The Mary of Catholicism,
The Rival of the Lord Jesus

The Roman Catholic church has fabricated a Mary, which in many cases is a carbon copy, a very close resemblance or an exaltation of her to the point of canceling the Lord Jesus out of what he has uniquely accomplished for us. By unscripturally exalting their Mary in this manner, not only has glory and confidence been taken away from the Lord Jesus, but it has often been replaced with reliance upon the Mary of Catholicism for various things, including salvation. Hence, this fabrication has led to a false plan of salvation, and with it, idolatry. Below are 24 comparisons between the Mary of Catholicism and the Lord Jesus.

  • Jesus was sinless (2 Cor. 5:21; etc.)

  • Jesus resurrected bodily (Jn. 2:19-21; etc.)

  • Jesus, the last Adam (1 Cor. 15:45)

  • Jesus a man of sorrows (Isa. 53:3)

  • Jesus, the Redeemer (1 Pet. 1:18,19)

  • Jesus, gate to Heaven (Jn. 10:7)

  • Jesus crushed the serpent’s head (Gen. 3:15)

  • Jesus crowned with thorns (Jn. 19:5)

  • Jesus the Son of God (Lk. 22:70)

  • Jesus is prayed to (Jn. 14:14 cf. Acts 7:59)

  • Mary is our helper

  • Mary is our rock
