MARY’S COMMAND
In the gospel of St. John, we read of the marriage feast at Cana. Here Mary emphasises the importance of Jesus, her son, and the words that He speaks.
Realising that the wine was gone, and that she herself could not do anything, she tells Jesus, the only One who could do something. Mary then gives the servants A COMMAND, one that we all should consider. “His mother saith unto the servants, WHATSOEVER HE SAITH UNTO YOU, DO IT.” JOHN 2:5
This is the only recording in the Bible where Mary gives a command, so most certainly all Roman Catholics should take heed to her words… ”WHATSOEVER HE SAITH UNTO YOU, DO IT.”
Since the goal of all good Roman Catholics is to get to heaven, let us look in the Bible and do what Mary said we should do; see what Jesus says and do it.

JESUS SAYS… He is the ONLY One that can be your Saviour. “saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” JOHN 14:6

HE DID NOT SAY … to trust in saints, the pope, or even His mother, Mary, to save you. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” ACTS 4:12

JESUS SAYS…FAITH IN HIM is the only kind that can save you. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” JOHN 3:36

HE DID NOT SAY … special sacrifices or good works were needed to help save you. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” ROMANS 4:5

JESUS SAYS … EVERLASTING life is the only kind He gives, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” JOHN 5:24

HE DID NOT SAY … it was probationary life which depended on our keeping it or we’d lose it. “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” JOHN 10:28

JESUS SAYS … GOD’S words are the only authority to follow. “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” JOHN 12:48

HE DID NOT SAY … traditions or the commandments of men were HIS words. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ” “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” MARK 7:7&13

Friend, you can RIGHT NOW be saved and know that you have ETERNAL life, if you will put “complete” faith in Jesus Christ and stop relying on yourself, church, sacraments, or anything else to save or help save you. Jesus is the Saviour. Do you believe He can save you, or don’t you? “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” 1 JOHN 5:13
The very moment you COMPLETELY TRUST Jesus Christ as YOUR Saviour and Lord … THAT VERY MOMENT … you are saved FOREVER (if you don't toy with/remain in sin)!

Nowadays what we have is great swelling words of doctrinal errors coming from altars across the globe.

The problem we have is that most people don't study the bible for themselves with the help of the Holy Spirit.

This is can only be your advice to Catholics and not Mary's advice as your post shows that you know very little about Catholicism unlike our blessed mother.

No offense Bro, but is knowing about Catholicism supposed to matter in the salvation of any soul?

God's standard and salvation is in Christ Jesus and His word. Any soul that disobeys the words of Jesus Christ would be judged by it in the last day; it is written in the scripture as clear as day!

John 12:48

There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and
does not receive My words: The word that I have
spoken will judge him on the last day.

The OP tells us to obey Jesus...

Then he tells us to disregard Church, Sacraments, Church leaders instituted by Jesus. He tells us to disregard the mother given to us by Jesus.

All these mushroom confused people sef...

It was Mary who said you should obey Jesus and not the OP.

May God continue to bless u OP.

This is epic, after reading this OP will anyone still wonder why Catholics love and cherish Mary more than any creature?

This a woman that understood Jesus more than anybody. Before the disciples even had an iota of knowledge of whom Jesus is, she had already said 'Do whatever, He tells you'

Before people even knew there was a saviour she had already said 'My soul rejoices in the Lord my Saviour'

How then could she lead me astray, when she didn't lead the disciples astray.

How loving of Jesus to hand us over to her care on the cross of calvary.

Thank you Lord for the gift of a wonderful mother for your church.

We will never leave you mummy, your God shall be our God. We will never disobey u, whatever He says we shall do.

No sir,
knowing about Catholicism does not matter in uour salvation but it matters in judging Catholics.

You cannot judge based on what you don't know about. Clearly the word of God is the judge, and not DoubleDeeX.

Thanks as you continue to work your salvation in fear and trembling and not in judging.

Did mary also Mary also say we should disregard the Church, Sacraments, Church leaders instituted by Jesus? I don't think so . The OP did

And it is Mary who asked us to disregard Jesus' sacraments, Church leaders, Mother etc abi?

The word is the judge, did I add anything to it or say anything contrary to what it says in my previous post? Was it not the word I quoted? And if the word is the judge and what you are defending is contrary and not according to the word, then wouldn't it mean that you are making yourself the judge?

Any Church doctrine that is not Biblical should be discarded, that's my point! I'm not condemning you but only trying to point out what the word of God says;

Galatians 1:8-9

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a divine curse! As we have said before, even now I say again: If anyone is preaching a gospel to you contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

^^^

A curse has been laid upon any man and also any angel that will preach/teach anything contrary to the foundation the early Apostles laid. Which means the spirit of God gave them the same message all through. Mind you Apostle Paul wasn't with Peter and the rest of the Apostles when he was arrested by Jesus Christ, yet, his teachings never contradicted or went contrary to what the rest were teaching!

So I think the best thing for any true follower of Jesus Christ in this age of confusion is to go back to the old message written by the Apostles and leave Church doctrines out of the equation; besides what matters in the end is our salvation which has nothing to do with Church doctrines!

I pray Jesus Christ open your eyes of understanding to see the truth in what I'm trying to put accross!

Shalom!

Then how can you use your interpretation of the Bible to challenge what the Church teaches...when the bible already told you where truth is - The Church?

Do you know better than the bible?

The entire Household of God put together is the pilar and foundation of truth! It's built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus Christ Himself as the Head and Chief cornerstone! It has nothing to do with any denominational Church anywhere.

Ephesians 2:19-20

Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens of the saints and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Timothy 3:15

But if I should delay, so that you may know how it
behooves one to conduct oneself in the household of
God, which is the church of the living God, the
pillar and base of the truth

The early Apostles never had denominations; they preached the same message, by the same spirit, which is what we read in the Bible today! Anything contary their epistles, the words of Jesus Christ and that of the Prophets of old is a denominational error and doctrine of men. That is why I stick only to their letters which makes majority of the Bible's NT...

I don't like running in circles; I believe in personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that I have found already....I know the truth and I'm free and confident of the path I'm following. So I'm not here to win an argument but to pass a message of truth to other viewers who are willing to learn!

Whatever works for you Mr. Italo; afterall salvation is a personal thing. I pray you make the rapture.

Shalom!

1. So where is the Church that is the pillar and foundation of truth? It vanished? Does it also teach error? And who told you the Rosary is error? The Trinity told you that?

2. Then how can you say with certainty that the Rosary is an error when Jesus taught me that. Why are you here taking their place and judging right and wrong interpretation?

3. But that is exactly what happened in 382AD under Pope Damascus in the Synod of Rome. The Catholic Church chose the books to be in the Bible and the books not to be in the Bible out of the many books that were in circulation.

4. Please just answer, so that we can arrive at the truth. When Luther removed 7 books, did he change the Bible?

Amen

What you are trying to put across is based on assumptions. You are assuming that the church doctrines are not biblical but you are wrong. ALL Catholic Church Doctrines are CLEARLY expressed in the Bible.

Last two years, I would have been misled by your gymnastics with scriptures quoted out of context, But Glory to Jesus that I have searched for the truth myself and I am standing on a solid foundation with Bible and Pillar of truth supporting me.

Thanks for trying. But try to find out what the church is doing before judging. Don't Assume.

5. Jesus. Now can you tell me who told you that if the Church teaches something not aligned with the bible, it's error? It's okay if you say nobody told you.

6. So if the Church teach error, it's bible writings probably contain error. No?

7&8. Are you saying the Holy Spirit is still inspiring men to write scriptures apart from the books of the Bible? Mention one of these books, please?
