150 years ago the Immaculate Conception dogma was officially included in Roman Catholic doctrine, and the 150th anniversary was marked on December 8th 2004 by great fanfare at Lourdes, Vatican City, and throughout the Catholic ‘church’.
Roman Catholics claim Mary was conceived and born free of all sin and full of grace.
This outrageous blasphemy has deceived billions of dear Catholics, ensnaring them in the occult, and keeping them from the only Saviour: The LORD Jesus Christ.
What is The Immaculate Conception?
Mention ‘Immaculate Conception’ and most people assume it applies to the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. That He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, sinless, perfect and divine.
In fact, the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception relates not to Christ, but to Mary’s conception and birth.
Papists blasphemously claim that she was conceived, and born, free of all sin, and full of grace. A description that can only be applied to one person born on Earth: Almighty God in the Flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ.

They Can’t Be Serious?
They are serious, seriously wrong, here it is… Official Catholic doctrine declares,
Through the centuries the [Catholic] Church has become ever more aware that Mary, ‘full of grace’ through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854:
The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin. Catechism of the Catholic Church, Liguori Publications, 1994, No. 491
…By the grace of God Mary remained free of every personal sin her whole life long. Catechism, No. 493
Such demonic teaching churns the stomachs of real Christians, but the Catholic Catechism gets even worse, brace yourself…
From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. ‘Full of grace’, Mary is ‘the most excellent fruit of redemption’ (SC 103): from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life. Catechism, No. 508
Where Does This Dogma Come From?
This wicked teaching comes straight from the heart of Satan.
It flatly contradicts the word of God, and Catholic theologians freely admit the dogma has no Scriptural basis.
The founding fathers of the Catholic cult knew Mary was not sinless.
So how did Satan persuade Catholics to swallow the lie?

Satan’s Queen of Heaven
Since The Fall he’d seduced sinners into worshipping demons masquerading as The Queen of Heaven in various forms.
The Babylonians called her Semiramis, Greeks and Romans were bewitched by equivalents called Aphrodite, Venus, and others.
We read about the Ephesian’s idolatry of Artemis (or Diana), in the book of Acts.
Over in China they had a version called Guan Yin, worshipped as the ‘Goddess of Mercy’ and ‘Queen of Heaven’.
All bowed down to stone idols, lured into the occult by demon spirits, and away from the Living God.
Even the Jews fell into this idolatry.
Read the prophets lambasting them for making cake, incense, and drink offerings to the ‘Queen of Heaven’ in Jeremiah Chapters 7 and 44 for example.
Catholics Crown Mary Queen of Heaven
So when the Catholic cult began to form centuries later, it was an easy thing for the Queen of Heaven cult to fashion Mary into this role. Elevating her gradually from a fallen human, like all of us, into a divine being, and now co-redeemer with Christ.
Devotees of Mary have a demonic inclination to pronounce her sinless, so that she could become part of the Godhead. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary. ‘Mother of God’.
Seventh century Middle-Eastern Catholics held feasts in early December in honour of Mary’s conception, yet even they did not proclaim her sinless.
Gradually, Satan worked his mischief, elevating Mary, and corrupting the meaning of God’s word.
In the Fifteenth century Pope Sixtus IV decreed that all Catholics must observe the Feast. ‘Heretics’ who objected to the exaltation of Mary were excommunicated.
Pope Alexander VII took it a stage further in 1661 by declaring that, “The immunity of Mary from original sin in the first moment of the creation of her soul, and its infusion into the body, was the object of the feast.”
Finally Pope Pius IX promulgated the dogma, with great pageantry amidst cardinals and bishops on 8 December 1854.
Satan had succeeded in making the lie become a doctrinal ‘fact’ on a par with God’s word, for Catholics.
Who said, ‘I am the Immaculate Conception’?
Four years later, Satan arranged for a little French girl to wander into a cave at Lourdes where she met a demon.
The Vatican version claims on March 25, 1858, that Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, and announced, “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
The Pope took this as confirmation of the dogma he’d proclaimed earlier.
You will be hearing of more “apparitions of Mary and Fatima” in the days before Christ returns.
All are demonic, Satan’s occult work, and nothing to do with God.
Immaculate Deception
The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is false from start to finish.
To embrace it is to blaspheme Christ, to partake in idolatry, and the worship of demons.
What is wrong with the doctrine?
‘Hail Mary Full of Grace’
The prayer most often uttered by Catholics is pure blasphemy. It is based upon the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Mary was not full of grace: that description belongs to God alone: The Lord Jesus Christ. Holy Bible, Jn. 1:14 KJV;
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Instead of coming to fallen man in wrath and divine Judgment, God came in Christ, full of grace and truth. He came in love, to redeem us from the decay of sin, full of mercy and grace.
He alone is the Saviour from sin and the coming wrath of God. Those who reject the Son will be condemned to Hell when He returns to Judge mankind.
Nobody else in Scripture is described as ‘full of grace’, certainly not Mary. Though Papists assert that the term ‘full of grace’ is used by the Angel Gabriel visiting Mary in Luke 1:28 KJV;
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Meaning Mary was the recipient of God’s favour, not full of grace herself.
Even the Catholic New American Bible translates the Greek as,
And coming to her, he said, Hail, favoured one! The Lord is with you.
It is Catholic theologians who twist the expression ‘favoured one’ perverting the Scripture to rob Christ of His uniqueness, and exalt Mary in their dogmas.
The Pope and That Woman
Pope Pius IX pulled the wool over his flock’s eyes by crudely bending the wonderful prophetic scripture in Gen. 3:15. For details see: Who was the woman in Genesis 3:15?
Worshipping Mary is Occult Idolatry
You will find Mary is worshipped as the ‘Queen of Heaven’ in Catholic churches throughout the world.
Madonna idols and shrines vary in form, blending readily with pagan occult practices and demon worship.
Devout Roman Catholics serving their idols in the Philippines, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Africa, perform many demonic practices of pagan worship.
Lutheran and Anglican churches in Europe and Africa frequently have shrines to the ‘Queen of Heaven’, which the gullible are encouraged to bow down to.
The Reformers would be appalled to see the inroads made by Satan’s Ecumenical Movement into what were once Protestant fellowships.
Who is The All Holy One?
Official Catholic doctrine describes Mary as ‘the All Holy One’ making her equal with Almighty God.
By asking Mary to pray for us, we acknowledge ourselves to be poor sinners and we address ourselves to the ‘Mother of Mercy,’ the All Holy One. Catechism, No. 2677
The word of God attributes the title Holy One to Almighty God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is Almighty God in the Flesh. Is. 43:3, Ac. 3:14, Rev. 15:4 KJV;
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy
Nowhere in Scripture is Mary described as the Holy One.
To describe Mary this way is clear blasphemy against God.
Mary was a fallen sinner, born with the sinful nature she inherited from Adam and Eve, like all of us.
She needed to be born again, saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mary would be appalled to see herself described as the ‘All Holy One’.
Her own lips proclaimed she was in need of salvation, Lk. 1:46-7 KJV;
My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Mary sang that she needed God to save her.
God’s word is clear that all mankind (including Mary) are unholy, sinful, and separated from Him. Ro. 3:9-11 KJV;
for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
That is why The Holy One came down from Heaven, lived as a man, yet never sinned once. (Ro. 3:9-10, 2. Co. 5:21, Heb. 4:15, 1 Pe. 2:22, 1 Jn. 3:5)
Then the sinless Son of God laid His life down to redeem all who repent and believe in Him. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. 1 Tim. 2:5-6 KJV;
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Catholics contradict God’s word by claiming that Mary played a role in her own salvation, and that of all people.
Being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race. Catechism, No. 494
Pope Breaks God’s First Commandment
Praying to Mary for help, and redemption is not only indulging in the occult, but denying Christ.
Pope John Paul II, a lifelong worshiper of Mary and Fatima idols, even went so far as to consecrate the world, and the new millennium to “Mary Most Holy”. October 8th, 2000
In doing so he again broke God’s plain Commandments, Deut. 5:7-10 KJV;
Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
This Pope, like all popes, is not a Christian: He is an idolater worshipping a false Christ, and leads people into the occult by his example.
Summary
Mary was conceived and born in sin just like all descendants of Adam and Eve.
She inherited their sinful nature, and was a sinner until she was born again by faith in the resurrected Christ.
The dogma of the Immaculate Conception is a satanic lie designed to seduce people into idolatry and the occult.
It is blasphemous in that it elevates Mary to divinity, attempting to rob Almighty God and Jesus Christ of their glory and honour. Catholics, by endorsing this sinful doctrine bring God’s Judgment upon themselves and their families.
The Solution
If you call yourself a Roman Catholic, know that you are making a terrible mistake resulting in your eternal damnation.
Catholicism has nothing to do with God; it is a satanic counterfeit of Christianity, which keeps people from the genuine Christ and Only Saviour.
Do not trust the words of the best of men in regard to the salvation of your soul. Put your whole trust in the Living Word of God, The LORD Jesus Christ. He alone is the Saviour: He paid the full price for your salvation once and for all. Jesus said, Jn. 14:6 KJV;
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Peter under the anointing of the Holy Spirit said of Christ, Ac. 4:12 KJV;
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
You cannot come to God through Mary: Her name is useless to save. You cannot earn your way to Heaven by sacraments, penance, works, good deeds, or repetitive prayers.
Jesus said, Jn. 6:29,40,47 KJV;
This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent… And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day… Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Come out of Catholicism, come out of religion, and come into Christ.
You can do that right where you sit if you are prepared to repent and believe on Christ.
Are you ready and willing to repent and believe in the LORD Jesus Christ?
Update: Jan 06
The new pope grants ‘indulgences’ to Catholics who deny Christ by publicly bowing down to idols of Mary.
Update: May 05
Anglicans Join in the Blasphemy: Archbishop Peter Carnley, chairman of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, declared in Seattle that Anglicans and Roman Catholics are near agreement on their teachings about Mary. Carnley said that Catholic beliefs about Mary, ‘are compatible with Anglican traditions’.
Anglicans have been back in bed with the Great Harlot for centuries, so it comes as no surprise to hear the Archbishop working to wipe out the rule of biblical authority by stating the accusations that Scripture rejects Catholic dogma regarding Mary, ‘will disappear’.
