The Queen of heaven.?

Question

Why do The Roman Catholics refer to Mary as the Queen of Heaven? After reading the Book of Jeremiah 7 vrs 18 it states that the children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes of bread for the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke me to anger. (19) But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame? (20)therefore this is what the Lord says: My anger and my wroth will be poured out on this place

It seems to me in the Old Testement the term Queen of heaven was a negative term.

Answer 1

Nowhere in the Bible does it mention about worshipping Mary. The Catholics installed this as "a mother over Jesus." If Jesus won't act for you, call on His mother.
This is called the mother child cult brought on my Nimrod's relatives. I can't find right now the Scripture but it was brought on in Nimrod.s time.

Answer 2

This follows the biblical precedent of ancient Israel, whose crown, it is held in Christianity, has passed to Jesus.

Luke 1:32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.

In the Old Testament kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the King might, like David or Solomon, have many wives. The title of Queen, therefore went not to any wife of the king, but to the mother of the king. 1 Kings 2 17-21, 1 Kings 15:13, Jeremiah 13:18. The Queen Mother was known in Hebrew as the gebirah. Since Jesus is heavenly king, of the lineage of David and Solomon, Mary becomes Queen Mother.

note it's just a name not something all catholics call her. Satan is called morning star and Jesus aswell does that make it a negative name for Jesus?

Answer 3

try catholiceducation.org, fisheaters.com and salvationhistory.com

on the catholiceducation site go to the apologetics section and look through the various articles,scott hahn has one about the blessed mother in the old testament,the other sites have good information aswell.

for those who are using the book of revelations in their answer i would like to point out that revelations is not to be read in the light of end times,it is a symbolic book,the book does not support any rapture theories and most if not all the events recorded happened in 70a.d with the destruction of the temple. revelations was not the last book to be written but is added as the last,notably the leader of the reformation luther wanted the book of revelations to be deleted from the bible,he wanted to get rid of hebrews adn he edited the book of romans and shortened other books.

Answer 4

The Queen of Heaven (and Earth) is the unique call of Inanna, the Sumerian Goddess of Fertility. i might say that it is the only goddess to deserve that call because of fact she replaced into in fact the pinnacle of the pantheon, opposite to the extra Semitic pantheons. Ashtoreth replaced into the Phenician counterpart of the Babylonian Ishtar, and hence, comes from the Semitic kind of Inanna. All Semitic fertility gods/goddesses have been lots extra martial and conflict-like than Inanna. Many, quite pre-classic, like Isis, have been stated as Queen of Heaven. Mary is the latest kind of a greco-roman mom goddess (because of fact of this she has a newborn in her arms in specific circumstances), yet bears no courting to pre-classic fertility goddesses. Being a virgin, Mary basically represents component of an early youthful fertility goddess. Mary could be stated as Queen of Heaven, yet she is placed in a fractured and strongly patriarchal monotheist mythology that has no genuine place for her. EDIT: Thumbs down all you decide on adult adult males. that doesn't make any of it much less actual. Why might somebody call Mary Queen of Heaven? this is in simple terms absurd isn't it? Is she mated with God? Does she rule something? Does she have any capacity? if so, the place is all that stated interior the Bible? because of fact of this she has no place in Christianism. Mary is in simple terms being worshipped because of fact of her affinity with older greco-roman and pagan goddesses. Many neo-Pagans flow to Marian shrines alongside Christians in case you probably did not be attentive to that.

Answer 5

Mary is the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Mary is the Queen of Peace. Mary is the Queen of heaven and earth. She is also the Queen of the angels. The angels obey her. This is why she is the queen of heaven. She was preserved from sin. She is the immaculate one. As mother of God, she can ask her Son anything. Jesus or God will obey His mother to please her as in the wedding at Cana. So she is queen of heaven. She is very powerful. They say just the name of Mary is so powerful against the devils. They will fly away even if we just mention her name. She is the mediatrix of all graces. All good things come to us because of the intercession of Mary. Without Mary, the Savior might not have been born. Her Fiat made salvation possible. This is why she is our queen, our hope and cause of our joy.

Answer 6

Good question and good interpretation of the scriptures.

The book of revelation also refers to this female diety as a worlwide system of worship that betrays Christ.

She is referred to as an adulterer or harlot. Any system that support contrary doctrine that supercedes Christ witness to his fathers TEN COMMANDMENTS qualifies. See Rev 17.

There are many good and faithful christians doing the best they know in the catholic faith. Until God's shows them more and they move toward acceptance of his word, I wouldn't use the scriptures to hit em over the head with.

I was as shocked as ever to find that most mainstream churches follow man's traditions instead of God's commandments.

Answer 7

Most definitely a negative term. That title belongs to Semiramus the wicked wife of Nimrod and the mother of Tammuz that after Nimrod's death began the Mother/Son cult. Nimrod's name means "Let Us Revolt." Nimrod was the great grandson of Noah who built the Tower of Babel in rebellion against God. Semiramus was said to have spawned 70 gods and goddesses such as Ishtar, Diana, Aphrodite, Venus, Ashtoreth, Astarte and these are just a few names for the women. The cakes they baked were formed into a star and your Horoscope carries her evil traditions forward.

Answer 8

In the days of Sumeria...... during era of the tower of Babel, Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis became the pagan spiritual leaders of the day. Semiramis declared herself a god, called the Queen of Heaven. Worship of her passed down through the pagan cultures including Hinduism and Budhism and so it was very easy for the Catholic church to adopt that part of paganism into the Catholic way of life, telling themselves that they were making Mary, the Queen of heaven. She is not a queen. She is just an ordinary human being who willing chose to be the vessel God would use to give birth to the Messiah, Jesus Christ our Lord. She may be in heaven, but she is not the queen of heaven. There is no such thing. The bible tells us that Jesus is the King of Kings.... his mate would be the queen, not his mother. The church will one day become the 'bride of Christ' and that could make every believer who ever lived part of being the 'queen of heaven' one day.... but that is not till we all go to be with Him for eternity.....and He rules and reigns in a new heaven and new earth... Just a possibility.... The Bible says nothing about the queen of heaven in the New Testament or for the future. So speculation does not really count. We are not to pray to the Queen of Heaven.... but the Jesus... We are not to worship anyone other that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit...Three in One. Worship of the queen of heaven is pagan worship.

Answer 9

So? When Mary kvetched at the Cana wedding, Jesus didn't sound all that happy or respectful.

Answer 10

The Queen of Heaven just goes to show that God does not, in fact, hate ****-/bisexuals.
