Revelation 12. Mary, Queen Of Heaven?

Image
Introduction     I have made it extremely clear within my previous Articles that I was formerly a Protestant, specifically a Lutheran. I now have no denomination at the moment of these writings but I am looking very closely at the Catholic Church and I am fairly set on inquiring what is required to join. Not only in the Lutheran Church but in every other denomination that is not part of the Ancient Churches, despise the Blessed Mother. They speak of her in respect when there are passages relating to her in the Bible, but out of it, they slander her to the point they seem to be making her out to be lower in worth then humans. I remember the continuous slander of the Catholic Church by my Lutheran church, telling me: " Catholics consider Mary a goddess! " I remember them also telling us about how Catholics give her a "blasphemous" title, The Queen of Heaven. I remember blindly following what I was told, I could give the excuse that I was young but that excuse is of no...

Introduction If you have been in Christian circles for a period of time, you have definitely came across different groups of Christians.  Non-denominationals , Pentecostals , Baptists , Lutherans , Anglicans , Methodists , Presbyterians , Nazarenes , Catholics , and Eastern Orthodox . All the groups I mentioned there besides the Catholics and Orthodox are called Protestants . If you are in any of these groups, you definitely have heard the discussions over Sola Fide , and the many arguments and debates over the topic. I being raised up as a Lutheran( WELS ), was a proud and devoted Protestant and believed all the lies I was told about Catholicism. It is a funny thing, that I believed a Lutheran would tell me what Catholics believe, and I believed it instead of asking a Catholic. You do not ask a Mechanic to tell you the intricate matters of Physics, yet if you did would you accept the Mechanic's answer as complete truth? Or would you try to get your answer to someone who deals in t...
