You explain of this Marian gospel. I could never understand why we would need Mary to be an intercessior for Jesus and how it took hold. We have the Trinity. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIIRIT. That is enough!!!WE HAVE GOD. When we the accept Him as our Savior and believe in Him, His Holy Spirit abides and directs us, not as puppets, but as we choose to let Him.

We don’t need Mary!! Again I say it:

WE HAVE GOD!!!

We appreciate her willing birth. It must have difficult being pregnant and not married. Surely it was shocking! Then needing to travel to Egypt for protection.

I believe she married Joseph and had other children, perhaps James was a “brother”.

Jesus worked in the carpentry shop. He also shepherded sheep. He spoke to the sages in the temple. Even Mary didn’t seem to understand or just spoke as a worried Mother. Mary seemed to understand more at wedding in Cana.

I respect the Pope. He seems to be fine person. He leads his church well. (Can’t say the same for all at the Vatican or too many Prostestant preachers.

Thank God for Luther and other reformers.

Of course, they all had their special twist on all of this.

God bless your ministry.

BTW: My name is JOYDAWN. That IS my name. I have NO MIDDLE name.

I am JOYDAWN SUTTER

I love my name. It has great meaning for me.

I was born at the break of day. My mother and I almost didn’t survive. When we did, it brought my father great joy, so he named me JoyDawn.

Again , I have NO middle name.

Although, he was not a “born again “ Christian then. He thanked God for our survival.

He was crazy in love with my mother.

I was called JoyDawn by my parents and my kinfolk all my life.

It was when I became a teacher that I was called Joy. At that time, it seemed rude to correct people, so I let it slide.

Also, my husband wouldn’t call me that. (He was John David. Family members called him that. He preferred to be called David or even Dave. After he died, I took back my name. Rude or otherwise, now I correct people to use my correct name.

God bless your ministry,

JOYDAWN Sutter

Thank you! I'll be publishing more articles around Marian doctrine and John's theology for the next few weeks. Sorry for the confusion on your name––the way you spell it with two capitals J and D made me think it was two different names or a nickname. Thank you for clarifying.
