Catholic doctrine commands members to pray to the virgin Mary as the Mother of Mercy and the All Holy One. Catholics are taught Mary welcomes them at death and lead them to Jesus. Hundreds of Scriptures teach us to flee to God in prayer when trouble comes our way but not once does any Bible verse encourage us to pray to Mary. These are all man-made traditions that came from the minds of early church leaders. Satan corrupted the Roman Catholic church early on and for at least the last 1500 years the Catholic church has been under the sway of the powers of darkness. How else can you explain the fact that every single doctrine and sacrament of the church is in direct opposition to what it says in God’s Word?
Psalm 50:15 – Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.
Jeremiah 33:3 – Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
Ephesians 2:18 – For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 3:11-12 – According to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.
Catholic doctrine teaches that Mary is the Mediator, Advocate and Helper who intercedes on the behalf of all Catholics who pray to her. Supposedly Jesus is too busy to take the call Himself so it’s up to Mary to round up all the prayers and take them to Jesus. This is blasphemy and utter nonsense! How can God be too busy! In Scripture it’s clear Jesus is the only conduit to God the Father. We are to pray directly to God the Father in Jesus’ name. Think of all those faithful Catholics fervently praying to Mary, a mere human being, thinking their prayers are reaching God. Their prayers aren’t reaching God because they’re not following God’s instructions and therefore their prayers will not be answered. Praying to Mary is a wasted exercise. This was Satan’s intention all along.
Hebrews 8:6 – But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
1 Timothy 2:5 – For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
1 John 2:1 – My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
