Because of statements lmade about other Christian:
Wrong. You fail to acknowledge History. There are profound documents on the Apostles. You have to do “research”.
Basically we already concluded God “is” the Source of ALL Grace. Performing Miracles by Saints is not new.
We are talking about the Ark of the Covenant. REMEMBER?
You bring up a Martyred saint, that is relevant to the Ark of the Covenant, How?
Pope Leo XIII and Pius have what to do with a long line of History from within 30-years of Christ on the Cross? They are just two in that long line of links, which is so extensive you could read about Mary for years. Pope Leo XIII wrote 11-13 encyclicals himself on Mary. There are 2500 Biographys on her alone. Fact is no woman in History has been more written about, or appears more in the Arts, etc. NONE.
There was one who gave Birth to the Lord (Luke). Greeted by an Angel sent by God with a salutation to indicate how all the Heavens viewed Mary according to Gods will.
One women out of that entire OT was chosen while man was DEAD as Daniel and Elijah etc. were great Saints but not in heaven. Not one soul in the OT till the Redemption was in Heaven (Colossians 2:13). Which was preceeded by Marys faith/fiat. Christ through Mary became the plan in Gods mind. Out of all women, the Lord chose one, Mary. That alone ought to tell you what He thought about Her. He placed the Life of the Second person of the Trinity in Her arms along with the future of mankind. Then She spent 33 years in person Talking to God. A feat no-one in History has been so priviledged and so Blessed to have had such an honor to do.
Mary did not have sin for She could not have conceived God but in a state of pure Grace thus the Incarnation. Here Bible gives us a glimpse.
In the order of Grace, Mary is directly behind the Trinity. In the Mystical body of Christ, Christ is the Head, Mary is the neck. All Grace flows through Mary by Gods will “because” All Grace already flowed through Mary at the Incarnation as God the Father so willed it to be. And if the Lord so wills it to be? Far from me to interfer with His plan of salvation.
One individual gave Birth to Christ, Jesus… Mary, thus She became the New Ark of the Covenant at that moment. There is NO ARK on earth as we have concluded by Revelation. When did all Grace stop flowing through Mary. As we see, it hasn’t.
These works exist as I have showed you in “All” the Apostolic Churchs.
The Bible in not as old as the existing works we have, not as old as the oral tradition which is recorded in not one, but many of the Apostolic Churchs. As we see.
If you want to ignore history stick to strickly Bible. God Bless you, I find it horribly lacking to speak on what you refuse to research, which to this point indicates something very different than what History/Philosophy/Theology indicate, thus the Truth.
The Popes, Saints and Mystics are but another dimension through the entire History. I showed you the History dating back to “before” the Bible. We have nothing from the Bible from then, codex, chits of pottery with Matthews verse in parts etc. The Bible becomes a fact in 200-AD. There are more different Bible’s written, than words in it today. Theres one oral/written tradition which remains consistant in the Apostolic Churchs. And rightfully so they are GODS CHURCHS
In the Bible only philosophy/theology I’m sorry all the answers to History are not there. And the Bible “literally” tells you this
In many verse’s.
Thus from the 1st century till 1850 all is consistant with Mary and the Mystery continues to unfold. Thus the new “heretical” theory is of “today” with our Bible only Sola Scripture thinking. History in the Apostles Churchs runs parallel and is consistant on this topic.
NO-ONE woman but Mary was chosen as Isreal persevered the test of time for thousands of years. The Lords plan thus became Mary to conceive Christ Jesus in the Incarnation and fulfillment of Isaiah. There is no Saint, no Prophet, no Angel NOBODY who such an honor was bestowed upon.
Thus the Ark of the Covenant. I’ve yet to see anyone come along in these preceeding pages with a any valid arguement to the contrary, and frankly I don’t expect to see one. The simple fact is the Incarnation itself supports the theology.
Theres of mulitude of Catholic/Orthodox Fathers working on this today as we speak, which I linked the research on. At the moment everyone became silent on this since much research is required now.
As of this moment there is NO mistakes in Catholic Church teaching in regards to this topic. If fact documented History continues to confirm the teaching as of most recent. I see no change coming, in fact much to the contrary as Dr. Scott Hahn stated earlier in this thread.
The Church doesn’t state all Grace has to come through Mary, the fact is for those who cannot find a State of Grace and are subjected to perpetual sin, cannot approach the Lord for shame, decades of breaking the commandments, for whatever reason in their mind they may have conceived to seperate themselves from God, then Marys intercession in the order of Grace becomes your guide to Her Son. If you choose to seek Christ at all.
A fact affirmed in History by ALL the Saints, Popes, and Mystics, in the church.
Sorry in this area the Bible is simply lacking with information which is provided in other ways, the Bible provides a piece of the puzzle. Thats all. The Bible tells you this.
Granted not an easy topic to approach, did you listen to Scott Hahn, Stevie Ray, Patrick Madrid? I was “raised Catholic” and thought exactly as they did, Church was crazy with the Mary theology. The more you read, research, contemplate, the more it becomes self-evident the church was not wrong, we were.
