The kind of teaching presented recently by (ARCIC) Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission) not only misrepresents Mary, contradicts the scriptures, denies the gospel, deceives sinners and undermines the great protestant reformation, it also (and this is most important) insults the unique person and finished work of Jesus Christ. While Mary was a holy person, blessed among woman, chosen of God for a very special purpose she could never (and this is true of every other true saint) be a Saviour, redeemer or mediator between God and men.
The words of Paul 1 Timothy 2:5 are unmistakeably clear.. “There is one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus….” The ‘man Christ Jesus’ is our Saviour, High Priest, King of glory, Kinsman redeemer, Everything! As Paul puts it in Colossians 3:11 “Christ is all and in all.” –
This messages focuses on Christ Not Mary as our mediator. Four things must be considered:
1. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MEDIATOR
2. THE IDENTITY OF THE MEDIATOR
3. THE INTERVENTION OF THE MEDIATOR
4. THE IMPACT OF THE MEDIATOR |
