THE MOTHER OF JESUS
===================
The most beautiful story ever told is the story of the Birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ. And a part of that beautiful story is the account of Mary, the
Mother of our Lord.
But, though Mary be worthy of all Honor as a woman favored of God above all
others, and though she be indeed a splendid, beautiful, godly creature, and
though she be the Mother of our Lord, Mary can neither intercede for us with
God, nor can she save us, and certainly, we MUST NOT worship Her. There is
nothing clearer in the Word of God than this truth.
Let us notice thsi truth as it is diligently compared with the teaching of the
Roman Catholic Church and the Word of God. The following quotations are taken
from the Books, " The Glories of Mary" which were written by Cardinal St.
Alphonse di Liguori, one of the greatest devotional writers of the Roman
Catholic Church, and the Word of God taken from the King James Version of the
Holy Bible. The Editor's notice says, "Everything that our Saint has written
is, as it were, a Summary of a Catholic tradition on the subject that it treats
: it is not an individual author; it is, so to speak, the church herself that
speaks to us by the voice of her prophets, her apostles, her pontiffs, her
saints, her fathers, her doctors of all nations and all ages. No other book
appears to be more worthy of recommendation in this respect than "The Glories
of mary" ." Note the Following DEADLY Parallel.

*******************************************************************************
Very infrequently Mary is mentioned in the Whole of the New Testament and she
claims NO authority, no Power, and is given NO OTHER GLORY than that of being
"The Mother of Jesus". In fact Mary herself suggested to us in her own
splendid testimony that instead of saving others she needed a Saviour, and
Mary said " My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my Spirit hath rejoiced in
God my Saviour." Luke 1:46-47
If Mary must need have Christ for Her saviour, and She did, how much more
shall we hasten to put our trust in Him. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved and thy House." Acts 16:31
