Is Mary of equal status with Jesus?

No! How can Mary be of equal status with Jesus when Jesus created all things?

^“16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:¹⁷ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:16-17)

Was Mary immaculately conceived?

The Immaculate Conception is the Roman Catholic belief that Mary was protected from original sin, that Mary did not have a sin nature and was, in fact, sinless. But is the belief biblical? No!

Mary is not an exception to the Bible’s statement that “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23). Mary needed a Savior just like the rest of us (Luke 1:47). Only Jesus was the One who was without sin (1 John 3:5; 1 Peter 2:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Was Mary a perpetual virgin?

No! She had children with Joseph after the birth of Jesus.

Yes, Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. But in Matthew 13:55 it reads Jesus had brothers. In Matthew 1:25 it reads Joseph did not have union with Mary until Jesus was born.

Can Mary be our mediator?

No! The Bible is clear there is only one mediator: ““For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5)

Can Mary bring salvation?

No! The Bible reads: “​​Neither is there salvation in any other: for ​​there is none other name [Jesus] under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved​​.”​​ (Acts 4:12)

Does Mary deserve worship or veneration?

God said in His word: “I am the Lord [Yahweh]: that is my name: and ​​my glory will I not give to another​​, neither my praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:8)
