    One of the Four Marian Dogmas formulated by the Catholic Church with no basis in Scripture.

    1. Mother of God
    2. Immaculate Conception
    3. Perpetual Virginity
    4. Assumption

    The “church” as warned by both Jesus and Paul in Scripture has substituted and often placed a higher priority on the traditions of men rather than Inspired Word of God.

    Jesus states: Mark 7:8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”

    Paul writes: Colossians 2:8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

    Too much of today’s church dogma and doctrine in both the Catholic Church and its offshoots, the many Protestant denominations, are derived from the fanciful musings and propositions of the “church fathers” having no basis in Scripture.
