Catholics mostly believe that Mary is like God. Some people pray to Mary or believe that she has the same Godly power as Jesus, yet, nothing in the scripture indicates this. The idea of Mary being like God is man made rather than from the Holy Spirit and it contradicts the teaching of Jesus and I believe it is idolatry because it worships something/someone that is not God as God. They ask Mary for forgiveness using a rosarie necklace. Yet, Jesus/the Father is the only one we worship. God is a jealous God. We know not to worship idols. An idol is identifying the powers of God to anything that is not God. Catholics should immediately cease their worship and idolatry with Mary. However, if they don’t choose to do so, we still love them. We still believe they are an important part of the body of Christ, but the more we gain Jesus’ perspective, the closer we will come to him and the closer we will come to the Kingdom of Heaven.
46 As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. 47 Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak to you.”[g]
48 Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 49 Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. 50 Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
Paul wrote “And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.”
