QUESTION: Why do Catholics call Mary the Queen of Heaven? Didn't God rebuke the Israelites in the O.T. for worshiping a false goddess called the Queen of Heaven? Should we not refer to Mary with that title, therefore, since it is the title of a false goddess? ANSWER: In Jeremiah 7:18, God was indeed upset with the Israelites for worshiping a false goddess called the "queen of heaven". However, just because God rebuked them for worshiping the false queen of heaven, doesn't mean that we cannot pay honor to the true Queen of Heaven...the Blessed Mother. That type of thinking would lead you to believe that just because people worship a false god that they call "god," we, therefore, should not call the true God, by that same name...God...because that's the same title the idolaters use for their god! That is faulty logic and it makes no sense whatsoever. Again, the fact that there is a false "queen of heaven", does not lead to the conclusion that we worship a false goddess when we call Mary the "Queen of Heaven." Just as the fact that there is a false "god", does not lead to the conclusion that we worship a false god when we call our Father in Heaven, God. Subsequently there is a true Queen of Heaven, we see this quite clearly in Revelation 12:1, "And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars..." Let's see. There's a woman...she's in Heaven...and she has a crown on her head. It is the true Queen of Heaven, Mary, the mother of the male child who is to rule the nations. We do not worship Mary, we honor her, just as Jesus honors her. So, there is absolutely nothing wrong, from the scriptural point of view, in calling Mary the Queen of Heaven, and in honoring her just as Jesus honors her. |

Dude, Where in the bible is the tittle "Queen of Heaven" given to Mary? If you are ascertaining she is the queen of heaven,then Joseph her husband is the King of Heaven abi? Try and study your bible. 1 Like |

Isaiah 7:14: Well then, the Lord Himself will give you a sign; a young woman who is pregnant will have a son and will name Him Immanuel- a name which means GOD with us. John 1:1,14: In the beginning, the Word already existed; the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word became a human being, full of grace and truth, lived among us. Which is easier to understand? Mary is the Queen of heaven or Mary is the Mother of God. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us. 1 Like |

Its anti-biblical,to call Mary the foster mother of Jesus Christ the Queen of heaven, neither do any first century christain refered her as such. The Roman Catholic Church was an amalgamation of all deities worship in then Rome into one by emperor constaintine.The queen of heaven originated from ancient babylon, known as Semirams,among hindus Devak,ancient egypt Athor, Isis in pagan ibo religion abakalanwa. Its teachings and liturgies are infusion of Islam,budhism, hindusim, and animism Compare the chaplet to the islam praying beads, budhism praying wheels, carved idols and earthly representation of creeping images, Early Rome has and have upto today 360 deities worshipped everyday, compare that to 3,600,000 gods and goddess worshipped among budhism amd hindusim The fact is such teachings are doctrinated to catholics through their so called catechism but the catechism admitted that if you want to know the truth, one should go the bible |

i.chuka:hmmmm! I see u won't believe if it is not in the bible. The bible told us to believe not only in the bible or the written word but in sacred traditions passed down to us. Please read the following passages carefully. John 21:23, 2 Thes. 2:15, 1 Tim 2:2. |
