Did you also know the Bible talks about a Queen of Heaven in the OT?
Did you know that Roman Catholics call Mary the "Queen of Heaven"? Did you know that the Bible talks about the queen of heaven? It does. The queen of heaven is A PAGAN GODDESS, A DEVIL-- Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
I don't agree with everything on this website, but you can read more here:

I believe Mary is the mother of Jesus - and that she was a virgin when he was born.
How does this question make me a blasphemer? Mary is not God nor is she the Holy Spirit.

By the way, I did not nor would ever call the mother of Jesus a devil. She was a godly woman worthy of God's blessings.

she is NOT the queen of heaven and she is NOT my mother. the ONLY way to God is through His son; Jesus. she is a blessed woman BUT she is not a intercessor to God. none of that is biblical.

So...you think it impossible that two different cultures might use the same title for two different people? How does having the same title as a pagan goddess make Mary the same thing as the pagan goddess? The pagans called what they worshipped "gods." So does that mean the Christian God is really pagan too? Of course not. You're arguing semantics in a non-semantic discussion.

You see this is why a house divided against itself cannot stand,you cannot even agree among yourselves regarding scripture and doctrines,whereas the Caholic church has one Creed and one infallible doctrine of faith.
You people have nothing to argue with but stubborn inner pride and speculative error.
Since the Mother of Jesus was not born in the time of Jeremiah how can this passage pertain to Her? that`s ridiculous in the extreme,Mary,the new Eve has by the power of Her Son triumphed over all the pagan godesses that were prevalent in O.T times.

Mary affirms the status of women and is a beautiful symbol of our inherent, God-given dignity it must be remembered AND that it was through Mary's obedience to God and by the blood of her Son that she was redeemed.
As Eve through her disobedience, was the means through whom Adam brought sin into the world, Mary, the New Eve, through her obedience, was the means through whom salvation entered the world when she gave birth to her Son, the New Adam, our Savior.
If God would assume Elijah into Heaven, wouldn't Jesus do the same for His own mother?
Wouldn't God do the same for the New Eve, the Ark of His Covenant, His most perfect creature, the woman who not only touched God, but carried Him in her own body, nursed Him, raised Him up from childhood, prompted His first miracle at Cana, stood at the foot of the Cross, etc.?
The Catholic Church is the restoration of the Davidic Kingdom! Christ is the King, His Mother is the Queen, and we are their subjects.
And if Our Lady isn't in Heaven and crowned, how did John see her there as he wrote in the Book of Revelation?
And, please, note the use of words here: Mary was assumed into Heaven ..... she was taken up under GOD'S power; she did not ascend into Heaven under her own power as our Lord did! As always, the beauty of Mary's story is due to the grace of God!
Yes, there was a pagan Canaanite goddess referred to as "queen of heaven" -- but there is also a pagan king in Ezra 7:12 who is referred to as "king of kings," just as Our Lord is in Revelation 19:16.
Does this mean that when Protestants sing Handel's "Messiah" -- "King of Kings, Lord of Lords!" -- that they are worshipping a pagan king?
Let's hope not. Pagans call their gods "God," too; does that prevent Protestants from calling God "God"?
When Catholics sing the praises of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, they are not worshipping some pagan "queen of heaven" or worshipping her as God any more than Protestants worship a pagan king by referring to the "King of Kings." They are simply giving honor to the mother of Jesus per the Scriptural prophecy "all generations will call me blessed."
St. John saw a woman, in Heaven. This woman is the woman who gave birth to the "man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron." That child was Jesus. The woman who is the mother of Jesus is crowned -- with 12 stars, a symbol of the tribes of Israel and the 12 Apostles of Israel. The crown shows clearly that she is a Queen.
The Psalms prophecied and the Old Testament Kingdom foreshadowed the New Testament Kingdom, ruled by Christ, Son of the Living God, and earthly successor of King David by virtue of his having been born from the womb of Mary, the Gevirah. In all Kingdoms of Israel, the Queen Mother sat at the King's right hand; our Queen Mother is in Heaven now, just as St. John saw her.
Her soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46-55)!

Praise God! The word of God, states, I am the Lord thy God, ye shall not have any Gods before me, for I am a jealous God! I will be praying for my catholic brothers and sisters. Remember the only thing that matters to God, is the heart and the motivates of the heart, are they for Jesus Christ!

What is wrong with Mary being the Queen of Heaven?Surely she went through enough misery to entitle her to some sort of title?

She is the Mother Of God. I guess some people think she was just a vessel, but if that is the case why in the world would she be called "Full of Grace" by the angel. She found Favor with God. She is all blameless and all pure.

Not all Catholics call Mary "Queen of Heaven". Those people are the overzealous ones.
When I went to church we called Mary "Mother of God."

If you are truly interested in understanding Mary- here is a WEALTH of scripture relating to her.
SInce you brought Hebrew Scripture into it, I am certain you will be willing to accept Hebrew Scripture that SUPPORTS the place of Mary.
