You didn't "love" Mary when being a Christian? Love does not mean worship, or to disobey Jesus. I love Mary enough to listen to Jesus Christ.

Guess no one could answer that one.

Jesus Christ is our only intercessor. Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

The questions isn't do we worship Mary or pray through her.... the question is why do pray to marry. She was amazing but you must realize that Mary does not hear us. There is nothing in scripture that tells us she should be used to intercede. The Bible does say that we have a direct line to The Lord and no need to have a relay communication. Also Jesus said to let the dead bury the dead. Focus on God Mary has passed and has no ears to hear you. No scripture says that she was given special abilities to intercede. Search in your heart.

I'll give you two reasons why Protestants don't ask before accusing 1. Paul Simon's "The Boxer" 1968ish? first stanza last two lines - "Man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" and 2. Will Rogers - "it isn't what you know that gets you in trouble, but, what you think you know that just isn't so".

Why do we have to ask Mary and the saints to intercede for us when we have Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and men? (1 Timothy‬ ‭2:5‬) Asking other believers (on earth) to pray for us is certainly biblical (2 Corinthians 1:11; Ephesians 1:16; Philippians 1:19; 2 Timothy 1:3). The apostle Paul asks other Christians to pray for him in Ephesians 6:19. BUT the Bible nowhere mentions anyone asking someone in heaven to pray for him or her. The Bible nowhere describes anyone in heaven praying for anyone on earth and gives absolutely no indication that Mary or the saints can hear our prayers. Mary and the saints are not omniscient. Even glorified in heaven, they are still finite beings with limitations. Whenever the Bible mentions praying to or speaking with the dead, it is in a negative context involving activities the Bible strongly condemns (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13; 1 Samuel 28:7-19). Praying to Mary or the saints is completely different from asking a friend here on earth to pray for us. Asking people on earth to pray for us has a strong biblical basis; asking the heavenly saints or Mary to pray has no biblical basis whatsoever.

I don't understand we would pray to Mary as an intercessor when scripture never advices us to but clearly states that Jesus is our great intercessor and through Jesus we pray to our heavenly Father what I don't understand is why we need an intercessor to pray to our intercessor? We pray to God in Jesus name and not in Mary's name. According to the Bible.

If you look at the bloodline of David, Mary and Joseph were his descendants, David was called a man after God's own heart because he loved God's Law. Then why do you not consider David and Joseph Even Jesus said when He was told His mother and Brothers are looking for you, He said, here is my mother and here is my brother's pointing to His disciples Jesus considered all who do the Will of His Father as his mother and Brothers. Mary was bound to Jesus because she was His mother, but she knew what His purpose was

Christ is the only Mediator. He died for our sins and so that we have direct access to God, through Him. The immaculate conception didn’t stay until 1854. And, it wasn’t until 1950 that they said Mary’s bodily assumption into heaven. Speechless!

Thank you!

You are correct. Mary in the Catholic Church is Isis and she does intercede on your behalf. She intercedes your relationship with God and Christ and sends you straight to Satan.

Why would you use Mary as an intermediary when you can go directly to Christ? Jesus even knows your prayer and needs before you even ask. Philippians 4:5 let your requests be made known to God; Matthew 6:6 Jesus says- go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father; while Steven is being stoned, he sees Jesus on the right hand of the Father and talks to Him. , Paul says to call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus gives us The Lords Prayer and there are so many more examples. Direct, a straight line, is what the Bible shows us. And I’m not saying that you should not pray for others because we all should but my prayer for someone else is direct to God.

Here is a good example out of many: In Matt 6, Jesus tells us that everytime we pray to pray to our Father that sees in secret and rewards us openly, that knows what we need of before we ask Him. We also learn from the Apostles that we have one intercessor for our prayers, The Holy Spirit itself: Romans 8:26-27 King James Version 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

When a Catholic prays the Hail Mary, they are asking Mary to pray for them. Most of the Hail Mary is in the Bible word for word and spoken by an Angel. God didn't condemn the Angel Gabriel for saying, "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee." We are asking her to pray for us. The Rosary, is a contemplative prayer, focusing on the life of Jesus Christ at different points in directly from the Bible, a pilgrimage through the eyes of the Savior's mother from the Annunciation by the Angel Gabriel, through Jesus's life, death, and resurrection. Mary is the ONLY human to know him from conception until his ascension to the Father. 4) There is nothing contrary to the doctrines/teachings of the Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles. I can assure you there is no Catholic that has ever loved, respected, or honored Mary more than Jesus Christ and His Apostles.

It bothers me whenever I tell a “Christian” that we ask Mary for prayers, and they respond “no you pray to her”. It’s like are they actually listening to what I am saying? Obviously not. They’re just trying to reaffirm their delusions.

The idea that God chose Mary to conceive the Son of God in her womb is indeed a profound and central aspect of the Christian faith. It signifies a great blessing on her, as she became a vessel for God's ultimate purpose of salvation on earth. However, it is crucial to differentiate between acknowledging Mary's role in the divine plan and worshiping her. It is undeniable that Catholics worship Mother Mary. Just to escape arguments, they often say we don't worship; instead, we pray to Mary for intercession. Just look into the Bible and see that this contradicts the biblical teaching of worshiping God alone. The presence of a statue of Mother Mary inside the church and the act of bowing down to them, as well as burning candles in front of them, are cited as examples of what appears to be worship. The question that arises is whether such practices align with the teachings and actions of Jesus and his disciples, especially after his death and resurrection. It is notable that there is no explicit biblical evidence of the disciples engaging in similar acts of veneration toward Mary or any other figures. The emphasis in the Bible seems to be on worshiping God directly. Don't you think that such practices might stray from the fundamental commandments of God? Isaiah 45:5 says, "I am the LORD, and there is none else; there is no God beside me." And any practices that may appear to elevate Mary to divine status could be seen as potentially conflicting with this command. *AND IT'S A SIN AGAINST GOD... REPENT*

We also learn that we have one intercessor for our prayers, because we often do not know what we should pray for as we ought... the Holy Spirit itself! Nevermind that praying to Mary or anyone else other than God is idolatry!... Just the thought of thinking it is okay to pray to Mary or others is proof by implication that you do not know or understand the Scriptures.

Mary is not omnipresent like God. 2. You use the example of one asking others to pray for them or intercede to God on his/her behalf. But do we request the same from the very same people once they are no longer alive? No. 3. Christ already redeemed us on the cross. It is already done.

Also, here is a good verse that proves Romanism has no excuse to why they pray to Mary for her intercession: Romans 8:26-27 King James Version 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Mary lived a perfect life? Doesn’t that make her equal to God?

Mary doesn't hear your prayers and would be appalled that anyone would pray to her or treat her like she is some sort of sinless deity. I have been in Catholics houses that have huge alters to Mary which they pray to with candles. It's literally pagan worship and is so sad to see from people who call themselves Christians.

Catholics do not worship Virgin Mary. We love, honor and respect her as God does. We ask her for prayers like we ask our own mother, family and friends. Virgin Mary is our heavenly mother Rev 12:17. Prayer comes from the Latin word precarious which means to request. We pray directly to God, but it helps to have as many prayers as we can. Who better to ask? God said where two or more are gathered, He’s there amongst them. Besides, she is with Him in Heaven as she has eternal life.

@@kkuster1 Thank you for your reply. I hope you don't mind if I seek further clarification. You say that Jesus is the only mediator between God and Man, which Catholics absolutely agree with (It is written repeatedly in our Catechism). You say that 'to ask for intercession for many would be to deny that Jesus is enough, that he's less than capable to mediate or intercede for us.' I can see what you mean but Catholics believe scripture makes it clear that we SHOULD intercede for others. Some examples include the following: Philippians 1:19 'For I know that through your prayers AND the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance' (Here, the word, AND, makes it clear that intercession by others can contribute to a person's 'deliverance') Colossians 4:3 "At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ' (Here, Paul is openly asking others to intercede for him. Why doesn't he ask Christ himself? The answer, of course, is that he did, but he also knew that the prayers of others would build on his own prayers) These passages (and others) show that the early Church openly taught that we should intercede towards Christ on the behalf of others. Catholics believe that this is not diminishing Christ, it is acknowledging that he wants us to be a COMMUNITY of believers. It certainly does NOT suggest that the person we are asking to pray for us is, on any level, as divine as Christ. Now I know some believe that Mary and the saints are 'Dead' and can not hear us. That is a seperate issue, and one that I will be happy to engage in if necessary.

It is not Mary who sits at the right hand of the Father but it is Jesus our high priest who makes intercession for us and we can go directly to Him in prayer and have confidence that He hears us. We have to look at what the scriptures say since those words are God's words given through the Holy Spirit working through the Apostles.

Satan: "Did God actually say, 'Do not worship idols.'?" Also Satan: "Let's don't call it 'worship,' let's call it 'veneration.'" Dictionary: Latin venerātus, past participle of venerārī to solicit the goodwill of (a god), worship, revere, verbal derivative of vener-, stem of venus, presumably in its original sense “desire” from the ancient proto-Italian word "wenezāōr" meaning "to worship" Catholics, the people who were alive at the time of the birth of this teaching in the 4th century knew exactly the meaning of the word "venerate." It comes from their own veneration of their Greek gods. In fact, the words itself is tied to the Greek god, Venus. Do you not understand that the ancient Romans venerated lesser gods to reach to the higher god/s? This teaching is idolatry, heresy, and blasphemy brought into the churches of the 4th century as a way to assimilate Greek gods with Christianity and bring in more people into the Romanized, politicized church. 1 Timothy 2: "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Hebrews 7:25: "Consequently, he [Jesus] is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."

You are usurping God's power and undermining this relationship that is formed by prayer by not praying directly to God. Mary and the Saints have done their part. Pray to your father now. Anything else is a demonic deception. 2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." Clearly, Catholics have not read this chapter. It would explain your predicament.

Of course not! Now we worship Joseph! Ha ha just kidding… we worship God alone! (latria). Mary and Joseph only get hyperdulia and protodulia. 😊

1 Timothy 2:5 KJV “There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus.” Repent or perish. 🙏🏼

People clearly need to know more about how ancient civilizations worked. From the beginning up to Jesus’s time, mothers were the intercessors. The kings of all married so many women, and had so many concubines that it was difficult choosing a queen without angering the family of all those women that were not chosen as queen or principal consort. There are very few exceptions in the history of humanity until recent times. That’s why the king’s mother usually took upon herself to take care of her sons home and keep the peace inside the harems and amongst the servants. That’s why Mary is considered a queen, because she gave birth to THE KING of kings.

Where in the Bible does it state Mary or Apostles hear your prayer before the LORD does? Why would intercession be preferable when Jesus ripped the veil of the Tabernacle and I can pray directly to Him?

@srich7503

Question #1 - Heb 12:1 Question #2 - its not “preferable” its just another prayer and extra devotion. No body in the Catholic church says you should not go directly to Jesus. There are many people that do not pray to Mary. Not sure why you would not talk to the mother of our Lord, but it sure is not mandatory.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, would be grieved in her soul if she knew how the Roman Catholic church has venerated her equal to or above Christ as a "Co-Redeemer" with Christ, her Son. Mary was a sinner as you or I and recognized her own need for a saviour in her magnificat, "My soul rejoices in God, my Saviour". Mary was singled out by Almighty God as a highly favoured, virtuous woman, who He chose to be the vessel used to bring Jesus Christ into The World. A person does not have to, nor can they say prayers of intercession to Mary to gain favour with God or Jesus. God will not hear such petitions. We are to pray ( To God The Father, Through Jesus The Son, by the power of The Holy Spirit.) The three persons of the trinity glorify each other as one God in three persons [God The Father, God The Son, God The Holy Spirit - one God forever. Amen! Jesus said, "I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father but by Me!!" Jesus IS the express image of God The Father. As Jesus said to Philip, "If you have seen Me, you have seen The Father!" There is only one mediator between God and man; that is Jesus Christ The Righteous. It was Jesus whos death on the cross and the shedding of His precious blood, which satisfied God's Justice for the sins of all mankind - It wasn't Christ's mother Mary who died for your sins that gives a person Salvation, but the one time, blood-shed, atoning sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf that God recognizes when we pray. Mary cannot hear, answer or intervene on your behalf to God with our prayers!. It is Christ who died for your sins, not His mother! She said , "All generations shall call me blessed!" That is true and we need to have love and respect for who Mary was - Always!! But to pray to her or say a rosary to her, asking for intercession on your behalf or mine, insults The Holy Sprit of Grace and minimizes what Jesus Christ did on our behalf as not being good enough to save us. It's okay to believe in something; just have the Holy Scriptures to back up what you believe. If you believe Mary is an intercessor for you, hears your petitions, or is co-redeemer, equal with her Son, you need to repent of this sinful belief against Almighty God and ask The Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to your heart, according to the truth found in Holy Scriptures and God will forgive you; however, you must ALWAYS pray to God The Father, through Jesus Christ The Son, by the power of The Holy Spirit - there is no other formula of prayer other than this by which we have a saving relationship with Almighty God. We are always to Glorify Jesus for what He has done for sinners on Calvary's Cross - Not to Mary or dead saints, or relics or supposed visions. The enemy (the devil) always speaks through fear and confusion. But The Holy Spirit ALWAYS speaks truth and clarity and peace. It is He who convicts us of sin and our need to confess our sin(s) to God The Father, in the name of Jesus The Son, by the Power of The Holy Spirit. When you ask God's forgiveness, He looks at you through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ and if you believe on Jesus Christ as your saviour and that God has raised Him from the dead, God then sees you as perfect and forgiven because He is now looking at you through Christ finished work and shed blood on The Cross on your behalf, not by anything we can do in our own merit. All our works are as filthy rags before God. That is why Christ's perfect blood sacrifice is the only thing God will recognize. May God Bless you today with His truth, power, clarity and forgiveness, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It's really sad listening to the poor excuses and cognitive dissonance on this podcast! Here is a prayer to Mary from a Catholic website. You tell me if this is just "veneration" or blasphemous worship: MARY IMMACULATE, STAR OF THE MORNING MARY IMMACULATE, STAR OF THE MORNING CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION BEGAN, DESTINED TO BRING, THROUGH THE LIGHT OF YOUR DAWNING, CONQUEST OF SATAN AND RESCUE TO MAN. REFRAIN: BEND FROM YOUR THRONE AT THE VOICE OF OUR CRYING LOOK TO THIS EARTH WHERE YOUR FOOTSTEPS HAVE TROD STRETCH OUT YOUR ARMS TO US, LIVING AND DYING, MARY IMMACULATE, MOTHER OF GOD.

1 Timothy 2:5 “There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus.” 1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that JESUS is the CHRIST. Such a person is the ANTICHRIST -denying the FATHER and the SON. JESUS is only way , truth and the life... Mary is blessed and obedient to GOD unlike the people who pray to her.. she herself will be against you for not obeying GOD who said JESUS is the only mediator ... any person who denies this is Antichrist...that's what the bible is saying Read the bible and be saved

Catholics don't pray TO Mary, eh? I think they call what these guys are doing, "Gaslighting". The Memorare: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen. Petitioning something other than God is considered idol worship. You would never find a Jew, for example, praying to King David for his intercession. That practice is strictly of pagan origins and it is not of the God of the bible.

Idol worship is believing the material item itself is a God.. You people really are perplexing. Do you not think that Jesus would likely be okay with others adoring and loving his mother? Do you not think God the Father would be a wee bit miffed if you are actually on the side of an argument over honoring the mother of His only begotten Son. Mary is defined through her Son and so, She is the Queen of Heaven just as King David's mother was the Queen, not one of his wives. Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant, as she carried the Word Made Flesh, Mannah from Heaven, and the staff of Aaron (priesthood) all in her womb which were the actual items in the Ark of the Covenant but this time in the flesh. The Ark had the power to destroy any army.. crush the enemies of God's people.. Are you saying that those who believed that and taught the power in the Ark of the Covenant were idol worshipers? David was sure excited when the Ark was in his presence, I believe he danced and offered sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord. Why, because he like gold? lol... Not only that, he had a pretty dope PROCESSION OF THE ARK, similar to that of the people in South America when they hold a procession with an image of the Virgin Mary or a Eucharistic procession. What about the staff/pole with the bronze serpent which the Israelites were instructed to look upon to heal them and protect them from the serpents? Were they worshiping an idol ? Were they healed by the object or by Christ? What about Jesus telling the man to go bathe in the water 7 times, was the power in the water? All mentioned above whether Mary the Mother of God, the material items of the Old Testament, or the consecrated Eucharist obtain their power through their relationship with Christ and with the Father through Jesus Christ.

@@catherinemcdavid1533 - Christians and Jews don't worship objects. When the children of Israel worshiped and danced before that image made in the wilderness, how did God feel about that? Were they worshiping the material item itself or what that object represented? Obviously, it was what the object represented - the god who delivered them from Egypt. Wasn't that god YHWH? I think it was. I think that's what they were told. I think that's what they believed. Exodus 32:4-5 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord. "Tomorrow is a great feast to YHWH". But wait, it was a statue of a calf (or calves). It represented Yahweh so what's the big deal? They were NOT worshiping gold or whatever, they were worshiping Yahweh. If you read the apocryphal book, The Wisdom of Solomon, (part of the Roman Catholic canon) it goes into great detail about the evolution (or devolution) of idol worship. Bowing down to any "holy object" is forbidden by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Why are Catholics taught to genuflect in a church building? They are bowing down to the objects of the altar. Why did mom take us kids to church to kneel before a big statue of Mary and then light a votive candle? It's all a form of idol worship. Nobody is taking anything away from that noble Nazarene girl who bore the Son of God. Indeed, she is the blessed mother of my Lord. But to build myth upon myth and raise her to the status of deity is inappropriate and blasphemous. And this pagan worship is all through Catholicism. Why not come back to the original form of Christianity? What was wrong with the faith of our fathers? Why is apostolic teaching so foreign to Catholicism? The short answer is, Power. There is no carve-out for a clergy in the New Testament - it doesn't exist. All of Catholic doctrine exists to support a clergy elite. You don't find any of that in the New Testament. Think about it, if Rome adopted New Testament theology then all of those power positions would immediately go away. There'd be no Vatican City, there'd be no papacy, there'd be no clergy. All you would have left is the rule of the word of God as delivered to the first century apostles and prophets. Think of all the wealth and power that would simply vanish away. You can't serve two masters. You cannot serve God and also mammon. You will wind up loving one and hating the other or you will hold to one and despise the other. As soon as the church got in bed with the empire, that was the end of it. That was the apostasy that has lasted for over 1500 years. Jesus promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. If you look at the bloody history of Catholicism, it's easy to see how the gates of hell have indeed prevailed against that corrupt organization for centuries. Obviously, therefore, Catholicism cannot be the church of Christ.

@@GizmoFromPizmo The children of Israel in the instances I referred to were not worshipping a golden calf. Worshiping the golden calf was condemned by Moses. A calf in relationship to Christ is still a calf. The bronze serpent on the pole which protected and healed the Israelites when they looked to it carried the healing power in the flesh as the healing power of given when we look to Christ on the Cross to heal our souls/save us from sin. God did not condemn them gazing upon the bronze serpent on the pole, they were instructed to do so. To honor, revere, and acknowledge Mary and the Ark of the COVENANT as sacred, holy, and powerful is not idol worship. Both, the Ark of the Covenant and Mary, because they were created either by specific instructions given to man (The Ark of the Covenant) or specifically fashioned/created by God (Mary) for a sacred and holy purpose are not to be looked at as an idol. Because they were created for the purpose of Christ and their identity defined and revealed through Christ, the Ark of the Covenant is no regular box and Mary is no ordinary woman. I invite you to read your Bible, pray, then please give me a logical and/or spiritual explanation as to why The Ark of the Covenant, a box built to the specifics given by God, layered with gold with two gold angels on top with their wings stretched forward, OVERSHADOWING the Ark... an ark which held inanimate objects including, a pot of manna (The Bread that came down from heaven), The 2 stone tablets with the 10 Commandments (The Word of God), and the staff of Aaron (The Priesthood-Aaronic, lower priesthood) was considered sacred, holy, and powerful, so powerful it could crush any army. The Ark of the Covenant, considered so sacred and powerful that anyone touching it who was not a Levitical priest called to handle it, DIED INSTANTLY. But Mary, the Ark of the Covenant in the FLESH, FASHIONED AND CREATED SPECIFICALLY BY GOD to carry The Bread of Everlasting Life, The Word of God, and the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood in the FLESH (not as inanimate objects) is somehow NOT SACRED, HOLY, and POWERFUL by virtue of her relationship (just as the ark) to Christ.

@@catherinemcdavid1533 - Okay, let me hold you right there. Nowhere in the scriptures is Mary referred to as the Ark of the Covenant. This is some fiction made up centuries after the apostles delivered the faith to the church of Christ. In fact, the entire Catholic mythology is based on such inventions. Departing from the word of God is warned against in the scriptures and the Catholic religion wanders far from that faith once delivered. Proper hermeneutics is exegetical in nature. Reading crap into the bible is considered cheating. Nobody treats any other legal document that way but charlatans do that to the bible all the time. So, whereas, your religion is free to go in any and every direction, mine does not have that kind of freedom. I am bound by Thus Saith the Lord. This is why I cannot say things like "Mary is the Ark of the Covenant" because such a statement has no support in law, canon, divine authority. I'm quite sure Catholicism gets stuff like that from Egyptian mythology and the like but that's the nature of the Empire's religion. Roman paganism has long subsumed the local gods and customs into its own pantheon and mythology. Rome's religion is all we have in the Catholic Church. The names and places may have undergone some cosmetic changes - to get past the casual observer - but at it's core, it's just the same old paganism with a fresh coat of paint. So, I'll resume reading your reply but I already know where it's going. Know this: You cannot justify departing from the word of God by holding up a train load of 3rd and 4th century paganism. It doesn't carry any weight.

Mary lived an immaculate perfect life!? That's the entire problem with your argument! There is no one righteous, not even one. We are all born into sin. How could she be without sin if we're all born with sin? The only one to ever live a sinless life was Jesus.

Why do catholics have shrines and altars for Mary? Why sing hymns and kiss and bow to her image? Why ask her for protection and blessings? Why is there a crowning day for her? Do all catholics consencrate themselves to her? Is it taught in all catholic churches that she went to heaven after 3 days? It's believed she never sinned and was a perpetual virgin, contrary to the bible. She's now reigning as the Queen of heaven, Mother of Jesus, therefore equal to God the Father?

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Peter, and Paul were not Roman Catholics. They were all Jewish. The first non-Jewish believer in the gospel is Cornelius in Acts chapter ten. Every believer before Acts chapter ten is 100 percent Jewish. When the LORD commanded Peter to go preach the gospel to Cornelius Peter didn't want to go because he knew that Cornelius was not Jewish. The Bible, Old Testament and New Testament, was written by Jews. The LORD commanded Peter three times, "Feed My sheep" (John 21:15-17). Therefore, Peter gave the keys to the kingdom directly to the sheep and not to the magisterium. And Peter wrote to the sheep (2 Peter 1:5-11) and said, “...add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:5-11). In other words, Peter says that if we (the sheep) do what he says to do that this will open the doorway to heaven "abundantly" to the sheep. Peter has been feeding the sheep by sharing the keys to the kingdom with anyone who will do what he tells them to do in 2 Peter 1:5-11 and the entrance to the kingdom will be abundantly ministered to them. And they will never fall. So, why doesn't the church that says that they hold the keys to the kingdom teach their people how to have the power to live holy and the power to never fall? If you are willing to give totalitarian control of your thinking to the magisterium or to any religious group you have blinded yourself and cannot even see the scriptures that are right in front of you. On the day of judgment you will not be able to point at someone else and say, "It's their fault." It is your individual responsibility to know the scriptures. "And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest" (Hebrews 8:11). Peter by his personal example never acted as if having the keys to the kingdom meant asserting authority over other people. For example in Acts 15 when a very important matter was to be decided before the assembly the final verdict was given by James and not by Peter (Acts 15:19). Paul gave commandments to the churches he established and not Peter (1 Corinthians 7:17 and 16:1). Also, Paul did not take his orders from Peter. In fact Paul rebuked Peter to his face. “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed” (Galatians 2:11). The LORD commanded us saying, "...Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. BUT SO SHALL IT NOT BE AMONG YOU: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all" (Mark 10:42-44). ... ... ...
