Catholicism Versus God’s Word Regarding Idolatry

Especially Regarding Mary

 
It is not difficult to discern idolatry, if you’re not blind to it. Catholicism has errored by adopting church fathers idolatrous teachings, and passing them off as true doctrine to their faithful when they are actually against God.
 
Look at The Glories of Mary” written by one of the most esteemed Doctors of the Catholic Church, and you will see the very roots of mariology in all its idolatrous glory, in the QUOTES of many of your CHURCH FATHERS, and Popes, and how they escalated in IDOLATRY towards a false image of Mary (not the true beloved Mary of scripture), placing her where only GOD should be; making her their ONLY hope, and salvation and even their savior. Worse than idolatry … it is heresy! It will open your eyes to the great Catholic lie, “We don’t worship Mary, we only venerate her.” Look how they twist and rewrite even the passages of scripture, replacing God with Mary. I’ve given you their version, and God’s. Here is just a small taste:


CATHOLICISM – “God has determined to give grace only through Mary’s hands.” – St Ildephonsus
 
GOD’S WORD – “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17)


CATHOLICISM – “O Mary, you do so much for me .. because you have saved me from eternal death. All I have, I owe to you.” – Author
 
GOD’S WORD – “The name of Jesus Christ .. for there is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)


CATHOLICISM – “Jesus says No one comes to me unless my MOTHER draws him by her prayers.” – Richard of St. Lawrence
 
GOD’S WORD – “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him.” (John 6:44)


CATHOLICISM – “God says to Mary “The world is in your hands.” He says to us, “Go to Mary”, “God has desired that He will grant no graces without her intercession.” – St. Bernard
 
GOD’S WORD – “This is the WILL of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and BELIEVES in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:40)
“Therefore Jesus is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” (Heb 7:25)


CATHOLICISM – “Mary, our salvation is in your hands.” “Everyone’s salvation depends on their being favored and protected by Mary.” – Cassian
 
GOD’S WORD – “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.” (1 Thess 5:9-10)


CATHOLICISM – “Mary is the WHOLE FOUNDATION of my hope.” -St. Bernard
 
GOD’S WORD – “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor 3:11)


CATHOLICISM – “O Lady, in you I place ALL MY HOPE and I expect my salvation.” – St. John Damascene
 
GOD’S WORD – “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)


CATHOLICISM – “Mary is the WHOLE HOPE of our SALVATION.” – St. Thomas Aquinas
“O Mary, we have NO HOPE of salvation except through YOUR means.” – St. Ephrem
“For these reasons, the Church calls her “our hope” – Author
 
No .. Only Christ is our Hope and our salvation. This heretical, apostate, Catholic teaching will not save you. Please please read your bibles!
 
GOD’S WORD – “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord JESUS CHRIST, OUR HOPE!” – (1 Tim 1:1)
 
Paul says, “Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” – (2 Tim 2:10). Only HE is our hope, and our salvation, our Lord of Glory.
