The Rapture: Mary, The New 'Eve' in the Bible! PT 1

Also be sure to visit http://ciaovatican2.blogspot.com
Dr. Scott Hahn, professor of Biblical Theology, former anti-catholic, found the Catholic Church after his exhaustive search for 'Truth' in 'Scripture alone'. He stumbled on 1 Tim 3:15 and realized the reformers he followed so voraciously, had indeed, strayed from the fullness of Truth that Christ and the Apostles taught and preached to the Fathers and all of Christendom.

Listen to Scott as he 'opens up the Word'.

"Did not our hearts burn within us...as he opened up to us the Scriptures?"
—Luke 24:32

@mpenaco Mary is Queen of Heaven. She is co-redemptrix and mediatrix of all graces. The Holy Scriptures speak prophetically of Mary's queenship in Psalm 45:10-17. The people will seek her favor (verse 12) and all generations will praise her (verse 17). God has exalted Mary to be Queen of Heaven.  We should honor those upon whom God has bestowed great honor. Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians are correct in honoring Mary as Mother of the Church and Queen of Heaven.

@evo55 Mary, just like Abraham, Moses, David and others did the will of God and for that, she will be with God in His Kingdom. But her obedience does not mean that she is the new Eve, or that she was sinless, or that she is queen of heaven and earth, or co-redemptrix or mediatrix. She is a child of God for her obedience to God's command, nothing more. All glory and honor belong to Christ for making the ultimate sacrifice. Let us all give him that.

@mpenaco We know that Mary did the will of God. She is 2x the mother of Jesus, for not only did she carry Jesus in her womb and nurture him in life but she always did the will of God. Mary is the model disciple of Jesus for all Christians. She was the first to believe in and accept Christ as her saviour. She followed him all the way to the Cross. She accepted to suffer with Christ by seeing her son die on the Cross. A sword pierced her soul so that the thoughts of many hearts would be revealed.

@evo55 Who did Jesus say his mother is?

"Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

(Matthew 12:47-50).

The disciples, not Mary, are Jesus' real mother according to Jesus himself.

@mpenaco Jesus didn't reveal all divine mysteries to his disciples for they were yet not ready to receive. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church unto all Truth and reveal all that He spoke to us. Jesus spoke to his beloved disciple, "son, behold thy mother" and to Mary, "mother, behold they son." In this Jesus gives us Mary to be our Mother, thus we are to take Mary into our hearts as our Mother. Mary takes us as her children to be our mother and helper. She intercedes for us in heaven.

There is no queen in heaven. There is only a King. In fact, we are told in Jeremiah that God punished His own people for invoking the queen of heaven in their worship. If there is a queen, God would have revealed this important truth to them. The elevation of Mary from a mere human to a divine being is contrary to Scripture and must be rejected as a false teaching.

@kiwichristian2009 If it was a "secret Vatican edict", how come you know about it?

@kiwichristian2009 - What I don't understand is why, if you are so concerned with child safety, you don't reference Carol Shakeshaft's report showing that in the public school system, the incidents of child abuse and cover ups are "at least 100 times worse" than those arising from priestly abuse cases. So are you trying to protect children, or just trying to point the finger at Catholics? Honestly? Really?

@kiwichristian2009 Seek the truth, not the winning of an argument. Here it is again: 1 Cor. 15:22 states “For as in Adam ALL die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” The Bible tells us that Enoch and Elijah were taken up to heaven without dying. There are other examples about exceptions to the word "all" but you can't get around this first one, so I won't bother.

Be careful, self-appointed freelance Bible interpreters are a cancer to the truth because they are not infallible teachers..

@PraisedBeJesus Quote where they were taken to "heaven". They weren't. They were assumed into paradise. Also, if you are saying God tells us these two people were assumed into heaven ( unbiblical ), and since you guys are so obsessed with mary and think her to be so important, why wouldn't God have also said that she would be assumed?
