Jesus said, "Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt 11:28.

No doubt, Mary was a godly woman who as a virgin gave birth to our Savior, but there is no place in Scripture that shows Jesus pointing to His mother as anything more than that. Praying to Mary is idolatry. I'm sorry if this hurts feelings, but we must be diligent to speak truth.

But the dems are having a field day making fun of them.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Galatians 4:4

Mary, being made a woman, being made under the condemnation of the law in the image of Adam (Genesis 5:3), is sleeping.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Psalm 146:4, Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5, Job 7:9-10, Psalms 115:17, Genesis 3:19

She, like the stone or wood statue, can neither speak nor hear.

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Job 14:12, John 11:10-14

Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God has immortality (1 Timothy 6:16), and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul comprised of dust and a breathe (Genesis 2:7), returns to dust as the last breath is returned to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the Lord, death only need be a short sleep.

So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Nehemiah 8:8, Ephesians 4:15-16, 2 Peter 1:16

The cunningly devised fable of the immortality of the soul, being one of the three lies of the Devil (Genesis 3:1-5) aside, what does the Bible say about the dangers of idolatry, being the worship of the creation along side, in the place of, or even over, the Creator?

Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:2-5

And where does the "sacred heart" terminology come through to modern times? It has been passed down from Nimrod and Semiramis worship, through pagan roman mythology of Bacchus, down to papal roman doctrine:

In a time before the creation of mankind, the twelve Titans cause Bacchus, Jupiter’s beautiful son, to become fascinated by his own image in a mirror. Enthralled by himself, Bacchus is seized by the Titans. They kill him, tear him to pieces, boil the pieces in water, and afterwards roast and eat them. This grieves all his loved ones, hence his name, from bakhah, ‘to weep’ or ‘lament.’

The Bible shares the origins of this weeping in a story more ancient than that of Bacchus: “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. (Ezekiel 8:14)”. These people were an abominable people working a work of evil in the dark, where human eyes would not regularly peer. Despite having an outward appearance of piety, their heart would lament over some fantastical mythology written for gods of stone who neither hear nor speak.

The strewn body parts of Bacchus become the four elements of matter. One of Bacchus’ sisters, the virgin Minerva, rescues his sacred heart from the four elements and places it before Jupiter in Heaven. From Heaven, Jupiter hurls thunderbolts at his son’s murderers and reduces the Titans to ashes. The rains further reduce the ashes, mingling with the four elements, to slime.... Eternal Bacchus is resurrected as the flaming Sun. He is E PLURIBUS UNUM, One from Many, a resurrection symbolized by the pentagram, the one rising out of the four to make five. This, says Manly Hall, is ‘the magical formula of man.’

Not only do they adopt the sacred heart terminology and the weeping for tammuz, a form of Nimrod and Semiramis (Devil) worship which the Bible warns against, but so too do they adopt the moniker queen of heaven:

From the Encyclical “Ineffabilis Deus”, the roman catholic church declared, ex cathedra (with the highest authority, seen as unquestionable and infallible), the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854:

Let all the children of the Catholic Church, who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours. With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love, let them continue to venerate, invoke and pray to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without original sin. Let them fly with utter confidence to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears. Under her guidance, under her patronage, under her kindness and protection, nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless. Because, while bearing toward us a truly motherly affection and having in her care the work of our salvation, she is solicitous about the whole human race. And since she has been appointed by God to be the Queen of heaven and earth, and is exalted above all the choirs of angels and saints, and even stands at the right hand of her only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner. What she asks, she obtains. Her pleas can never be unheard.

And what does the Bible say about this?

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18

Interestingly enough, this article is sourced from Breitbart. What has Stephen Bannon recently been speaking about? Read it for yourself in the Jesuit magazine, America: https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2017/11/17/steve-bannon-st-ignatius-helped-me-get-sober

Let us read a part of their creed:

You have been taught your duty as a spy to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source: to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of protestants and heretics of every class and character as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities in Parliaments and legislatures, and in the Judiciaries and Conceals of the State and to 'be all things to all men' for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death. You have received all your instructions heretofore as a Novice, a Neophyte, and have served as a coadjutor, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been vested with all that is necessary to command in the army of Loyola in the service of the Pope.

And let us understand that this very same creed is still alive today. In a 2008 speech, pope Benedict XVI says:

In its history, the Society of Jesus has lived extraordinary experiences of proclamation and encounter between the Gospel and world cultures - it suffices to think of Matteo Ricci in China, Roberto De Nobili in India or of the “Reductions” in Latin America. And you are rightly proud of them. ... you must loyally take on the Church's fundamental duty to remain faithful to her mandate and to adhere totally... to the Magisterium's task of preserving the integral truth and unity of Catholic doctrine. This not only applies to the personal commitment of individual Jesuits: Only last week I myself benefited from the Spiritual Exercises [of Ignatius Loyola], together with my closest collaborators of the Roman Curia, under the guidance of a distinguished confrere of yours, Cardinal Albert Vanhoye.

In speeches made in 2006 and 2008, pope Benedict XVI clearly reminds the jesuit order of their fealty:

St Ignatius was a faithful servant of the Church, in which he saw and venerated the Bride of the Lord and the Mother of Christians. And the special vow of obedience to the Pope, which he himself describes as “our first and principal foundation” (MI, Series III, I., p. 162), was born from his desire to serve the Church in the most beneficial way possible. This ecclesial characteristic, so specific to the Society of Jesus, lives on in you and in your apostolic activities, dear Jesuits, so that you may faithfully meet the urgent needs of the Church today. I have invited you and also invite you today to reflect in order to rediscover the fullest meaning of your characteristic “fourth vow” of obedience to the Successor of Peter, which does not only involve the readiness to be sent on mission to distant lands but also - in the most genuine Ignatian spirit of “feeling with the Church and in the Church” - “to love and serve” the Vicar of Christ on earth with that “effective and affective devotion” which must make you his invaluable and irreplaceable collaborators in his service for the universal Church.

Be vary wary of where these cunningly devised fables come from, for they are nothing more than the traditions of men, as stubble to be burned in the fire:

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Corinthians 11:3-4,13-14

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 15:26

Beautiful song, wonderful harmony. What an amazing family that they can see and appreciate the little good that came out of this horrific disaster.

I'm Catholic, but that seems to be made from stone. What am I missing here?
