By Apostle Alex Adusei Agyemang Ephesians 4:13KJV Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Paul said, “For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church……….1 Corinthians 4:17NKJV” He taught the same message and doctrine in every church, this is because truth is one and not many. The Holy Spirit through Paul reveals His mind concerning the Church, that there is one faith, one truth and one knowledge and He wants all Christians to come to that. “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:” Why then are there contrasting teachings in different denominations of the Church? This has been due to the deception of men, ignorance and the workings of satan but God wants all His Children to come to truth. “that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting…….Ephesians 4:14KJV” There are denominations that pray through the virgin Mary, referring to her as the queen of heaven, other denominations don’t agree to this. Both groups can’t be right. Only one is right because the truth is one not many. The faith like Paul said is one not many . In truth and in all respect, it is wrong to pray through Mary or refer to her as the queen of heaven. This is no knew thing and was also a kind of worship in the old testament. This is actually paganism finding itself in the church. This is not to knock any church but to utter the truth, to speak God’s mind. The Jews brought paganism into their religion and worshipped the queen of the heaven and God was very angry with them. “But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw no trouble…….Jeremiah 44:17KJV” You have to be careful, satan can hide behind names. Mary was a wonderful woman, a pure virgin but not a queen of heaven. She herself said that she needed salvation like any other person. “And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior…..Luke 1:46-47KJV” Mary called God her savior. You don’t call God your savior if you didn’t need salvation. It is wrong to worship and pray to Mary. This is not to knock any catholic but to speak the truth. The problem is not only with catholics but other denominations as well. It’s important we verify what we believe from the Word of God. It is the responsibility of you, the Christian to verify the truth. Jesus told the sadduces, “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God……….Matthew 22:29KJV” Truth is the Scripture, the word of God and not what is necessary preached at the pulpit. Go for truth, go for the Word not opinions of men. God bless you!
