- As the Mother of the Church, she is the one that
comforts the faithful. However, the Comforter is the
Holy Spirit.
ìAnd I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will
come to you [not Mary].î John 14:16-17 (emphasis mine)
ìBut 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.î John 15:26 (emphasis mine)
According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit is God.ìBut Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie
to the Holy GhostÖthou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.î
Acts 5:3; 4
ìFor there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.î 1 John 5:7
- Mary was a perpetual virgin. Meaning she never had
other children or had intimate relations with her
husband Joseph.
ìAnd (Joseph) knew her not [had intimate relations with her] till
she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name
JESUS.î Matthew 1:25 (emphasis mine)
ìAnd she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothesÖî Luke 2:7a (emphasis mine)
ìIs not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary?
and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And
his sisters, are they not all with us?î Matthew 13:55-56a
The very traditions and tenets surrounding the Roman goddess, like those
concerning the reincarnated sun child, are based on the ancient beliefs of sun god
worship.
