If Jesus is to honor his Mother for all time then what status does Mary have as an intercessor with Jesus ?

Answer 1

None.

Answer 2

All those who comment that Mary has no importance are missing a central reality. She was Christ's mother. The love that must exist between Mary and her son is beyond imagining. She bore him in her womb, gave birth to him, fed him, taught him all the things a little boy learns from his mother, accompanied him throughout his life, and finally stood at the foot of the cross and watched him die. There is no human closer to Jesus than his own mother. To fail to understand this is to fail to understand the nature of Christ's humanity. He was the Son of both God and Mary, and he loves his mother with an eternal love. Pax et caritas.

Answer 3

Many have answered this question well. Mary was blessed among women for being chosen by God to give birth to His son. However, Mary does not have any more authority as an intercessor than any other believer. Furthermore, we are not to pray to others, but only to God. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with going to fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and asking for them to pray with or for us, for wherever two are gathered in God's name, He is there. However, that doesn't extend to those who are already present with the Lord in heaven. In Rev 5:8, the rising of the incense represents the prayers of all God's children rising up to Him. These are not presented to Him as through the intercession of those believers already in heaven. If you read the verses following, the song they sing is about redemption. Christ Jesus is the only intercessor between God and man. Through Him we have direct, instant communication with our Lord.

Tebone0 -- Jesus' first miracle had nothing to do with providing wine for a wedding party. This first miracle was illustrative of our own nature before Christ's redemptive work in us. Mary approached her son with the expectation that He will provide wine for the guests in a human way. He responds to her worldly request by speaking in spiritual terms, reminding her that He had entered into the purpose for His mission on earth, which she misunderstands. Mary still is not recognizing Christ as the Son of God, but as her earthly son.
Now consider this: the jars used were for ritual cleansing, so they would be dirty and filthy from all the guests using them to clean themselves. The water in them would likewise be dirty and filthy. Jesus orders the servants to fill the jars to the brim, then draw the water out and bring it to the master of the feast, who tasted wine. Not only was the water turned into wine, but the best wine he had yet tasted, such that he believed the bridegroom had held out the best for last. This is not about Christ creating wine for a bunch of partying drunks. Christ is illustrating how we are dirty and filthy, filled to the brim with sin, yet when we repent and put our faith in Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are transformed and made new, like the new wine. Now the wine wasn't just ordinary wine, but far better than any wine the master had yet tasted. Everything that had come before could not compare to this new wine. When we come to Christ, He is far more satisfying than anything the world has to offer: in fact, we can find purpose and satisfaction only in Him. This miracle shows us our spiritual condition, our need for Christ, and His purpose on earth to be our Redeemer.

Answer 4

The command to honor one's father and mother comes after the command to place no other gods before the Creator. By making Mary an object of faith, and of prayer to Heaven, they are in essence attributing Deity to her, as in no place anywhere in Scripture is praying to anyone but God in Heaven sanctioned.

(Psa 62:5-6) "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. {6} He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved."

Moreover, as only Jesus "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin", we have no need for a motherly intercessor, and the Holy Spirit tells us to come to Christ, "that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4:14-16).

Answer 5

She has no status at all. The lord will not hear any prayer which is offered in a name other than th name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Faithful Intercessor
Luke 1 (English-RSV)
39
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
40
and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.
41
And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42
and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43
And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44
For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
45
And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."
46
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
47
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48
for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;
49
for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50
And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.
51
He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,
52
he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;
53
he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.
54
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
55
as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever."
56
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.
Mary's full belief of the angels words and selfless charity lead to make the arduous journey across the hills of Palestine to help her aged and pregnant cousin Elizabeth.
Note that the Holy Spirit,speaking through Elizabeth, proclaims Mary blessed (v. 42). Mary prophesies that all generations will indeed call her blessed since God has done great things for her (v. 48): she humbly acknowledges the truth of the appellation ``blessed'' and that God is the source of her gifts.

John 2 (English-RSV)
1
On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2
Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.
3
When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
4
And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
5
His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6
Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7
Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.
8
He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast." So they took it.
9
When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
10
and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
11
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
This passage illustrates our Lady's powerful intercession with her son: at her word he performs a miracle when his ``hour had not yet come.'' Notice that the miracle fulfilled no more dire a need than saving a young couple from embarrassment on their wedding day. As a mother, Mary is attentive to these small details of our lives, and asks Jesus to help us.

Answer 7

Jesus doesn't do that anyway. Jesus is God.

Mary is not the "Mother of God" She was the birth mother of Jesus' humanity. Jesus, who is God, is eternal. Mary is created.

Mary was a sinner that needed to be saved by Jesus. Mary has no role in anyone's salvation. And Mary is no longer a virgin. She had relations with Joseph and had many children with him after the miracle virgin birth of Jesus.

Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1).

Bible teachers that said the Vatican and the catholic cult are an antichrist: John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards

Answer 8

Mary is a dead woman. She has no power, authority, or status. Neither could she ever be an intercessor with Jesus. Jesus himself said that we are not to worship him, which means that those who worship Jesus are in error. Although Jesus is our savior, we are only to worship God.

Answer 9

According to the Bible, Jesus didn't honor her very much. It was the Catholic Church that raised Mary to goddess status as Queen of Heaven.

Alfonsus de Liguori (1696-1787) was a principal proponent of the Marianist Movement, which glorifies Mary. He wrote a book entitled The Glories of Mary which is famous, influential and widely read. In this book, de Liguori says that Mary was given rulership over one half of the kingdom of God; Mary rules over the kingdom of mercy and Jesus rules over the kingdom of justice. De Liguori said that people should pray to Mary as a mediator and look to her as an object of trust for answered prayer. The book even says that there is no salvation outside of Mary. Some people suggest that these views are extreme and not representative of Catholic Church teaching. However, instead of silencing de Liguori as a heretic, the Catholic Church canonized him as a saint and declared him to be a “doctor of the Church” (a person whose teachings carry weight and authority). Furthermore, his book is openly and officially promoted by the Catholic Church, and his teachings have influenced popes.

Answer 10

No where does it say Jesus is to honor Mary for all time. Nor does she have any role as an intercessor.

Answer 11

We can know that just be reading what happened at the wedding feast in Cana. Except now she can deal will all the requests of everyone on earth that asks her to intercede. Who can refuse his mother anything?
