Along with of the early Protestant Founders accepted the truth of the perpetual virginity of Mary. How could this be, if it is merely “tradition” with no scriptural basis? Why was its supposed violation of Scripture not so obvious to them, as it is to the Protestants of the last 150 years or so (since the onset of theological liberalism) who have ditched this previously held opinion? Yet it has become fashionable to believe that Jesus had blood brothers (I suspect, because this contradicts Catholic teaching), contrary to the original consensus of the early Protestants. Let’s see what the founders of Protestantism taught about this doctrine. If Catholics are so entrenched in what has been described as “silly,” “desperate,” “obviously false,” “unbiblical tradition” here, then so are many Protestant luminaries such as Luther, Calvin, and Wesley. Strangely enough, however, current-day Protestant critics of Catholicism rarely aim criticism at them. I guess the same “errors” are egregious to a different degree, depending on who accepts and promulgates them - sort of like the Orwellian proverb from Animal Farm: “all people are equal, but some are more equal than others.” Courtesy of Dave Armstrong.
Mary was formally separated from Protestant worship and prayer in the 16th century; in the 20th century the divorce is complete. Even the singing of the ‘Magnificat’ caused the Puritans to have scruples, and if they gave up the Apostles’ Creed, it was not only because of the offensive adjective ‘Catholic’, but also because of the mention of the Virgin . . . [But] Calvin, like Luther and Zwingli, taught the perpetual virginity of Mary. The early Reformers even applied, though with some reticence, the title Theotokos to Mary . . . Calvin called on his followers to venerate and praise her as the teacher who instructs them in her Son’s commands. (J. A. Ross MacKenzie [Protestant], in Stacpoole, Alberic, editor, Mary’s Place in Christian Dialogue, Wilton, Connecticut.: Morehouse-Barlow, 1982, 35-36)
Martin Luther Christ, our Savior, was the real and natural fruit of Mary’s virginal womb . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that. (Luther’s Works, editors. Jaroslav Pelikan [vols. 1-30] & Helmut T. Lehmann [vols. 31-55], St. Louis: Concordia Pub. House [vols. 1-30]; Philadelphia: Fortress Press [vols. 31-55]), 1955, vol. 22:23 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 [1539] ) Christ . . . was the only Son of Mary, and the Virgin Mary bore no children besides Him . . . I am inclined to agree with those who declare that ‘brothers’ really mean ‘cousins’ here, for Holy Writ and the Jews always call cousins brothers. (Pelikan, ibid., vol. 22:214-215 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 [1539] ) A new lie about me is being circulated. I am supposed to have preached and written that Mary, the mother of God, was not a virgin either before or after the birth of Christ . . . (Pelikan, ibid.,vol. 45:199 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew [1523] ) Scripture does not say or indicate that she later lost her virginity . . . When Matthew [1:25] says that Joseph did not know Mary carnally until she had brought forth her son, it does not follow that he knew her subsequently; on the contrary, it means that he never did know her . . . This babble . . . is without justification . . . he has neither noticed nor paid any attention to either Scripture or the common idiom. (Pelikan, ibid., vol. 45:206, 212-213 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew [1523] )

while she was blessed and should be respected, there is zero in the Bible we pray to or ask intercession from her or any other than God. she is actually dead now. and when a system (catholicism) gets away from basics, false worship follows. catholicism hates Jesus Christ -- John 14:15 is clear about this.

The actual Greek word "Kecharitomene" in Luke 1:28 is leagues leagues above in meaning, than the protestant translation of "greetings, highly favored" "Kecharitomene" is actually a title. The title denotes that in the past, and in the present and in the future, Mary is found in a state of grace. The event of Grace being conferred on mere humans, to make them participate directly with God, through the mode of flesh and blood and DNA, begins with Mary. "Highly favored" is the lousiest, inept, dumbest translation ever, as it does not convey the higher qualitative rank and category of Mary's unique degree and state of grace. "Highly favored" conveys the lower, mechanical, calendar, chronos sense of time. Makes it appear that Mary was being favored for a few woman tasks/things that women do on earth - conception, birthing, care-taking. No wonder Protestants think when Jesus left home to begin his earthly ministry, that he "dismissed" and "shut down" Mary when he called her "woman". Mac Arthur alleges that Jesus ended his relationship with Mary, when at Calvary he entrusted her to John". Really ? That's eisegesis, projecting one own measly disdain for Mary, into the text. Sorry Protestants, for all your hype about "Grace alone" as one of your solas, you guys don't have a clue, because you keep focussing endlessly on how grace applies to your own little selves.
Catholics WORSHIP GOD and we HONOUR MARY & it is right to do so. Luke 1:48 All generations will call her blessed. Protestantism is a scam that has nothing to do with Jesus.

Verse 4 is not addressed to “all” of mankind. Romans 9:18-25 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. 19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?” 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God?

How about Acts 13:48?
Please see Matthew 12:46 thru 12:49, "While He (the He is Jesus) was still talking to the multitudes, behold His mother and brothers stood outside seeking to speak with Him! Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside seeking to speak with You!" But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and brothers?!" And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and brothers?! For WHOEVER does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother, and sister and mother!" See also Luke 8:19 thru 8:21! See also Acts 1:12 thru 1:14, where in Acts 1:14 it says, these all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS, AND WITH HIS BRETHREN (the 4 brothers of Jesus which see Matthew 13:54 thru 13:57)! Think! What was Mary doing in the Upper Room with the other sinners waiting to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit if she herself was the Holy Immaculate Conception?! Please see Acts 2:1 thru 2:4 also!
@jayonnaj18 You have not understood this in its right concept. My mother and brother are those who listen to Him and do His will. Who first understood this and accepted the will of the Father if not Mary. Jesus simply confirmed to them that Mary is indeed His mother and He confirmed this by going away with her. Learn the Gospel from catholic magisterial because they have the key to the Holy spirit.
@visiaplum5.. Truth hurting, pagan? Your "Mary" is not the Bible Mary! Your Mary is a devil who loves your worship and is leading you away from Jesus, straight to Hell!!! Repent!
All true Catholics do. And true Catholics are ultramontane according to the church. Are you? You don't speak for Catholics the popes do that. Your role as a Catholic is to obey and check your brain at the door.
Actually not so. All true Catholics do venerate (worship) Mary. And it’s man made. We have only One Mediator and that is Christ Jesus. Why is this so hard to accept. It’s the very word of God.
Not a true Catholic if you don't worship your lady goddess! Rome has never in her history been without a mother goddess! Now they call her Mary so Suckers like you would be easier to snare into their Satanic counterfeit, "Church!"
Your hateful and false preaching is not that of a Godly man. The role of the Blessed Mother in Salvation History is written in Genesis. She has zero to do with any pagan goddess.
Genesis is a prophecy about Jesus. Not Mary. Jesus crushed the serpents head he was the seed of the woman. This second eve stuff is not in the Bible at all.
The phrase queen of heaven appears in two passages of the Bible, both in the book of Jeremiah. The first passage deals with the things the Israelites were doing that provoked the Lord to anger. Entire families were involved in idolatry. The children gathered wood, and the men used it to build altars to worship false gods. The women were engaged in kneading dough and baking cakes of bread for the “Queen of Heaven” (Jeremiah 7:18). This title referred to Ishtar, an Assyrian and Babylonian goddess also called Ashtoreth and Astarte by various other groups. She was thought to be the wife of the false god Baal, also known as Molech. The motivation of women to worship Ashtoreth stemmed from her reputation as a fertility goddess, and, as the bearing of children was greatly desired among women of that era, worship of this “queen of heaven” was rampant among pagan civilizations. Sadly, it became popular among the Israelites as well. The second passage that refers to the queen of heaven is Jeremiah 44:17-25, where Jeremiah is giving the people the word of the Lord which God has spoken to him. He reminds the people that their disobedience and idolatry has caused the Lord to be very angry with them and to punish them with calamity. Jeremiah warns them that greater punishments await if they do not repent. They reply that they have no intentions of giving up their worship of idols, promising to continue pouring out drink offerings to the queen of heaven, Ashtoreth, and even going so far as to credit her with the peace and prosperity they once enjoyed because of God’s grace and mercy. It is unclear where the idea that Ashtoreth was a “consort” of Yahweh originated, but it’s easy to see how the blending of paganism that exalts a goddess with the worship of the true King of heaven, Yahweh, can lead to the combining of God and Ashtoreth. And since Ashtoreth worship involved sexuality (fertility rites and temple prostitution), the resulting relationship, to the depraved mind, would naturally be one of a sexual nature. Clearly, the idea of the “queen of heaven” as the consort or paramour of the King of heaven is idolatrous and unbiblical. There is no queen of heaven. There has never been a queen of heaven. There is most certainly a King of Heaven, the Lord of hosts. He alone rules in heaven. He does not share His rule or His throne or His authority with anyone. The idea that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the queen of heaven has no scriptural basis whatsoever. Instead, the idea of Mary as the queen of heaven stems from proclamations of priests and popes of the Roman Catholic Church. While Mary was certainly a godly young woman greatly blessed in that she was chosen to bear the Savior of the world, she was not in any way divine, nor was she sinless, nor is she to be worshiped, revered, venerated, or prayed to. All followers of the Lord God refuse to be worshiped. Peter and the apostles refused to be worshiped (Acts 10:25-26; 14:13-14). The holy angels refuse to be worshiped (Revelation 19:10; 22:9). The response is always the same: “Worship God!” To offer worship, reverence, or veneration to anyone but God is nothing short of idolatry. Mary’s own words in her “Magnificat” (Luke 1:46-55) reveal that she never thought of herself as “immaculate” or deserving of veneration; on the contrary, she was relying on the grace of God for salvation: “And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” Only sinners need a savior, and Mary recognized that need in herself. Furthermore, Jesus Himself issued a mild rebuke to a woman who cried out to Him, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you" (Luke 11:27), replying to her, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." By doing so, He curtailed any tendency to elevate Mary as an object of worship. He could certainly have said, “Yes, blessed be the Queen of Heaven!” But He did not. He was affirming the same truth that the Bible affirms-there is no queen of heaven, and the only biblical references to the “queen of heaven” refer to the goddess of an idolatrous, false religion.
It is already Catholic Teaching not to Worship Mary. Also worship is always liturgical biblically speaking, and involves a Sacrifice. You’re not worshiping God with your hands in the air singing Hillsong. That is called veneration. If a Catholic worshiped Mary and didn’t repent, they would be excommunicated from the Church for…you guessed it-IDOLATRY! Mary is not Divine or a Goddess & can’t save our souls-But she is Holy, She can pray TO JESUS FOR US & She is the Ark of the New Covenant. “All generations shall call me blessed”. Protestantism doesn’t fulfill this prophecy.
CCC #2679 Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope. Yet, Catholics insist they do not pray to Mary!!!
She did remain a virgin. Joseph was a widower old man. They were related in lineage. They picked widowers, someone who would not be interested in starting a new family. Not someone who wanted a new family. He had no interest because she was 13 and he already had children. This makes me have issue with you now. Jesus Christ brothers are from Joseph first wife. He was a widower. They were all older then Jesus Christ. That would make them cousins too.
Jesus nor any of the apostles ever taught mary holiness, permanent virginity, queen of heaven garbage, etc Jesus had brothers and sisters. The greek word for sisters is female blood sisters. So they were Mary's daughters. If John's daughters, it would have said female kin or cousins. You are believing lies. None of the nonsense u mentioned is taught by the bible.

Why was its supposed violation of Scripture not so obvious to them, as it is to the Protestants of the last 150 years or so (since the onset of theological liberalism) who have ditched this previously held opinion? Yet it has become fashionable to believe that Jesus had blood brothers (I suspect, because this contradicts Catholic teaching), contrary to the original consensus of the early Protestants.
Let’s see what the founders of Protestantism taught about this doctrine. If Catholics are so entrenched in what has been described as “silly,” “desperate,” “obviously false,” “unbiblical tradition” here, then so are many Protestant luminaries such as Luther, Calvin, and Wesley. Strangely enough, however, current-day Protestant critics of Catholicism rarely aim criticism at them. I guess the same “errors” are egregious to a different degree, depending on who accepts and promulgates them - sort of like the Orwellian proverb from Animal Farm: “all people are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

Mary was formally separated from Protestant worship and prayer in the 16th century; in the 20th century the divorce is complete. Even the singing of the ‘Magnificat’ caused the Puritans to have scruples, and if they gave up the Apostles’ Creed, it was not only because of the offensive adjective ‘Catholic’, but also because of the mention of the Virgin . . . [But] Calvin, like Luther and Zwingli, taught the perpetual virginity of Mary. The early Reformers even applied, though with some reticence, the title Theotokos to Mary . . . Calvin called on his followers to venerate and praise her as the teacher who instructs them in her Son’s commands. (J. A. Ross MacKenzie [Protestant], in Stacpoole, Alberic, editor, Mary’s Place in Christian Dialogue, Wilton, Connecticut.: Morehouse-Barlow, 1982, 35-36)
Martin Luther
Christ, our Savior, was the real and natural fruit of Mary’s virginal womb . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that. (Luther’s Works, editors. Jaroslav Pelikan [vols. 1-30] & Helmut T. Lehmann [vols. 31-55], St. Louis: Concordia Pub. House [vols. 1-30]; Philadelphia: Fortress Press [vols. 31-55]), 1955, vol. 22:23 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 [1539] )
Christ . . . was the only Son of Mary, and the Virgin Mary bore no children besides Him . . . I am inclined to agree with those who declare that ‘brothers’ really mean ‘cousins’ here, for Holy Writ and the Jews always call cousins brothers. (Pelikan, ibid., vol. 22:214-215 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 [1539] )
A new lie about me is being circulated. I am supposed to have preached and written that Mary, the mother of God, was not a virgin either before or after the birth of Christ . . . (Pelikan, ibid.,vol. 45:199 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew [1523] )
Scripture does not say or indicate that she later lost her virginity . . .
When Matthew [1:25] says that Joseph did not know Mary carnally until she had brought forth her son, it does not follow that he knew her subsequently; on the contrary, it means that he never did know her . . . This babble . . . is without justification . . . he has neither noticed nor paid any attention to either Scripture or the common idiom. (Pelikan, ibid., vol. 45:206, 212-213 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew [1523] )

HONORING MARY IN THE BIBLE: ....LUKE 1:24-48 God chose Mary. She is "blessed among women" and "All generations will call her blessed" John 1 At the wedding of cana she intercedes for the wedding party. The first century church honored Mary. (Protestantism has nothing to do with the first century church, it was started by Luther, a man in 1517 and never recieved authority from Jesus.
while she was blessed and should be respected, there is zero in the Bible we pray to or ask intercession from her or any other than God. she is actually dead now. and when a system (catholicism) gets away from basics, false worship follows. catholicism hates Jesus Christ -- John 14:15 is clear about this.
@@tony1685 counterpoint. There is nothing in the bible which forbidss us speaking to her, or asking 4 her intercession. Writings from the first century church validates the practice of asking for the intercession of Mary & the saints as well as pother catholic teachings.

The actual Greek word "Kecharitomene" in Luke 1:28 is leagues leagues above in meaning, than the protestant translation of "greetings, highly favored"
"Kecharitomene" is actually a title. The title denotes that in the past, and in the present and in the future, Mary is found in a state of grace.
The event of Grace being conferred on mere humans, to make them participate directly with God, through the mode of flesh and blood and DNA, begins with Mary.
"Highly favored" is the lousiest, inept, dumbest translation ever, as it does not convey the higher qualitative rank and category of Mary's unique degree and state of grace.
"Highly favored" conveys the lower, mechanical, calendar, chronos sense of time. Makes it appear that Mary was being favored for a few woman tasks/things that women do on earth - conception, birthing, care-taking.
No wonder Protestants think when Jesus left home to begin his earthly ministry, that he "dismissed" and "shut down" Mary when he called her "woman".
Mac Arthur alleges that Jesus ended his relationship with Mary, when at Calvary he entrusted her to John". Really ? That's eisegesis, projecting one own measly disdain for Mary, into the text.
Sorry Protestants, for all your hype about "Grace alone" as one of your solas, you guys don't have a clue, because you keep focussing endlessly on how grace applies to your own little selves.

It was started in 1517 by men like Luther for the purpose of opposing the Catholic church. I am grateful to Mary for bringing Jesus into our world for us.

Mary deserves no more exaltation than what Jesus and the apostles gave her
The phrase queen of heaven appears in two passages of the Bible, both in the book of Jeremiah. The first passage deals with the things the Israelites were doing that provoked the Lord to anger. Entire families were involved in idolatry. The children gathered wood, and the men used it to build altars to worship false gods. The women were engaged in kneading dough and baking cakes of bread for the “Queen of Heaven” (Jeremiah 7:18). This title referred to Ishtar, an Assyrian and Babylonian goddess also called Ashtoreth and Astarte by various other groups. She was thought to be the wife of the false god Baal, also known as Molech. The motivation of women to worship Ashtoreth stemmed from her reputation as a fertility goddess, and, as the bearing of children was greatly desired among women of that era, worship of this “queen of heaven” was rampant among pagan civilizations. Sadly, it became popular among the Israelites as well.
The second passage that refers to the queen of heaven is Jeremiah 44:17-25, where Jeremiah is giving the people the word of the Lord which God has spoken to him. He reminds the people that their disobedience and idolatry has caused the Lord to be very angry with them and to punish them with calamity. Jeremiah warns them that greater punishments await if they do not repent. They reply that they have no intentions of giving up their worship of idols, promising to continue pouring out drink offerings to the queen of heaven, Ashtoreth, and even going so far as to credit her with the peace and prosperity they once enjoyed because of God’s grace and mercy.
It is unclear where the idea that Ashtoreth was a “consort” of Yahweh originated, but it’s easy to see how the blending of paganism that exalts a goddess with the worship of the true King of heaven, Yahweh, can lead to the combining of God and Ashtoreth. And since Ashtoreth worship involved sexuality (fertility rites and temple prostitution), the resulting relationship, to the depraved mind, would naturally be one of a sexual nature. Clearly, the idea of the “queen of heaven” as the consort or paramour of the King of heaven is idolatrous and unbiblical.
There is no queen of heaven. There has never been a queen of heaven. There is most certainly a King of Heaven, the Lord of hosts. He alone rules in heaven. He does not share His rule or His throne or His authority with anyone. The idea that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the queen of heaven has no scriptural basis whatsoever. Instead, the idea of Mary as the queen of heaven stems from proclamations of priests and popes of the Roman Catholic Church. While Mary was certainly a godly young woman greatly blessed in that she was chosen to bear the Savior of the world, she was not in any way divine, nor was she sinless, nor is she to be worshiped, revered, venerated, or prayed to. All followers of the Lord God refuse to be worshiped. Peter and the apostles refused to be worshiped (Acts 10:25-26; 14:13-14). The holy angels refuse to be worshiped (Revelation 19:10; 22:9). The response is always the same: “Worship God!” To offer worship, reverence, or veneration to anyone but God is nothing short of idolatry. Mary’s own words in her “Magnificat” (Luke 1:46-55) reveal that she never thought of herself as “immaculate” or deserving of veneration; on the contrary, she was relying on the grace of God for salvation: “And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” Only sinners need a savior, and Mary recognized that need in herself.
Furthermore, Jesus Himself issued a mild rebuke to a woman who cried out to Him, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you" (Luke 11:27), replying to her, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." By doing so, He curtailed any tendency to elevate Mary as an object of worship. He could certainly have said, “Yes, blessed be the Queen of Heaven!” But He did not. He was affirming the same truth that the Bible affirms-there is no queen of heaven, and the only biblical references to the “queen of heaven” refer to the goddess of an idolatrous, false religion.

CCC #2679 Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope.
Yet, Catholics insist they do not pray to Mary!!!
Trevor you are so wrong, you are being deceived and you don’t even know it so sad
She did remain a virgin. Joseph was a widower old man. They were related in lineage. They picked widowers, someone who would not be interested in starting a new family. Not someone who wanted a new family. He had no interest because she was 13 and he already had children. This makes me have issue with you now. Jesus Christ brothers are from Joseph first wife. He was a widower. They were all older then Jesus Christ. That would make them cousins too.
Jesus nor any of the apostles ever taught mary holiness, permanent virginity, queen of heaven garbage, etc
Jesus had brothers and sisters. The greek word for sisters is female blood sisters. So they were Mary's daughters. If John's daughters, it would have said female kin or cousins.
