Hey pple of eXcess, the understanding of faith is a very sensitive and deceiving nature. If u were to go and look online for stories/white papers/studies/research on the faith, you are going to face pple of other denominations and ATHIEST(pple who believe that they are their own god). Here are some tips to no get deceived into what u read/hear abt the faith.
Always research reference points or verses of a claim. e.g if i were to say
would this be enough evidence for u that catholism is wrong. lets look on the other side.
"Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ." I Corinthians 11:1 so is paul also a sinner to telling us to imitate him in is Christ like ways.?
No, we use Paul as a benchmark as he too was born a sinner like me n u. Just like how we use Mother Mary as a benchmark to be so loving and devoted to Jesus on earth and believed in god with her whole heart.
Mary is not divine, she is not a goddess. She was a human being fully redeemed and saved by God. She says so herself in Luke 1:46-55, "And Mary said, 'My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.'" Read the full passage here: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...
Jesus wanted Christians to see His mother as their mother. This comes from John 19:27, where Jesus tells the beloved disciple, "Behold, your mother." If we are to follow the example of the apostles we are to honor Mary as our mother.
this is just the brim of my understanding on mary and our chruch and find verses past researches and make it your own
Always look at peoples point of views.
STAY OPEN MINDED. there is never enough modes of research, and version of an article.
Good luck and dont get deceived. God Bless

"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." - Isaiah 42:8
i u worship Mary u are already going against God for worshipping someone other then Him. Mary was just a lady and was born just like u and me and was a sinner also.
