The Catholic Mary is truly Semiramis?

[Alwayreckles93]

I've have been doing deep research over this topic that Catholic Mary isn't really the real biblical Mary Jesus mother Mary. I always find it interesting how Catholics claim they do not idolized Mary when they have pictures and statues of Mary all over the church. A friend of husband and I claims that Catholic Marie is in reality Semiramis how the Vaticano has lied to the Catholic society with bad information. A few Catholic friends of mine at work claim that the Catholic Church is the truth and only Church I find it hard to believe. Now Jesus was born in Jerusalem and preach now how on Earth did the Vatican ended up in Italy when Jesus was never born in Italy? I remember a priest got so aggrieveded and super angry at me when I asked him this question and of course he had no answer and had no idea how to respond all. He told me to just believe in Catholic Church and NEVER question it. Later I ask the priest so you want me to idolized that Vatican later the priest told me to stop being a smart alec. I was shocked. So this called my attention and it makes me want to know more. So is Catholic Marie truly Semiramis? I won't be surprised if I see some Catholic get angry a my question but I am not attacking anyone I just want to know if a Christian here maybe has some good information.

First, St Peter's Square is the approximate site of Peter's inverted crucifixion. There's a road out of Rome called "Quo Vadis" which is reportedly where Peter had a vision of Christ walking into the city as he was fleeing and he stopped and asked Him where He was going. Jesus replied that He was going to the city to be crucified again, inspiring Peter to return and literally take up his own cross, asking to be inverted because he was unworthy to die in the same way as Christ.

All the Catholic "Patron Saints" are suspiciously similar to the pagan pantheon of gods. Mars became St Martin, the only saint with a sword. Peter was Hades, complete with the keys to the afterlife, the whole lot are there if you look at them. All believers were referred to as saints by Paul. It only became an official status when Constantine converted and needed a way to present Christianity to the Empire, then got amplified after the Nicean Council met.

Mary is also Hera, Aphrodite, Venus, Hathor and any number of high profile goddesses of pagan origin.

Some of the bible is based off of the legends and mythology of the area. Assyran, Babylonian, Sumerian, etc. Stuff like the Epic Of Gilgamesh

Jesus was born in bethlehem, raised for a time in Egypt for a time and then nazareth, crucified in Jerusalem.

The Vatican is built where saint Peter was crucified. It's the base of where the Christian church in Europe was founded and where a lot of saints and martyrs died. There's 2000 years of history there. Constantinople the city built by the Emperor who converted the Roman empire to Christianity is where the orthodox church considers holy.

Statues of Mary the mother of jesus and not idols (there are 3 Mary's in the gospel)

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

Luke 1 :28-31

The figure of Mary in the Catholic Church is deeply rooted in the Bible and Christian tradition. Mary is honored as the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and is recognized as a model of faith and obedience to God. The veneration of Mary (which is not worship, as worship is reserved for God alone) is based on her unique role in the plan of salvation.

As for statues and images, these are not objects of idolatry but tools to remind and inspire the faithful. Statues of Mary serve as visible signs to direct our attention to what they represent: her faith, her example, and the mystery of the Incarnation.

The idea that Mary is Semiramis or that the Catholic Church has hidden information is an unfounded claim. Semiramis is a figure from Mesopotamian mythology, whereas Mary is a historical and biblical figure.

Finally, the Catholic Church grew in continuity with the Christian community founded by Jesus and His apostles, which spread throughout the Roman Empire, including Rome, where Peter and Paul, two of the principal apostles, were martyred. The Vatican’s presence in Italy stems from this history, not from any ‘geographical contradiction.’ It’s important to seek reliable sources to better understand the Catholic faith.

Ok how do you explain Jesus was born and preach in Jerusalem and his apostle were also around that continent how did the Vatican all ended up I Italy when Jesus and his apostle preaching all took place in Jerusalem? In what Bible scriptures states that Jesus travel to Italy to establish the Vatican? They didn't invented airplane back in Bible times.

You ever prayed for someone? Has anyone ever prayed for you?

James 5:16

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

That's what Catholics do, they ask Mary to pray for them... Is Mary not righteous? So then her prayer must have great power right? If you're a Christian, then you believe she is still alive right?

Matthew 22:32

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

Catholics do not worship Mary as a god figure, but do respect her and ask for her help, as they would ask other Christians for help.

Galatians 6:2

2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

As to Christianity spreading through Rome and the formation of Roman Catholicism, didn't the Roman general Pompey conquered Jerusalem? Wasn't Judea for a time a Roman province.. Wasn't that time specifically when Jesus was in the flesh? After all Jesus was arrested and crucified by the Romans right? So Christianity arose in the Roman Empire and spread far and wide.

Mark 16:15
15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

Many historians argue the primary reason Rome fell to pieces was because of Christianity. Jesus conquered Rome through peace and truth, because the Romans were no longer able to conquer nations and displace their local god with a lie about a roman deity with similar characteristics. In the end God wins.

Ephesians 6:12
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

The Catholic Church holds Mary as more important then Jesus. No one should believe in any Church, the Bible says that Jesus says, believe in me and thou shalt be saved.

[Alwayreckles93]

Excellent intelligente answer thank you brother 🙏

[LiamS95]

You're very welcome it's just the truth.

[Alwayreckles93]

I can tell you do really take time to read your Bible.

Technically the Vatican is not in Italy, it is in Vatican City, it is an independent country, but why is it there rather than Jerusalem? It is because it was built on the grave of St Peter who died there. That is why the main building is St Peter’s basilica.

[Alwayreckles93]

Ok then show me with a Bible scriptures then?

[strateguy632]
