Who Is Mary?

0

Mary plays such a prominent role in the RCC, I was surprised to learn that the Bible says little about her. Certainly nothing to support the lengthly list of claims made by the RCC about Mary. Some of the claims made by the RCC about Mary simply aren’t in the Bible, others flat out contradict the Bible.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which became RCC dogma in 1854, is a holy day in the RCC. Many Catholics believe this is a celebration of Jesus being immaculately conceived, but it’s not. This RC feast day is in honor of Mary being immaculately conceived. The RCC claims Mary was born sinless and lived a sinless life all of her days.

But the Bible tells us

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

Mary herself says

“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior”. Luke 1:46-47

The Bible says nothing about Mary being sinless, and Mary herself admitted she was a sinner in need of a savior.

THE ASSUMPTION

In 1950, Pope Pius XII defined the Assumption of Mary as RCC dogma saying

“the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven.”

Again I ask why is the Bible silent about such a significant event? Are we to believe that Mary, like Jesus, didn’t die, but was assumed into heaven body and soul? In the Book of Genesis 5:24 we are told about a man the Bible says even less than it does about Mary, yet tells us that God took him directly to heaven.

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. Hebrews 11:5

The belief that Mary was assumed into heaven didn’t surface until sometime in the fifth century. That means the apostles, their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and two or three more generations didn’t practice belief in the assumption of Mary. It took another 1500 years for the RCC to make it dogma. Even the “tradition” the RCC uses to support many claims not found in the Bible doesn’t support The Assumption of Mary.

MARY MOTHER OF GOD

The image of Mary as Mother of God is directly related to the first official Marian dogma defined by the Church: Mary’s status as Mother of God. But Christianity teaches that God is eternal and that Jesus Christ has a pre-existent, divine nature. The idea that Mary is the mother of God in the sense that she was the source of God or somehow predated God or is herself part of the Godhead is patently unbiblical.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that

Jesus was “called in the Gospels “the mother of Jesus”.

The apostles and earliest church fathers knew this, and saw Mary as the Mother of Jesus in his humanity, not his divine nature. Sometime in the fourth century man started using the term Mother of God to refer to Mary. The RCC argues since Jesus is God that makes Mary “the mother of God”. It clearly is not the same. The term is misleading at best, and intentionally deceptive at worst.

CO-REDEEMER/MEDIATRIX/ADVOCATE

RCC Cardinals and Bishops worldwide have petitioned the Pope to declare a fifth Marian dogma, proclaiming Mary as Mother of humanity, Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate for the human race.

This is the most egregious claim made by the RCC; Mary as co-redeemer, mediatrix, and advocate; terms used in the Bible as referring only to God.

I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:9

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2: 5-7.

As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 47:4

But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 1 John 2:1

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

The RCC assigns titles to Mary that the Bible reserves for God.. This is an example where the RCC outright contradicts the clear words of the Bible.

The Catholic Church and Satanism

1

Cognitive Dissonance occurs when a person is presented facts that are contrary too a deeply held belief. The need to hold onto that deeply held belief results in rejecting the facts presented even if those facts are compelling. Rarely does a person experiencing cognitive dissonance accept any truth that contradicts their deeply held belief.

Many  Roman Catholics will experience cognitive dissonance when presented with facts that expose the RCC as evil, even if it’s the RCC that exposes itself.  Hiding in plain sight are things that should shake the faith of any RC. Take for example the Vatican Audience Hall pictured below.

[vc_custom_heading text=”Audience Hall at the Vatican” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”]

If you don’t see the head of a snake, you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance.  I understand. The idea that the RCC would knowingly construct a building that looks like a snake is unthinkable.

Take another look at the picture below. Right down to the fangs many people clearly see the head of a snake. Even if you don’t see a snakes head,  accept the fact that a great many people do. You would think the RCC would have nothing to do with this.

If this was the only evidence of the RCC representing a snake, I too might dismiss the idea. But you don’t have to look far to find another example of the RCC representing a snake.

[vc_custom_heading text=”The Resurrection Sculpture” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”]

Prominently displayed on the wall behind the pope is a sculpture named “The Resurrection”. It dominates the stage of the Vatican hall where the pope’s general audiences are held.

Many people see the entire sculpture as evil, and downright ugly. There are many hidden representations of evil in the sculpture, but let’s look just at Jesus’s head. Do you see a snakes head? Look closely.

I’ve taken the photo and zoomed in on Jesus’s head. There are no Photoshop tricks applied other than zooming in. This should help you see the snake.

Described as both an art and a science, ‘steganography’ is concerned with concealing the fact that a secret message is being sent, as well as concealing the contents of the message. The message whether positive or negative is subtle yet hidden in plain sight, subliminal, imperceptible to the conscious mind, ensuring that someone who is not specifically looking for it is unlikely to notice, yet once seen it can not be ignored.

Sometimes the most important messages are hidden in plain sight. After years of studying what many consider “conspiracy theories”, I have discovered that the enemy always tells us what he’s up to. You just need to open your eyes.

Ann Coulter: Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI

0

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris recently tweeted:

“Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles. Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa!”

Post some pictures, Kamala! We’d love to see your Brahmin and Jamaican grandparents sitting around the Kwanzaa candles recalling celebrations way back when they were three or four years younger. (Would that the Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” would start counting Kamala’s lies!)

Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively by white liberals, is a fake holiday invented in 1966 (when Kamala was 2 years old) by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga — aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga’s United Slaves.

In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of the ’60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better. (It’s the same function MSNBC serves today.)

By that criterion, Karenga’s United Slaves was perfect.

Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the ’60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and murderers, they did not seek armed revolution.

Those were the precepts of Karenga’s United Slaves. The United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented “African” names. (I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am Kwanzaa-reform, and we are not that observant.)

It’s as if David Duke invented a holiday called “Anglika,” which he based on the philosophy of “Mein Kampf” — and clueless public school teachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday.

In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the ’70s, Karenga was quick to criticize Nigerian newspapers that claimed that certain American black radicals were CIA operatives.

Now we know the truth: The FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In the annals of the American ’60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police. Whether Karenga was a willing FBI dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. The left has forgotten the FBI’s tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.

In one barbarous outburst, Karenga’s United Slaves shot two Black Panthers to death on the UCLA campus: Al “Bunchy” Carter and John Huggins. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as the chair of the Africana Studies Department at California State University at Long Beach.

(Speaking of which, the cheap labor lobby certainly was right about how the GOP could easily win over “natural conservative” Hispanics. Look at how California has swung decisively to the right since Hispanics became the largest ethnic group there! Good luck winning California now, Democrats!)

The esteemed Cal State professor Karenga’s invented holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy ’60s rhetoric, black racism, and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another invention of The Worst Generation.

In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, famously posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLA’s revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. These are the exact same seven “principles” of Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life. It takes a village to raise a police snitch!

When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from “classical Marxism,” he essentially said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites. (And here’s something interesting: Kawaida, Kwanzaa, and Kuumba are also the only three Kardashian sisters not to have their own shows on the E! network.)

While taking the “best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism” (Is that the mass murder or the seizure of private property?), Karenga said Kawaida practitioners believe one’s racial identity “determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding.”

There’s an inclusive philosophy for you!

Sing to “Jingle Bells”:

Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell

Whitey has to pay;

Burning, shooting, oh what fun

On this made-up holiday!

Kwanzaa emerged not from Africa, but from the FBI’s COINTELPRO. It is a holiday celebrated exclusively by idiot white liberals. Black people celebrate Christmas.
