We have to all understand everyone in the Bible (characters, person) or a religious person, like a pastor, pope, bishop, priest, are not to be worshipped. They could be acknowledge by giving thanks to God for their testimonials of faithfully walking with Him. God wouldn’t be jealous for us loving or respecting them. We are not to worship or look up to them or each other as God’s(deity) because we are all flawed. In doing so we are putting wait upon a person they cannot carry especially the expectation of them being perfect. Not even Jesus saw himself to be righteous, only God. Jesus never asked us to worship him, just to follow him. John 14:9-11 Jesus said, “the Father and I are one, to see me is to see the Father.” The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father living in me, who is doing his work. Let us not be ignorant, if Jesus said he does nothing of himself it’s only logical for us to understand God is in complete control of everything he does, “everything.” If we follow Jesus then should we be knowledgeable, wise and understanding that we also have no strength or power of our own, totally surrendering our free will to God as Jesus himself did. With this understanding we know that we ourselves aren’t worthy to be worshipped or praise like a deity, it’s all about God and not man who can become conceited. Walking in humility and selflessness is to follow and be like Jesus. To take credit for someone else’s work is to be a thief and a liar.

Every day I go into deep meditation by praying the mysteries of the Holy Rosary. The Holy Rosary (crown of roses)are beads use to count prayers. The prayers are revelation of Mary the virgin as she was chosen to give birth to the messiah. When the messiah came into the world he began his mission establishing the kingdom on earth and was crucified and resurrected for man’s salvation. As I understood it pretty much summons up everything about Mary’s role and that of Jesus in the New Testament and is only use in th Catholic church. I am not Catholic but I love praying the Rosary because of it’s meaning to me specifically. The Rosary to me is by no means worshipping Mother Mary, it is repetition of what the angel Gabriel greeted her with in acknowledgement of her calling by God. And in doing so I myself feel like I am in oneness of the same calling. In understanding the mystery of Godliness the Blessed Mother immaculate conception was one of God greatest. In praying the Rosary you began to gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding, connect with God on a different realm. To me there nothing wrong to praying for Mary to intercede for us to her son, it’s no different than when we go to our Pastor, Pope, Bishop or any head of the church to pray for us. Think of it, they are not God either, but vessels, nor are they to be worshiped, but being obedient to the will of God as Jesus did. So it is with ignorance when people would quote John 14:6 Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Yes makes a lot of sense when understanding John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. It is and will always be to get to God through Jesus the manifestation of the Word.

We should understand the relevance and meaning to Mary the mother of Jesus by reading Luke 1:26-56 Vs 28-The angel went to her and said,”Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Vs 41-When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Now upon this also was one of the evidence as to Mary been given the authority to intercede only through God in her. Also John 19:26-27 another time it was mentioned of her importance at the cross when Jesus saw her there and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “here is your mother.” From that time on,this disciple took her into his own. God is strategic when he made the focus once again on Mary at the crucifixion as it was when Gabriel first came to her. If Moses could of seen a burning bush and be given such authority and power, remember the fire was burning in Mary entire body for months. I could just imagine how it would of affected her spiritually. Moses also never took credit for the things he was lead to do by God. No true faithful man or woman to God would ever put themselves before God. They will always confess all their good works they do only come from the Lord God himself, they can do nothing of their own, but only through Him.
