Let's look at Mary

[Behold]

So, let look at some of "Mary's Lies".

I'll post 15 for you, as taught by the "cult of mary".

Here is what they teach that : Mary Said, and that that they believe.
-
-

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.​

For children: If you pray the Rosary, God will help you make good choices when you’re not sure what to do.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.​

For children: When you pray the Rosary, Mary promises to make an extra effort to protect you and send you special blessings.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.​

For children: When you pray the Rosary, it helps you to be good. If you struggle with a certain bad habit, like lying or hitting your siblings, praying the Rosary will help you overcome these habits. Praying the Rosary is like riding around in a tank! You’ll have super strong protection against the devil!

4. The Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.​

For children: Praying the Rosary will help you grow in holiness, because it helps you grow in the virtues like love, honesty, wisdom, faithfulness, and courage. Which virtues do you need to grow in? Pray the Rosary! Our Lady will help you!

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.​

You won’t go to hell = if you pray the Rosary. That doesn’t mean you won’t go to purgatory.

For children: If you trust in Mary by praying the Rosary, she promises you won’t go to hell. (If you are not comfortable telling your child about hell yet, you can say something like “Mary promises to help you get to heaven if you pray the Rosary and trust in her.”)

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice; he shall not perish by an unprovided death. If he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.​

For children: If you make a habit of praying the Rosary, Mary will wrap her mantle around you like a good mother! She will help you when you are sad or having a hard time. What kind of hard times are you having right now? Are you sad about a problem with a friend? Disappointed or angry about something? Mary will make sure it’s not too much for you to handle!

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.​

Tthis sacrament also absolves you of any unconfessed sins.

For children: If you make a habit of praying the Rosary, Mary will make sure a priest anoints you with special oil to help you if ever get really sick. This is called the Anointing of the Sick. This sacrament sends you special graces that help you endure your illness and even grow in holiness through it.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces. At the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.​

For children: Mary promises that if you pray the Rosary faithfully, you will have the light of God shining upon you and you will have many rewards in heaven like the saints.

9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.​

Mary promises to “get us out” of purgatory quickly! She is our greatest Advocate.

For children: Mary promises that if you pray the Rosary, she will help you become pure and holy so that you go to heaven.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.​

Praying the Rosary merits us a higher place in Heaven because we will become more holy.

For children: If you pray the Rosary faithfully, you will sit very close to Jesus and his Mother in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.​

Mary is our advocate and she mediates between her Son and us. She will ask Jesus for all that we ask, provided it’s good for our salvation and doesn’t violate God’s perfect will for us.

For children: When you pray the Rosary, you can ask Mary for what you need, and she will talk to her son about it. Jesus loves his mom so much that he pays attention to what she says!

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.​

This means that when you tell others about the Rosary, including teaching your children to pray it, Mary will take special care to ensure you have what you need both spiritually and physically.

For children: When you share what you know about the Rosary with other people, Mary loves it! When you do this, she promises that you will have what you need to become more holy. She even promises that you will have enough food, clothing, and a home to live in.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.​

Mary promises that if we encourage others to pray the Rosary, the angels in heaven will be interceding for us not only during our lives, but when we die.

For children: When you encourage other people to pray the Rosary, Mary promises that all the angels in heaven will be praying for you!

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons and daughters, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.​

When we recite the Rosary, we are the children of Mary, and Jesus is our BROTHER.... We are part of the Holy Family.

Children: When you pray the Rosary, Mary treats you like her very own child and Jesus becomes like your big brother. You are part of her own family!

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.​

 

[Behold]

Now, ... Real Christians understand by FAITH..... that Jesus on The Cross is our Salvation, as He alone bore our sins, and that includes Mary's sin., and none of this "sin bearing" and "forgiveness of sin," has anything to do with WATER.

Now, there is, this fake religious history that is created by the "cult of Mary" that is based on "the Rosary".

Now, History teaches that "The Rosary", and the false religion tied to it, truly came into effect, somtime around 1200-1300 AD.

So, This means that long dead and buried Mary never evenhad a Rosary, and there was no "Rosary" found in the Catholic NT, or any Real NT.

Jesus never used a Rosary.
Peter never used a Rosary
Paul never used a Rosary
There is no Rosary found in any bible, or greek text, or Latin Catholic text.

"the Rosary" is a religious fiction that is tied to Mary worship, and both are not of God.

 

[Behold]

Now, the "cult of Mary".......does not exist, if you take Mary out of it., as its built on "Mary Religion" that is actually just the evolution of the (Pre-Christ) Pagan religion that is known as "Goddess Diana".. As this "Goddass" was a "perpetual virgin", and the "Queen of Heaven".
So, the "cult of mary" is simply this very very old Pagan religion, infused with some of the Teaching of Jesus, and some of the teachings of the New Testament, that are taught incorrectly (falsely) ,..... such as """water washes your sin away""" or... "If anyone says that a person is jusfiied by Faith" and no works are requires then that person is "Anathema". (cursed of God).
The realiity is, the "curse" is upon this MARY Cult, as Paul has defined them as : Galatians 1:8

And of course "praying the rosary" is also just one more Religious man made invention created by the Mary-Cult, that is not even associated with the actual Mother of Jesus as the Rosary beads were not even created when Mary was alive.

 

[Begotten]

The cult of Mary refers to the veneration and devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus, particularly within the Catholic Church. This devotion is rooted in biblical references, such as the Gospel of Luke, and is formalized through various dogmas, including the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption. The Council of Ephesus in 431 AD significantly elevated Mary's status, leading to the establishment of churches and shrines dedicated to her. In Catholic theology, the term "cult" denotes a form of worship, distinct from its negative connotation in popular usage. Additionally, historical movements, such as Collyridianism, illustrate the early Christian worship of Mary, highlighting her importance in religious practices.

The Bible does not support the man made teachings of the Mary Cult that were created outside of the New Testament , as this is always what a Cult does.. that is a fake "christians" cult.
The Catholics have MARY as their centerpiece, and the Mormons have Moroni and the Book of Mormon.
The MaryCult teaches it deceived to believe and repeat the Mary Cult propaganda, like mindless Parrots stuck on "Repeat".

The Reality is.......no apostle "venerated"" Mary.. No NT Verse teaches that Mary and Jesus are working together in Heaven, as co-authors of Salvation.
No verse in a BIBLE, teaches that we pray to Mary who then delivers our prayer to Jesus.
No verse in a Bible teaches that Mary will meet you at your death, or that Mary is involved in blessing you, or saving you, or keeping you out of Hell.

The MaryCult is a demonic man made religious system, that exists completely outside of The Gospel, and outside of Paul's Doctrine.

If you take MARY out of the Catholic Cult of Mary.. then the Catholic Church Cult = ceases to exist.

I have many family members and loved one who are Catholic and I find your thread very rude.

I'm new here and the rules state:

Read this carefully.

The Thread you are on, is not attacking a religious belief........its actually quoting a false religious systems stated ONLINE belief system, that is in fact the current Catholic Theology and teaching.
Its no different then posting a Thread on "What Maroni said to Joseph Smith" or what "Mary Baker Eddy" tells her disciples.

What has been posted is the "supposed" statements of MARY< that could not have come from Mary, as these statements were created hundreds of years, after she was Dead.
So, to reveal this, for Christians and for deceived cult memvers , is a good thing.......its a necessary service.. a genuinely productive teaching. It is in fact showing LOVE.

SEE, QUOTING the actual False Theology is to truthfully represent it, so that this revelation can help anyone who finds it needs it.

This is "Love".

The Catholic Church is the "cult of Mary".

Do the research, and find out, that this was the TITLE given to this Religious system, before it was later rebranded as "Catholic".

So, the "cult of mary" that is the original title, reflects "Cathilic Cult'.

See, you are just one more who has no connection to the actual early History of your denomination.

Be glad that im provided some clarity here, so that you also can learn something about the TRUE History of the "cult of Mary".

 

[Behold]

You didn't post you source.

If you need more, let me know.
I can always post the Council(s) of Trent, or Catholic.org.

St. Bernardine of Siena is today's : Catholic Saint of the Day.​

So, if you've not already prayed to this one yet...., i'd suggest you pass on that, and give God some praise instead, along with your prayers.​

So now you're assuming the Admin is Catholic. Good luck with that.

You are confused @Obadiah

I have no idea what particular denomination that Administrator claims as their own.

I only posted the requested information that Administrator asked me to provide.
The next time i post a similar Thread i will certainly post a LINK to a specific site where the DATA is offered, unless im only using Paul's NT Theology as the means to uncover a similar Religious organization.
And i posted a little more, for their information, as im sure they would want to be as informed as possible.
Any Christian would...want this....if they are sincere.

See "my people are destroyed for lack of KNOWLEDGE"...and i just posted some, for the benefit of anyone who is a bible student, and wants to know more about Religious Fraud and who is teaching it worldwide at the highest levels.

I'm Catholic but I'm not in a cult.

 

[Behold]

I'm Catholic but I'm not in a cult.

Cult Teachings define a Cult.
I posted 15 from "Mary".

The MaryCult is built on Mary "veneration".....and if you remove Mary from its teaching and doctrine, then the Catholic Church will cease to exist.
Hopefully you are not burning candles to Mary. @Donald , while pretending you are "not in a cult".
See, .... the worst type of deception is self deception.

As does Collyridianism

Collyridianism​

Collyridianism is a hypothetical Christian heresy said to have worshiped Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a goddess and member of the Trinity. The existence of the Collyridians is doubtful: they are only mentioned in the Panarion of Epiphanius. According to Epiphanius, this sect originated in Thrace and Scythia before spreading to Arabia, although origins in Syria or Asia Minor have also been suggested. Wikipedia

Collyridianism | Catholic Answers Magazine​

Collyridianism is seen today in various forms. Those "hyper-Marian" groups and writers who overly exalt Mary and focus on her to the exclusion (or near exclusion) of Christ are guilty of something approaching idolatry.

Collyridianism - New Religious Movements​

Jan 31, 2025Collyridianism, also known as Kollyridianism, was an alleged early Christian movement that emerged in Arabia, where its adherents reportedly worshipped the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, as a goddess.

Collyridianism, the Virgin Mary and the Divine Feminine​

Collyridianism, the Virgin Mary and the Divine Feminine Collyridianism was an obscure Christian movement considered heretical by the Catholic Church. Its followers apparently worshiped the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, like a goddess.

I know I not in a cult and that I'm not being deceived.

I know and am convinced (persuaded) as one in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is [forbidden as] essentially unclean (defiled and unholy in itself). But [none the less] it is unclean (defiled and unholy) to anyone who thinks it is unclean.
ROMANS 14:14

I know that burning candles to Mary is not unclean.

The more I ponder Romans 14:14, the more amazed I am by the depth of Paul’s insight. The principle he understood was true when applied to meat offered to idols in ancient times, and it is still true today in any area of life.

Also, for many people, whatever “they” say becomes truth—and “they” maybe their views on denomination's other than theirs.

I get a kick out of others who enjoy sharing opinions but may or may not really have any idea what is true. When you and I believe lies, our minds can actually limit us and even keep us from doing what God created us to do.

 

[Behold]

I know I not in a cult and that I'm not being deceived.

A person who is deceived can't know it, or they would no longer be deceived.

For example.......lets say a person is involved in "the cult of Mary", and they are burning candles to Mary while kneeling, and also pretending they are not in the MaryCult.
They "report" this Thread as "attacking"... yet there is no verse in any bible that even begins to insinuate that burning candles to Mary or Saints, is "Christianity".
But they dont care, as the Bible is just "that book"........., and they have "church traditions" that own their mind., and direct their Religious behavior, at a rate of about 2 Billion MaryCultist, in the world, this very second.

So, we see that this person is not understanding the depth of their deception, that they keep proving. @Donald

Much more, the internet will tell one whatever one wants to believe. I definitely do not hold to Collyridianism. It seems rather extreme to me.
