HopeAlive14: Its good you know that He could not have contradicted the Holy spirit. It's good you know the Holy Spirit Inspired those words I quoted. What is left for you is to find out what Jesus was teaching, He is a great teacher you know? Don't just say things that suggest that Jesus contradicted the Holy Spirit, just because you want to win an argument. Remember even atheists are reading this. |

italo:I have told you that I don't want to go into history or theology. Does the bible you have tell you about God and what you need to do to inherit the kingdom of God? The conclusion of the whole matter is 'Fear God and keep His commands'. When you quote a passage, is it not from the one in your possession that you make reference to? I am not here to argue who compiled the bible as long as what is written there tells us how to live godly lives and make heaven at last. Or will knowing who compiled the bible make people more or less being christians? But p/s I will like to know who compiled the bible. 1 Like 1 Share |

italo:Kindly show us where this is in the Bible. This is not Mary but the Bride of Christ, the Church, in prophecy. Proof? see Psalm 45:10,11 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; 11 so shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord ; and worship thou him. The reference is to the called out ones who have surrendered to the Lordship of Christ! Revelations 19:7,8 explains further 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. This was a symbol of Israel hence the twelve stars on the crown are the 12 tribes. Revelations makes use of symbols just like Jesus is called the Lamb with Seven Horns (symbolizing perfection of Strength) etc Israel, being the nation through which the Messiah will come has been under intense attack from the dragon (satan). See Revelations 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Note that it did not say she flew to[b] heaven but to the wilderness[/b]! During the great tribulation, the israelites will flee to the wilderness and the period mentioned is given 3.5 years! [/quote] It is also written that Mary stands at the right of Jesus...and she is queen in heaven.[/quote] This is not found in the scripture! 1 Like |

Scholar8200: keep denying truth. It is You that quoted Lk 11:27,28 "Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and [l]to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked! But He said, Blessed (happy and [m]to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it! What the woman did was call her blessed and You claimed Jesus corrected this woman from exalting Mary. Now I have shown you why you are wrong with several scriptural backing in the post you quoted, Lk1:42,45,48, where the Holy Spirit through different media has said she is and is to be called blessed. Now you are explaining what calling her blessed mean, are you not arguing with yourself? I told you to Think, now am going to add harden not your heart. |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by dolphinheart(m): 9:15am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Statements made so far Mary, mother of God. Mary , child of God . Mary, queen in heaven Mary , bride in heaven. Ok , Mary is created by God to be his mother while still his child so that later she can be impregnated by him to be his queen while she is still a bride. Pidgin : god create you ,come give you belle so you go be god mama, later god mama go be god queen (wife)as god mama don be him bride. No wonder people who believe this doctrine say its a mystery and hide prove to its traditional source. |

Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Syncan(m): 9:31am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Barnabaseloka: At the bold, thank you, that's all there is to know. At the one in Italics, Your mother is your mother because she bore you on earth. No body has said your mother is your mother, both on earth and wherever next. We are here on earth, Mary bore God on earth, Mary is the mother of God. |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Barnabaseloka(m): 9:36am On Jun 09, 2015 |
italo:No one doubts the fact that Mary was the mother of Jesus on earth. Her motherly role ceased when Jesus started His ministry, obeying ONLY God, There is no motherly role that Mary still plays in the life of Jesus today. I hope you remember when the mother of James and John requested Jesus to see to it that her two sons sit at His left and right hands? Jesus clearly stated that it was only the Father that has the authority to decide those that would sit at His left and right hands. They are believers who ran this christian race to the end and not just one person. I have said it that people should not contradict any other passage of the Scriptures to prove a point. If you quote a passage and it contradicts another passage, then the one who quoted it has misinterpreted it. First of all read all the passages of Psalm 45 to have an understanding of what David said. No passage in the bible ever support the claim whether indirectly or directly that the queen illustrated here is Mary. Rev.12 talked about the birth of Jesus and any description given her was to show the glory of God upon her life b/c of the Child (Jesus) whom she had in her womb. Here the word 'woman' was used and not 'queen' and from the Scriptures we understand that the woman was Mary. If you read the whole chapter, you will discover that the Devil (through Herod) wanted to kill Jesus when He was born but the parents took Him to Egypt. So, Rev.12 tells us what surrounded the birth of Jesus and how God rescued Him from being killed by satan. Have you not read that 'Flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God'? Have you not read that it is appointed unto man once to die and after that judgement? Also tell me that Mary did not die and hence awaiting the ressurection day and that she is seated with Jesus in heaven. No passage in the Scriptures ever interpreted, whether clearly or not, that Mary is the queen of heaven. Mary as a human being believed in Jesus and became a child of God. She died just like every other human being and waiting for the trumpet to sound to rise to life. Rev.20:11-15 11.Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12. And I saw the dead, small and great standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13. The sea gave up the dead, who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged each one according to his works. 14. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15. And ANYONE (no exception) not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. 1 Thes.4:16-17 16. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the lLord. 1 Corinth.15:27. For He (God) has put ALL THINGS under His (Jesus) feet. But when He says all things are put under Him, it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Jesus controls all things (humans, angels and the world at large without any exception). Only God is excepted. Therefore when you want to lay claim to something in the Scriptures, compare it with other passages to get a better understanding of such passage/s. 1 Like 1 Share |

Syncan:There is no doubt that Mary was the mother of Jesus. I used the word earthly to show that her motherly role ended here on earth. Mary plays no motherly role on Jesus now. Or are you trying to state otherwise? |

Scholar8200: Matt 2:13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt So do you now agree that Mary is the mother of Jesus who is God? Scholar8200: In the Jewish culture, a Davidic King would have his mother as Queen rather than his wife. Almost every time a new king is introduced in 1 and 2 Kings, the king’s mother is mentioned. She was a member of the royal court, wore a crown, sat on a throne, and shared in the king’s reign (2 Kings 24:12, 15; Jer. 13:18–20). She acted as counselor to her son (Prov. 31), an advocate of the people, and as an intercessor for the citizens of the kingdom (1 Kings 2:17–20). Since Jesus is a King based on the order of David, it makes sense that His mother would be called Queen. In 1 Kings 2:20, Solomon said to his Mother Bathsheba, seated on a throne at his right, "Make your request, Mother, for I will not refuse you Do you know these? Scholar8200:So it wasn't Mary that was pregnant with Jesus and bore him anymore. Abi? Scholar8200: You choose not to find it in scripture because you have decided that the "called out ones" is the queen in heaven. Ps 45:17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever. Luke 1:48From now on all generations will call me blessed Was it also the "called out ones" that spoke the above words in Luke 1? You have decided that Israel is the one that carried Jesus in the womb and bore him. When the same Sun, moon and stars bowed to Joseph, was Joseph 'The nation of Israel?' 1 Like |

Syncan:Jesus did not contradict the message of the angel. Yes all nations shall call her blessed and that was what the woman did. Jesus was trying to show her the more important thing that believers should do to attract blessings from God, not by calling Mary 'blessed'. |

Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by italo: 10:26am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Barnabaseloka: This is what opposition to God's Catholic Church does to a man. He becomes like the proverbial man whom the gods, when intending to destroy him, first make him deaf. John 19:25 - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen First you called Jesus a liar by saying his time had come when he said it hadn't come. Again you call the Holy Spirit a liar. |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Barnabaseloka(m): 10:28am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Syncan:It is an undisputed fact that Mary was (not is) the mother of God. The word 'is' means that she still acts as the mother today, which is not true. It has passed so use the word 'was'. When we want to talk about Mary being the mother of Jesus,, with reference to His birth, we have to say 'Mary was the mother of Jesus'. And do not put it as if she still plays any role as the mother in His life today. |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Syncan(m): 10:31am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Barnabaseloka: At bold, hence according to you, calling Mary "blessed" is an important thing, but not more important than doing the will of God (which includes calling Mary blessed). Ok then, thankfully Jesus has something to say about such situations thus:"These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others".Matt. 23:23. Are you doing that? |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Barnabaseloka(m): 10:40am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Syncan:It is only when a mother is still living that sb will ask 'Who is the mother of ....?' As long as the mother is dead, the right question becomes 'Who was the mother of ....?'. Anyway that is by the way. Let me ask you a question. Does Mary still have influence (play motherly role) in the life of Jesus today? |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by italo: 10:42am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Barnabaseloka:You don't know who compiled it and you are using it as an authority on Christian matters. What if it was compiled by devil worshippers who included some deceptive verses and excluded important ones? Barnabaseloka: The Catholic Church compiled the Bible in the fourth century. It used the same authority, tradition and spiritual insight it has to do the following: 1. Declare Mary the Mother of God. 2. Decide which books are scripture and which aren't. 3. Declare the Canon of scripture closed. Etc. If they erred, and Mary is not the mother of God, then they could have also erred, and maybe Revelations or Luke or Matthew is not scripture. And perhaps canon of scripture is still open so the Holy spirit could inspire me or you or Pope or Pastor TB Joshua to write scripture. I say they didn't/cannot err in teachings of faith and morals.

You quoted my post, yet you were talking out of context as if the post was quarreling with your submission, so I had to call your attention to it. Yes, this is coming like a debate, but we should note that this is a matter of life, only the truth sets one free. Not winning the debate. |

Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? by Syncan(m): 10:51am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Barnabaseloka: Your problem is that you doubt Jesus. Jesus said: "Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die" Jn 11:26. He even used Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as examples thus: "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living" Matt. 22:32. Please try to believe Jesus, Mary is living just as these Patriarchs. What is it you want again? 1 Like |
