The Immaculate Conception Deception
The Immaculate Conception Deception
“This blasphemous dogma [Mary’s sinlessness] detracts from the sinlessness of Christ, who ALONE was born of a virgin and immaculate. The Bible nowhere says Mary was sinless. It says ‘all have sinned and come short of the glory of God’ – Romans 3:23…
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
The only exception is the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is ‘holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens’ – Hebrews 7:26…
“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;”
Mary knew her own sin and acknowledged her need of a Saviour – Luke 1:47…
“And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.”
None of the Lord’s Apostles exalted Mary; none of them applied to her such titles as sinless, immaculate, ever-virgin, Mother of God, Blessed Virgin, Holy Queen, Queen of Heaven, Our Lady, Co-Redemptress, Immaculate Virgin, etc. The Apostles taught us that Jesus Christ ALONE is the Mediator between God and men – 1 Timothy 2:5…
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
The Roman Catholic Church’s doctrine of Mary is blasphemous error. Mary cannot answer prayer. She cannot aid in man’s salvation. She cannot intercede with Christ in behalf of God’s people. She is not Queen of Heaven. The only Queen of Heaven mentioned in Scripture is an Old Testament idol – Jeremiah 44:18-19…
“But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?”
Every prayer addressed to Mary is idolatry. If the Roman Catholic Church did not hold any false doctrine other than its dogmas pertaining to Mary, the Bible would require us to reject it as a false church on this basis alone.” — David Cloud – 6/20/96 FBNS report
