Who is Jesus's Mother? This is a question with ‘traps’ in the answer. She was a faithful Jew, maybe 15 years of age. She was a virgin as Isaiah had predicted 800 years prior, and Septuagint (written 300 years before Jesus’ birth) uses the word for ‘virgin’, not for ‘young woman’. So the Jews familiar with their Tenach would know a virgin birth is coming. Unfortunately, 300 years later, the leadership was entirely disinterested in these predictions. She was a descendant of David according to her genealogy. Now here's a side note: I enjoy watching The Chosen. It has helped bring the gospels Alive. But one major flaw is in its depiction of Mary as a part of Jesus's ministry and that wasn't the case. Do you understand what's going on in this scene? Mary and some of Jesus's brothers were there eagerly wanting to speak to Him, why? And why doesn't Jesus even slow down to chat with His family? Because the implication here is that they were there to talk Jesus down from what they saw as being 'too much’. Like it or not, many in Jesus's family didn't believe in or follow Him until after the Resurrection. Maybe they were concerned for his life, or that His work embarrassed them, whatever the reason, Mary and his brothers were there to stop Him and He knew it. He didn't bother trying to explain again. He didn't bother addressing their concerns, He just kept preaching. The exaltation of Mary into a position she doesn't hold, nor is there ever a biblical claim to verify this, it is anti-scriptural, and is an outright Satanic lie. Yes, she was an important person, a noble believer. But she was NOT born sinless. That is a catholic invention entirely. She offered a sin offering in Luke, meaning she had sinned as all people have. She did not remain a virgin as she had several children after Jesus's birth. Any answer claiming they weren't really born of Mary is another bold-faced catholic lie. Several generations later, a catholic scholar decided that a sinless Lord can't be born from a sinful mother and created Mary's need to be born sinless. She does not hear, accept or answer any prayers from any of the living. She can't. 1 Timothy says there is ONE mediator between God and man, the man, Christ Jesus. Adding another mediator is nothing more than idolatry. And today, many catholics consider her a co-mediator. Some have even considered her as a co-sacrifice with Jesus and have Jesus on one side of their crucifix and Mary being sacrificed on the other side of the crucifix. That is not only idolatry, that is blasphemy. An interesting comparison came about when an archeological expedition discovered a mother-son statue that initially was called Madonna and child by the catholics working on the dig. However, it turns out this statue and many others discovered later depicted not Mary and Jesus, but Queen Semiramis and Nimrod. It was an early cult worshipping the man, Nimrod who built the infamously doomed Tower of Babel. Although technically her husband, she began having idols built depicting him as her child and her as the reigning queen after his death. This was the early precursor to the cult of Roman Catholicism. 12:46-50 [46] While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. [47] [Someone said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You.”] [48] But Jesus replied to the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” [49] And extending His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold: My mother and My brothers! [50] For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother, and sister, and mother.”

Death is a crone who grins only when the pulse is weak, and smiles only in full when breathing stops. She grasps her dying globe and smiles—a grim madonna gloating on her sickly child. - CALVIN MILLER

“Of all the extraordinary women in Scripture, one stands out above all others as the most blessed, most highly favored by God, and most universally admired. Indeed, no woman is more truly remarkable than Mary. She was sovereignly chosen by God—from among all the women ever born—to be the singular instrument through which He would at last bring the Messiah into the world. Mary herself testified that all generations would regard her as profoundly blessed by God (Luke 1:48). This was not because she believed herself to be any kind of saintly superhuman, but because she was given such remarkable grace and privilege. Myths About Mary While acknowledging that Mary was the most extraordinary of women, it is appropriate to inject a word of caution against the common tendency to elevate her too much. She was, after all, a woman—not a demigoddess or a quasi-deiform creature who somehow transcended the rest of her race. The point of her “blessedness” is certainly not that we should think of her as someone to whom we can appeal for blessing; but rather that she herself was supremely blessed by God. She is never portrayed in Scripture as a source or dispenser of grace, but is herself the recipient of God’s blessing. Her Son, not Mary herself, is the fountain of grace (Psalm 72:17). He is the long-awaited Seed of Abraham of whom the covenant promise spoke: “In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 22:18). Various extrabiblical, religious traditions and many superstitious minds have beatified Mary beyond what is reasonable, making her an object of religious veneration, imputing to her various titles and attributes that belong to God alone. A long tradition of overzealous souls throughout history have wrongly exalted her to godlike status. Unfortunately, even in our era, Mary, not Christ, is the central focus of worship and religious affection for millions. They think of her as more approachable and more sympathetic than Christ. They revere her as the perfect Madonna, supposedly untouched by original sin, a perpetual virgin, and even co-redemptrix with Christ Himself. Catholic dogma teaches that she was taken bodily to heaven, where she was crowned “Queen of Heaven.” Her role today, according to Catholic legend, is mediatory and intercessory. Therefore, multitudes direct their prayers to her instead of to God alone—as if Mary were omnipresent and omniscient. As a matter of fact, many people superstitiously imagine that Mary regularly appears in various apparitions here and there, and some even claim that she delivers prophecies to the world through such means. This extreme gullibility about apparitions of Mary sometimes rises to almost comical proportions. In November 2004, a stale grilled-cheese sandwich sold for $28,000 in an eBay auction because the sandwich purportedly had an image of Mary supernaturally etched in the burn marks of the toast. A few months later, thousands of worshipers in Chicago built a makeshift shrine to Mary in the walkway of a freeway underpass because someone claimed to see an image of her in salt stains on the concrete wall of the abutment. No less than Pope John Paul II declared his total devotion to Mary. He dedicated his whole pontificate to her and had an M for Mary embroidered in all his papal garments. He prayed to her, credited her with saving his life, and even left the care of the Roman Catholic Church to her in his will. Rome has long fostered the cult of Marian devotion, and superstition about Mary is more popular today than it has ever been. So much homage is paid to Mary in Catholic churches around the world that the centrality and supremacy of Christ is often utterly obscured by the adoration of His mother. Who She Was All such veneration of Mary is entirely without biblical warrant. In fact, it is completely contrary to what Scripture expressly teaches (Revelation 19:10). But the tendency to make Mary an object of worship is nothing new. Even during Jesus’ earthly ministry, for example, there were those who showed undue reverence to Mary because of her role as His mother. On one occasion, Scripture says, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Jesus, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” His reply was a rebuke: “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it” (Luke 11:27–28). Mary herself was a humble soul who maintained a consistently low profile in the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life. Scripture expressly debunks some of the main legends about her. —John MacArthur Mary: Who She Was (And Wasn't) Profiles of Godliness MARY https://www.gty.org/blogs/B141201/mary-who-she-was-and-wasnt

Be very careful of the music and movies you watch. Many I mean many are demonic. Exercise great discernment on your entertainment. Nothing wrong with having entertainment, but content is what matters.This might shock you, but Taylor Swift is demonic. Madonna, Rihanna, Lil Nas, and many others are demonic. It's not just in metal music. It has penetrated the entire movie and music industry. Here is the frightening part, it's real easy to get demons in your life! Just reject Jesus, yes it's that simple and sad! That music and movies of demonic origin will let demons in your home. You were warned! And if your not saved, possible complete demon possession! Psalm 101:3 AMP I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path]; It will not grasp hold of me. Matthew 5:29-30 AMP If your right eye makes you stumble and leads you to sin, tear it out and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. [30] If your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Footnote: If you truly follow Jesus, you will sin at times. But if you don't follow Him, you will sin consistently. Amen!
