There has been this age on argument between the Catholic
Church and other denominations regarding their HONOURING Mary, mother of Jesus.
Here am going explain to the best of my ability logically the why it is not
wrong.
When you decided to honour
someone even as a society it is because the person has done something worthy of
emulation.
History place Mary at the age of
15 to 18 when she was betroth to Joseph be married, she was also a virgin,
firstly we see that it is pretty much hard to come by these days even at that
age bracket Mary was, am sure God didn’t wake up in the morning to throw a dice in other to select which of
the 10,000 virgins was to become the mother of his son, there had to be
something special about Mary that God loved, so please she is not just a road
Jesus had to use because as you can see he loved her.
Marry was to be married to Joseph
when the angel appeared to her and told her everything her response was “I am
the lords servant, be it done unto me according to your words” she made this
statement knowing the implications, ladies just put you self in her shoes, a
virgin about to be married tells her fiancé that she is PREGNANT, but still a
VIRGIN, and the HOLY SPIRIT is responsible plus the child she is carrying is
JESUS do you see how that sounds, but she had to stick to her story because it
was true, imagine what her friends, parent and people would have said about
Miss Goody Two Shoes, the shame she would have felt! But by the grace of God
Joseph was convinced and he continued with the marriage setting things right,
when she was almost due, the census came up and the heavily pregnant marry had
to travel with her husband by cattle days and night sitting, sitting
uncomfortably probably without a back rest, when they finally arrived Mary was
already due and looking for a place to stay and only God know how close she was
to birth. We can imagined how stinky the manger was.
Regarding the catholic honouring
and celebrating Mary, how wrong is that? Don’t we celebrate our mother on MOTHER’S
DAY and our fathers on FATHER’S DAY? Isn’t mother’s day more celebrated that father’s
day? Would Jesus be angry that we celebrate his mother? Didn’t he respect and
love her enough to perform miracle earlier than he would at the Marriage of
cana, he only did that because his mother interceded on the matter which is the
case with many young men and their mother and we are called Christians
(Chris-like, like Christ)
1 corinthians 6. 1-3
1.
Dare any of you, having a matter against
another, go to the law before the unjust and not before the saints?
2.
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
smallest matters
3.
Know ye not that we shall judge the angels? How
much more things that pertain to this life
So
if the catholics believe she a saint and pray to her to intercede, because of
her assumption into heaven, her life on earth, and her maintenance of virginity
after the birth of Christ which I know is in contest because of
Matthew 12:46 “while he was speaking to the people, behold
his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him”
The Catholics says they were is cousins
Ibo people have argued long that they are part of the lost
Hebrew tribe, similarities have been seen in there languages.. In ibo language
everyone of close relation is called brother or sister even if you don’t have
same parent, their isn’t really any word for cousin
John 19: 26-27
When
Jesus saw his mother there and the disciple he loved standing nearby, he said to
her “woman, here is you son” and to the disciple “here is your mother” from
that time this deciple took her to his home
If
he had brother why would he hand their mother over to a disciple????????
And about her being the mother of
God, if you are a believer in the trinity, God the father, God the son , and
God the holy spirit, well she is the mother of God the son
