Jesus is loving and approachable. No one comes to his father, except through him. There is no need or value in seeking relationship with anyone else. Go straight to him. No mediator is needed, it is a distraction.

Mary would be nothing without Jesus Jesus Is God In the Flesh he made Mary

This is a beautiful description of Mary, this shows what an amazing human she was... Even when giving birth to Jesus she took no credit, had no Ego, she only showed the true human qualities that we should all show..
Dedication to our gifts from God.. our children, his children, our fellow humans. Compassion, dedication and service. As a mother she gave her body, soul and spirit to save the world to bring the light, through the messiah. Love this ❤️💯

4 REASONS YOU SHOULD NOT PRAY TO MARY
1. THERE IS ONLY ONE MEDIATOR
1 Timothy 2:5 says,  There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.
This confirms we don’t need a “go-between.” We don’t need a middle-man (or woman) beyond Christ.
When Jesus died, shed His blood, and was raised from the dead the need to have someone (e.g. high priest) represent us was ripped away just like the curtain that tore from top to bottom.
2. GOD ALONE SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED 
Luke 4:8 says,  Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”
Praying to Mary and/or any living or deceased saints is an act of worship…which is reserved for God alone.
When Jesus modeled prayer (Matthew 6:7-13) He began with, “Our Father in Heaven.” No where in Scripture is it suggested that we pray to Mary or any other deceased saints.
3. MARY WORSHIPPED JESUS AS GOD
In Acts 1 the disciples and about 120 believers were in an upper room waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit (at Jesus’ command). Guess who was present with them? Mary. What was she doing? Praying.
Acts 1:14 says,  They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus.
It’s important to note that the apostles weren’t praying to Mary as a go between. She was joined with them in prayer…to GOD.
4. MARY WAS A SINNER IN NEED OF A SAVIOR 
According to Psalm 51:5 we are all born as sinners in need of a Savior, Mary included.
Mary was highly favored, not sinless. There is not one scripture to  support that Mary was without sin. JESUS is the only one who never sinned (2 Corinthians 5:21,  Hebrews 4:15,  1 Peter 2:22) which explains why Mary had to be impregnated by the Holy Spirit.

Extras
* The Bible is about JESUS, after all Jesus is the Living Word (John 1:14). The Old Testament points to JESUS. The New Testament is about Jesus. The authors of the four Gospels saw JESUS as the central figure and only mention Mary in reference to JESUS. The word “Jesus” is mentioned 1, 478 times in the New Testament. The word “Mary” is only mentioned 55 times and some of those are in reference to Mary Magdalene. Also, Jesus is referenced in 26 of 27 New Testament books.
* Mary can’t hear you. Only God can hear all of our prayers as He is the only one omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
* Mary was not even recognized in Scripture as a leader in the early Church. Peter is the one who stood up, addressed the crowd, and preached in Acts 1, not Mary.
* JESUS is the only Way, Truth, and Life. No one can come to the Father, except through JESUS.👍

I learned so much because of your website. For years I searched your teachings - because of people like you, I am a Christian.

The phrase "full of grace" is used in reference to Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the original Greek, it means being "completely and perfectly graced"1. The Angel Gabriel greeted Mary with these words, emphasizing her exceptional role in salvation history1. The Greek word translated as "full of grace" indicates that something has been completed in her, reflecting her current state of being2. It signifies that Mary is filled with the presence of God and has no room within her for sin3.

[alfredobarragan]

My issue is that there's so many variants of her such blasphemy there's one in Mexico another in Colombia Honduras China etc.

[FranLuckyflute]

The only way to be given Grace is by repenting and believing in our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, not through Mary. The dead are dead till the day of Judgement.

[normmcinnis]

Yep. She was a fortunate vessel. Matt 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
That's right, Firstborn, and Joseph "knew her not until"...

[beagle]

Well said on this No one Religion will get anyone saved, as many False teachings. only by the Power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The way the Truth and The Life. The one and Only Living God.

[daninspiration]

Luke 1:48 “From now on all generations will call me blessed.” Even Elizabeth said she was most blessed amongst women. So our “blessed mother is not just a normal woman.” If England bows to queen Elizabeth you all don’t call that blasphemous. So why can’t we bow to our blessed mother in honoring her? Let’s use common sense.

[luluthatgirlwholikecatalot]

The Catholic Church do not see Mary the Mother of God like a God and we don''t worship her. We just ask her to interven and to pray for us. Like a great mother would. Like my mom if I need her to pary for me. I'll ask her and she will pray for me. Mary mother of God steps on the evil. You forgot to mention Revelation 12-20 The Woman and the Dragon. 12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth.

[milyp.]

Our Immaculate Virgin herself says in the bible “For now on all generations will call me blessed”. She is worthy of all our VENERATION and she indeed can intercede for us to her son, as our family members in heaven can.

We don't worship Virgin Mary we venerate and honor her because she's closer with God. Same as the saints because they give up themselves to the lord Jesus christ 🙏 . So remember we don't worship we venerate, respect and honor them because they give themselves to God 100%. Example if you go to school of math and you don't understand that chapter the algebra book you need to ask the teacher questions. Don't leave thoughts and questions to your self... ask the teacher why???!!
