Why do Protestants hate Mary so much nowadays? Even the men who invented their religion would be sick if they saw the current state of Protestantism
>>
>>18269595
From what I've seen they dont hate Mary. They hate Catholics for blatantly worshipping her but not admitting to it even though its very fucking obvious to any outside observer with working eyes and a functioning brain that you do.
>>
Maybe they saw her true face and soured on her existence.
>>
>>18269595
Rejecting Mary's ascent into heaven in the flesh and the title "Queen of Heaven" (official Catholic Church title btw) is not "hating Mary".
>>
>>18269595
Forget about Protestants for a minute. Why do Catholics love and shill Mary so much? She gave birth to Jesus and....that's it. I'm sure she was a fine woman, but there's nowhere in the Bible where she's depicted as having a heavy hand in Jesus's ministry. Even Mary Magdalene had more of a role.

>We call her Queen of Heaven, even though it's a title linked to pagan worship in Jeremiah. No problem there!
>We throw huge festivals in her name instead of Jesus because we don't need to focus on Jesus. No problem there!
>We kneel in front of her statue and she's always the first to come to mind in regard to having our prayers reach God. No problem there!
>We go against scripture of Jesus Himself downplaying Mary's maternity status being a reason to be exalted ( John 2:3–4, John 19:26–27, Luke 11:27–28, Matthew 12:46–50) and create a bunch of titles and dogmas around her materinity role. No problem there!
>We gave her her own special prayer, even though Jesus gave one to direct it straight to the Father and He and the other apostles giving zero mention of having Mary being a point of prayer. No problem there!
>And if you DO have a problem with any of that, then I'll offer no rebuttals to any of the points raised and call you a Protestant and call it a day

So you're saying the atoms that built his body are eternal? You're saying there is an eternal human nature that was never created which he later took upon himself? Also that's just a plain logical contradiction, you cannot assign to the same subject opposing characteristics unless you separate it into parts. And anyway this whole branch of theology is extremely pagan so I am not sure why you have a problem with created gods

They're just as culpable for perpetuating the goddess status attributed to Mary, they're far from innocent. Even if the Catholic church set things up to go this way, are they really blameless if they choose not to engage critically with the text and internalize truth for themselves?

Notice how you aren't answering. That's because deep down you also know your first pope was Satan since that is explicitly what Jesus calls him in the bible. Also unlike you I will actually answer, yes! Paul also hates this hypocrite, read Galatians 2

I've never heard a Protestant be hateful about Mary. Normally they say she was a pious woman but don't like Catholics' over-veneration of her.

I find it funny that e-Catholics think the Reformers saying positive things about Mary is some kind of gotcha. Luther explicitly preached against excessive veneration of Mary or asking any saints for intercession.
>>
>>18270060
I know you're a dumb faggot who is vastly overestimating his ability in trolling people, but I'll blow out your weak shit anyway. Peter was acting in the interest and framework of a man, trying to deny Jesus's upcoming sacrifice out of his own feelings, but Jesus rebukes him in the same vein of being an adversary to God's divine plan
>“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”
As for Paul:
>Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas… all are yours.” (1 Cor 3:22)
Cephas is Peter's name. Now, run along, retard. Go try to bullshit someone else.

Satan wanted Jesus crucified. Read Luke 22:3-6

You do know that Satan is literally just "adversary" right? But in this sense it was used as an identifier of your faggot pope. Jesus was criticizing him for acting human there. Basically telling him to shut the fuck up and stop pretending

That's my point, I showed you where Paul makes it clear that he hates this guy because he's a Jew who loves the law in private

As to your question about Mary.

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.”

From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

That's a little far, but the idea that Peter conferred infallibility is hilarious as the entire text of Peter is like: Peter does/says/thinks X, X turns out to be wrong, Peter is gracious and accepts that X is wrong and repents and accepts that he is wrong all the time. The Pope is literally the opposite of this and is just blatantly wrong all the time but then asserts he can never be wrong because he inherited his position from the guy who was always wrong. It truly blows the mind.

Papal infallibility has only been ever claimed a miniscule number of times, and claimed as such by being a result of revelation.
It is not claimed constantly and in all decisions. And it has strict guidelines to be trusted and respected by the rest of the Church, including adherence to long held traditions.

Peter was wrong about many things, but he was infallibly right about Christ as the son of God and savior of the world.
>>
>>18270522
The point of Peter (a foundation of logic) is not that it can be wrong. Its that we need to have a foundation of understanding to even have a discussion of right and wrong.

Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them

If a logical framwork is seeking self indulgence, rather than the good of thr culture, then it leads to nemesis, which is decay and entropy of an egregore.

A house divided will not stand.

Peter can only philo, and not agape, and so, he must love his neighbor as himself. This is the same command as loving your God with all your heart and soul and mind and body.

The entire argument for Roman Catholicism is that: while they lost the religious debate in Europe and had to rely on military force to maintain their control of southern Europe; the RCC has done an amazing job at being popular in Latin America and the Philippines and by having 90% of its members being cultural members has a massively inflated head count. That's why when they count Christians by Sunday attendance the RCC is actually not a particularly large denomination. Having 100 Mexicans who go to Church exclusively for Baptisms isn't better than even 2 Africans who go 52 times a year.

It literally isn't. About one-half of the young generations are atheists, a larger percentage than ever before.

Theism in general is declining.

This is straight up false.

As long as you conflate atheism with irreligiosity, and theism with religiosity, you're completely lost. Read the fine print.

Atheism i.e. "disbelief in god" is one-half of the young generation.
Theism also isn't christianity. Muslims are theists and are not christians.
>>18270738
We already replaced it with Naturalism, which is true, not christian, and has completely destroyed theism in general. This is not "pure entropy" nor is it "christianity with another name", you're just retarded.
Naturalism has produced more results than christianity in 200 years vs christianities 2000. This is the opposite of "entropy", dumbass.

The claim that naturalism has "completely destroyed theism" or replaced Christianity as the dominant worldview is not supported by evidence.

Globally, as of recent data (Pew Research Center estimates for 2020, with trends holding into 2025):
Christians: ~2.3–2.6 billion (around 29–32% of world population)
Muslims: ~2 billion (25–26%)
Hindus: ~1.2 billion (15%)
Religiously unaffiliated: ~1.9 billion (24%, including atheists, agnostics, and "nothing in particular")
Theism (belief in God/gods) remains the majority position worldwide

On scientific achievements: Modern empirical science emerged in a Christian cultural context (medieval to early modern Europe), with pioneers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Boyle, and Pascal explicitly motivated by theistic beliefs—e.g., the universe is orderly because created by a rational God, making it intelligible to human reason

Naturalism explains a lot empirically; theism addresses "why" questions many find compelling

You still need motivation to actualize. Naturalism is just the "how to do", but bot the why to do that actually motivates life.

You are essentially telling people to worship their tools. Naturalism is an idol. I choose to use it when it serves a purpose. But I dont worship my tools.

Half of those Christians are not actually christian. For example, the netherlands (if I recall, it could be some other european state) counts people as being christian if they're baptised in the church as babies, but the people don't actually believe in the religion. This is true for most white people in general.
And 'religiously unaffiliated" is the only one of those thats growing as a percentage of the overall global population.
>On scientific achievements: Modern empirical science emerged in a Christian cultural context
It specifically rose by people rejecting christianity and the bible and attempting to explain the world empirically.
>with pioneers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Boyle, and Pascal explicitly motivated by theistic beliefs—e.g., the universe is orderly because created by a rational God, making it intelligible to human reason
Literally false, this is a christian apologist lie. The motivation was specifically during the enlightenment and marked by a rejection of christianity.
>Naturalism explains a lot empirically; theism addresses "why" questions many find compelling
Wrong, theism does not explain "why", naturalism does that as well.
>You still need motivation to actualize. Naturalism is just the "how to do", but bot the why to do that actually motivates life.
This is also wrong. Naturalism explains the how and the why things are.
>You are essentially telling people to worship their tools. Naturalism is an idol. I choose to use it when it serves a purpose. But I dont worship my tools.
Naturalism is an ontology, not a tool. Monistic naturalism is literally the only metaphysically coherent position.

Christianity is false and dying. This is a good thing, as lies deserve to die.

Protestants tend to think so. 72% of Protestants affirm a Nestorian or Arian heresy.

It's amusing that papists think they have any standing to declare what is or isn't heresy when a large chunk of their doctrine is counter to their own holy book.

>while they lost the religious debate in Europe
You mean Kings got pissy that they couldn't whore anymore and merchants helped them subvert the system because they'd be able to profiteer harder without the Church telling them they couldn't commit usury anymore.
Henry the 8th raped the monestaries and the masses when he legalized usury as much as he raped his wives.

I've already addressed this. At this point, you are arguing ad nauseum against a straw man. Good luck.

metaphysical naturalism (or ontological naturalism) is a distinct philosophical position with assertions. I already told you, I can choose to ignore untested assertions, and new nomenclature, and go with the more established egregore, that has been tested for thousands of years. Show me what motivates your egregore, and who is motivated by it, and what it does to its culture, and I will listen, and decide if its worthy of following.

~40–50% of scientists believe in God/higher power per Pew/AAAS data). Globally, a metophysical naturalism is a minority position, likely under 15%.

But none of this matters to my point of view. You are just ignoring what I am saying.

You're arguing this verse, because you have defined God as a "ghost".

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they ignored him. “It’s a ghost,” they laughed, and cried out in disbelief.
Jesus said, "don't worry, it is I".

>>We gave her her own special prayer, even though Jesus gave one to direct it straight to the Father and He and the other apostles giving zero mention of having Mary being a point of prayer. No problem there!

the Hail Mary is from the Gospel of Luke.

Luke 1:28
> And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke 1:42
> And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

>40–50% of scientists believe in God/higher power per Pew/AAAS data).
This is wrong. about 73% of scientists do not believe in a personal god, with 20% being agnostic. Thus over 90% are not theists.
And you are specifically talking about christianity, which is false. Jesus did not rise from the dead.

No one is complaining about the Ave Maria or the Magnificat being used as a canticle. Issue is the Regina caeli/coeli shit.
