She even calls herself the handmaid of the LORD
Not the wife of Jehovah or the queen of heaven,
She is wife to Joseph.
The apostles simply make mention her as a woman (not even by name) in Gal 4:4
But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
As did Christ when she stated they were out of wine
Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
So Christ was made of a human woman made under the law (he was not made of a queen of heaven).
Which reminds me, I recall this conversation (which involved a little a comparison) which was used to justify Mary being a queen of heaven using in 1 Kings 2:19. And in the which Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and Solomon the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne.
He had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand.
And so the reasoning went, that since Solomon was the king of Israel, and Jesus (like Solomon) is the Son of David so then calling Mary queen of heaven is justified being centered around the fact that she is the mother of a King (Jesus, King of kings) and seeing how the kings of Israel treated their mothers. Jesus would do the same in like manner.
Jesus is greater than Solomon (Jesus created both Solomon and Mary) who calls herself a handmaid not a queen.
Okay, so Mary (like Bathsheba, King Solomon's mother) desires to speak to her son (in this case Jesus)
But they arent compareble
And probably because Solomon didnt create the one who he had came through as Jesus Christ did.
And so while king Solomon stood up to meet Bathsheba, him bowing down to her
Jesus does no such thing when Mary wants to talk to him
The people notice Mary and Jesus brethren stood without here
Mat 12:46 While he yet talked to the people,
behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Mat 12:47 Then one said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him,
Who is my mother?
and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
There was no getting up and bowing down to Mary
And Solomon (who was used for an example) sat down on his throne. But they point out how he had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand.
When Jesus was asked about being this here
Mark 10:37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
They didnt know what they were asking, he replies...
Mark 10:40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
He didnt say it was for my mother the queen of heaven that would be assumed into the text, theres other verses on the throne.
Solomon might have bowed before his mother, Joseph dream shows his mother and brethren bowing to him. And Jesus didnt bow before his mother so might depend on what you compare it with.
indeed, Mary is Jesus handmaid/servant
Bathsheba is Solomon mother and she exist before Solomon.
Jesus exist before Mary, and yes Mary is His servant. Mary is His creation and a servant to her Creator.
Tradition put a mother as a person who have authority to her son, or at least big influence.
Mary as a mother like queen of heaven, believed to have big authority in heaven. Than Indonesian catholic have special pray of submission to Mary.
I believe that is the goal, to redirect our submission other God in this case Mary though they not openly say. This teaching is design to mislead step by step, to make the target unaware or too late to realize.
This prayer below is in Indonesian, the translator machine not very accurate.
The title must be Submission pray to Mary, can we submit to Mary while we already submit our self to Jesus?
Look sentence by sentence, the prayer ask Mary to take over they mind. Is Mary have a power to do so?
Is Mary as powerful as God that able to direct billions of people.
