St. Mary Mother of God Facts

2019-01-07T14:24:00.000+08:00

This is the interesting facts about Saint Mary mother of God! Let's study it so we know how it's going to happen. There are some references to the story of Mary the mother of Jesus in the Bible, we need to learn it.

With simpler logic only, you can understand it immediately.

Mary is the mother of Jesus (the God).
Jesus the son of Mary.

Therefore Mary (mother) of Jesus (God), in short "mother of God".

Is there evidence in the Bible that Mary is God's mother?

There is!

Luke 1:43 And whence is this unto me, that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me?

Here we read "mother of my Lord", Elisabeth that a Jew says it. At that time he was filled with Holy Spirit. Elisabeth is a Jew whose tongue is HEBREW, in the Hebrew the word "Lord" is "Adonai" which means "God".

That means "mother of my Lord" is the mother of God

Because "LORD" IS A GOD,

Deuteronomy 6: 4 (New American Bible) "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone!

1 Kings 18:39 (New American Bible) "Seeing this, all the people fell prostrate and said," The LORD is God! The Lord is God! "

Luke 1:16 (New American Bible) "and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD THEIR GOD"

Acts 2:39 (New American Bible) "For the promise is made unto you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the LORD OUR GOD will call."

That is the St. Mary mother of God facts, the strong proof that Mary is the mother of God (Lord). If your heart is open to accepting that explanation, you may well understand why She was called "Mary Mother of God". That's a doctrine in some of the religions, especially in the Catholic Church.

What is the Purpose of Baptism in the Bible?

2019-01-04T22:19:00.001+08:00

What is the meaning of baptism in the bible? Baptism means cleansing of sins.

1 Peter 3:21 "and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"

What does baptism symbolize? Baptism is a symbol of the transformation of life. That old dirty life has been washed.

What is the meaning of baptism in the bible? Baptism means accepting the challenge of change from sin to humanity, and that is the sign that you have received or believed in Christ who commanded the disciples to baptize all people, which we read in Matthew 28:19.

Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

What is the purpose of Baptism?

The Baptism is the purification of sins and to receive the holy spirit promised to God for us. But before we are baptized, we need to repent of sins. Let's read this bible verse.

Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Do you know that in Baptism, Christ and our body become one? And because of this, we have salvation because we counted that we were with him in death and resurrection. See this verse.

Colossians 2:12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.

Let's remember this, no one can go to heaven except those who are baptized. That's what we read in John's letter.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

Do you know what water and spirit Jesus Christ said? That is what John the Baptist described in the book of Matthew.

Matthew 3:11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Did you get what it means to be said in the Bible? Are you happy? So if you have not been baptized yet, it is the opportunity to begin and to have eternal life starting today. Let's live happily. 😃

Healing Scriptures for the Sick

2019-01-04T16:03:00.000+08:00

There are so many bible verses about healing and comfort that we should read and know the meaning of it, not just in the time we have a sickness but because Jesus Christ wants us to talk to him, and that will happen at the time we read of the bible.

Why did people get sick?

Two kinds of diseases are ours, it may be because of the earthly body or it is because of the spiritual side. And what does the holy bible say about it?

Best Healing Scriptures for the Sick

Proverbs 23:20 "Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat"

That's the advice in the book of Proverbs, which means we do not have to drink too much alcohol and not necessarily eat more than what's needed. If we do not follow that counsel, it is possible that we get sick.

So, what do we do if we are in a state of illness?

James 5: 14-15 "Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. "

Said the book of James, whoever is sick must call the church leader to treat you. You will be healed when it comes to belief. Not only that, but your sin will also be forgiven. So, the benefit we receive is double. Not only the earthly body is treated but also the spiritual side.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

The scripture says that faith is needed to please God. And who is God saying? Jesus Christ is a God. The question is; do you really believe in Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is a God

2019-01-04T08:07:00.003+08:00

There are so many religions today, and I have discovered a religion that does not believe that Jesus Christ is a God. But what does the Bible say?

These are the proof that Jesus Christ is a God.

Prediction:

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel.”

The word "Emmanuel" means "God with us", and that word also read in Matthew 1:23 which is enclosed in Christ Jesus as an Emmanuel.

Worship and Serve:

Matthew 4:10 "You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve."

That statement proves that only God is to be worshiped. But what has happened to these verses below?

Matthew 2:11 "On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him."

Matthew 28:16-17 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.

And Jesus Christ accepted the worship of his disciples.;

Matthew 14:32-33 "And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God."

In that verse Christ did not forbid his disciples in worshiping him.

Jesus Christ claims that he is God himself:

John 10:30-33 "I and the Father are one.’ Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, ‘I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?’ ‘We are not stoning you for any of these,’ replied the Jews, ‘but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

Is he really God? Let's ask the author of the book of John, and this is what he said.

John 1:1,14
(1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(14) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

It is very clear that Jesus Christ is the incarnate God, not just one verse proves but so many verses prove that Jesus Christ is a God.

Everything that is in the Rosary prayer is biblical (word of God / word in the bible)

If they say that praying over and over again is worthless, So, is the word of God meaningless? Not like that!

This is what we read in Luke;

Luke 4: 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God

It says that man will live by the Word of God. Well, the Prayer Rosary is the word of God because it is biblical. If they would say that the prayer of rosary is meaningless, they say that God's word is meaningless!

It's still;

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, BLESSED IS THE HE WHO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, and keep it.

See, even blessed are those who hear the word of God how much more if it is in prayer and do it wholeheartedly and let it be repeated again?

■ Is there a prayer in the Bible repeatedly?
ANSWER: there is (but it is not a trivial prayer)

◆◆> MATTHEW 26:44 - Three times Jesus repeats the same prayer, it happens in the garden of Gethsemane, saying the exact same words again.

Was it Jesus' time to pray over and over again, was not it right? Of course it's worth it!

◆◆> 2 Corinthians 12: 8 (Good News Bible) "I have prayed to the Lord for three times, but."

Three times means over and over again

◆◆> Rev. 4: 8 - repetitive prayer - HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!
◆◆> Psalm 136 - repetitive prayer - "love endures forever".
◆◆> Dan. 3: 35-66 - repetitive prayer - "Bless the Lord".

There are so many verses that show repetitive prayer, meaning not all repetitive prayers meaningless. This is especially significant if it is a Bible similar to the Holy Rosary.

Summary:

The contents of the Rosary prayer that we have described above are biblical. It is a meaningful prayer that we should pay attention to. Amen! Amen! Amen! Glory to God the highest!
