Church affirms queen of heaven apparition in Wisconsin

Errors in Catholicism, Holy Scriptures, News, Salvation, Things to Think About

According to reports published around the globe, the catholic church has affirmed an apparition, referring to it as “Mary” and stating that the appearance of this unknown entity is “worthy of belief”. Here’s a link to one article:

Church affirms Virgin Mary apparition in Wisconsin

David Laurin Ricken, bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay, said last week, the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help is “worthy of belief.” John Doefler is the shrine’s rector and the vicar general and chancellor of the diocese.

According to information published in the report, just outside the small town of Champion, Wisconsin, Adele Brise was visited three times in October 1859 by the vision of a woman in white. In the third vision, as Brise carried grain to a mill, the woman identified herself…

According to accounts, the vision stated: “I am the queen of heaven”.

Affirmation of this apparition by the false church, the church of Rome, is clear evidence that they are doing work that is not of our Father in Heaven, and that is not of Christ. Clearly the church is attempting to leverage the legend of some unknown entity, a vision of something or someone who is not Mary the mother of the Body of Christ, and to use this vision and legend to continue to mislead and fool its followers.

No one knows who this apparition is, if it even ever existed at all, and we certainly know that the apparition is NOT Mary, the mother of the body of Jesus. We know this, as do the catholic church leaders, those in power in the church of Rome, yet they ignore this plain fact in order to continue to obscure God’s Truth.

In fact, according to reports, the apparition reportedly identified itself as the “queen of heaven”. Unfortunately, many who aspire to believe in Christ are misled into believing that the “queen of heaven” is Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus. The Word of God tells us that the queen of heaven is NOT, in fact, Mary the mother of Jesus, but rather some “other god” that was inappropriately the object of worship.

No “church” which believes in the Word of God would under any circumstances identify the mother of the man Jesus as a pagan god whose worship led people to be punished severely by God!

We look to Jeremiah 44 for the truth:

“Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem”

The Scripture says that people rejected the Word of God in favor of their own god whom they worshipped, a god called the queen of heaven.

“Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs. And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil”

God punished them for worshipping a god known as the queen of heaven! Surely the church of Rome is aware of this, yet it “affirms” this unknown apparition, opening the door to allow the “queen of heaven” to be worshipped by the modern day members of the so-called “catholic church”.

Those of you who Trust in Christ and those who read my words and aspire to Trust in Him, I implore you NOT to be misled by the wolf in lamb’s clothing, by the false church, by the church of Rome, the so-called “catholic church” for this “church” is intent on leading you away from Him — and this latest affirmation confirms it!

To Jesus through Mary?

Errors in Catholicism, Things to Think About

To Jesus through Mary?

I was following a van the other day, and I noticed a bumper sticker affixed to the back of the vehicle. The message was simple:

“To Jesus through Mary”

Now I’m guessing that was a catholic person’s van, I’m sure they’re a catholic who considers themselves a Christian, a genuine christian catholic I’m sure. But to be honest, it doesn’t really matter if it was or wasn’t. The fact is, the entire message on the bumper sticker is wrong. Jesus doesn’t require an intermediary for us to reach Him. As a matter of fact, Jesus is the ONE and ONLY intermediary between us and the Father:

John 14:6 says…

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

What else is necessary? Why add another layer when it isn’t required?

We shouldn’t strive to reach Jesus through anyone. Not any living person, not anyone who is no longer on this earth, and not through Mary, even if she was the woman who gave birth to our Savior’s physical body. Instead, we should strive to reach the Father through Jesus, exactly as He told us we must.

As human beings, most of us are very fond of our mothers. We love them dearly, and we care about them deeply, and we hurt and mourn when we lose them. There is no getting around that, it is our nature — most of us are attached to our mothers. After all, they gave birth to us. But as Christians, if we are truly Christians, then we must not fall into the trap of assigning human values to the things of Heaven.

Some catholics may believe themselves to be Christian or to be a Christian catholic. If so, they would understand that it is NOT God’s Will that we should find it necessary or desireable to seek our Savior through another human being. He sent his Son here, for us, and because he walked this earth Himself there is no need — ever — for us to reach “Jesus through Mary”.
