Mary is not the “Mother of God.”

Synod Entrusted to Mary's Care
Submitted by Matt Costella on Oct, 19, 2010

A “special synod on the Middle East” is being held in Rome through October 24, 2010. Noting the significance of the date of 11 October 1962 as when

“Pope John XXIII inaugurated the Second Vatican Council on what was then the feast of the Divine Motherhood of Mary” (www. Zenit.org, 10/11/10),


Pope Benedict XVI said, “With this gesture, with this date, Pope John wished to entrust the whole council into the motherly hands and maternal heart of the Madonna.” He continued,

“We too begin on Oct. 11, we too wish to entrust this synod, with all its problems, with all its challenges, with all its hopes to the maternal heart of the Madonna, the Mother of God.”

Once again, the Roman Church has declared herself to be in opposition to biblical truth.

Mary is not the “Mother of God.”

The Bible teaches she was the “mother of our Lord” Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Lk. 1:43).

The Bible teaches that she, like all of us, was in need of a Savior to deliver her from the power, penalty, and one day, the very presence of sin (v. 47). The Mary of Scripture neither hears nor answers prayers.

She has no special powers or position which may be used to entreat the Son of God on behalf of anyone for anything. Fundamentally,

Rome remains a false religious system, “deceiving and being deceived” (2 Tim. 3:13).
