John MacArthur | Idolatry of Mary

”As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. And they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. Is it I whom they provoke? declares the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own shame? Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

”But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster. But since we left off making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.” And the women said, “When we made offerings to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭44‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

No worship of any kind should be directed toward Mary. She is the wonderful mother of Jesus Christ but all worship and glory goes to Jesus and Jesus alone.

Thank God He saved me from this great deception, Thank you Jesus for paying the price for my sin by YOUR precious shed 🩸 blood

Beyond blessed that my parents and i were NOT raised catholic!! Thank you pastor macarthur, for exposing this idolatry. Mary is a wonderful sister in Christ. It saddens me how the rcc invented mary doctrine that have no biblical support.

Thank you for your courage in bringing this up. God and the Son are what matters. The statue dream showed sand/clay and iron does not mix. Adding, changing, and denying the Bible as is, is a sin. Satan has taken that church over. This is just the begining. Paganism runs rampant in our society. It will enable The Book of Revelations to take good christians who don't know this stuff because this church has turned on God.

my friend is Catholic last night he said he was going to pray to Saint Micheal the angel . I explained to him saints are those washed in the blood of the lamb . he said to me then why does the Catholic church call him a saint, I said because they don't read the Bible or have understanding 🎉

If Jesus is the new Adam and Mary is the new Eve, that would mean that Jesus married his mother and thats just a whole Oedipus complex going on. How can people not see this as blasphemy?

[cosmickitty]

attacking and belittling the mother of the one who is going to judge you is never a good idea.

[hobotastic]

More honorable than the cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim, who without corruption gave birth to God the word. The most holy Theotokos we magnify you.

What a fantastic teaching, the documented history is incredible

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is a face- lift of the famous
INQUISITION

Odd that someone would believe they can use Mary to manipulate Jesus.

Boomer Evangelicals often struggle to discern the duality between reverence and idolatry, failing to see how the veneration of sacred objects can reflect devotion to God rather than misplaced worship. The Ark of the Covenant itself offers a powerful precedent: it was not merely a box but a sacred object, richly adorned and treated with utmost reverence, symbolizing God’s presence among His people. When King David danced before the Ark (2 Samuel 6:14), his actions were not idolatrous but a profound expression of joy and worship of the God whose presence the Ark represented. Similarly, in Orthodox Christianity, the veneration of icons is not worship of the material object but a recognition of the divine realities they point to—just as the Ark pointed to the glory of God.

Satan also give fake signs and wonders. Mary apparitions are those. Jesus nor apostles ever taught people to do penance, devote to mary, or that people will be delivered from purgatory by wearing mary necklace, or to pray the rosary.
Its all satanic. Thats why you need to read the bible and realize whats from God and whats not. Acts 17❤

Jesus is the only one who has Ascended into heaven from the resurrection of the dead, but there were the ones that came out of the graves after Jesus's resurrection to life and they went into the city and appeared to many, but Scripture doesn't give any words if they Ascended into heaven?

[AnneofAvonlea]

33 times she appeared… reminds me of 33 degrees of some group that does things in secret

I recently experienced the loss of a child so I thought I’d gain wisdom or comfort in how Mary dealt with the loss of Jesus and since I listen to MacArthur nightly, I looked for sermons about Mary but all I find is his obsession with the Catholic view of Mary. How disappointing. This is all he has to say about the mother of Jesus?

Our KING Jesus Christ Mather she is not responsible what everybody sin they committed behind close door in order to deleted or even speaking in our behalf to talking to her Son JESUS CHRIST and her Savior and King to tell him to have mercy on you because you worshipping and Glamorizing and Glorifying Mother of JESUS CHRIST. One thing all humanity forget JESUS CHRIST Mother she is not God even though she is granddaughter of KING David as Jewish Blood line but she is not gentile just like you in me. For us as new Testimony in the Revolution KING JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME he is the Only one who are starter and the finisher because of his precious Blood he shut on the Cross on Calvary but not The one his Mother Mary JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME. The fact is when JESUS CHRIST Christ Mother when she died her body and SOUL don't go back to heaven but her soul but her body she bury it in Jerusalem holy Land in private place no one Human being or DEVIL cannot find. Just like prophet Moses his dead body is also you cannot find where they bury him either. As a human being the only savior and King we need his Name is CHRIST THE KING not his Mother Mary. Because she need a Savoir and King too as a sinner. Please be Caution who you worshipping and Glamorizing and Glorifying before is too late. Because in heaven only Our King Jesus Christ Mighty Name is one who is in charge and have many keys whether in the Gate Of HELL or in the Gate Of HEAVEN who ever who worshipping JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME Alone and without him your immortal SOUL will be in trouble but Jesus Christ Mother she will not helping about your immortal SOUL from HELL. But please run to JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME ALONE. Before is too late..

Honoring a man's mother is a glory to the man. Indifference or rudeness to a man's mother is an insult to the man.
