VIRGIN MARY

Catholic Doctrine:
  1. The virgin Mary never had sex after Jesus was born and that Jesus had no brothers & sisters.
  2. The Pope teaches that Mary is the mediator between God and Man.
  3. Catholics praise Mary more than Jesus Christ & pray to her to have their prayers answered.
Jesus had brothers and sisters from the womb of Mary.
"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" (Matthew 13:55-56)

Joseph began normal sexual relations with his wife after Jesus was born.
"And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." (Matthew 1:24-25)

Mary is not the mediator between God and man.
" For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5)

Jesus did not encourage praise to Mary.
" And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." (Luke 11:27-28)
