Matt Slick Bible Study - Catholicism - Mary - 6/14/17

So we're live all right. It's June 14th 2017 for those of you who might have been on a high-speed rocket going out to some other planet and you know solar system coming back and a little bit of relativity issues there.

The Program Opens With Banter and a Preview of the Mary Study

So just informing you that if that's the case. We got one person right now who's smiling about that. You think it's pretty funny don't you? Yeah it is and yeah I'm a funny guy right? You guys when you say funny looking and uh because it's pretty junior high-ish but you know.

Okay so what we're gonna do tonight is talk about Mary and uh the Roman Catholic heresies and I mean heresies and I mean heresies of the Roman Catholic Church. Now um I know that a lot of Protestants think that I'm too rude and mean about the Roman Catholic Church and to be honest I'm not rude enough and mean enough about the demonic doctrines taught out of that uh that Babylon and uh I'm dead serious when I talk like that because of what it teaches.

I know what it teaches. I know how it violates the gospel. I know how it uh brings people into eternal damnation by enslaving them to the authority and the system and the penance and the indulgences and the priesthood and all of that stuff that belongs to the Catholic Church because they have to go to the Catholic Church for their salvation and it teaches apostate doctrines.

I've been going over this uh now for a couple three weeks two or three weeks and what I'm gonna do now is go through the issues of Roman Catholicism uh issue of Mary and uh let me just tell you after I pray when we get in I'm going to slide to slide to slide uh kind of be going quickly because we've got about an hour to do this and there's a lot to uh to cover and um then next week hopefully I'll be doing stuff on the Eucharist and the Mass and why it's heretical as well um and their view of it and I'll show you from scripture why it can't be the case and what they're doing is actually idolatrous in that context so we don't have too many people here now because the radio show isn't live here and I usually will announce what I'm doing and people shut because they want to hear it but now there's no way to communicate to them and unfortunately um I wasn't given the opportunity to be able to set up a means by which people could be could contact me let's cut off quickly that's another story and it wasn't anything I did wrong but at any rate so what let me do is pray and we'll just jump right in uh and uh let me just tell you before I pray though that this is an adaptation of a coursework that I developed a couple three four five I don't know how many years ago uh it's like 220 slides got a manual on the whole bit and um maybe one day I'll I'll actually go through the slide go through the manual go through everything slowly make a DVD set out of it but for now we're doing this put it up on YouTube a shortened version of it.

Okay. Good thank you very much for listening. And uh let's pray Lord Jesus. We thank you for this time and I ask that you would greatly bless it and that those who would hear it Roman Catholics included would see the idolatrous nature of the exaltation of Mary and that they would come to a place of repentance and acknowledgement that the Roman Catholic Church is not presenting the truth.

And Lord I ask that you would open up their hearts just as you open up Lydia's mind and heart to understand the truth of what Paul was saying in Acts 16 14 as you open up the the minds of the people to understand scripture in Luke 24 45.

We ask Lord that you would do the same thing not only to me but to all the listeners all the viewers. And we ask this Jesus in your precious name amen all right now Roman Catholicism elevates Mary the mother of Jesus to an astonishingly high position.

Roman Catholic Claims About Mary and the Warning Against Going Beyond Scripture

She's called all holy all powerful co-redeemer uh Mediatrix the mother of God full of grace the queen of heaven. That's just to name a few of the things. Now I've mentioned this before and you need to understand this verse first Corinthians 4 6 which says that you are not to exceed what is written.

Don't exceed what's written in the word of God. Don't do that. They're doing that all she's all holy all powerful co-redeemer Mediatrix mother of God full of grace the queen of heaven. Now full of grace.

People are going to say to Luke 1 28 that that is in scripture. It's not. And I'll show you why. Later on we'll get to that. But what they're doing is um is exalting Mary to such a high level that basically it is idolatry.

They're giving to Mary what belongs to God. So let's look at what the actually does say about Mary. I went through and developed this list. Mary's not mentioned all that much. Nevertheless she was prophesied in Isaiah 7 14.

She was highly favored. And that's what it means in the Greek in Luke 1 28. Not full of grace but highly favored. We'll get to that later. She's the mother of Jesus. Uh Mary was told that Jesus was anointed.

Excuse me. Mary fled to Egypt to escape Herod. Mary bore Jesus while she was a virgin. Mary looked for Jesus at the temple. Mary was with Jesus at the wedding in Cana. Mary sought Jesus as he taught at a house.

Mary was present at the crucifixion. Mary was committed to the care of John. Mary was with the disciples in Jerusalem. There you go. She's not called Mediatrix co-redemptrix. She's not called all holy.

Uh whatever. None of this is attributed to her in scripture. And because the Roman Catholic Church has gone beyond scripture and violated the word of God in my opinion God has therefore given them over to the depravity their hearts their minds their souls that they appear to be Christian.

But they are not on the outside they look good but on the inside they're full of dead men's bones and unholiness. That's the Roman Catholic Church. Now look this is what it says again first Corinthians 4 6.

Now these things brethren I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against another.

So we are told not to exceed what's I literally have said to Roman Catholics and others. They don't even know this verse. I'll say you know I just don't think we should exceed what's written in the word of God.

Of course we can. And then I'll have them commit to it like three or four times. And then I'll quote the verse. And they still say no. It's okay to exceed what's written. In other words they don't care about the truth of God's word.

Historical Development of Marian Dogmas and Devotions

Now uh Mary the Roman Catholic Church has been teaching on Mary for 1800 years. Mary's called the mother of God around AD 431. Prayers are offered to Mary around AD 600. The immaculate conception that she had no sin nature.

That means that she was conceived. Not that Jesus was conceived but her conception was that she was out with was without sin a sin nature. That's in 1854 uh the assumption of Mary was uh made official in 1950.

And Mary proclaimed the mother of the church in 1965. She's the mother of the church. I mean you know where do you get that out of the book of hesitations. It's just not in scripture. They've gone beyond first Corinthians 4 6.

They've exceeded what's written all right. Now what I want to do next is uh is look at 20 things the Roman Catholic Church says about Mary. Just 20. There's many more but 20 should be good. Mary was born without sin and never committed sin.

This is in paragraph 411 493 722 and 508 there in the catechism of the Catholic Church the CCC from the first instance of her Mary conception she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life.

Uh you can you know offer prayer to Mary. This is paragraph 26 75. The church has developed their prayer to the holy mother of God. Now I was at Corcoran prison years ago. I used to do prison ministry from southern California would drive to Corcoran four and a half hour drive do a prison ministry then drive back.

And I was there once. And um actually no that was a different prison. It's in San Diego County. Sorry. And I went to this prison because it was at night. We wouldn't have been at Corcoran at night. And so I was in this prison and uh and it was a Catholic service ahead of us this guy and I would go and we would preach and teach.

We take turns preaching and teaching. We'd go together. They had a good time and the prisoners loved it. And before our time was a Roman Catholic service and so I'm not going to cause any problems. I'm not going to object.

It's their time. I just sit and listen and the whole bit. And so it turned out that uh the way the security worked that they had to wait. Well I spoke and I happened to speak that night. So I spoke and I talked about various things that that you know a touch on Roman Catholicism.

All right. On the way out I was walking right next to this priest and I referenced to him the prayer that he made to Mary. He said Mary. This is what he did. He led the group. Oh mother Mary. Blah blah blah.

Would you this. Would you that would you this. And I said to him on the way out I said I'm just curious why. Why do you pray to Mary. Because we don't pray to Mary. I said. But I heard you do that. You said Mary and you you're praying and you dress her.

That's not prayer. I was just bewildered by this. A priest was telling me this. It's called cognitive dissonance. They just he couldn't get it. And what you know. And then he didn't want to talk to me anymore.

And he just separated himself from me as we were walking out of the prison. All right. Let's continue on. How about this. In paragraph 2677 by entrusting ourselves to her prayer we abandon ourselves to the will of God together with her.

That will be done. So we're entrusting ourselves to the prayer of Mary. No I'm not entrusting myself to the prayer of Mary. I'm trusting myself to the work of Christ. In paragraph 972 after speaking of the church her origin mission and destiny we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary.

Now I've used this particular one paragraph 972 many times with Catholics I'll ask them is this true. Because they can't deny. It's true. They're not allowed to deny that the catechism is is true. They have to affirm its truth.

So what I've done is said is this true. And they'll say yeah. It's true. There's no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary. Now remember this is after speaking of the church her origin mission and destiny we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary.

And I ask him. Well I would think that uh or don't. You agree with me that looking to Jesus would look better than looking to Mary. And they don't know what to do at that point. Well no she points us to Jesus.

I said you're not answering the question. But here's that's the point. There's no better way to conclude them by looking to Mary. Yes there is a better way Jesus. It's just that simple. Check this out paragraph 2030.

From the church he learns the example of holiness and recognizes its model and source in the all holy virgin Mary. I'll read the whole thing here. It is in the church in communion with all the baptized that the Christian fulfills his vocation.

From the church the Christian he learns the example of holiness and recognizes its model and source in the all holy virgin Mary. So the source and all of this is Mary not Jesus. This is idolatry. This is flat-out idolatry.

Mary's worshiped when she that's Mary is a subject of preaching and worship. She prompts the faithful to come to her son. Vatican council 2 page 420. Now um oh man I missed that. I usually take the numbers out for this short version.

But nevertheless. So people say Catholics will tell me that's no no no. That's not correct. They don't worship. I actually have the book on my shelf Vatican Council 2 page 420 and it uses the word worship.

It's right there. In paragraph 963 she's is clearly the mother of the members of Christ. So she's our mother our mother. No she's not. Oh man so much heresy so little time. Mary is the mother of God seat of wisdom.

Mary the all holy ever virgin mother of God is the masterwork of the mission of the son and the spirit in the fullness of time. Mary is acclaimed and represented in the liturgy as the seat of wisdom. Can you believe this crapola.

In all seriousness Mary is the seat of wisdom. She's the mother of God the all holy ever virgin the masterwork of the mission of of the son of Jesus. Are you kidding me. Where are they getting this stuff.

Picking it up their stupid sacred tradition that has led them into darkness. And what's really sad. And this is what gets me mad. Is they teach this to their followers. And their followers are blinded by these lies.

And their followers are going to be in hell with them. And I just came across the verse yesterday as one of the ones I want to memorize. And for some reason I have difficulty doing it. But when a blind leads the blind they both fall into the pit and parish.

Matthew 24. I forget where it was. And you know they both fall into the pit and parish. Anyway check this out. Mary is the new eve the mother of the church. It's what it says. Right there. Paragraph 975.

Marian Idolatry, Sacred Tradition, and the Charge of Going Beyond the Bible

Now look at this gigantic idol temple the marion basilica of our lady of apericida brazil. It is the largest church in the americas the largest church in the americas is a dedication to our lady of apericida that always gets me our lady of our lady of this our lady of that.

The church this temple is this this this idol location is for the our lady of this our lady of that our lady of this our lady of that our lady of they're bowing down and they're praying to Mary and they're worshiping to Mary now.

I was on a cruise a few years ago. They went to the Mexican Riviera and I speak enough Spanish to get by and uh so we were down in Mexico and went to Puerto Vallarta. I think it was. And we came inside inland.

They were doing tours and you know and uh walking around and doing shopping and blah blah blah. You know the girls were like hey look at the store over there you know and uh so everybody spoke English in the stores because that's where the tourists go.

Okay so it didn't need me. I said hey look a catholic church. I'll be right back. They don't even bother. You know my wife doesn't even bother. Can't you stay with me. She just goes. Okay because she knows I'll be walking with her.

Like look at the church the whole time. I want to go. I want to go get it over with get out of your system and come back. Okay so I go right and I go in there. You know it's like you ever seen a bird behind a window.

There's a I mean a cat behind a window inside. There's a bird outside. That's me. So I finally get to go in there. What do I see a woman on her knees with a rosary praying taking a step with each knee as she's moving down towards the idols that are on there and she's praying.

And uh I could tell she was a local and I just assumed she couldn't speak English. And I'm seeing the statues of Mary with little baby Jesus. That's how he's presented. And there was one of Jesus on the cross and she's I remember correctly trying to be fair she was walking.

She's crawling up towards the cross of Christ. Mary's to the one side and it just broke my heart. She doesn't have freedom in Christ. So on the way out you know I I approached her and I said I talked to her and I said you don't need to do this.

You just need Jesus not Mary. You need Jesus. Ask Jesus to forgive you go to him. He's God. Ask him. And she just you know not acknowledged. And she kept doing her thing. And I went outside. There were two women priests two women priests two women nuns two women nuns two nuns.

And uh get it down. Right. And uh so you know I was speaking to them in Spanish. We're talking. And I was telling them don't you know you just need to read the bible. You got to believe what the bible says.

Well the bible can only be understood if the catholic church tells us the bondage. What do you do. Sometimes I feel uh the apologetics that I do. There's a gigantic hill and it's a big hill maybe a mountain.

It's big. And I got these boulders. This is Mormonism pushing it uphill trying to get people up in the light and see the truth. Jehovah's Witnesses Islam Catholicism Atheism heresies in the church. Okay I only got two hands that was rolling back down.

And I feel like I'm constantly pushing boulders uphill. The church is weak. The Roman Catholic church is apostate. Um but you know what. I'm going to serve Jesus. Okay now who crushed the head of the serpent.

Do you know about the prophecy. It was Jesus. And this is what the Catholic church says. Mary crushed the head of the serpent. This is Pope Pius the uh the ninth ineffable deus. All our hope do we repose in the most blessed virgin.

Check that out. All our hope is in her. That's idolatry in the all fair and immaculate one who has crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent and brought salvation to the world. That's a load of theological crap.

It's just it's scubalon. That's the greek word. It's a little stronger than the word crap. I'll just start saying scubalon because that's what it is. So a handbook for today's catholic page 31. The this mother is waiting and preparing your home for you.

That's what Jesus is doing in the gospel of John. Mary's the okay paragraph 969. Therefore the blessed version is invoked in the church under the titles of advocate helper benefactrix and mediatrix. Mary the all holy.

Uh paragraph 829. Mary in her. The church is already the all holy in her. Uh in paragraph 966 she's the queen over all things. That's what it says. Queen over all things. So that she might be the more fully conformed to her son the lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.

You conceive the living god and by your prayers will deliver our souls from death. She did not conceive the living god. This is wrong. She didn't conceive him. My wife and I married. We had relations.

We conceived. Actually technically she did. I was going to say we okay. We conceived how sperm and egg come together. That's where the conception occurred. It occurred in her. And we have babies. And then they take all your money all your food.

Then they leave. But I don't know if you know about that yet. So uh so that means we conceived humans. Right. You conceived the living god. Wrong. When dog within dog they conceive dog. When cat and cat.

Cat fish and fish man and woman a person human being. Now unless you're mormon where you know god a god the father another goddess wife and every day get together. Then you have all that. Then you can conceive them.

This is idolatry. Mary is the spouse of the holy spirit. Here at holy father's speech for the world congress of ecclesiastical movements and new communities. Let us turn our gaze to mary christ's first disciple spouse of the holy spirit and mother of the church who was with the apostles at the first pentecost.

Spouse of the holy spirit. You know that doesn't sound good. Spouse of the holy spirit. Did they have a wedding ceremony. Mary is the woman of the eucharist. Therefore in the footsteps of mary woman of the eucharist the christian community lives this mystery addressed by pope by john paul ii altar of the confessio of the vatican basilica.

Uh october 17 2004. Mary delivers our souls from death. Paragraph 966. By mary's prayers she delivers souls from death. No jesus delivers souls from death. How about this one. Mary's intercession brings us the gifts of eternal salvation.

By her constant intercession continued to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. Vatican 2 document. Blah blah. There it is. By mary's intercession she brings us the gifts of eternal salvation. No jesus brings us the gift of eternal salvation.

Not mary. How about this. Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by god. No man goeth to christ but by his mother. So she is now the christ and us.

You can't get to jesus unless you go through mary. That's the vatican website. The encyclical of pope leo the 13th on the rosary. An encyclical means it's an official document proclamation that the pope has given.

That is to be read and delivered and taught in the churches around the world. Now folks this is heresy. It's damnable heresy. And people tell me you know we need to get closer to the roman catholic church.

No we don't. We need to distance ourselves from that great false church and check this out. This is the fundamentals of catholic dogma by ought page 213. Mary by her spiritual entering into the sacrifice of a divine son for men made atonement for the sins of man.

And they congruent merited the application of the redemptive grace of christ. So mary did this. Now fundamentals of catholic dogma is a book that has the neil lobstadt and the imprimatur. What that means is that it's official that nothing in it violates official roman catholic theology.

And it's worthy of being disseminated among catholics. That's what it says. Now folks it should be enough right here this alone. If you hadn't heard anything else i've said about catholicism. This should be enough for any christian to recognize the roman catholic church is false.

You just can't say this. It's idolatrous. It's worship of mary in varying forms. But they have an answer for this. See the devotion to mary is extreme. But roman catholic. Roman catholic church is quick to say that mary only receives the honor that is due to her since she is full of grace.

Mourn us later. They call this honor hyper hyperdulia. It's only given to her. Dulia is the veneration given to the saints. Those who have died in the roman catholic faith and are considered very spiritual.

Hyperdulia is the veneration given only to mary. The mother of latria is the adoration given to god alone. What they like to do is do nuances of words congruent merit condign merit strict merit. Dulia hyperdulia latria.

They define certain nuances in particular ways so that they can say yeah. It looks like worship. It tastes like worship. It smells like worship. But it's not really worship. It's just hyperdulia. We're just venerating her.

We're not worshiping her. And what i'll say to them is god is prayed to you pray to mary. God is loved you love mary. God knows all things. Apparently mary does too. God is all places. Apparently mary is too.

And they'll say no she's not. Can she hear all your prayers simultaneously all over the world. Whether you think them or speak them in different languages. And they'll say yes. So now you're attributing to mary that which belongs to god.

Basically omniscience a form of omniscience and omnipresence. Could any of us you know i'm not stupid. I can have one conversation. Pretty well two conversations i'll struggle with but i can probably get by three.

Basically i'm done now. Women can have 50. Okay. And somehow they somehow make sense of that. But i don't think it's possible. I've heard this but i don't buy it now millions all at once in different languages spoken and silently prayed all at the same time.

Where's that in scripture. And i've had roman catholics tell me. Well we don't know what it's like in heaven. That's how we we can trust that. We don't know what it's really like in heaven. And we don't know what they've done with mary.

What god has done in the the work of mary in heaven. What she what state she's in. Oh so that's that's your answer. We don't know what it is. So that's that excuses it. I mean it's just it's just they need jesus.

But it's hard to give up the devotion to mary. You can see this this uh kissing the statue kissing this is idolatrous. So let's just say that i somehow am in an official meeting with the pope with a bunch of other people.

And he's got his ring on his papal hat and his papal robe. And you know he's a pretty nice guy from what i understand. And he holds out a ring for everybody to kiss. They're kissing it. I'm not kissing it.

I'm not kissing it. We're showing him disrespect. I'd rather show him disrespect and disrespect my lord and my god. Well you call him father. I'm not calling him father. Bible said don't call any man father in the context the way it does with god.

I'm not doing that. It's against what i believe. So i was at an eastern orthodox church in twin falls a couple years ago talking to the priest. Right. And uh he said um you know i asked him what do you want me to call you.

I believe it's biblical. And he said well call me father. So i said you don't understand. I i don't believe it's biblical. I can't do that. And because they're eastern orthodox and catholicism are very similar in a lot of ways.

And he said well i'm father. So-and-so. And said well i can't call you that. I don't believe it's right. And he said you can just call me father. So i said look got into. I said look dude i'm not calling you that.

What's your name. Oh he did not like me addressing him or talking to him like that. But he was the one who was rude. He was the one after i said it's against my conscience of what i believe about god.

And he wanted me to violate that. And it made me mad. Sorry. I said look dude. Oh he didn't like that. And he he avoided me the rest of the evening. I'm like you know what. If you can't handle it. You know somebody comes up and says i can't.

I can't do that. I can't by saying that mary is worthy of hyperdulia but not the worship and adoration that belongs to god alone. They are then enabled to bow before her images pray to her ask for her intercession and protection.

They do the very same things they would do to god and yet deny its worship equal to god. You see see how clever they are. You do the exact same things to mary they would do with god. And yet they call it hyperdulia.

So it's not worshiping like god. They just define it that way. And that makes it okay. All right. Let's compare mary to god. Okay. According to what roman catholicism says. Atonement. Now on the left is scripture where it says jesus having made peace to the blood of his cross.

Now notice this mary. Mary made atonement for the sins of man. Now i'm not going to read everything. We got a lot to go over here. Still wait till we get to the apparitions. Yeah. So who crushed the serpent's head.

Look at this genesis 3 15. He shall bruise the hebrew shoof bruise crush you on the head. The prophecy is that he jesus will do it. And i already read earlier all our hope do we repose in the virgin most blessed virgin in the all fair and immaculate one who has crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent.

I could never teach that because i know it violates scripture. Genesis 3 15 says jesus will do this. Not mary. And yet this pope said mary's the one who did this. Who delivers us from death. 2 corinthians 1 10.

God who delivered us from so great a peril of death. And here mary conceived by a living god and by your prayers will deliver your souls from death. Are they comparing mary to god. Are they saying the same things that go from mary.

Did they go to god. Absolutely okay. Devotion to the lord out of first corinthians 7 35. And yet in paragraph 971 you're supposed to express this devotion to the virgin mary in liturgical feast. The mother of god.

Mary in prayer. The rosary and all this stuff. Who's the helper. The helper. And i will ask the father. He will give you another helper that he may be with you forever. That is the spirit of truth. Another.

In greek there's another the same kind talking about the holy spirit. Jesus is a helper. Another helper. But here mary is considered the helper. Now this is the holy spirit. Who's the helper. God. So mary is now called the helper.

Who's holy. 1 peter 1 16. God's holy. Who's holy. Paragraph 26 77. The mother of mercy. The all-holy one. Who's the intercessor. Jesus a high priest. Hebrews 7 25. Since he always lives to make intercession for them.

Paragraph 969. By her manifold intercession uh continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. Her intercession. Keep going. Who's a mediator. Verse timothy 2 5. Jesus. And she's called mediatrix.

In paragraph 969 you pray to god. Second corinthians 13 7. And when we pray to her we are adhering with her to the plan of the father. Paragraph 26 79. Who's sinless god. That's jesus. 1 peter 2 22. Who committed no sin.

Look what it says about mary. The catholic encyclopedia. The immaculate conception the formal act of essence of the original sin was not removed from her soul. It was excluded. It never was in her soul.

The state of original sanctity innocence and justice as opposed to original sin was conferred upon her. In other words without sin conceived without sin. Just like jesus you shall worship the lord your god and serve him only.

Matthew 4 10. And of course mary is the subject of worship preaching and worship. Vatican council 2 page 420. I wouldn't be surprised. They have a different book now that changed the word worship here.

Now this should be enough to concern anybody who believes the word of god. Who knows the word of god should concern anybody enough that you realize the roman catholic church is flaming apostate teaching idolatry.

Catholics say to me oh matt you're going to come and become a catholic. Are you insane. I'd have to give up the word of god to do that. So is mary full of grace. Because that's what they'll say matt you don't understand.

Mary's full of grace. And the church has recognized that since she's full of grace all of these things come with her. She's full of grace. You're going to like this. Catholics recite the hail mary which is part of the rosary.

The rosary is a string of beads used to count the set uh the set uh number of prayers to god and to mary. This prayer is often used in penance as it means to regain to regain grace lost due to sin. So hail mary full of grace the lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Jesus holy mary mother of god pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. You say it over and over and over and over and by saying this this paragraph over and over and over and over you get more grace infused into you do we call this sorcery.

Where you say sentences you say words as an incantation and spiritual benefit occurs because of it. Repetitive stuff. The same thing happens each time. That's sorcery. That's not saying when you pray to god for mercy and he's merciful to you.

That's not sorcery. It's sorcery when you say the same thing over and over and you want the exact same result. And so you manipulate the spiritual world by saying this thing. It's sorcery. Hail mary. Uh prayer is another form of exaltation of mary.

But the phrase full of grace in greek is platas caritas. And it occurs in only two places in the new testament. And neither one is in reference to mary. John 1 14 oh i got a type of uh extra quote in there.

Now it says. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory glory as of the only begotten from the father. Full of grace platas caritas in the greek. And stephen full of grace and power was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

That's acts 6 8. The phrase occurs in the bible once in reference to jesus once in reference to stephen. That's it. It does not occur in reference to um to mary. All right. That's uh all right. So in the uh the first verse john 1 14 refers to jesus who's obviously full of grace and he's sinless.

The second citation is dealing with stephen who's full of grace but he was a sinner. So the phrase full of grace does not necessitate that you're sinless done. This is simple. So where's the catholic church.

Get its version of luke 128. It gets it from the latin vulgate translation which says avigratia plena which is latin for full of grace gets it from the latin not the greek. But the new testament was not written in latin.

It was written in greek. And it says uh kakaritomine. That's what it says. Kakaritomine. Oh there it is kakaritomine which means one having been favored. The catholic church is wrong about this issue.

One having been favored or highly favored one kakaritomine which is full of grace. But the single word which means one having been favored we translate it into the english have a highly favored one. So to justify their profound series of heresies they drive a heresy truckload a truckload of heresy through this one verse luke 128.
