Mary Was Scarcely Mentioned In The Bible

Confuting Protestantism’s Biblical Boo-boos Part II

By Jeanne d’Arce

Protestants doubts the Divinity of Jesus Christ

No self-respecting apostates from the Catholic Church aka Protestants will confess they hated Mary, the mother of Jesus.  They’d rather confess they hated Mary, the Mother of God.  Have you noticed the implication of their foolishness?  Their hidden sting goes this way: Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ only (Cristotokos) but not the Mother of God (Theotokos), ergo, Jesus Christ was not God.  Protestants really don’t believe 100% Jesus Christ is God, and that’s that.

It’s no wonder then that the more corrupted Protestants broke away from among them and formed their own fledgling Protestant group that openly attacked the Divinity of Jesus Christ.  [In my forthcoming articles, I will expose Protestantism’s ludicrous flimsy alibi that Mary was not the Mother of God.]

Indeed, Protestantism, which was founded by ex-Catholic priest and apostate Martin Luther in Germany in 1517, breeds antichrist and anti-Marian cults like the following:

Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints founded by Joseph Smith in the USA in 1830;

Jehovah’s Witnesses founded by Charles Taze Russell in the USA in 1872;

Iglesia ni Cristo founded by Felix Y. Manalo in the Philippines in 1914;

Born Again Evangelicals founded by Jacob Armenius and Charles Wesley in the USA in 1946; et cetera.

The true and faithful Church of God and Jesus Christ

For the perusal of the ignorant of the true and faithful Church of God and Jesus Christ, may they be enlightened with this fact:

The Lord God Jesus Christ founded His one and only Church upon Peter in Israel in about the year 29 – 33 AD (MT 16:18); And the same Apostle Peter was the first Vicar of Christ in His Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church – the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth (1TM 3:15).

A household is not a household without a mother, and only the Catholic Church has Mary, the Mother of God, as her Mother also.  Protestantism has Katarina Von Bora as its mother – the apostate ex-Catholic nun that Martin Luther married against their mutual vow of abstention from sexual intercourse.  They cannot accept renunciation of marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven (MT 19:12) and so they exchanged it for the worldly coitus, which made them the prototype of apostate ex-Catholic priests and nuns who likewise succumbed to sexual lust.

Thus, Protestantism was the household of Martin Luther with Katarina Von Bora as its mother – both disobedient children.  As clear as a polished crystal, the trees of Protestantism (Luther and Von Bora) were disobedient apostates, so what do us expect of their fruits?  What else, but the same disobedient apostates also, because they are the fulfillment of what Jesus had preached: a rotten tree bears bad fruit and it cannot bear good fruit (cf MT 7:17-18; LK 6:43).

Protestants hates Mary, the Mother of God

Of all the women characters mentioned in the Bible, the Protestants singled out Mary as unworthy of their study.  Either they abhorred Mary, the Mother of the Man-God, so much, that it is just a waste of time for them studying Her, or they fear that if they will study Mary, all their false doctrines that were linked to their invented false god without a mother will be exposed and all will inevitably fall flat to the ground with a resounding splat, or both.

The Protestants ostracized Mary because of their satanic enmity of the Mother of God, as foreseen and foreordained by God from the very beginning of time:

GEN 3:15 I will put enmities between thee (Satan) and the woman (Mary), and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.  (Douay-Rheims Version, Emphasis mine)

Ergo, it’s no wonder why second generation Protestants onwards were completely ignorant of Mary and why they hated the Mother of God so much, for the simple reason that the Blessed Virgin Mary was never a part of their biblical curriculum.  In fairness to our Protestant friends, they do speak of Mary too, especially in their regular hate drill to lambast her and the Catholic Church.  Perhaps they missed the Law of Eternal Life which the Lord Jesus Christ expounds in this wise:

LK 10:25-27 There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"  Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"  He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, is our primary and sublime neighbor, infinitely best than the Good Samaritan (LK 10:29-37), as She is our Mother of Perpetual Help.  So how come Protestants abhors Mary – our Number 1 neighbor and our tainted nature's solitary boast?  Protestants kicked Mary out of their lives and yet they have the effrontery to self-claim they are followers of Her Son.  Lucidly, Protestantism is the height of hypocrisy.

Protestantism’s lie: Mary was scarcely mentioned in the Bible

Protestants hated Mary, the Mother of God, so much so that they even go to the extent of silencing biblical verses that speaks of her.  Their purpose was too obvious: they wanted to de-emphasize her role in the Salvific Plan of God and thereby, get rid of her once and for all.

Here are just two examples of Protestantism’s shrunken references of Mary, the Mother of God:

Excerpt from the blog, justforcatholics.org owned by Dr. Joe Mizzi, a former Catholic who apostatized into the newly invented American Cult Born Again Evangelicals:

The Bible about Mary

Question  I would like to know why the Bible doesn't tell much about virgin Mary.

Answer These are the main references to Mary in the New Testament:

1. Annunciation, visit to Elizabeth, birth and early life of Jesus - Matthew 1,2; Luke 1,2

2. Woman, what have I to do with thee? - John 2:1-11

3. Is not his mother called Mary? - Matthew 13:54-58; Mark 6:1-6; Luke 4:16-31

4. Who is my mother? - Matthew 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21

5. Woman, behold thy son! - John 19:26,27

6. With the early disciples - Acts 1:14

7. Made of a woman - Galatians 4:4

It is true, the Bible does not say much about Mary. However, the Bible tells us enough about her that we need to know.  She was the virgin mother of our Lord, whom God chose by His grace to fulfill this special role in the plan of redemption.  And for the unique privilege she is called blessed by all Christians and in all ages.

The Roman Catholic doctrines about Mary, namely, the perpetual virginity, the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption to heaven, and the titles Queen of Heaven, mediatrix, our mother, our life, our hope and others are conspicuously absent from the Bible.

Why so?  Simply because the Bible is a book about another person, who was chosen and appointed by God to be the mediator and savior of the world. That person is Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus said: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39). The Bible is the Book about the Lord Jesus Christ and we should be wholeheartedly devoted to Him.

Excerpt from the book, MGA WAGAS NA DOKTRINA NG BIBLIA (Systematic Theology) By GAVINO S. TICA, p. 38-39:

III. ANG PARAAN NG KAPANGANAKAN

Una: Ang pinagmulan at kalagayang panglaman ni Birheng Maria.  Siya ay anak na babae ni Heli, buhat sa tribo ng Judah sa lahi ni haring David kaya siya ay maituturing na may dugong bughaw (Royal Blood).

Pangalawa: Siya ay binanggit ng mahigit kumulang na apat na beses sa Biblia pagkatapos ng kanyang paglilihi at kapanganakan sa Panginoong Hesus.

Binanggit siya sa kasaysayan ng kasal sa Cana kung saan ay lumapit siya sa Panginoong Hesus patungkol sa alak (Juan 2:1-4).

Binanggit din siya sa kasaysayan na Capernaum kung saan sa isang pulong publiko ay ninasa niyang kausapin si Hesus (Juan 2:12; Mateo 12:46-50).

Binanggit din siya sa panahon ng pagpako kay Hesus sa krus na kung saan siya ay ipinagtagubilin kay Juan (John the Beloved).  Marahil ay patay na si Jose na kaniyang asawa sa panahong ito.  (Juan 19:25-27).

Binanggit din siya sa pagkatapos na umakyat sa langit ang Panginoong Hesus na kung saan siya ay kasama ng mga tapat na alagad sa panalangin.  Mga Gawa 1:14

Bible’s truth: Mary was lavishly spoken of in the Bible

Contrary to the false teachings of Protestantism, Mary, the Mother of God, was spoken of from the first book to the last book of the Bible, that is, from Genesis to Revelation.  That is no wonder because God who inspired all Scriptures (cf 2TM 3:16), had Mary ever present in His eternal thought.

Here are incomplete lists of passages that speak of or refer to Mary (To save space, excluded are the numerous allusions and typologies of Mary):

OLD TESTAMENT TESTIMONIES OF MARY

EZEK 44:1-2 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, facing the east; but it was closed.  He said to me: This gate is to remain closed; it is not to be opened for anyone to enter by it; since the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered by it, it shall remain closed.

PS 69:9 I have become an outcast to my kin, a stranger to my mother's children.

WISDOM 3:13 Yes, blessed is she who, childless and undefiled, knew not transgression of the marriage bed; she shall bear fruit at the visitation of souls.
