Mary, The 'Mother of God'

  • Worship of Mary makes the sacrifice and blood of Christ of no effect, and puts her into His place.
  • Immaculate Conception - Mary herself was miraculously conceived without sin
  • Perpetual virginity - was always a virgin
  • Assumption - Never died

Doctrinal Contrast

  • Many are Catholic because it is convenient
  • Mary is given the place belonging to Christ (called the Mediatrix) - 1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:6
  • Mary is glorified more than Christ - Acts 4:12
  • Mary is the gate to Heaven instead of Christ - John 10:9
  • Mary is given the power of Christ - Matthew 28:18; Colossians 1:18
  • She is the peacemaker (instead of Jesus Christ our peace) - Ephesians 2:13-14; John 16:23-24
