theoriginalgood:
Assuming you refer to the devil as a “bad” being, of course it can die. The fact is that bad still exists in the world today, therefore you can say the devil is still “alive”. One day when goodness is at maximum potency, it will vanquish bad from existence. Then you can say the devil will be dead.
I never said the Devil is already dead, what i wrote is that the Devil is destructible and will be destroyed by God at the end of this World.

abeg help me quote your translation
Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Is there anything written above that is complex to understand?

what concerns Diana and Mary, you seem to be inconsistent as usual.


The Bible tells us about the honor of Mary and her title.

You just seem blind to it or you knowingly try confusing the mother of Jesus with Diana.


I would go even more direct, God himself honored Mary, Jesus honoured her, the the Bible tells me that all generation, all ages will do same.

God honored her
Luke 1
God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Jesus honored her
Luke 2:51

Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

All ages will honor her.

Luke 1:48 hmm



So Jesus honored her, so do I
So you don't know that Diana is another name of the pagan goddess which your church rebranded as Mary?

The Bible says thou shall not bear false witness dear.

Catholics have been consistent in insisting that Mary is simply human and should not be adored it is a sin called idolatry and any Catholic who holds such opinion is condemned by the church under anathema since that is a serious heresy.

in ancient religion there are also gods called king of kings, Lord of lords, divine, savior, first and last, and several thousand names, that didn't stop Christians from using all those titles for Jesus, even many titles Yorubas use for Jesus comes from their local deities.

This appropriation is not new nor sinful, if false gods use a title the belongs to God we remove those titles from them, if false heroes take titles that grace have given to others, we removed the false heroes and give the titles to those who have been given the grace. It doesn't mean we worship false gods, instead we removed titles from false illusions and give it to those who deserve such either by nature or by grace.





This is an unfortunate lie,

The honor of Mary, the apostles and martyrs in the Christian churches was already a solid and clear practice even before the birth of Constantine or even his parents, so too the asking of their intercession.

The false story that it began during Constantine to merge other religions is a lie peddled by either those ignorant of the early church or out to deceive others.
In the early church even before Constantine Mary is referred to as the new Eve who rolls back the disobedience of the old Eve

"As Eve was seduced by the speech of an angel, so as to flee God in transgressing his word, so also Mary received the good tidings by means of the angel's speech, so as to be God within her, being obedient to this word. And though the one had disobeyed God, yet the other was drawn to obey him; that of the virgin Eve, the virgin Mary might become the advocate and as by a virgin the human race had been bound to death, by a virgin it is saved, the balance being preserved- a virgin's disobedience by a virgin' obedience." (Against Heresies, 3, 19 130 A.D

For whereas Eve, yet a virgin and undefiled, through conceiving the word that came from the serpent, brought forth disobedience and death; the Virgin Mary, taking faith and joy, when the Angel told her the good tidings that the Spirit of the Lord should come upon her, and the power of the Most High overshadow her, and therefore the Holy One to be born of her should be the Son of God, answered, Be it done to me according to thy word. And so by means of her was he born, concerning whom we have shown so many Scriptures were spoken; through whom God overthrows the serpent, and those angels and men who have become like to it, and on the other hand, works deliverance from death for such as repent of their evil doings and believe in him (Dialogue with Trypho, 100 A.D.)

Along with titles like mother of God, ever virgin, etc. Her intercession is requested even in the early church

We fly to your patronage, O holy Theotokos; despise not our petition in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O ever-glorious and blessed Virgin." 3rd century


Check all those dates, those are Christian leaders before Constantine.
the worship of any deity is still prohibited in the Catholic church as it always was.
Stop been ingnorant even a when known occultists acknownledge that Mary in Catholism was there plan and agenda

Jones suggests that there is an "Hegelian
Dialectic to combine a form of Christianity as
thesis, with a pagan spiritualism as
antithesis, resulting in a synthesis very akin
to the Babylonian Mystery Religions. This
appears to be confirmed by Teilhard de
Chardin who said:
"My approach...would be...to narrow that
gap...by bringing out what one might call the
Christian soul of pantheism or the pantheist
aspect of Christianity." The 'form of
Christianity' he mentions is that of the
Catholic church and the weakened, diluted,
Protestantism that barely resembles that
which existed at the time of the Reformation.
An important point is made with a quote
from Fritz Springmeier's book, `Be Wise As
Serpents`. He says, "When you worship the
sun, moon, stars, a statue, or even yourself,
Lucifer is leading you astray. You are not to
worship things that were created; instead you
are to worship the creator. To worship
anything other than the creator is giving heed
to Lucifer".
Mary. Of course the worship of Mary,
in Roman catholicism, is actually
veiled worship of the pagan mother
goddess or queen of heaven,
Semiramis.

You lied the early Church never worshipped or venerated Mary.
In Acts 19:24 Paul condemed the Greeks for worshipping the goddess Diana which is another name for Queen of Heaven no where in the bible did Paul or any other the apostles ever give Mary any title lest of all venerate her. it was this same Diana that was rebranded as Mary


Acts 19:24
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 19:28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. 19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

the op is just ignorant, there are several pagan stories that parallels the story of Jesus, certain pagan gods also have stories of coming to earth through a virgin and dying to save their people, in fact among the earliest people to recognise this was the early Christian Justin, the Christian story is similar to what several pagan gods were acclaimed to have done.


It is called the devils mimicry, nothing new there, does that mean that Jesus is a pagan deity adopted by the Christian churches? Nope. The devil already knew God's plan to redeem humanity, he simply mimicked it in certain aspects.

It is petty ignorance.
So how does that justify the worship and veneration of Mary?

I stopped paying attention to all these protestants long ago, but as I keep ignoring them, they keep falling into disillusion, the problem being that they refuse to hear the truth till the extent that all they hear that hits the Catholic Church is sweet to their ears, they forget that, the church, has gone from one suffering period to another yet still stood strong is that not the grace of God.

Another that makes me laugh is that their founding fathers who protested against the Catholic Church held that MARY IS MOTHER OF GOD, how these new off springs came up with their own fallacy remains a mystery.

And for you people I shake my head, stop living in fallacy and come to the light.

The good thing is that all I'm those days were written and stored, who who have ears let them hear, you can spit upon the truth, smear it with dirt, the truth still remains the truth and those who know it hold it irrespective of what people think or say.
Keep confusing yourself. how is Mary been Queen of Heaven truth?

Did you read those passages? No prophet ever reported or prophesy that the Messiah was coming to die for sins, there was already a solution to that problem in the old testament..
The Jews knew and wrote about the coming of Jesus who was to die for the sins of the World.

Throughout the Hebrew
Scriptures, the promise of a
Messiah is clearly given. These
messianic prophecies were made
hundreds, sometimes thousands
of years before Jesus Christ was
born, and clearly Jesus Christ is
the only person who has ever
walked this earth to fulfill them. In
fact, from Genesis to Malachi,
there are over 300 specific
prophecies detailing the coming of
this Anointed One. In addition to
prophecies detailing His virgin
birth, His birth in Bethlehem, His
birth from the tribe of Judah, His
lineage from King David, His
sinless life, and His atoning work
for the sins of His people,the
death and resurrection of the
Jewish Messiah was, likewise, well
documented in the Hebrew
prophetic Scriptures long before
the death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ occurred in history.
Of the best-known prophecies in
the Hebrew Scriptures concerning
the death of Messiah, Psalm 22
and Isaiah 53 certainly stand out.
Psalm 22 is especially amazing
since it predicted numerous
separate elements about Jesus’
crucifixion a thousand years
before Jesus was crucified. Here
are some examples. Messiah will
have His hands and His feet
“pierced” through (Psalm 22:16;
John 20:25). The Messiah’s bones
will not be broken (a person’s legs
were usually broken after being
crucified to speed up their death)
(Psalm 22:17; John 19:33). Men
will cast lots for Messiah’s
clothing (Psalm 22:18; Matthew
27:35).
Isaiah 53, the classic messianic
prophecy known as the “ Suffering
Servant” prophecy, also details the
death of Messiah for the sins of
His people. More than 700 years
before Jesus was even born, Isaiah
provides details of His life and
death. The Messiah will be rejected
(Isaiah 53:3; Luke 13:34). The
Messiah will be killed as a
vicarious sacrifice for the sins of
His people (Isaiah 53:5–9; 2
Corinthians 5:21). The Messiah
will be silent in front of His
accusers (Isaiah 53:7; 1 Peter
2:23). The Messiah will be buried
with the rich (Isaiah 53:9; Matthew
27:57–60). The Messiah will be
with criminals in His death (Isaiah
53:12; Mark 15:27).
In addition to the death of the
Jewish Messiah, His resurrection
from the dead is also foretold. The
clearest and best known of the
resurrection prophecies is the one
penned by Israel’s King David in
Psalm 16:10, also written a
millennium before the birth of
Jesus: “For You will not abandon
my soul to Sheol; Nor will You
allow Your Holy One to undergo
decay.”

Christianity Etc › The True Identity Of Catholic Mary by blueAgent(op): 7:00am On Oct 19, 2018
Billions of Catholics worship, venerate & adore Mary yet many of them do not know the history or the real identity of the personality called Mary.

In Paganism, ancient Egyptain and European religeons the worship of the goddess of fertility, motherhood and magic was highly celeberated she was conferred with several titles and names like ,The divine one,Virgin Mother,Mother of God,The Queen of Heaven,Queen of all Gods,The maker of Sunrise.
In Egyptian literature she was called ISIS or Athor, Virgo,Deipara in Tibet and China, as Hestia or Athena in Greece & Juno or Dove in Rome . she was known as the goddess with ten thousand names.
During the reign of Constantine when Rome(Seat of Catholic Church) was converting from paganism to Christainity Mary the mother of Jesus Christ was chosen as the Subsitute for the Mother goddess, pagans and Christains continued there prayers and devotion to the The Mother goddess which was rebranded as Mary to appeal to the Christains.this doctrine was enacted by the Catholic Church at the council of Ephesus in 431AD.
Among the early Christains and Apostles the worship of any diety or Mother goddess was totally forbidden  no where in the Bible are Christains taught to pray worship or venerate any other person than God or Jesus
  The Queen of Heaven mentioned in the Bible was not Mary but a goddess who  was worshipped and venerated by the Israelities.
Rather than be a blessing  the worship of the Queen of Heaven provoked God to anger. Jeremiah  7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
It was becos of this Sin that God castout all the Children of Judah and destoryed Jerusalem, jeremiah44:1-end especially verse17.
If God regarded it as sin then he still regards it as sin today becos  he says in Malachi  3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not;
God is a jealous God, he cannot share his glory with anyone that includes the Pope,Mary,Saints,or Queen of Heaven Isaiah42:8 “I am the Lord; that is my name;
my glory I give to no other…”

The bible is explictly clear on the issue of worship and prayer to God  only in the name of  Jesus Christ are we expected to pray.
Even Angels refused to recieve worship in the bible, it was Satan's desire to share or recieve God's worship that lead to the Beginning of war in Heaven Isaiah14:13 & Ezekiel28:18.

In matthew2:11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped HIM: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

From the above bible verse we can see that The Wise men from the East worshipped only Jesus and not Mary.


Some false assumptions made by the Catholic Church about Mary.

Immaculate mother:Mary was a descendant of David she was born through the act of sexual intercourse and not by divine immaculate conception as Catholics present her to be therefore she has sin.
psalm 143:2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous.
Job 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Virgn mother: While Mary was a virgin before she was chosen by God as the mother of  Jesus Christ she don't remain a virgn forever, after the birth of Jesus  Mary had many other children with Joseph of course through sexual intercourse this means Mary did not die a virgin as Catholic protary her to be.
Matthew 12:46-47 , "While He was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."

Matthew 13:55, "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "
Mark 6:2-3 , "And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon?Are not His sisters here with us?"

Holy Mother: Mary is viewed as an  intercessor,  When Jesus Christ taught  his disciples  how to  pray he told them clearly that prayers where to be made to his Father only through his name "Jesus Christ" and not through Mary or Saints. Jesus alone is our high priest.Heb7:21'John14:13' 1Timothy2:15



In Conclusion
While Catholics believe that they are honouring Mary the truth is that they are Worshipping the pagan mother goddess which has be rebranded as Mary and this is pure idolatry.

The jews where waiting for a Messiah that God promised to send them. He was coming from the shoot of jesse(David's father) meaning he will have a human father and a human mother.. He is coming to usher an era of world peace (no more wars and oppression), he will make God the creator known throughout the world, he will build the temple and the jews will resume the daily sacrifice to God,
And he is coming just ONCE to accomplish all these, he will do all these in the first attempt as there was no second coming arrangements..

So then, who is jesus? The jews don't have the idea of God mating with human as part of their belief.. That is a roman /Greek belief (I guess you have watched "clash of the titans and percy Jackson and the lightening thief)..

Now do you realize there are over 600 laws,rules and regulations
So how on earth do you pick the ones to keep and the ones to discard since the bible says if you are guilty of one you are guilty of all.

If you don't accept the finished work of Christ as a done deal and a gift because Christ has satisfied all the conditions,pastors and prophets will eat you like moi moi.

I repeat the law has been completely replaced by the finished work on the cross.
If you still argue with that,you need to be born again
Really?

But out of all the laws in the Bible the 10commandments are the only laws given directly by God himself and they were written by his finger.

Only the ten commandments can define Sin.

For anyone interested in knowledge,Christ totally satisfied and therefore replaced the law
First of all gentiles were never subject to the law to begin with so for us non Jews,we had no laws to obey.
When Christ by his death and resurrection made us Co heirs with him,we walked into a better covenant if Grace.


Luke 24 v 27 says "And beginning with Moses,he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The above tells us that the old testament laws and prophets and texts were all pointing to Christ.
Christ is the message of scripture
In the OT he was concealed and now he is revealed.
We look into Jesu's and Jesus alone who is the author and finisher of our faith .

Romans 10 v 4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes

The bible says we don't pour new wine in old wine skin and there it was speaking about grace and laws.
You don't take a little bit of laws and mix it with Grace or Christ will be of no effect to you.
It is either 100% grace or its not grace at all.
Salvation and righteousness come purely by grace.
No works of man can add to what Christ did
James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

The problem is you don't understand what Grace is
