Women In The Bible Elizabeth
John the Baptist leaped for joy in his Mother’s womb AT THE SOUND OF MARY’S GREETING…?
Does the fact that it says this in the Bible bother those Protestant fundamentalists who try to downplay Mary’s importance?
Why does it bother some people that God would favor Mary so much as to exalt her with honor and make her a queen? Jesus is the King of kings and the LORD of lords, so why wouldn’t His mother be a queen?
41: And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42: and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43: And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44: For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
-Luke chapter 1
On the one hand, the Protestans see that Mary being Queen isn’t Biblical.
On the other hand, they don’t seem to put as much stock in some of the actual Biblical verses that honor Mary.
It seems that a happy medium is a little tough to find.
To do justice to the Catholic side, Catholics who are true to their faith do not worship Mary. They don’t pray to statues of Mary, nor do they pray to any statues whatsoever.
Catholics recognize that “prayer” and “worship” and “honor” are three distinct words that have distinct meanings.
Catholics recognize that when the body dies, the spirit, or soul, does not. Catholics recognize that just as it’s possible to ask a friend to pray for them while they are living, that it’s possible to ask someone who has passed on to pray for them still. They recognize that a relationship does not end with death. Why is it wrong to assume that if you will be in heaven with someone, and talk and remember them after death, that it is wrong to do so while only one of you is dead? Do those who are dead sever all contact or interest in the living? Is it wrong for one who is dead to pray? If it isn’t, what’s wrong with asking them to pray for you? That’s what praying to Mary, or anyone else is about.
On the side of the Protestants, the respect that many Catholics offer Mary borders on, or even surpasses the limit that they would consider to be worship. Some Catholics tend to place as much, if not more emphasis on Mary than they do Christ. Perhaps they have a point.
In the end, the acts of one, or even many Catholics oughtn’t characterize all, and the opinions of one or many Protestants oughtn’t characterize the rest.
I think it wrong for people to assume a Catholic to not be a Cristian simply because of what they think ‘all’ Catholics believe.
I’m not a Christian, but I find the in-fighting somewhat detestable.
