'Woman' of the wedding at Cana and of Calvary, recalls Eve, 'mother of all living' (Gn 3:20). However, while the latter helped to bring sin into the world, the new Eve, Mary, co-operates in the saving event of Redemption." So said the Holy Father at the General Audience of 23 April 1997. Bible: Only Jesus alone is our Redeemer. - 1 Corinthians 4:6, "...Do not go beyond what is written." - Galatians 1:8-9, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!" - Proverbs 30:5+6, “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."
Ever consider the fact that The catholics along with the Holy Spirit gave you your Bible? I'll take their interpretation over yours and this heretic of a pastor any day
I'm suprised he doesn't know the Catholic teaching on why Jesus called Mary Woman. He seems to have a good sense of other Catholic teachings but doesn't know this one, it actually might be just as important as the teaching on the wedding at Cannan. In Catholic teaching Mary is the ark of the new covenant and the new Eve. Jesus is addressing her with the same title given to Eve, woman.
Often times unfortunately, protestants have a partial and incomplete understating of catholicism. I have been raised a Catholic, then I have been reading a lot about protestantism, orthodoxy and I am slowly coming back to catholicism.
Pastor John teaches the word of straight forward with no compromise and no apology. These pastors who want everyone to love them and not offend anyone is useless in his pulpit. Start preaching God’s word or go find something else to do. Thank Pastor John for your boldness to preach God’s holy word. Amen 🙏🏾
Protestantism is not straight forward, it says so in the name, protesting the One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Live to argue and never be certain.
@@heather768 If you listened to the message without the preconceived notion that just because some denomination's are filthy with money does not mean all are. What about the pastor who works as a janitor weekdays and pastors a church group on Sunday . Like Paul he pays his own way and unlike the TV people you never hear about him. Even the roman Catholic church likes money and they are second richest church in the world. You are saved by the finished work of Christ on the cross who died for all of your sins . Unlike Tobit 12:8 Prayer with fasting is good. Almsgiving with righteousness is better than wealth with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold, 9 for almsgiving saves from death, and purges all sin. Jesus is who we have faith in not the words of Tobit !
Calling Mary “Mother of God” states a truth that must be stated in order to protect an essential truth about Christ. Tell me, how much Christ Centric could I be? Tell me! Btw, "None your business" , REALLY?! If I did this yo my mom , or my grandma they would slap me very hard, FOR GOOD! And God knows how rebellious was my past, because NEVER meant to be rude, just a common use among jews, especially in public, because Jesus never sinned! He didnt break the commandments,i.e. Honor thy mother and thy father, but I bet McArthur just projected himself, and his HATE to the Catholic church. Protestants accuse us of "idolatry" , i.e. , worshiping a made -of - stone statue, when actually most of them, especifically McArthur, have a made -of stone heart...The living God was made flesh, but apparently to some people, he cant feel, he cant love... Why McArthur doesnt mention the miracle at the wedding of Canaa, done by a request from his mother? Ir The prophecy of Simenon in Luke 2:35....es, according to him "she is nothing" , she just gave birth the "I Am" ( John 18:6), she nurtured, raised him, loved him, and accompannied him to the Golgota! She is " nothing "! How sorry this man came to his twilight years with such sorry thinking, From a sorry heart...but I will pray for him, nontheless!
@@danielpitti896 Now at some point you grew up and you were no longer under your parents control. Jesus grew up and was a man no longer under His parents control. No honor lost . Mary mentions a fact "they have run out of wine " Mary tells Jesus to do a miracle? No she tells the servants "do as He says" The RCC claims Mary as intercessor from this point on! according to him "she is nothing" , she just gave birth the "I Am" ( John 18:6), she nurtured, raised him, loved him, and accompanied him to the Golgotha ! She did not give birth to the" I Am" she gave birth to her son Jesus who did not become God at that point as He always existed. Nice to see you disagreeing with John but make sure that you do not use the word HATE as this is nothing to do with hate for Mary or hate for Catholics this has more to do with pointing out what is wrong that the Catholics do not know about.
This video doesn’t even follow the scripture The Wedding at Cana 2 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.[a] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers[b] and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
You speak of obedience. Where did Mary obstruct him? Why do you hate Mary? Catholics? The Bible was bound together by catholic theologians. Why would they bound such works if it cionflicts with their faith?
Catholics treat Mary as though she is part of the Trinity and praying to Mary is idolatry of the worst kind. She is a very important figure in Christianity but she is not divine, nor is she to act as mediator between God and man.
The logic of your argument is not only logically inconsistent with Biblical truth but heretical, rationally unsound and theologically incoherent. Our Lord Jesus was never at any time done with his mother. He loved her, honoured her even as she remained both his mother and a faithful disciple to the very end. In John 19, Jesus clearly asked the Apostle John to behold his mother, and vice versa, and from that Mother, the two most faithful disciples of our Lord (Mary & John, they were faithful to the very end of our Lord's life and ministry) And Jesus understood hos Blessed Mother's role and accorded her the recognition and honour she rightfully deserves (Remember God filled her with the FULLNESS OF GRACE). She remains the only woman who fulfilled through her obedience what the first Eve couldn't by her disobedience. Your teaching is not only shallow and filled with bile against the Church, it also contradicts God's plan as revealed in the Scriptures. One needs not listen to you for upto a minute to clearly see your inconsistencies, and that unhidden hatred bent on attacking the Catholic Church. Well, Jesus's use of 'woman' to refer to Mary was well in order and clearly identifies Mary with the new Eve, the prophetic woman of Genesis 3 of whom God promised to put enmity between her and the devil. Your attack against the Catholic Church reveals your anger towards and hatred for the Truth.
It's funny that you only look out to the Bible to validate your hatred of the Church. Unfortunately, you won't find any. You only find clear validation of Mary the Mother of God. Read the Scriptures with openness, and you will not be laid astray. Pray for Divine enlightening.
@@Padrecally Since There is no higher authority than God's word it is what we as Christians must look towards. Man's word is useless unless it conforms to God's word. However the CC prefers to pay head to man's word above and before God's word. Mary was never "Full of Grace". She was highly favored. Try reading this in Greek for a change. Mary was also the mother of Jesus who was like God. There is a difference. Lastly, The CC elevates Mary above what God did. Yes, she was a Godly person and we all could learn from he faithfulness. That does not make her sinless, assumed, or have anything to do with salvation as the CC states. All of that is man's opinion, not God's word.
God spoke through men and continues to do so in our times. Your hatred of the Catholic Church doesn't stop her from continuing her mission to evangelize the ends of the earth. No amount of hate can stop the Church. Our Lord Jesus mandated us to go to the ends of the earth with the assurance that he is with the Church till the end of time. So, keep hating, and the Church keeps its Divine mandate.
Yes! Jesus is exalting her by calling her woman He would not commit a sin and disrespect his mother. We can't forget the commandment respect thy father and thy mother
I’m a Protestant, yet I understand why she is the “Mother of God.”
- Mary is the mother of Jesus.
-Jesus is God (incarnate)
- Therefore, Mary is the mother of God.
This issue was dealt with at the Council of Ephesus in AD 431 to refute Nestorius, who taught that Mary was the “Mother of Christ” but not the “Mother of God.”
It may seem like semantics, but this has more to do with Christology than Mary. To claim that Jesus was simply the “Christ” would then line up with Jehovah’s Witness theology, which teaches that Jesus was just human, but not God. But to call her the “Mother of God” would clarify the declaration at Nicaea (AD 325), that Jesus was God.
People gotta do their homework
This. Love Jmac but I feel like he was so busy being against Catholicism that he got this wrong.
Jesus is God who took flesh and in flesh was called Jesus and God dear brother doesn't have a mother, The problem with people is that they don;t think in Biblical therms but apply to it the worldly stuff. When apostles tells him that his mother and his brothers came to see him he replied that his mother and his brothers are those who fulfill the will of God and it clearly proves that God doesn't think in earthly terms and Mary is the mother of the body God lived in but she is no mother of Him because what you are isn't your body but soul. Your body is a vessel or as the scripture says a tent in which you live, nothing more.
God is spirit according to Jesus. Mary is mother of the Man that is Jesus. God is the Father of the Spirit of Christ that is God. Do not be deceived by the shallow minds of false teachers.
@@SaucyDog420 Wait… did you just deny the Trinity? Yeah, I’ll listen to you… 😂
@@ArieltheLionofEl Again, if Jesus is God incarnate, (which He is), Mary gave birth to Jesus… then Mary is the mother of God.

I'm Greek Orthodox and of course we absolutely revere Mother Mary, however Jesus Christ is our ONLY Lord and Savior. We pray to the Father thru Jesus' Holy name. Amen.

You mean the same Bible Catholic gave to the world ?
@@truthteller3288 Doesn't mean they understood it. Look at today's politicians and how they twist the laws. Just as Catholics twist Scripture.
Our Lord Jesus never instructed his Disciples/Apostles to pray to Mary. Never did any of the Apostles instruct believers to pray to Mary in their Epistles. That's all the proof you need.
Exactly!! We read Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus tells his disciples to make disciples of all nations, teaching them all he has commanded them. I often ask Catholics. When has Jesus commanded his disciples to go to Mary for anything?? They’re unable to answer.
John 19:27 I wanna be Jesus' fav disciple.
Christians: Can we have valid theology please?
Macarthur: The best I can do is Nestorianism
no one cares what you call nestorianism💀💀
The Nestorian belief is anathema according to Pope Celestine I. Great comment.
This is in context of the subject regarding Catholic Mariology. The man is certainly not Nestorian. After reading the Catholic Churches Mariology I’m disgusted, and I think the last people trying to call anyone anathema or heretic are the Catholics by far. Straight up idolatry and blasphemy. It’s blatant. Imagine if a Mormon called you a heretic, how would you feel? Likely that their claim is irrelevant, now realize that’s how Protestants and pre Protestants view the Catholic Church. I think after 1,200 years of burning and strangling women and children for theological disagreements warrants all of the disdain thrown at the Roman Catholic Church. The only highlight they have is the Crusades, which were mega based. The rest is as Pagan as you could get soaked in Christian terminology.

@@brianrich7828either you are not reading official Catholic teachings on the matter or you are sorely misunderstanding what idolatry is. Most likely, I think you probably have a faulty view of worship and think that honor and praise are things only given to God, when this is not the case. Mary is the humble servant of God, but is the greatest of all created beings and has been blessed by God more than any other living woman. She is Jesus first disciple, who lived her life in his service. She is the greatest exemplar of our faith and is the greatest created enemy of satan, for it was partly of her that God spoke when he said to the serpent “you shall bruise its heel and it shall crush your head.”
But he still turned the water into wine..
Prove it.
Yeah, he also healed the sick.
Yes that is how Jesus replied to His mother by doing what she asked of Him. MacArthur suggests by rebuking His mother Jesus sins against the fourth commandment. Good luck with that. If you read Poem of the Man God you will see those words were a loving banter between the two of them. If His time had not come why did He go public in performing His FIRST MIRACLE????
@@johnwilson8810His turning water into wine doesn’t mean he is in perpetual servitude to his earthly mother, lmao.
So you are telling me that Jesus, literally God, the omnipotent above all is in servitude towards his earthly mother? Breh
Some people don’t realize if you go through Mary to get through Jesus, you’re putting Mary first and God last. We are commanded to put God first ALWAYS. Anything that comes before God is idolatry plain and simple.“I am the Lord, that is My Name; My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved idols.”
Isaiah 42:8
Catholics go by what they're told; not by what the Bible says. Unless they cherry pick verses out of context e.g. ,Revelation 5
With over 100 protestant denominations which use the same Bible and contradict each other, I guess you are an expert on cherry-picking Bible verses. One question: When Thomas told the crucified and risen Jesus "My God" in John 20:28 was Jesus the son of Mary? Yes or not? and another question for another simple yes or no: Do you have to avoid sexual sins so that God does not send you to hell? Yes or no?

@@danielpitti896 You comment like a most catholics biblical ignorant of the spiritual truth . No where in the scriptures do you see God leaving his throne and coming to earth to sacrifices him self for the sins of the world
the sacrifice of animals did not change the mind or the heart , God sent his son to sacrifice him self for our sins and die in our place and by believing our sins are for given and our souls are cleansed . The woman
or vessel God used brought forth the son of God Gal. 4 - 4 . that all she was used for . Nothing else . she had other son and daughters to look after . The fact that she told Christ that (they were out of wine ) 4 words . His mother at the wedding did not have any thing to do with him performing a miracle . She didn`t request anything . you catholic fabricate lies about Mary and Peter . Christ saw the chance to reveal him self as the son of God and performed a miracle . it is all about him not
his mother . that what he come in the world to do , to show he is deity the son of God , verse 11 ;and his disciples believed on him . that was his mission here on earth . John MacArthur is preaching and teaching the word of God , and it is like I said Mary completed her mission here on earth
she brought forth the son of God that takes away the sins of the world .
that all that was required of her . and to take care of other sons and daughters , She has nothing to do with saved believers relationship with Christ or with us believers worshiping God , in fact she is never mention in the letters to the Churches with the exception of Gal. 4 : 4 , where she was a vessel that brought the son of God into the world , and in Luke 1 : 27 -38.
is used by catholic to fabricate stories about her , being something that
God never intended for her to be , that you say the rosary comes from
and she should be venerated .In Matt . 1: 18- 25 the angel mentioned her name but one time . that is because the important thing is Christ . The last time she is mention is in Acts 1 :14
John MacArthur `s thinking is from the word of God , with out any mariology garbage . God`s word is truth . so you can say the woman is
the mother of God but , there never was a time when God was not . He created the world and every thing in the world that includes the woman that brought Christ into the world . The woman did not give birth to God the father who is a spirit but to his son of flesh and blood . even though they are one Christ the 2nd of the trinity became flesh and blood to do a way with sinful flesh , and his blood cleanse us from all sins , where does it say God died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world , it was his son who become flesh and blood to do away with sinful of the flesh
@@anonimo-um2ng Jesus was the son of Mary. However she was just his earthly mother. She does NOT have any special privileges over everyone else. Just because she gave birth to him. No where in the Bible does Jesus ever talk about Mary to his disciples . Eight times Jesus used the phrase “l and” NOT once did he ever say “she is”. In fact at the wedding of Cana Jesus had to give her a gentle rebuke. When she said there was no more wine.John 2:1 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.
Referring to Mary was "woman" was not a statement of dividing his relationship from his mother, it's far more significant than that. Referring to Mary as "woman" is drawing the parallel between her and Eve. What Eve failed to do, Mary accomplished through the grace of God.
Mary is the mother of God. If Christ is God incarnate, and Mary carried, gestated, and gave birth to him, then it is proper to acknowledge her as the Mother of God.
Considering how much Calvinist/Reformed types like MacArthur cite St. Augustine of Hippo in their theology, it’s odd they reject Augustine’s veneration of Mary as “God-bearer”, “Mother of God”, or Theotokos. Anyways, Jesus still filled her request and turned the water into wine.
Paul quotes from the poets of Athenians the things that are in line with the gospel. That doesn't mean he should agree with all their writings. I don't know why Catholics don't get it. Keep Mar's name out of your prayers and keep her image out of your churches.

No one should be getting any hate for their beliefs. I hope you find the path to follow Jesus and Him alone. Mary was chosen for a purpose, she is not sinless, she should not be idolized or prayed to.
I’m sorry. No one should be sending you hate mail. 🙁
Pray the Rosary. Jesus wants you to have recourse to His mother and love her. How saddened He is when people do not love her. Did anyone suffer more than her when Jesus was crucified. Love the Blessed virgin Mary with all your heart and you will love God more than those who do not honour His Mother. Do people think Jesus would be so cruel as to say Mother you are worthless. How would those who dishonoured her feel if people disrespected their mothers. We need to pray for these people 🙏
I am Catholic and I am appalled at this. First of all, what is your motive, John MacArthur? To tear down another Church and its beliefs - to get people to go to you? or to Jesus? Where is the Christian attitude of - we all love Jesus - and maybe there are different paths to get to Him and even Jesus says that - in my Father’s house are many mansions………etc. I don’t go around criticizing my non-Catholic brothers and sisters - for not having the same love for Mary that I do - I LOVE them and try to build bridges so that we can worship together in harmony. I will NEVER understand the need to tear down another religion that is clearly of God to make ourselves look smart or the best or the most learned. Your misunderstanding and different interpretation of Scripture - is being handled very poorly here and in a non-Christian manner. Another name for Satan is “Diablos” - the divider. Please don’t give in to him. Let’s stand on the common ground of the Bible and of the Glorious Word of God and of His Saving Passion - He died for ALL of us! God bless you and peace be with you. “He has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” - ”Let us love one another for love is of God”
First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video.
Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement.
The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive.
John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will.
Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy.
Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son).
John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment.
All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...

The honoring of Mary as the Mother of God can be traced back to the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. So not only the early Christians but to this very day the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Ethiopian, Armenian, Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran churches all believe that Mary was the mother of God.
Mary, herself needed salvation. Jesus said, “ Before Abraham was, I AM. Mary is earthly, human, and has a beginning. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity has no beginning because he is God. ( second person of the Trinity) Jesus has existed with God from eternities past. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, except Mary. No! All have sinned period! All men/women need Salvation including Mary. Mary needed Salvation like all humanity needs Salvation. To pray to Mary is blasphemy. We can boldly approach the throne of grace. Praying to Mary is not biblical but a tradition of the Catholic fathers. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their traditions. Jesus would rebuke catholic traditions.
Epic nestorian moment
Lol I thought the same thing
Tru dat
How does a person get to heaven ?
Misogynistic nestorians.
@markevans8054 nobody is arguing salvation, we all agree that no one goes to heaven except through Jesus Christ
I am Orthodox, not Catholic, and as such would agree with Pastor MacArthur on several points against Roman Catholic teaching on and devotion to Mary. But, there are so many inaccuracies here. Pastor MacArthur has a great rhetorical gift, but he shows that he doesn't understand a few things. "Woman" he makes into "M'am", but it's more equivalent to "Dear Lady". Christ's use of the term at the cross supposedly means that Jesus is saying "I don't have anything to do with you anymore"? That's simply crazy talk. Any reader can clearly see that our Lord, in the moment of his own trial, is looking after his mother to ensure her well-being in the world. And by the way, this giving of Mary to the apostle John is a strong evidence that Jesus's so-called "brothers" in the New Testament were his half-brothers, those children of Joseph from his first wife. Otherwise, Mary would not have needed to have been taken care of by someone other than one of her own sons.
The phrase "what does this have to do with you and me" is not speaking about a division between our Lord and his mother, but rather is showing a unity between them (you and me, together). How MacArthur gets from point A to point Z is a truly circuitous route. The clearest way is from point A to point B, but he's seems to want so badly to prove something that he ignores the obvious. MacArthur is way too eager here, and in many other points in the video, to dismiss Mary. I'd like to do a full review, but the ending of the passage will suffice. Christ *honors* his mother's request. Let that sink in. All this talk about how Jesus is dismissing Mary, doesn't want to have anything to do with her, separates himself from her, puts her in her place and so forth, all this talk misses the end of the account. This huge point is totally lost with MacArthur. Christ *honored* her request.
Where does this concept of Joseph's first wife (your words) come from please?
Wow,,, you get an A in apologetics,,, that will never change the minds of people who are born agin and spirit filled who’ve been shown the truth
@@LiffeyKing This is the tradition of the Church (but is not held to be infallible tradition). You won't find that teaching in the bible.

Mary would not have needed to have been taken care of by someone other than one of her own sons.
You will find in scripture that the brothers and sisters of Jesus are listed and that they were not believers in Christ before the resurrection so Jesus is providing for His mother which is the correct thing to do in honoring His parents.
Does this guy really believe that the author of the 10 Commandments Himself was so disobedient to the 4th Commandment? Think man think.
The word woman was used to refer to the "woman" of Genesis for she was the new Eve. Just as Eve was mother of all flesh, Mary is the mother of all redeemed by the second Adam.
Woman at Cana is symbolic just as running out of wine in a wine country. Think and stop damning your soul. Cana was a wedding event, and He didn't deny her anything because He turns around and performs His very first miracle at her request.
This generation reads the Bible yet denies the very teaching contained in it.
I was just at a catholic church for a service bc my cousin was having his infant baptized. During the service they stated that they were going to ask Mary and like 7 saints to "hear our prayer" this is where it gets blasphemous. The saints don't answer prayers nor are they intercessors. We need to realize this. Stop with the idols statues rituals ect. The relationship is what Jesus is and seeks from us.
So because the Saints died they cannot pray for you. You do not believe your neighbor can pray for you .
@@markadams696 ACTUALLY IF YOU READ IT. IT SAYS HEAR OUR PRAYER. ALSO I STATED CATHOLICS THINK THEY CAN TAKE PRAYERS TO mary or whoever. YOU ONLY PRAY TO JESUS OR THE FATHER.

Yes there is a real Mary born into sin just as we were, but The Virgin Mary does not exist she's the creation of the Vatican the real Mary had six more children after Christ seems she couldn't get enough so there is no Virgin Mary that ended after Christ was born but the Vatican has two things going Mary being a virgin never haven't given birth to Christ still pregnant secondly crisis still on the cross the crucifixion never ended think about it all the so-called miraculous miracles have taken place in the Vatican communion Wafers bleeding blood nowhere in the Old Testament or new does it say God had any inanimate object bleed blood he had blood sacrifices before Calvary took place for sin if you have a picture or something depicting Christ and it starts bleeding burn it that's not of God, is for the Virgin Mary she does not exist the moment when the Vatican occultist call the pope Holy Father they are giving him God's title of Holy Father and in Isaiah 42:8 it's blasphemy God says he will not share his throne with any man or Graven image where the priest claims the power to forgive sin he is denying Calvary took place John 10:35 and those believing that priest walk in condemnation, the Bible says to trust no man when it comes to your salvation you are to pick up the Bible and read it for yourself test the scriptures that you hear are they being twisted are they being replaced by personal theology there are many wolves in Shepherd's clothing making merchandise of people and every one of these wolves is a predator each one has a different agenda but it all circles around to money how much is in their bank account and what words will it take for me to get it that's the philosophy of these wolves, Beware of the Wolves or they how louder than anyone else
we're in the Bible. does it say anything about Mary Mary stop being jesus's mother when Jesus was 12 years old and he distanced himself from his mother that was over. she is not deity and she is not in charge of his father's business and Jesus told her that in so many words he said I have to go about my father's business politely telling her that she is not in that role and not up at all in any relationship with the father in heaven
@@ggturner13 real Mary was there alone I'm true she was not a part of his ministry, you have to remember occults like the Vatican have created a Virgin Mary the nuns are a Vatican creation there's nothing holy about a nun, nothing holy about a pedophile calling himself the Pope or God on Earth, when a priest tells you your sins are forgiven he is denying Calvary took place and when you call the Pope Holy Father it's a blasphemy! in Isaiah 42:8 God said I am and I will share my throne with no one or any Graven images, if you have a picture that starts bleeding blood or an idol that starts bleeding blood destroy it it's not of God! nowhere in scriptures does it say God used any inanimate object to put fear in anybody by having it bleed blood it is convenient for the Vatican to have their Idols bleeding blood right down to a piece of bread, because it draws the stupidity of those looking for temporary salvation through a church without having to follow God's Commandments or rules our society has pushed the Old Testament out claiming it's irrelevant yet 99% of God's laws and Commandments are found in the Old Testament and because we don't obey those laws or Commandments there is no fear of God's Wrath in our hearts Jesus said Calvary took place for sin only! it did not change his laws for his Commandments! we are still the following them until his return and because we don't, we will stand before the Judgment thrown guilty of not obeying him, guilty of not following his Commandments, and those not covered by the blood will burn! The people push aside is everything you take a stand for you will face judgment as if you did those things you claim to be right but aren't those who say abortion is good Will face a God who will show them the same compassion that abortion doctor has is he rips each child from the womb None, those to say sodomites are okay will stand with him and suffer the same judgment God will never bless an abomination something he has cursed! Our status in life has no real purpose today the world sees America as Sodom and Gomorrah the country of wickedness no longer country to be respected or feared because our society has put dictators and idiots in office and so the price is going to be paid, in the Book of Revelations we are the head of the fourth Beast but our Wings of Freedom have been burned away and another country is in control of our movements and makes the decisions on what we do freedom is gone in that period of time, and it will either be China or Russia in control of this country at that time!
Jesus is Mary's Savior from her sins
Jesus rebuked Mary telling her that he had to go about his father's business and she was not allowed in the deity at 12 years old in the synagogue Jesus distance himself from his mother politely but she is not a God and is a saintly person and that's all she is just like any other center and therefore cannot have any control over salvation are saving anybody. I hope this is clear to everybody. we do not pray to Mary. we can ask Mary or anyone. pray for us. Amen
@@ggturner13 Mary being the mother of The Lord God does not deny and undermine Jesus as Mary's Savior. Jesus never rebuked his mother, that is a protestant hallucination. Mary is the first believer of Jesus not only the Mother of the Lord God (LUKE 1:43) but Mary is acts as a mother and the guardian of the young adolescent Jesus. 2ND Jesus means GOD SAVES or GOD THE SAVIOR in Hebrew, that is why Mary is the mother of GOD THE SAVIOR. He is also called "IMMANUEL" in the Book of Isaiah 7:14 meaning GOD WITH US in Hebrew, this is why Mary is the true mother of God ! God chose to have a mother in the bubble of space and time (earth), God humbled himself to the world, men and angels. PHIL 2:6-8 ; HEB 2:9
PHILIPPIANS 2:6-8 6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
HEBREWS 2:9 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
Jesus is God ! The Trinity is inseparable. God chose to have a mother read LUKE 1 ! Are you making Elizabeth a liar when she said that Jesus is His Lord in LUKE 1:43 when she met Mary was about to approach her ? LUKE 1:43 [ And whence is this to me, that THE MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? ]
The Lord Jesus Christ has a mother and He is God, so the Lord God Jesus Christ has a mother. When the Lord Jesus Christ was born by Mary, He is no longer simply Jesus as God, but rather, He became Jesus as God who became Man (JOHN 1:14) or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh (1 TIMOTHY 3:16).
Jesus as God who became Man or Jesus as God who was manifested in the flesh has to have a mother, for otherwise, how will Jesus as God become Man or manifest in the flesh if He has no mother?
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among WOMEN, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me? (LUKE 1:41-43)
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (1 CORINTHIANS 12:3-5)
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 )
And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (JOHN 20:28-29)
(DEUTERONOMY 10:17) ìFor the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh rewardî

As a Protestant, Mary is the mother of God
Mary mother of Jesus has to look to Jesus for Salvation. Without Jesus, Mary won't receive heaven.

@@ExposingFalseDoctrines Yes, I agree. I’m a Protestant, as well. I’m just saying it’d be theologically incorrect to separate Jesus’ humanity from His divinity, and thus say Mary didn’t birth God.

I do understand what you are saying, but is Jesus going to be God of Mary in heaven or is she going to be mother of God in Heaven? See the question which I am also trying to learn how to phrase correctly?
@@ExposingFalseDoctrines Jesus is obviously the God of Mary, but Mary carried the literal God-incarnate Christ in her womb. To say Mary is the mother of God doesn’t mean she lords over Christ or that she is greater than/created Christ. It simply means she bore the God Jesus Christ in her womb, therefore, His mother.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv
Mary mother of Jesus yes, but when trying to discuss this with others, they will hear that Mary is a God along side with the Trinity or even apart of Trinity. Muslims in the beginning have been bashing Roman Catholic Church for this very reason before of how we give Mary a high stool to sit on to where veneration might become worship as if she (Mary) is not a sinner who needs Salvation from Jesus.
To figure out exactly what position Mary will hold in heaven is not going to be Mother goddess of heaven. Queen of heaven.
She simply was a vessel God used to bare the coming prophesied Messiah. She will hold no higher status? And yet because of these types of discussions, people often get confused on should we or should we not worship at the Fatima shrines of Mary and baby angels.
To be called Woman back then was a sign of respect and honor which is why the woman at the well was also surprised by how Jesus was regarding her.
yes that woman at the well was not mary, jesus never called mary mom or mother because he is God and God have no mother. at the cross jesus said to his follower behold your mother and said to mary "woman behold your son" so he told his follower behold your mother you notice how jesus said your mother and not my mother ? and notice jesus used woman and not mother when talking with mary?
Asking Mary in heaven to pray for you, asking Mary to talk to Jesus for you, asking Mary to come help you or send help is not the same as giving Mary honor. Giving Mary honor is me telling you she was the most blessed woman on earth who ever was. Saying the prayers of our lady as pope john Paul did is not honoring her. It is replacing Jesus with Mary

@@thomassandoval8025 First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video.
Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement.
The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive.
John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will.
Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy.
Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son).
John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment.
All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...
@@seanburlile6616 if Mary is the "woman" from Gen 3:15 then how could Mary be without sin? The woman was decieved and ate the fruit first in violation of Gods commandment.
However, this actually makes sense when you consider Mary gave a burnt offering and a sin offering after Jesus' birth. But why would she need to give a sin offering if she was sinless?
If you are saying she is the "woman" from Genesis then you are saying she is a sinner. By extension you are saying pope pius IX is wrong, which you cant do without being named anathema to the RCC. You'd be right though because "all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory." No exception there for any man or woman.
I dont believe Jesus was violating the commandment to honor your mother when on separate occasions he declared people who believe in Gods Word are his mother and brothers. Or when the woman said blessed is the womb that bore you and Jesus said "rather, blessed are those that hear the word of God and obey." These passages dont seem to support the co-mediatrix dogma of the RCC.
Yes is it about jesus
Mary does not take away from Jesus. She brings us closer to him. You haven't experienced yoy don tknoq or understand
Totally wrong! It is the word of God and the Holy Spirit that brings us to Jesus.
As a Catholic, we are asking for her intercession just like we would ask someone to pray for us. MacArthur is disrespecting the Mother of God in this video. You can tell by his flipped way he talks about her….shame on him. I’m sure MacArthur is a man of God, but he is wrong on this issue.

Mary was a humble servant of God, a wonderful model to us BUT she was a sinner just like everyone. She knew she needed a Savior and would be horrified if she knew how the RC church was using her. Here’s her testimony. The Magnificat - And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. Luke 1:46-55.
Prayers to the saints is biblical
Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of “golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” But if the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers.
the saints would be aware of our prayers even when they are not directed to them!
The intercession of fellow Christians-which is what the saints in heaven are-also clearly does not interfere with Christ’s unique mediatorship because in the four verses immediately preceding 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul says that Christians should intercede: “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and pleasing to God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:1-4). Clearly, then, intercessory prayers offered by Christians on behalf of others is something “good and pleasing to God,” not something infringing on Christ’s role as mediator.
God answers in particular the prayers of the righteous. James declares: “The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. Elijah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit” (Jas. 5:16-18). Yet those Christians in heaven are more righteous, since they have been made perfect to stand in God’s presence (Heb. 12:22-23), than anyone on earth, meaning their prayers would be even more efficacious.
Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In the book of Revelation, we read: “[An] angel came and stood at the altar [in heaven] with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God” (Rev. 8:3-4).
And those in heaven who offer to God our prayers aren’t just angels, but humans as well. John sees that “the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8). The simple fact is, as this passage shows: The saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.
There’s no need to try to justify this with evidence from The Bible.
The Church was given authority by Christ to make divine law.
“Whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.”
This is a power that Christs Church has and no Protestant church can claim it.
Jesus calls Mary woman because she is the new eve, who was also called woman exclusively until her name was changed after the fall.
Interesting how Adam and the woman are the first married couple before the fall. The new Adam and the new woman are at a wedding where only they are named (not the bride and the groom).
On the cross at the redemption Mary's name is changed by the new Adam, like the original by the old, but instead of Eve (mother of all of the living) she is called mother. The new mother of all the living in Christ. JMac showing a sincere lack of understanding, perhaps he should submit to the church fathers.
To study this look into (new adam, new eve, the book of genesis mirrored in the gospel of John. In fact all of Catholic typology will change your life).
The blind and proud man leadeth many to perdition, and them having itchy ears praises him as he holds himself above the Word of GOD and blasphemes the LORD'S annoited ones.
He just labelled Jesus Himself a sinner for he that breaks one of the 10 Commandments (the 4th in this case) breaks them all.
Nonsense
Matthew 10 34 36; Luke 14 26.
Hail Mary, full of Grace, punch the Devil ( and his minions) in the face!
You're over reacting, Mary is not important, Jesus is important, he's God, not Mary, it's not complicated.
What makes you think Jesus was rebuking her? Who’s to say John wasn’t using the word woman to make a comparison between Mary and Eve? Also, you do realize Catholics don’t have a problem with praying to Jesus right? Also, we technically don’t pray to Mary or the saints, we ask them to pray for us, just like you would ask a friend to pray for you. Are we not supposed to do that, either? Also, to say that Mary is not the mother of God is to fall into Nestorianism. People don’t give birth to natures.
So you do the e-x-a-c-t same activities of idolatry and change the name and is fine? Lmao. WHERE in the Bible does ANYONE talk to the dead?
Ishtar Worshippers are really something else.
MacArthur is misinterpreting scripture here. Jesus would never rebuke his Mother because that would put him in violation of his Father's commandment of not Honoring His Father and Mother. Jesus was perfect and sin free by His nature and could never break His Father's commandments. Great comment. God Bless.

You're absolutely right that that is why Satan hates Mary. But this pastor does not hate Mary. He is simply explaining that Jesus saves, not anyone else.

Its a parable, not reality.
Fo anyone interrested, Father Chris Allar has a clip where he answers this preacher. And he is spot on!
Father Chris is awesome!
(John 2:1-11) In this passage Jesus is calling Mary ”women” which is a refrence to Eve being called ”women” in gen 2:22.
Another hint of her not actually rebuking Mary is that he did listen to his mother. She told him about the problem, Jesus listened to her, and he fixed it.
When Jesus was on the cross giving Mary to the apostle John, he is literally giving her as a mother to the faithfull.
We also cannot insist that Jesus calling Mary ”women” was disrespectfull. For us hearing that sort of language used would be rude, in that time period it had most definitely not the same meaning to it.
You could also say that Jesus answering ”What have i to do with thee?” Is a sort of plea to her, saying something like ”Why now Mary?”. Reafirming that because of his and her relationship, he wants to fulfill her request but his time was not meant come yet.
Actually him just saying that ”My time has not yet come” and then STILL following her request, means that SHE actually pushed Jesus to reveal himself earlier than expected.
Saying if a person doesn't know Jesus, they won't get to heaven is ludicrous, because the prophets of the old testament never knew Jesus, but they prayed and served God.
They knew the promise of the coming Messiah.
We have to pray for John MacArthur
Is his health in question?

Dear @@brucewmclaughlin9072, I will preface my comment by saying that I am no great intellect, philosopher or theologian. I am just an ordinary, unknown bloke trying to live my Catholic Faith in today's crazy world. What I meant by my comment was that the speaker, John MacArthur, definitely has knowledge of what the Church teaches about Mary. However, despite this knowledge he is still does not understand the role of Mary. Matthew 13:13 seems pertinent.

John, love you brother. Please stop maligning Our Lady as you do. I left Protestantism this year for the church Jesus founded partly because of the judgmental attitudes of many of its proponents. Hopefully, someday you will too.
Let me tell you the story about the wedding at Cana.
The bride and groom ran out of wine
Mary asked Jesus to help them
Jesus said, woman, it’s not yet my time. (He didn’t want his secret out yet)
Mary said to the servants “do whatever he (Jesus ) tells you to do”
Jesus had the servants fill the empty container era w water and then he turned that water to wine.
Mary asked him to help and he did it. There was no rebuking Mary from Jesus. There was no, woman, we’re done here. Our relationship is over
THAT WAS HIS MOTHER! Do you honestly think God would disobey the 4th commandment and disrespect his mother AS HE WAS DYING ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS!? This video is nothing but hate propaganda
THAT WAS HIS MOTHER! Do you honestly think God would disobey the 4th commandment and disrespect his mother AS HE WAS DYING ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS!? This video is nothing but hate propaganda
maybe you should watch that section of the video again and question what you were taught. This is NOT hate propaganda. On the cross Jesus honored His mother by providing someone to take care of her as when you read the Gospels Jesus tells you that home life was not as warm and friendly as we would like to believe and the brothers and sisters of Jesus had abandoned Him and His mother . Jesus was doing what the 4th and eleventh commandment states. Yup Eleventh you can find it in scripture. John 13:34?

Explain your sentence as you are presenting something not said by MacArthur and misrepresenting truth to feed your bias.
such a ridiculous video and I am just amazed at all the people listening to this blasphemous heretic.
The video is not blasphemous and it is only upsetting to you because you accepted what the roman Catholic church magisterium has decided and you have not questioned the decisions as Acts 17::11 as an example is given to you the believer to do the same .
The real problem is that ALL people calling themselves believers accepting what is taught without proving from the scriptures that what is taught is actually true and not someone's choice belief .
Or maybe Jesus being God had the ability to see a time when an organization (RCC) would take Mary's role totally out of context and give her titles that aren't true. So he had to show who Mary was, she was blessed to carry the Lord Jesus Christ in her womb
@@toddgallo1759 Mary asked Jesus to intercede w the problem of the wine running out and he did it. Period. Just talking about this story, that’s how it began and ended.
The bible passage Matthew 12:46-50 settles the issue of mother Mary having any "sacred" standing with Jesus. There are many other scriptural citations confirming it. Thank you for this posting Dr. MacArthur. God bless you & your family.
Mary, Mother of God has been Church dogma since the 5th century and was widely believed before then
Mary son Jesus Christ. Notice capitalization? Mary never stated she was the mother of God. She was the mother of Jesus, the human part, aka fully human. Yes, Jesus is fully God, but Mary is not the mother of God, the Divine part.
Eastern Orthodox here, Mary is the mother of our God . O most holy theotokos save us
Born Orthodox here,read your Bible,wake up from your Ignorance,,,
My question is, would rebuking His mother and saying "none of your business" be dishonoring her, therefore a sin? If so, there is a real problem with Macs take on this because it would mean Jesus was not the perfect sacrifice.
@@PS-ff4fy i have read the bible
It's quite interesting how MacArthur is just making up things and inserting his own opinion. Notice that even though it wasn't "his time" yet....he made it "his time" because of his mother's request. He did not dismiss this idea. He was obedient to her request....even though it wasn't his time yet. So much for not being obedient to his mother. Protestants try so very hard to make this something that it is not.
Tell me what is the message of the wedding at Cana? How would you sum it up?
I used to listen to John MacArthur a lot. What he said made so much sense. I decided one day to start studying the early church and shocked to find that Calvinism and Protestantism as a whole was pretty much entirely absent. I became Catholic in 2020 thanks be to God.
Congratulations, me too. His lies are what got me to the Catholic Church. Every single time he talks about Catholics he says to go to the early Christian. Out of curiosity i wanted to see how the early Christian’s worshipped before Pagan Rome destroyed Christianity.
The first person I found was Saint Ignatius of Antioch. My jaw dropped
See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch
Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the Flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 6
I was pretty much sold from that point on. I converted last year November 2024.
Of course Catholics and Protestants have differ interpretations of scripture, but
I just don’t see how people can follow a liar. Like this man.
@JuanGonzalez-kb3gm I agree my friend, I was stunned when I read Ignatius as well. Then you get to St. Augustine and his beliefs about the church are so Catholic...its a trip
Good for you!… MaCarther is a heretic! His claim that Catholics belief Mary gave birth to God is proof he is truly distorted in his teaching! Jesus existed with The Father in eternity!. Mary gave birth to his human nature, not His divine nature… MacCarther must be challenged or he’ll continue to distort these truths!

Matthew 6:7 - 8 (NLT)
“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.
8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!"
verse 7 "....as the Gentiles do..."
The New Living Translation translates "gentiles"
- whereas J.B.Phillips (and others) translates it "pagans"
- and others translate it "heathens".
How much more plainly could Jesus have said it? DO NOT PRAY TO MARY over and over and over (the rosary??!!!!)
Get and NASB and you will have a more accurate book. The NLT is paraphrase somewhat and misses some of the salient points of what God said.
@@ggturner13 It is a VERY good practice to have a few different translations (and transliterations) available - ESPECIALLY when dealing with cultic practice of TWISTING Scripture - or taking an obscure scripture OUT OF CONTEXT and creating a dogma or doctrine around that obscure or easily misunderstood scripture... i.e... "...you are a rock (pebble) and upon this rock I will build my church..."
Yes, the word translates to PEBBLE - and EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE, the usage of the word ROCK refers to JESUS, not an apostle!!!

What a cold, dark portrait John MacArthur paints of the relationship between Jesus and his mother. Is that the kind of attitude MacArthur has with his own mother? I’m sure it’s not. So how much more love did Jesus have for His own mother, who did God’s will?
The woman who bore the Son of God? “Blessed art thou among women” are the words of the archangel Gabriel.
Is MacArthur smarter than an archangel who stands before God? The woman was chosen by God! She was blessed among women, as the angel said, and Christ honored His mother with a holy love and reverence and care. Mary was not forcing her will on Christ. What a ridiculous perspective, and a bizarre interpretation by MacArthur, interjecting his own mean nature into it. Really John MacArthur? Are you gonna put words in the Lord’s mouth? “None of your business”? Where did Jesus say that? He takes the English translation and skews it. “Woman, what am I to do with you, my hour has not come”. In other words, the official beginning of His ministry to perform such wonders and miracles had not come yet. What is it you want me to do? He changed the water into wine, as His mother requested, and He did it out of Love!
Christ knew this story would be told for the sake of all of us. This is what he was saying to His beloved mother, and not the interpretation that joyless, stone faced John MacArthur reads into it. MacArthur’s hate for Catholics, his obsession with Catholic bashing is off the charts. Catholics do not worship Mary. We have reverence for her, we honor her, and she was given to us when Christ told John the apostle to take her into his care. “Son behold your mother, mother behold your son”. That line became scripture as it was meant for all of us, He was giving His mother to the family church. How many of us would defend the honor of our own mothers??? And know that the Lord will defend the honor of His mother too.
Christ and Christ only is our salvation.
Question for John MacArthur: Do you think you have the authority to infallibly understand the meaning of the Bible and, if so, why?

I have in laws who are Catholic and I have tried to understand their side of things, but I cannot get past things such as Praying to Mary, Hail Mary prayers, praying for the dead, praying to saints, and the list goes on. We are to rely on scripture for truth, otherwise how can we test all things as we are told to? We are to test it against scripture, and many of the Catholic ideologies are just simply not found in it.
The Catholic church for centuries has buried God's word i.e. the Holy Scriptures under huge mountains of man made doctrines making void the very word of God. This is one of the reasons Jesus sharply rebuked the pharisees and the Sadducees, their duplicity. See Matthew 23.
Read the fathers of the Church
Where does it say to rely on scripture? Scripture says the church (Catholic) is the pillar and foundation of truth.
Jesus created one church not the 30,000 to 40,000 like MacArthur’s who dislike the mother He adored. Jesus ultimately answered His mother at Cana by performing a miracle for her by changing water into wine. A supreme act of love for one’s mother. Come to the one true church to understand Jesus. Forty thousand denominations late to the game. Look in your mirrors.
@@israelperez-sg8er The Catholic Church protected scripture for 1500 years before one Catholic priest Martin Luther took a bunch of believers onto their own road where they argued with each other. We now have thousands of Protestant denominations adrift in the seas. Arguing they are all right in interpretation of the Bible. The early church fathers are rolling over in their graves. MacArthur shows up what, a few months ago bad mouthing the mother of Jesus telling everyone he knows best. Protestants tell you they go straight to Jesus yet they need MacArthur. Jesus’ mother will lead you to Jesus. She spent 33 years with Jesus. Obviously MacArthur has yet to spend five minutes with Jesus. There is a saying ‘EVERY TIME A MAN OPENS HIS MOUTH HE JUDGES HIMSELF’ MacArthur bad mouths the mother of God every time he opens his mouth. I would not want to hang around with a guy like that.

El protestantismo ni tan siquiera existia antes del siglo XVI aunque es verdad que multitud de herejias surgieron ya desde el primer siglo del Cristianismo.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Pray for him…
The Holy Spirit does many things in the lives of believers. He is the believers’ Helper (John 14:26).
Not Mary
He indwells believers and seals them until the day of redemption-this indicates that the Holy Spirit’s presence in the believer is irreversible. He guards and guarantees the salvation of the ones He indwells (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30).
Not Mary
The Holy Spirit assists believers in prayer (Jude 1:20) and “intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).
Not Mary
The Holy Spirit regenerates and renews the believer (Titus 3:5). At the moment of salvation, the Spirit baptizes the believer into the Body of Christ (Romans 6:3). Believers receive the new birth by the power of the Spirit (John 3:5-8). The Spirit comforts believers with fellowship and joy as they go through a hostile world (1 Thessalonians 1:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
Not Mary
The Spirit, in His mighty power, fills believers with “all joy and peace” as they trust the Lord, causing believers to “overflow with hope” (Romans 15:13).
Sanctification is another work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. The Spirit sets Himself against the desires of the flesh and leads the believer into righteousness (Galatians 5:16-18). The works of the flesh become less evident, and the fruit of the Spirit becomes more evident (Galatians 5:19-26). Believers are commanded to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18), which means they are to yield themselves to the Spirit’s full control.
The Holy Spirit is also a gift-giver. “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them” (1 Corinthians 12:4). The spiritual gifts that believers possess are given by the Holy Spirit as He determines in His wisdom (verse 11).
The Holy Spirit also does work among unbelievers. Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to “convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8, ESV).
Not Mary
The Spirit testifies of Christ (John 15:26), pointing people to the Lord.
Not Mary
Currently, the Holy Spirit is also restraining sin and combatting “the secret power of lawlessness” in the world. This action keeps the rise of the Antichrist at bay (2 Thessalonians 2:6-10).
The Holy Spirit has one other important role, and that is to give believers wisdom by which we can understand God. “These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-11). Since we have been given the amazing gift of God’s Spirit inside ourselves, we can comprehend the thoughts of God, as revealed in the Scripture. The Spirit helps us understand. This is wisdom from God, rather than wisdom from man. No amount of human knowledge can ever replace the Holy Spirit’s teaching (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,and there is ONE mediater between God and men,the Man Jesus Christ...John 14:6...Jesus said to him,I am the way,and the truth,and the life.NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME...Colossians 2:8-10 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ, For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.Prayers to Mary does you no good.

Whos had did Jesus sit down next to. Who did Jesus say to pray to? What voice was heard after Jesus was baptized? All these and many more point to 2 persons. Mary gave birth to Jesus not God.
Probably because God existed you know since eternity something our minds cannot even comprehend and she was a human that he created? " For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. "
I think you should’ve pointed out that Jesus did in fact grant Mary’s request at the wedding in Cana. I’m not saying that He was subordinate to her I’m just simply pointing out that He did grant her request.
not because mary asked Him, but because its Father's plan
He did it because He (among other things) came as a SERVANT to be an example (Mark 10 45; Luke 22 24-30), not because He had to OBEY her or grant her anything.
ONLY JESUS is Mediator between God and the human race, since only a being who is both God omnipresent/all knowing and human at the same time can fulfill this role. Neither Mary nor the saints can hear any prayer made towards them or in their names. ONLY in JESUS' name should Christians pray!

According to the early Church Fathers (Christians of the early church), the contents of the Ark of Covenant and the Ark itself carry significant meanings. The manna as the Holy Eucharist, Aaron's rod as Jesus' eternal priestly authority, the tablets of the Law as Christ himself, and the Ark itself as Mary. The Glory of the LORD which filled the tabernacle in Ex 40:34-35, Num 9:18,22 as typology for the overshadow in Luke 1:35. Do research on your own and may peace be with you.
Lets take that even further; The Ark of the Covenant was built by *human* hands from inanimate material, Mary was created by God. The Ark, if found still contains those items. Mary only carried Jesus for 9 months. Notice also that Jesus said he came from his Father in heaven not from Mary. May peace also be with you.
Calling Mary ‘ woman’ instead of ‘mother’ does not indicate a pulling away from her influence. Otherwise why don’t all men do this when they reach maturity? It is a massive stretch of the text. MacArthur is reading in what he wants to see there. He is making stuff up.
Also thumbnail is Mother of God. MacArthur doesn’t even mention this despite it being an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. Without it there is no incarnation. Jesus is divine, because He is God , and human because He has a mother.

John 13 1:5 (Jesus ordaining apostles)is parallel story of Lev 8:13 (Moses ordaining Aaron and his sons) and John 20:19-23 Jesus to apostles as my father sent me, I send you. Matt 18:18-20 & Matt 16:19 whatever you bind on earth, I bind in heaven and keys of heaven to Peter
Jesus had declared that He would build His church on the truth of Peter’s noble confession, He went on to say, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” ( Matthew 16:19 ). Later, addressing all the disciples, our Lord repeated the words, “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” ( Matthew 18:18 ).
Jesus gave Peter “the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” not the keys to heaven.1 A key was a badge of authority ( Luke 11:52 ), and then as now was used to open doors. Peter used the keys Christ gave him to open the door to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost ( Acts 2 ), to the Samaritans after the preaching of Philip ( Acts 8:14-17 ), and to the Gentiles after the Lord had sent him a vision and an appeal from Cornelius ( Acts 10 ).
The concept of “binding and loosing” found in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18 was commonly used among the Jewish people in relation to the authority of the rabbis to forbid and permit certain practices. Jesus gave Peter and the apostles authority over both the doctrine and practices of the first-century church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, they would be given wisdom to know what to forbid and what to permit.
This authority, not on exactly the same level as during the apostolic era, still resides in the leaders of the local church. They may not receive the same kind of supernatural guidance as the apostles did,but they possess the entire New Testament along with the direction of the Holy Spirit. 2 Therefore, when church leaders discipline a church member who promotes incorrect doctrine or is involved in evil behavior, they act with divine approval. They are carrying out God’s will, and what they do is ratified in heaven. Since their authority is not ultimately derived from their personal qualities or their office but from Scripture and the instruction of the Holy Spirit, they should exercise it humbly and prayerfully.
Giving keys ancient Jewish tradition of kings leaving their power to someone in their absence.
Isaiah 22:22 in Other Translations
22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 22 I will give him the key to the house of David-the highest position in the royal court.
Matthew 16:17-20 is the only time that the Bible mentions keys to the kingdom. First, Jesus asked his disciples, “Whom do men say that I am?” They responded that some say he is John the Baptist. Some say he is Elias, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. Then, Jesus asked, “But whom say ye that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
From the Bible, we can tell that Jesus was pleased with Simon Peter’s answer, just as a teacher would be pleased with a student’s correct response to a question. Jesus told him:
“Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee; That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shalt be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:17-19).
Roman Catholicism teaches that Jesus established a hierarchy in the church by handing Saint Peter the keys to the kingdom. The keys symbolize papal authority and appear on the papal coat of arms. According to Catholicism, Jesus committed the power of binding and loosing to Peter. The power of the keys symbolizes authority to govern the house of God. Power to bind and loose means authority to forgive sin, pronounce doctrinal judgments, and take disciplinary action in the church.

𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐡, The lawlessness Jesus is speaking of are the breaking the Laws of the Ten Commandments which according to Jesus are very much still in effect. Because Jesus in Matthew 7:21 is speaking of the day of judgement, a time that hasn't happened yet.

Mike,
I see your many replies. This pastor, and most non-Catholics, are not disputing the incredible beauty and faith and role of Mary, the mother of the Christ.
He is noting that Mary was never called out by Jesus or the Pauline writings or other as someone who is required to intercede or who should be engaged.
“I am the Father are one”. “Ask for anything in my name and it will be given to you”. “I will send the Counselor to you, and he will explain everything to you.”
If we have a restored intimacy with God, where is the requirement for Mary?
My personal observation is that this Mary interposition is a New Testament way to restore the old “temple curtain” of separation from a holy God.
@@jackcoleman5955 well said brother!

Mary hears no one's prayers any more than our loved ones. The Holy Spirit takes our prayers to Jesus who intercedes for us as He requests to the Father. Mary would throw ashes on her head if she saw the veneration going on.

Amazing how we Christians spend so much effort creating division and angst, then wonder why our numbers are dwindling.

I conclude by admitting that there have been and will always by error in the church as it is run by men, just like error can be found in ANY denomination. Only God is perfect.
The Catholic Church, in its early days, was Bible based. Over the centuries it accumulated multiple doctrines nowhere found in the Scriptures.

Praying to Mary & the Saints is unbiblical!
There's a difference between asking family or friends to pray for you, (which by the way doesn't mean that those people you've asked to pray have more power or authority than you, but that if more people join in the same prayer, more petitions are heard at the throne of God) and there's a difference with speaking to dead people!
Jesus is both Mediator & Intercessor. If Jesus is sufficient for both those roles then why do we need to pray to Mary or one of the saints, who by the way, are dead and departed?
Yes, they are alive in heaven, however, there is no scriptural basis for praying to them, rather the opposite is true!
By praying To them, we are taking the attributes of God and placing them on mere humans! Only God is Omnipresent(everywhere at once), Omniscient(knowing everything at all times), Omnipotent(all powerful) & Omnibenevolent(supremely Holy & Good).
If the word of God tells us to come to Him directly, then why do we need to pray to anyone else???
Take a look at the following scriptural references:
Romans 8:34
[34]Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes INTERCESSION for us.
Hebrews 4:14-16
[14]Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
[15]For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
[16]Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 7:23-27
[23]Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
[24]But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
[25]Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
[26]For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
[27]who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
1 Timothy 2:5
[5]For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
Acts 4:12
[12]Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Jeremiah 29:12-13 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Philippians 4:6-7
[6]Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
[7]and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:26-27
[26]Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
[27]Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Matthew 6:6,9-15
[6]But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
[9]In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
[10]Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
[11]Give us this day our daily bread.
[12]And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
[13]And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
[14]“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
[15]But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
1 John 5:14-15
[14]Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
[15]And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
2 Chronicles 7:14
[14]if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Psalms 17:6
[6]I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
Psalms 102:17
[17]He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer.
Psalms 145:18-19
[18]The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
[19]He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.
Proverbs 15:29
[29]The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
Romans 10:13
[13]For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

@@antonypelling9194 Well Matthew 1:24-25 as an argument is very bad. "but knew her not until she had given birth to a son". The whole point is that Jesus is not Joseph´s son that He was born of the Holy Spirit and if Joseph and Mary had sex or not after His birth is irrelevant to what Matthew is saying and more important: the greek word ἕως, heos "until" was used by Jews in a different way for example in 2 Samuel 6:23: " Saul’s daughter Michal was childless ἕως until the day she died". So following your bad argument Michal gave birth after she died or according to Paul in Romans 5:14 "death reigned from Adam to Moses" but after Moses the situation changed and no one died anymore. Yes, the argument you received is pretty bad. And what is more satanic than to reject the clear teaching of Jesus about salvation? Jesus rejects salvation by faith alone over and over again (Matthew 5:29-30; 6:14-15;12:37;16:27 and a very long list).
I explained this to a Catholic relative. Her reply was that Joseph was an old man, a widower with kids, who wasn’t interested in sex anymore so that’s why he was chosen to be Mary’s husband. Joseph’s kids were Jesus’ half brothers. 😞
@@jackieharris9666 That is the orthodox position and there are protestants who accept this view, Richard Bauckham is a very well-known Protestant NT that pointed out the fact that the greek word adelphos can mean half brother for example in Mark 6:18 where Herod Antipas was the half-brother of Herod Philip.
Anyone please from Scripture put another baby in Mary's womb When you can't you need to shut up on this topic. When you don't you ADD to scripture ad will bring plagues against yourselves.
Why do you ask family and friends to pray for you then?
Why did an Angel greet Mary with HAIL, FULL OF GRACE?
He never said "Full of Grace" He said "You who are highly favored"
Asking people to pray brings glory to god, it strengthens the person asking and strengthens the faith or the one being asked, it gets people praying and draws them closer to God. None of this happens with asking Mary. She has her full reward. We on earth do not.

Confession why it's important to confess to a priest
John 20:21-23
21). and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.'
22). After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23). If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.
The only way the apostles could either forgive or retain sins is by first hearing those sins confessed, and then making a judgment whether or not the penitent should be absolved.
James 5:14-16
14). Any one of you who is ill should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint the sick person with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him.
15). The prayer of faith will save the sick person and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.
16). So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another to be cured; the heartfelt prayer of someone upright works very powerfully.
When it comes to one “suffering;” St. James says, “Let him pray.” “Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.” But when it comes to sickness and personal sins, he tells his readers they must go to the “elders”-not just anyone-in order to receive this “anointing” and the forgiveness of sins.
St. James had just told us to go to the presbyter in verse 14 for healing and the forgiveness of sins. Then, verse 16 begins with the word therefore-a conjunction that would seem to connect verse 16 back to verses 14 and 15. The context seems to point to the “elder” as the one to whom we confess our sins.
2 Corinthians 2:10
10). But if you forgive anybody, then I too forgive that person; and whatever I have forgiven, if there is anything I have forgiven, I have done it for your sake in Christ's presence,
2 Corinthians 5:18
18). It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Matthew 16:19
19). I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'
Matthew 18:18
18). 'In truth I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

@@andrewt.2850 There are 40+ Scriptures between the Old and New Testaments that say Jesus is the Rock!!
I can list them all for you if you wish, but I will mention a few right now:

2 Samuel 22:32, " *And who is the Rock except our God* ?"
2 Samuel 22:47, "The Lord lives! *Praise be to my Rock!* Exalted be God. *The Rock, my Savior!* "
Psalm 18:2, " *The Lord is my rock.* My fortress and my deliverer; *my God is my rock,* in whom I take refuge."
Psalm 18:31, "For who is God besides the Lord? *And who is the Rock except our God* ?"
Psalm 19:14, "...O Lord, *my rock and my Redeemer.* "
Psalm 89:26, "...You are my Father, *my God, the Rock my Savior.* "
Isaiah 44:8, "...You are my witness. Is there any God besides me? *No, there is no other rock; I know not one.* "
Matthew 7:24-25, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mind and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
1 Corinthians 10:1-4, "For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, *and that rock was Christ.* "
Please take careful note the end of 1 Corinthians 10:4, "...and that rock was Christ"
According to Holy Scripture then, when Jesus says in Matthew 16:18, 'And I tell you that you are Peter, and on *this rock* I will build my church...", Jesus was referring to himself from Peter's profession in verse 16. Jesus didn't say on your rock Peter, or you are the rock Peter, no, Jesus said, "on this rock".
Now look at John 2:19-21, Jesus answered them, "Destroy *this temple,* and I will raise it in three days," The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days? But *this temple* He had spoken of was His body.
Note the similarity; "Destroy *this temple* ", "on *this rock* ", according to the Word of God, Jesus is the Rock, not Peter.

A Catholic book what?
Yes Bible is a Catholic book. Do some research.
A catholic book???😂😂😂😂
Hi, let me tell you how the Roman Catholic Church came about. Paul went to Rome preach the gospel. Some got saved down the road a few hundred years down the road they decided to bring in a little bit of Roman paganism mother and child worship. that’s where you guys get worshiping Mary from, a little bit of Judaism that’s where the priesthood comes and a tiny bit of Christianity and there you have the Catholic Church that is a church that Satan has made up. It is a false church.🤷♀️
He's right, how do you think the New Testament was assembled, Do you think if just fell out of the sky after Jesus ascended. There were many books considered. The Canon of scripture was determined by a Catholic council. That is historical fact and it can't be disputed.
This Man is amazingly gifted preacher. I Don’t don’t care how much someone studies the bible. To Preach like this is Gift of God✝️🌹
He is literally making fun of the wedding at Cana. He’s saying Jesus rebuked Mary. That Jesus told Mary you and I were done. This is the most blasphemous teaching I’ve heard in awhile. He will bust he’ll wide open for leading people astray. Have you read this story he’s talking about
They’re at a wedding and they run out of wine.
Mary ask Jesus to help them
Jesus says woman, it is not yet my time
Mary says to the servants go wherever he tells you to do
And then Jesus turns the water to wine. He did it. Mary asked and Jesus did it.
First, the Catholic Church does not teach that "you don't want to go to Jesus, you want to go to Mary." Either John MacArthur is ignorant of what the Catholic Church teaches, or he is flat out lying about what the Catholic Church teaches and he needs to repent. He is utterly deceptive in this video.
Jesus did not rebuke or respond by saying "none of your business." To suggest that Jesus would treat his mother in such a manner is to suggest that Jesus would violate one of the 10 commandments and dishonor his mother. Again, John MacArthur is deceptive and preying on people with such a statement.
The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary. The wedding at Cana certainly depicts Mary interceding on behalf of the wedding party, but to suggest is it where the teaching on Mary comes from is very naïve and deceptive.
John McArthur can't be that ignorant, or is it deception? ...Protestant and Catholic Biblical scholars have long identified Mary as the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 were God tells the devil that he will put enmity between you (the devil) and the "woman" (Mary) and between your offspring and her offspring; he (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. This is in fact the first gospel. Mary is the woman whose son will bruise (defeat) the devil. The wedding at Cana is Jesus' first public miracle as he commences his public ministry and refers to Mary as "woman," alluding to Genesis 3:15, as Jesus knew he would go onto fulfill Genesis 3:15 and defeat satan, so it is fitting that he would allude to Genesis 3:15 when he started his public ministry with the mission of defeating satan to redeem us all. Again, once he has defeated satan, he refers to Mary as "woman," has he has fulfilled Genesis 3:15. It is not a term of dishonor has John MacArthur would have you believe (violating the 5th commandment), it is a term of endearment and in fulfillment of God's will.
Jesus never said, "I don't do my mothers business." To suggest such a thing is an argument from silence and a logical fallacy. To suggest that after Jesus was found in the temple at age 12 that he never did his mother's business is blasphemy, and yes, a logical fallacy.
Mary is a created human. However, she is the mother of Jesus (God the son).
John MacArthur is clearly suggesting that Jesus violated the 5th commandment.
All family relationships are over? John MacArthur has lost all credibility...

Ohh really now, let's just see about that.
Roman Catholic Church:
"so no man GOETH to Christ but BY HIS MOTHER." (Vatican Website: Encyclical of Pope Leo 13th on the Rosary, Octobri Mense, Pope Leo 13th, 1903-1914)
Now who really is lying and being deceptive?
@@seanburlile6616 You wrote: "The wedding at Cana is NOT where the Catholic Church finds its teaching on Mary."
Ohh really now...isn't that where the Catholic Church finds its doctrines that "Mary intercedes" and "Jesus never refuses His mother"?
Let's look at Mary's "intercession" at the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-10) but first then, let's see what Jesus' will was:
"For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me." John 6:38
"At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. So He replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor." Luke 7:21-22
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10
Gee....Mary's only concern was running out of wine, a consumable beverage people could get drunk on!!
Sure looks like Mary wasn't on the same page as Jesus.
Now let's look at some real life changing intercessions:
- The royal official interceded for his sick son. (John 4:43-54)
- The Centurion interceded for his paralyzed/suffering servant. (Matthew 7:5-13)
- The men interceded for a paralytic. (Matthew 9:1-8)
- A ruler interceded for his dead daughter. (Matthew 9:18-26)
- A man interceded for his son who was demon possessed. (Matthew 17:14-19)
- Some people interceded for a deaf/mute man. (Mark 7:31-37)
- A woman interceded for her demon possessed daughter. (Mark 7:24-30)
So sean, next time you are at a wedding and they run out of wine, you be sure and let Mary know....okay!
And leave all the real life changing miracles for Jesus.
From the Bible, please list all the people Mary brought to Jesus that were sick, lame, dying, demon possessed, deaf/mute, paralyzed or needed saving....take all the time you need....I'll wait.
Mr MacArthurs faith started around the time of the printing press and written word, in quite a compact area of northern Europe. of a
But a "loving mother" now THAT is something the population could relate too. Hence Mother Mary and the dogma around her.
Jesus is God in human form. The X chromosome was given to Him by Mary, the Y by the Holy Spirit...the "God" portion of His body. Mary gave birth to the X AND Y parts of Jesus.
Mary gave birth to God.
One of the worsts takes Ive ever heard
John 2:3 never states that the servants ask Mary for anything. Why would they? How would some woman help them? The servants at that point didn't know Jesus was capable of any miracles as He hasn't preformed any miracles prior. Remember Jesus said "mine hour is not yet come." Most likely Mary merely overheard the conversation that there was no wine and was somewhat concerned enough to pass the info to Jesus.
Jesus lived a life committing no sin whatsoever. Surely that is a miracle, even though he hadn’t performed any individual miracles yet. Wouldn’t Mary and others that knew him, think at the very least that was remarkable?
So Mary overheard a servant's concern of a shortage of wine and Mary asked Jesus to handle the problem which also engaged his ministry works for me !
@@mikepuglise6874 If you read the verse Mary didn't ask for anything. But many Catholics miss that point.
@@mikepuglise6874 When you say "works for me" also means nowhere in history is where we can get the idea that Mary can somehow intercede for us to convince Jesus to answer our prayers. You are sayin it is unbiblical.
@@virtualzhbl You wrote: "If you read the verse Mary didn't ask for anything. But many Catholics miss that point."
Yup, and Catholics give more glory to Mary, than Jesus who is the One who performed the miracle!
i have 3 sisters ALL catholic, 2 in their 70's, 1 late 60's, have shared the Gospel with them, even in their catholic versions, they do NOT hear, they will swear up and down Mary never had other children, even when they see it in their own bibles
i have talked till blue in the face, can no longer talk scripture , i have planted, just hope someone waters and God reaps,
before it's to late for them
Could scripture be talking about Jesus' spiritual brothers and sisters in Christ? Remember he had many followers perhaps in the thousands.
I personally reference my Church friends as does the esteemed pastor here as my brothers and sisters.
@@mikepuglise6874 That explanation isn't supported by what the verses say, so no. And even if he were an only child, that's not evidence to support praying to Mary.
Show me a verse in the Bible actually naming the alleged other children of Mary. You will discover all the verses refer to the “brothers and sisters” of Jesus without saying they are also children of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This man deceives many with his personal interpretation of holy scripture.
I am with you brother, your testimony is identical to mine. They refuse to hear.
Love the Lord thy God with all your heart.
The first commandment if you get that wrong pray for repentance and mercy.
We dont worship the saints or Mary.
They had a purpose to give God Glory .
They have the same purpose as anyone today and that is to give God the glory he deserves as the king of kings and Lord of Lord.
The potter and his clay.
MacArthur really reads a lot into scripture. The term "woman" is used as a term of respect as it means that she is the woman of Genesis 3:15. It does not mean that He is distancing Himself from His mother for she is His mother for all eternity. We find this throughout Christian history to honor Mary as Jesus honored her.
there is no scripture that instructs us to honor mary.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Of course there is: Luke 1:48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;
How often do you refer to her as the Blessed Mother?
@Greg You wrote: "The term "woman" is used as a term of respect as it means that she is the woman of Genesis 3:15."
"Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, “ *Woman,* why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “ *Woman,* why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her." John 20:11-18
I guess then that would apply also to Mary Magdeline as the "woman of Genesis 3:15....ain't that right Greg!?!
And speaking of Genesis 3:15...
According to the Catholic Church, Mary "crushes" Satan in Genesis 3:15:
"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." (Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible)
Now look at Romans 16:20:
" *The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.* The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." (Same Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible and non-Catholic Bibles)
"Since the children have flesh and blood, *He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil* -" Hebrews 2:14
"The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. *The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.* " 1 John 3:8
So according to the Catholic Church who really crushes Satan: God/Jesus or Mary??
Oh....and by the way, there is no mention of Mary, nor is she anywhere to be found in Revelation 20 when Satan is finally cast into the lake of burning sulfur.....just saying!
Good luck with that contradiction!
@@GR65330 shes musing to HERSELF in that verse, its NOT an instruction to call her blessed! we are all blessed in one way or another. I would NEVER call her the blessed mother bc shes NOT my mother; and the TEN COMMANDMENTS makes it CLEAR NOT to pray to, worship or adore ANYONE except Jesus or God the Father.
@@Lauren-vd4qe She is proclaiming this in the Magnificant. She is not musing to herself. If you're Christian, then she is your mother by adoption in the same way that through adoption God the Father becomes our Father and through adoption Jesus becomes our brother. It's a family and if you do not want the Blessed Mother as your mother, you won't have Jesus as your brother.
Catholics do not worship the blessed mother....
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of John the Apostle lets see what he says?
he said this-
He who is Devout to the Virgin Mother will certainly never be lost.
Disclaimer. I’m not Catholic I’m just saying this is a very early church father saying Mary is someone we should be (devout) to.
I guess it can be argued what did he mean by devout?
𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨, A disciple of John the Apostle would never say "He who is Devout to the Virgin Mother will certainly never be lost." 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨? You just can't make stuff up. To take the prerogative of God such as was said by this so called St. Ignatius of Antioch by saying Mary has any part of anyone's salvation is considered blasphemous in scriptures.
No, 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 if this quote were true then St. Ignatius of Antioch would be a failed disciple of John the Apostle.
𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 St. Ignatius of Antioch if were a true disciple of John the Apostle would know that Mary is dead and therefore has no part in anyone's salvation.
"devoted" comes from the same root word The writings of Your St Ignatius of Antioch was not considered 'canonical' - even by the catholic's rendition of the Bible...
first he is correct bt saying that we shouldn't pray to mary because jesus said to pray to the father ... but ti say that jesus said to mary " none of you business " is disrespectful ... for the law that jesus fulfill say honor you father and mother ... why do men twist the scriptures ?
Catholics do not pray to Mary, they call her for help to be granted by the Lord.
The non-of-your-business is one of the first indications that he is the son of God.
Very similar to the finding of the 12 year old Jesus in the temple. There he responded: Did you not know that I have to be in the house of my Father?
To honor father and mother is the 4th commandment for mankind only.
@@stephanmariahitzel6102 how can you ask for help if she is dead and no one except for jesus has risen ... the rest of the people who believe in the words that jesus said then believe in god the father of our lord jesus christ will be risen in the last trump ... (1Cor 15:52 [KJV])
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
@@stephanmariahitzel6102 and btw " The non-of-your-business " is disrespectful ... and it show what fruit he has in his heart ... (Luke 6:45 [KJV])
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
This message only works if you ignore a lot of Scripture and the teachings of the early Church as well. John can say it, but it doesn’t change the Word of God.
Another thing about the wine incident….after Mary speaks to Jesus, she tells the servants to go to Jesus themselves and “do what He tells you”.
When my dear Catholic aunt once told me that she prays to Mary because God is so busy and “Mary is everything to me”. It broke my heart. I asked her if she believed all the times in the Bible when God said “Come to ME”, do not worship another. Is prayer worship? How does that line up? I also asked her, if you needed a plumber, would you call his mother? It was apparent she had not read the full Bible, and insisted she had to believe the Church too, because of course they wouldn’t lie. And then I had issue with Christ’s statements about repetitive prayer and the heathens, and the rosary with its 10 to one ratio of hail Marys and Our Fathers……

"The universal motherhood of Mary, the 'Woman' of the wedding at Cana and of Calvary, recalls Eve, 'mother of all living' (Gn 3:20).

Ever consider the fact that The catholics along with the Holy Spirit gave you your Bible?
I'll take their interpretation over yours and this heretic of a pastor any day
I'm suprised he doesn't know the Catholic teaching on why Jesus called Mary Woman. He seems to have a good sense of other Catholic teachings but doesn't know this one, it actually might be just as important as the teaching on the wedding at Cannan. In Catholic teaching Mary is the ark of the new covenant and the new Eve. Jesus is addressing her with the same title given to Eve, woman.
Often times unfortunately, protestants have a partial and incomplete understating of catholicism. I have been raised a Catholic, then I have been reading a lot about protestantism, orthodoxy and I am slowly coming back to catholicism.
@@JeanV1986 i do not recommend it! It is a false illegitimate church. Remember what Jesus said: you must be born-again. *to make it to heaven.

Even the roman Catholic church likes money and they are second richest church in the world.
You are saved by the finished work of Christ on the cross who died for all of your sins . Unlike Tobit 12:8 Prayer with fasting is good. Almsgiving with righteousness is better than wealth with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold, 9 for almsgiving saves from death, and purges all sin. Jesus is who we have faith in not the words of Tobit !
Calling Mary “Mother of God” states a truth that must be stated in order to protect an essential truth about Christ. Tell me, how much Christ Centric could I be? Tell me! Btw, "None your business" , REALLY?! If I did this yo my mom , or my grandma they would slap me very hard, FOR GOOD! And God knows how rebellious was my past, because NEVER meant to be rude, just a common use among jews, especially in public, because Jesus never sinned!

Protestants accuse us of "idolatry" , i.e. , worshiping a made -of - stone statue, when actually most of them, especifically McArthur, have a made -of stone heart...The living God was made flesh, but apparently to some people, he cant feel, he cant love... Why McArthur doesnt mention the miracle at the wedding of Canaa, done by a request from his mother? Ir The prophecy of Simenon in Luke 2:35....es, according to him "she is nothing" , she just gave birth the "I Am" ( John 18:6), she nurtured, raised him, loved him, and accompannied him to the Golgota!

@@danielpitti896 Now at some point you grew up and you were no longer under your parents control. Jesus grew up and was a man no longer under His parents control.

The RCC claims Mary as intercessor from this point on!
according to him "she is nothing" , she just gave birth the "I Am" ( John 18:6), she nurtured, raised him, loved him, and accompanied him to the Golgotha
!
She did not give birth to the" I Am" she gave birth to her son Jesus who did not become God at that point as He always existed.
Nice to see you disagreeing with John but make sure that you do not use the word HATE as this is nothing to do with hate for Mary or hate for Catholics this has more to do with pointing out what is wrong that the Catholics do not know about.
This video doesn’t even follow the scripture
The Wedding at Cana
2 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.[a] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers[b] and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
You speak of obedience. Where did Mary obstruct him? Why do you hate Mary? Catholics? The Bible was bound together by catholic theologians. Why would they bound such works if it cionflicts with their faith?
Catholics treat Mary as though she is part of the Trinity and praying to Mary is idolatry of the worst kind.
She is a very important figure in Christianity but she is not divine, nor is she to act as mediator between God and man.
The logic of your argument is not only logically inconsistent with Biblical truth but heretical, rationally unsound and theologically incoherent.
Our Lord Jesus was never at any time done with his mother. He loved her, honoured her even as she remained both his mother and a faithful disciple to the very end. In John 19, Jesus clearly asked the Apostle John to behold his mother, and vice versa, and from that Mother, the two most faithful disciples of our Lord (Mary & John, they were faithful to the very end of our Lord's life and ministry) And Jesus understood hos Blessed Mother's role and accorded her the recognition and honour she rightfully deserves (Remember God filled her with the FULLNESS OF GRACE).
She remains the only woman who fulfilled through her obedience what the first Eve couldn't by her disobedience.
Your teaching is not only shallow and filled with bile against the Church, it also contradicts God's plan as revealed in the Scriptures. One needs not listen to you for upto a minute to clearly see your inconsistencies, and that unhidden hatred bent on attacking the Catholic Church. Well, Jesus's use of 'woman' to refer to Mary was well in order and clearly identifies Mary with the new Eve, the prophetic woman of Genesis 3 of whom God promised to put enmity between her and the devil. Your attack against the Catholic Church reveals your anger towards and hatred for the Truth.
@Padrecally🎯
One only need to study the Bible to see the deception and lies of the CC.
It's funny that you only look out to the Bible to validate your hatred of the Church. Unfortunately, you won't find any. You only find clear validation of Mary the Mother of God. Read the Scriptures with openness, and you will not be laid astray. Pray for Divine enlightening.
@@Padrecally Since There is no higher authority than God's word it is what we as Christians must look towards. Man's word is useless unless it conforms to God's word. However the CC prefers to pay head to man's word above and before God's word. Mary was never "Full of Grace". She was highly favored. Try reading this in Greek for a change. Mary was also the mother of Jesus who was like God. There is a difference. Lastly, The CC elevates Mary above what God did. Yes, she was a Godly person and we all could learn from he faithfulness. That does not make her sinless, assumed, or have anything to do with salvation as the CC states. All of that is man's opinion, not God's word.
God spoke through men and continues to do so in our times. Your hatred of the Catholic Church doesn't stop her from continuing her mission to evangelize the ends of the earth. No amount of hate can stop the Church. Our Lord Jesus mandated us to go to the ends of the earth with the assurance that he is with the Church till the end of time. So, keep hating, and the Church keeps its Divine mandate.
“Woman” is referring to genesis she is the woman clothed with the sun. The one who will crush the head of the serpent !!
Yes!
Jesus is exalting her by calling her woman
He would not commit a sin and disrespect his mother. We can't forget the commandment respect thy father and thy mother
As a protestant myself, this video is troubling. Mary clearly gave birth to God. She’s not just another woman
