Mary Saves and is a mediator?
CATHOLIC DOCTRINE: Mary is mediator between man
and God.(Catechism #969)
BIBLE: Jesus Christ is the only mediator
between man and God. (1 Timothy 2:5)
"Taken up to heaven she (Mary) did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation..." Pg. 252, #969
"Being obedient she (Mary) became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race." Pg. 125, #494
According to God's Word, Mary has never had anything to do with the salvation process. Scripture reveals that Jesus is the ONLY One who can provide salvation:
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12
Jesus Himself declared that He is the ONLY way to heaven:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved... " John 10:9
Catholics still say.........
She (Mary) is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son." Pg. 303, #1172
We come to an ending that either we belive in the Catholic church traditions or we believe in the WORD of God. I will stck with the bible because I rather put my trust in God than man.
GOD SAID IN HIS MIGHTY WORD....
"I,am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." Isaiah 43:11
"Yet I am the LORD thy God... there is no saviour beside me." Hosea 13:4
"The God of my rock he is... my saviour..." 2 Samuel 22:3
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11
"... we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." John 4:42
Him (Jesus) hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour..." Acts 5:31
"Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:" Acts 13:23
"But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ..." 2 Timothy 1:10
"Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour." Titus 1:4
"Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;" Titus 3:6
"... the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." 1 John 4:14
The bible is very clear on who the Savior is and I can assure you that is not Mary. Salvation is found in only Jesus Christ. Although whenever I have talked to some knowledgeable Catholics they deny that they think Mary saves but by reading their doctrines and looking at the Catholic Church it is obvious that the Catholic Church is caught up in idolatry and they need a lot of prayers of true born again believers. Few questions that I haven’t gotten the answers is that why in the world do they do this stuff and teach this horrible stuff when it is so contradicting the WORD of God. I ask that we be careful from their seductive doctrines and ask God to give us a desire to pray for them so that God will open their eyes to the only truth which is only found in the WORD OF GOD AND IN JESUS CHRIST.
