The Accused is going to Hell (For Rejecting Catholic Mariology)

On the Intercession of the Saints Judges 6:12-15 is a Theophany. It’s not a creature but the Creator in ethereal form! Of course, we can pray to YHWH! He is God. PRO: Angels are always interceding: 1 Corinthians 11:10 Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels. CON: I agree with the intercession of the angels NOT the invocation of the angels. 1 Corinthians 11:10 proves my point. Matthew 17:3 Jesus called Moses and Elijah and they conversed. The two are alive but Surely, Jesus is not asking the two to pray for him in heaven although that’s a possibility. The fact is, this is a face-to-face communion, a live one. The Roman Catholic dogma of invocation of the saints is very different from the Transfiguration of Christ. We don’t have the saints in heaven face-to-face with us AND what the Scriptures only commands is that the saints on earth must intercede for people on earth (1 Timothy 2:1) and also, it’s explicit that the saints in heaven are unaware of what's happening on earth unless God told them about it ( Luke 15:1-10) On the Assumption of Mary I believe that Elijah was carried away to heaven based on 2 Kings 2:1,11 and I also believe that Enoch was miraculously carried away to walk with God based on Heb. 11:5; Gen. 5:24 but Mary was assumed to heaven based on what? The Scripture never records it. On the Queen-ship of Mary Psalm 45:9 doesn’t talk about a woman becoming a queen by virtue of his son becoming king but on the contrary, the context of the verse talks about a queen who is the bride of the king. That is, Psalm 45 is a wedding song. Any one can read the entire Psalm chapter 45 and any one can clearly see that it doesn’t talk about either Mary or a mother’s queen-ship at all! A footnote in the New American Bible (NAB; a Roman Catholic version) is helpful: [Psalm 45] A song for the Davidic king's marriage to a foreign princess from Tyre in Phoenicia. The court poet sings (Psalm 45:2, 18) of God's choice of the king (Psalm 45:3, 8), of his role in establishing divine rule (Psalm 45:4-8), and of his splendor as he waits for his bride (Psalm 45:9-10). The woman is to forget her own house when she becomes wife to the king (Psalm 45:11-13). Her majestic beauty today is a sign of the future prosperity of the royal house (Psalm 45:14-17). The psalm was retained in the collection when there was no reigning king, and came to be applied to the king who was to come, the messiah. http://nccbuscc.org... Selected prophesies of the Blessed Virgin Ezekiel 44:2 I agree that this refers to Mary as ever-virgin. The church fathers agree. Ecclesiasticus 24:24 This is not an inspired scripture. Early church fathers agree. Melito (A.D. 170) and Origen ( A.D. 185-254) rejected the Apocrypha, (Eccl. Hist. VI. 25, Eusebius) as does the Muratorian Canon (A.D.170-200 ). Any one may see for themselves that Ecclesiasticus is explicitly not inspired: Ecclesiasticus 25:19 Any iniquity is insignificant compared to a wife's iniquity. It clearly contradicts James 2:10, Romans 3:10 and Matthew 21:31 Proverbs 30:11-12 doesn’t talk about Mary at all. Proverbs 8:35 is talking about Jesus not Mary! This is blasphemy! The text of Proverbs 8 talks about Wisdom, the eternally begotten offspring of God (The Nicene Creed is also based on this). –John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 1:24-25 Again, Wisdom 7:26 is talking about Jesus. Paul alluded to this Inter-testamental Jewish text in his epistle the Hebrews 1:3. Psalm 139:8 is not Mary according to Augustine himself: "'Arise, O Lord, into Thy resting place' (ver. 8). He saith unto the Lord sleeping, 'Arise.' Ye know already who slept, and who rose again. ...'Thou, and the ark of Thy sanctification:' that is, Arise, that the ark of Thy sanctification, which Thou hast sanctified, may arise also. He is our Head; His ark is His Church: He arose first, the Church will arise also. The body would not dare to promise itself resurrection, save the Head arose first. The Body of Christ, that was born of Mary, hath been understood by some to be the ark of sanctification; so that the words mean, Arise with Thy Body, that they who believe not may handle." - Augustine (Expositions on the Psalms, 132:8) Notice that Augustine mentions Mary, saying that Christ's body was "born of Mary". Thus, it can't be argued that Augustine wasn't thinking of Mary at the time that he wrote. He *was* thinking of her, but he didn't view her as the ark. He didn't even mention a Marian interpretation as a secondary possibility. The only alternative he mentions to seeing the church as the ark is seeing Christ's flesh as the ark. CONCLUSION: I honestly presented a logical, coherent, scriptural and historically-unbiased arguments and my opponent did not give refutations to it. My opponent did not give irrefutable evidence for Roman Catholic Mariology. Hence, I am not going to Hell.
