Why Did God Need To Do This?

I’ve always wondered why the Catholic Church has determined Mary’s position/status, the mother of Jesus? Was Mary a perpetual virgin? Was Mary sinless? Was Jesus her only child? What happened to Joseph, Jesus’ assigned father (the man who raised Him)? As I read about Moses death, I find God buried his body. No one knew of his burial spot. Why did God need to do this? Well, it was probably due to man’s natural tendency to memorialize people. Just as the Israelites made the golden calf to worship in Moses’ absence on the mountain, they probably would’ve enshrined Moses and made him into something that would eventually be worshipped. God tells us that we are to not make graven images of anything, including Images of Himself. God doesn’t want us worshipping things. Especially finite things that try to represent or compete with Him. The Catholic Church has done this very thing with Mary. Does she deserve special attention? Yes. Does she deserve remembrance? Yes. Should she be held in high esteem? Yes. Should she be worshipped? No. Should she be prayed to or through? No. Why then do Catholics do this? Because they want to honor her. But they’ve committed the golden calf all over again. Believing that she remained a virgin after Jesus’ birth, doesn’t serve any purpose other than the Catholic Churches’ purpose. If you read the 4 gospels, it clearly states, “Joseph did not have sexual relations with her, until after Jesus’ birth” (Matthew 1:25). Why would God have Joseph marry a woman whom he could never have sexual relations with? That would mean he either used prostitutes, or had other wives? Certainly not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Where did Jesus’ brothers and sisters come from? The books of James and Jude in the Bible are written by Jesus’ brothers. The Catholic Church out of reverence for Mary has made her into a small god. We learn throughout the Bible that we are not to worship anyone but God. When the angel comes to John in Revelation, John bows down, and the angel tells him not to worship him, only God. The Catholic Church has done to Mary what God tells us not to do. And yet out of their tradition or pride, they keep defending it. There is no purpose to not be honest about this concept of perpetual virginity (symbolizing her as sinless). What sin would be committed if Mary didn’t remain a virgin? She’s married, right? So having other children wouldn’t be a sin, would it? It serves no purpose. It doesn’t match up with scripture. And it divides people in arguments. You can believe what you want to about Mary, but scripture has given us evidence that support Mary’s humanity, her other children, and has given us no reason to support this claim. Mary is special, but she doesn’t need to be treated like a god, that’s exactly what God prohibits.

19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they couldn’t get to Him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and Your brothers are outside, and they want to see You.”21 Jesus replied, “My mother and My brothers are all those who hear God’s word and obey it.” Luke 8:19-21

So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, just as the Lord had said. 6 The Lord buried him in a valley near Beth-peor in Moab, but to this day no one knows the exact place. Deuteronomy 34:5-6
