No to both.

Mary gave birth to a human child.
You don’t believe scripture I suppose?

Lk 2:30 I have seen a human child?
Or maybe
Lk 2:30 I have seen my salvation.

Not not a doctrine to be believed:
Not only an atoning sacrifice:
But Christ is our salvation in His person even as an infant!

Mother of God: Lk 1:43

A good tree CANNOT bear bad fruit!
A bad tree (sinner) cannot bear good fruit! (Savior / salvation)

Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The fruit of the tree of Mary is our salvation! Matt 1:21 Lk 2:30 Jesus is our salvation! This reflects the immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus!
Lk 1:30 Mary found our salvation!
Lk 1:38 consented to our salvation!

A good tree (immaculate conception) Lk 1:49 God has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes!

A Good tree cannot bear bad fruit!
A biblical principle approved by Jesus even though He knew it would be used to defend His sinless mother!


Cannot give enough glory to Mary!

Lk 2:32 a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Jesus is the fruit of Mary!
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, Mary is the mother of the light of the world and if the son receives glory Mary receives glory, if the sin is holy Mary is holy!

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit!

If Jesus is the fruit of Mary and the glory of Israel then so is Mary!

A good tree must bear good fruit!
 
THERE IS NO MENTION OF GRACE IN THAT VERSE. PERIOD.
I thought you were a “Bible alone” Christian? Hummmmm!

Lk 1:28 And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed be thou among women.

That’s a Protestant version too!

Wycliffe Bible

 
Did not raise her to equality with Jesus !
Jesus is eternal uncreated God the source of all good grace and truth

Mary is the means God used to bring the grace of salvation to us!
Lk 1:28 full of grace / blessed
Lk 1:30 found our salvation
Lk 1:43 mother of God
Lk 1:45 faithful
Lk 1:49 immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus

Relic to honor the saints and martyrs who died for Christ not to worship them

Honor, prayer, devotion, and veneration are not adoration or worship

Once and for all the 1st commandment

Only God may be worshipped!
Can you imagine the glory you would have bestowed on the Lord Jesus Christ if you had been raising Him up and giving Him the glory you have been aiming at Mary all this time ?
Mary has become a distraction to you.
 
No I just want to show that scripture does not list the Ten Commandments so fundamentalists can stop saying idolatry is against the quote second commandment when really it’s the first

Ten Commandments

Ex 20

Scripture has no list (1, 2, 3, etc.) of the Ten Commandments

According to subject matter or context:

First commandment: ex 20:2-6
One God

Second commandment: ex 20:7
God’s name

Third commandment: ex 20:8-11
God’s original sabbath

Fourth commandment: ex 20:12
Parents

Fifth commandment: ex 20:13
Murder

Sixth commandment: ex 20:14
Adultery

Seventh commandment: ex 20:15
Theft

Eighth commandment: ex 20:16
Lying

Ninth commandment: ex 20:17
Coveting

Separating the two about coveting makes sense!

Ninth: Thou shalt not covet Thy neighbors goods.

Tenth: Thou shalt not covet Thy neighbor’s wife.

As the authority of Christ in the church teaches!
Then Jesus was either a liar or ignorant when he told the scribe what was the first commandment in Matt 22:39-40 ..."And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
 
He is still her son

In the line of David the king the mother of the queen is king sits at his right hand a position of authority and intercedes with the king for the people

Lk 1:32-33 Jesus king in this line and a greater than solomon

1 kings 2: 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king. (Intercession)

19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.


Esther also interceded with the king for the salvation of her people
You have given the right hand seat to Mary when Jesus said He didn't know who would sit next to Him.
You are again falling into "mimicking the OT" trap.
The OT couldn't make men perfect then, and copying it won't make anyone perfect now.

A good tree must bear good fruit!
If a good tree can't bear bad fruit, what are sinners born from ?
Bad trees-false profits-fake religions.

Ready to talk about a real repentance from sin now ?
 
Today is holy Saturday, a day hope!

Faith: in the risen Lord
Hope: in His word that he would rise again on the third day
Charity: of christ who died for our salvation

Mary is the mother of hope!
All Saturdays are dedicated to Her and the virtue of hope, for she alone believed!

Lk 1:45
 
Can you imagine the glory you would have bestowed on the Lord Jesus Christ if you had been raising Him up and giving Him the glory you have been aiming at Mary all this time ?
Mary has become a distraction to you.
What does scripture say?

Lk 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Does this include you and me?

Romans 2:10
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Jn 17:22 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

2 Thessalonians 1:12
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 13:7
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
 
Then Jesus was either a liar or ignorant when he told the scribe what was the first commandment in Matt 22:39-40 ..."And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Those were the two great commandments not the Ten Commandments given to Moses
 
You have given the right hand seat to Mary when Jesus said He didn't know who would sit next to Him.
You are again falling into "mimicking the OT" trap.
The OT couldn't make men perfect then, and copying it won't make anyone perfect now.
Matt 20: 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Prepared for Mary the faithful one!
Lk 1:45
 
Are you going to opt for those instead of for a real, true, permanent, repentance from sin ?
I was thinking of you!
Who claim to be free from sin

True Christians practice the virtues of Jesus Christ!

Humility
Obedience
Faithfulness

Like St. Antipas the faithful martyr rev 2:13

Btw he was ordained a priest and consecrated a bishop by the apostle John
 
No.
Christianity isn't the life for a kamikaze.
If you have some verse or verses saying differently, please provide them.
Do you think I would ask if I didn’t?

Matthew 10:38

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Matthew 16:25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

John 12:24

25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

2 Tim 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 2:12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

Phil 1:29
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

1 pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

James 1:2-8
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing

Hebrews 12:4
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Galatians 5:24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1 Peter 2:20
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

Colossians 1:24
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind (lacking) of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

What’s lacking, our participation!
 
What does scripture say?

Lk 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Does this include you and me?
Yes it does.
Mary received a great honor from God.
Any honor from God is a blessing.
 
Matt 20: 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Prepared for Mary the faithful one!
Lk 1:45
LOL

True Christians practice the virtues of Jesus Christ!
Amen, and that casts out the sinners.
Humility
Obedience
Faithfulness
Right.
No liars, thieves, adulterers, or murderers, included there.
Like St. Antipas the faithful martyr rev 2:13

That is not in the bible, so is obviously from some ungodly source.

My suffering with Christ, (1 Peter 4:1), has already occurred.
If you have yet to "participate", it isn't too late time to do so.
