REPLY TO JUST FOR CATHOLICS.ORG. 1: MARY THE DISCIPLE OF CHRIST

The Blessed Mother God carrying the Lord in her arms

JUST FOR BORN AGAIN 1

Mary, The Disciple of Christ

[“All generations shall call me blessed,” said Mary, and indeed, she is blessed among all woman. There are two great reasons why Mary, the mother of our Lord, is forever blessed. St Augustine speaks about this in one of his sermons:]

Yeah, “All generations shall call me blessed,” said Mary. Dr. Joseph Mizzi affirmed it. Mary is blessed among all woman. Take note he wrote ‘ALL’ woman. Yet, is this affirmation of Dr. Joseph Mizzi of onlyforcatholics.org:

‘official’ for all Born Again? NO, NO, NO… Mr. Mizzi has no authority to speak for all Born Again and in fact there is reason for us to believe that he is saying that simply to deceive us Catholics, just to make us believe that they accept the Blessed Mother of Jesus but in reality the Born Again HATE and ABHORE Mary the Mother of Jesus.

In fact, how many Born Again have you met saying: “Mary, is just an ordinary woman. She is nothing. She is not important”? He, he, he… You see the lies. Dr. Joseph Mizzi is a great pretender here.

On the other hand, I thank Dr. Joseph Mizzi for calling Mary THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD. How nice of you, Dr. Mizzi. He, he, he… We’ve got two from you: MARY IS BLESSED AMONG ‘ALL’ WOMAN and MARY, THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD. Very good!

Thank you also for citing St. Augustine and for calling him SAINT. Ha, ha, ha… If you are not aware a saint is not ‘A DUNGHILL COVERED WITH SNOW’. Ha, ha, ha…

Now let me check your quote from ST. AUGUSTINE, Bishop and Doctor of the Catholic Church and definitely not a member of the born again sects because he hates heretics like them.

[“But look here, my brothers and sisters, concentrate more, I beg you, on what follows, concentrate more on what Christ the Lord said as he stretched out his hand over his disciples: This is my mother and these are my brothers; and whoever does the will of my Father who sent me, that person is a brother to me and a sister and a mother (Matthew 12:49-50).]

I hope you will not deny Dr. Mizzi that it refers to our ‘Spiritual’ relationship with Christ and therefore not a denial of Mary’s special role in the History of Salvation as THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD.

[Didn't the Virgin Mary do the will of the Father? I mean, she believed by faith, she conceived by faith, she was chosen to be the one from whom salvation in the very midst of the human race would be born for us, she was created by Christ before Christ was created in her. Yes, of course, holy Mary did the will of the Father.]

Thank you St. Augustine. Mary is twice worthy to be the Mother of the Lord then: First, because she conceived and gave birth to Jesus biologically and Second, because SHE BELIEVED AND ‘DID’ THE WILL OF THE FATHER.

Ha, ha, ha… It is NOT FAITH ALONE then for Mary Dr. Mizzi but FAITH AND GOOD WORKS… Faith + Doing the Will of the Father. Ha, ha, ha… Thank you. I think, I’m liking you. He, he, he…

O, I want to thank you again. You called Mary ‘HOLY MARY’. Ha, ha, ha… I have dialogued with so many Born Again Dr. Mizzi and you know what? They kept on telling me that Mary is a SINNER. Here you are AFFIRMING THE HOLINESS OF MARY. It means your fellow Born Again are wrong and the Catholic Church is right after all. Isn’t it? Ha, ha, ha…

[ And therefore it means more for Mary to have been a disciple of Christ than to have been the mother of Christ. It means more for her, an altogether greater blessing, to have been Christ's disciple than to have been Christ's mother. That is why Mary was blessed, because even before she gave him birth, she bore her teacher in her womb.]

Perfectly Catholic Theology. Mary is a Disciple of Christ and a Biological Mother of Christ. One is Spiritual Relation and the other is Biological. The Spiritual Union between Mary and Christ is of course greater than the Physical Union. Both Mary is both spiritually and biologically related to Christ. It is wrong to separate the two like what the Born Again are doing. Much more they heretically downplays the biological relation of Mary with Jesus and denies her spiritual union with Him by calling her ‘just a sinner’.

[“Just see if it isn't as I say. While the Lord was passing by, performing divine miracles, with the crowds following him, a woman said: Fortunate is the womb that bore you. And how did the Lord answer, to show that good fortune is not really to be sought in mere family ties? Rather blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it (Luke 11:27-28). So that is why Mary, too, is blessed, because she heard the word of God and kept it. She kept truth safe in her mind even better than she kept flesh safe in her womb. Christ is truth, Christ is flesh; Christ as truth was in Mary's mind, Christ as flesh in Mary's womb; that which is in the mind is greater than what is carried in the womb.]

Once again the Blessed Mother didn’t practice Faith Alone of the Born Again. She heard… She LISTENED to the Word of God and She KEPT it in her heart. That is FAITH + GOOD WORKS. That is why Mary is our Catholic model for a true disciple of Christ. Not the heretical Luther and the Born Again who follow his invented doctrine of SOLA FIDE or FAITH ALONE.

[“Mary is holy, Mary is blessed, but the Church is something better than the Virgin Mary.]

HA, HA, HA… MARY IS HOLY FOR US CATHOLICS BUT ‘JUST A SINNER FOR BORN AGAIN’. Mary is blessed for Catholics but ‘ordinary person’ for Born Again.

“The Church is something better than the Virgin Mary”. OF COURSE, BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE LORD IS GREATER AND BETTER… INFINITELY BETTER THAN MARY. The Church being the Body of Christ is greater than Mary because Mary is a member of the Church. But she is the most Blessed of the members of the Church except the Lord Jesus its Head and Builder.

[Why? Because Mary is part of the Church, a holy member, a quite exceptional member, the supremely wonderful member, but still a member of the whole body. That being so, it follows that the body is something greater than the member. The Lord is the head, and the whole Christ is head and body. How shall I put it? We have a divine head, we have God as our head.” (St. Augustine, Sermon 72A).

Thank you so St. Augustine. You are indeed one of our best Catholic theologians and one of the greatest of our Catholic Bishops. Praise the Lord you are not stupid to invent heretical dogmas like FAITH ALONE and BIBLE ALONE.

[So Mary is blessed, firstly, because she is the mother of Christ, the theotokos, the Mother of God according to humanity.]

Of course, Mary is BLESSED. She is the MOTHER OF CHRIST, correct. And she is THE MOTHER OF GOD… The Mother of the Incarnate God.

[This is a unique privilege among all people and in all generations, and no-one else can share it.]

OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU DR. MIZZI IS THAT THE BORN AGAIN HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE SAYING THAT MARY IS AN ORDINARY WOMAN. THEN, THE BORN AGAIN ARE SAVED ALREADY YET MARY FOR THEM IS ‘DEAD’. IT MEANS SHE IS NOT YET SAVED. SHE IS NOT IN HEAVEN BECAUSE SHE IS DEAD. HOW CAN IT BE THAT THE HYPOCRITICAL TELEVANGELISTS OF THE BORN AGAIN ARE SAVED WHILE THE BLESSED MOTHER OF THE LORD IS NOT SAVED FOR THEM?

[Though this privilege is unique and wonderful, Mary is even more blessed for yet another reason. She is more blessed for being a disciple of Christ, a member of his body, the Church, than for being his human mother. Mary is Christ’s disciple because she believed God’s Word and obeyed his will.]

HE, HE, HE… THIS IS CATHOLIC THEOLOGY AND DEFINITELY NOT THE BORN AGAN THEOLOGY. HE, HE, HE… WELL, THANK YOU FOR AFFIRMING IT.

[We cannot share Mary’s first blessing, but we all can, and indeed we ought to share, her greater blessing.]

AS LONG AS YOU UPHOLD YOUR HERETICAL DOGMA OF FAITH ALONE WHICH IS AN INVENTION OF MARTIN LUTHER THEN IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO IMITATE THE GREATER BLESSING OF MARY. BECAUSE IT IS NOT BY FAITH ALONE BUT BY DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER. JESUS NEVER TEACH ‘JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE’ IN ANY OF THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS AND EVEN IN THE ENTIRE NEW TESTAMENT WRITINGS.

[ The Gospel calls all people to repentance and faith in Christ for salvation.]

See, it is NOT FAITH ALONE but FAITH + REPENTANCE.

[ Those of us who believe God’s Word, trust in the Lord Jesus, and live in obedience to the Father are, like Mary, disciples of Christ and members of his body.]

YES, THAT IS FAITH + TRUST IN THE LORD + OBEDIENCE. THAT IS WHAT MARY DID AND THAT IS HOW SHE LIVED AND PRACTICED HER TRUE CHRISTIAN FAITH. MARY’S FAITH IS NOT ‘FAITH ALONE.

[What an unspeakable blessing that Christ should call us his brothers, sisters and mother! A greater blessing we could never enjoy.]

CHRIST NEVER CALLS ANYONE OF YOU HIS MOTHER. THE BORN AGAIN CAN ONLY DREAM OF IT. MY MESSAGE FOR YOU IS: REPENT AND GET AWAY FROM YOUR HERESIES AND RETURN TO THE TRUE CHURCH FOUNDED BY JESUS. BECAUSE THIS MARIAN THEOLOGY THAT YOU PRESENTED IS NOT BORN AGAIN BUT CATHOLIC THEOLOGY AS ST. AUGUSTINE HAS PROVEN.
