The Catholic
What kind of a term is this?

I have seen several anti-Catholic posters use it recently.
gave this “Queen of Heaven and Earth” title to Mary. There is no reference in the bible that Mary was given any special priveleges or title, and also ‘special powers’.
Mary is Jesus’ mother. Jesus is King. She is Queen mother. Or do you deny that Jesus is King? Did you not know that in Israel, the mother of the King had her own title as Queen MOther?
After the Pentecost, there are no other mention of Mary in the bible. Although, the Apostle John cared for Mary, John never mentioned her in his Gospel. If Mary, being the mother of Jesus, why would John not write about Mary and her ‘role’?
He did! That is what we see in Revelation.
 
I am not grafted into Jesus mother. I am grafted to the vine, which is Jesus.
This may be a great disappointment to you, but all who are in Christ are also grafted into His Body, the Church. We are all members one of another, and are brothers and sisters, mothers, fathers, etc. This “it’s just Jesus and me” business is not Biblical.
 
Read Luke1:46-55. I only listed 2 verses.
[Luk 1:46] And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord
[Luk 1:47] and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

If Mary is sinless, she would not have stated “my Savior”

The hebrew word for savior is σωτήρ, meaning “a deliverer, that is, God or Christ: - saviour”
This is Greek, not Hebrew.
Mary was not sinless. If you say that she was sinless, you have to also say that Mary’s mother who boure Mary in her womb must also be sinless, and so on to Mary’s mother’s mother…
God reached into Adam and created Eve from his rib. Eve was created without sin. Don’t you think he could make a human egg and human sperm come together without original sin?
The ‘woman’ is the church if you read commentaries on Revelation 12.
The woman in Rev. is a multivalent image that has attributes of several sources. She represents Mary to the extent that she gives birth to Christ. In this way she also represents Israel, for salvation is from the Jews. She also represents the Church, whose offspring are at war with the devil.
Having Mary as the center of your faith, dishonor Jesus and God.
This is an absurd accusation. Persons devoted to their mothers don’t have them as the center of their faith, or dishonor God by honoring their parents. On the contrary, honoring one’s parents is the first commandment with a promise.

Eph 6:1-4
6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.”

And what does Mary command us? “Do whatever He tells you”.

I am not so sure this is what her pain was. It has been said that she did not suffer the consequence of original sin, having been preserved from it. Therefore, she had no pain in childbearing. Also, it is written that she retained her virgin state after the birth, the Christ passing through her without violation.
Is that “in” The Bible?

No it isn’t …
I 've always thought her “pain” was the death of her son : she was there at the foot of the cross, with John, whereas a lot of other “male disciples” had disappearedd ( or at least their presence is not mentioned … ) : what can be more terrible for a woman than to see her son die that way ??? his sufferings on the cross, and also the crowd laughing at him , provoking him …
 
I am not grafted into Jesus mother. I am grafted to the vine, which is Jesus.

[Jhn 15:1] “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
[Jhn 15:2] He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
[Jhn 15:4] Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
[Jhn 15:5] “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Area52

Think, think, think, you are not thinking things through…
Sure, Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, just look out that you are not a dead branch so that you may infect the rest.

Our Blessed Mother is also grafted to Jesus and Jesus grafted to Mary.
Without Mary, there is no Jesus, they are inseparable

Holy Mary Mother of God , pray for us sinners now and and the hour of death.:byzsoc:

Perhaps if I said, I will always come to Our Blessed Mother’s aid would have sounded better.
And yes, we Catholics are accused quite wrongly by most protestants that we worship Mary and put her on the same level as God. That is grossly wrong and heretical. Hopefully you are one of the more enlightened Protestants that have come to realize that we love and honour her , and yes ask for her intercession in our prayers…

God incarnate made His first home in the womb of a pure sinless woman who said ‘yes’ to the invitation of grace. She thus became a woman who was 'full of grace. **A highly favoured Lady. **
How can we separate her from God ?
Jesus was nurtured and reared by an earthly mother who spoke the words of love to Him. She fed Him at her breast, washed Him , wiped his tears, caressed Him. She thus mothered the God of the whole human race who, in Jesus Christ, came into our midst as one of us. This is the heart of the Christian faith.

So, why is it that you can’t pray to the Mother of God, whose womb was the first tabernacle to carry Our Blessed Lord.
Jesus wants you to love his mother, he gave her to us at the food of the cross.

Jesus , Mary , I love you , save souls.:byzsoc:

Thanks be to God.
 
Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls

We can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens us.
You need to look at the context for your quote. It has nothing to do with our needing a Savior.

Jesus never commands the impossible.
Huh? Who can keep the Law perfectly?
James 2:10 is quite clear about this— For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

Catholics have a much larger view of salvation. Catholics believe we are saved so that we can love perfectly.
Are you saying there are catholics who have loved perfectly?

Most Protestants often attack Catholics by accusing us of worshipping Mary. The Catholics have never worshipped Mary, but we do give her great respect and honor because she is the mother of Christ, who is the second person of God. It is true that we ask Mary to pray for us, but this is no different from Protestants who ask their friends and co-workers to pray for their sick child, mother, or loved one. If we can ask people on earth to pray for our sick child, then we can ask those in Heaven the same thing because all those in Heaven are living. They are not dead.

Do you really believe that Jesus and Mary were of fair complexion with rosy cheeks and that Jesus had long hair?
