God has NO MOTHER

From the earliest days of the Church we have documents that prove that these early Christians believed, as Catholics do today, that Mary is the Mother of God.

This fundamental belief is shared by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholic belief about the effectiveness of prayers for the dead partially stem from a book of Holy Scripture that Protestants essentially ripped out of the Bible of their own volution and will - 2 Maccabees, which is in the Septuagint Bible used by Christ and his Apostles.

We know that they used the Septuagint because the New Testament has hundreds of references to the Septuagint version of the Old Testament.

Martin Luther commanded that seven books that had always been part of the Old Testament should be ripped out and discarded as Holy Scripture.

For over 1,500 years, 2 Maccabees was part of the Christian Bible, and Martin Luther himself decided to take it out of the Bible.
