If God had chosen to bring Christ into the world through a mule instead of a woman (Mary), would Catholics'...?

Question

Would Catholics' view of the vessel God decided to bring the Messiah into the world through, change? Would they pray to the mule and ask it to intercede on behalf of them and others?

Mary was just a vessel--not a mule, but a woman.

Answer 1

Yes, most likely. And you are correct. Mary was just the vessel. She was a sinful, imperfect woman just like everyone else and does not deserve praise. In fact, God forbids that we worship anyone other than him.



"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them..." - Exodus 20:4-5

Answer 2

there has been plenty spectlation with regard to the Immculate concept.

Answer 3

You do not seem to get what the Incarnation of God as human is all about



You also obviously know nothing about Catholic teaching. Please allow me to suggest that you get a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and read it if you want the truth about what Catholic Christianity actually teaches.



Overcome by Mariaphobia? Hagiophobia( irrational fear of members of the Mystical Body of Christ in Heaven)? Romophobia( irrational or disproportionate fear of Catholics , especially the Pope)?



Why Would you dishonour your mother in such a way with such a question that insults Jesus?



Well, Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, true God and true Man ,is your mother also-that is, if you acknowledge Jesus as your brother and saviour and if you are a member of the Spiritual family of jesus and the Body of Christ



Also, mules are usually sterile donkey -horse combos



God bless and enlighten us all

Answer 4

Mary was the vessel in which God chose to bring Christ into the world.



While I understand the point you're trying to make, your question in its essence is insulting.



Catholics aren't perfect, and neither is any other Christian denomination (and I say that, even as I belong to one... My sole allegiance is to God alone. I may belong to a specific fellowship of believers, but I am not that closed minded that I cannot appreciate the fact there are others who choose to express their worship differently)



As per the whole "worshipping Mary" thing - that's false. Catholics place large emphasis on her. They do not worship her.



The main question I have is: As Christians, are we putting forth a positive Christian witness by tearing one another down? I think not.

Answer 5

That's just not right. I'm not even Catholic, and am offended by the sarcasm protruding through this question.



I can legitimately understand someone being uncomfortable with the emphasis the Catholics place on the virgin Mother. However, as Christians - do you really feel it is constructive to be tearing down one another?



God bless those who worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth (irregardless of their label)

Answer 6

By your question it is evident you are trying to upset people of G-d. G-d is not mocked.Humans are the care takers of this Earth and have dominion over animals. Read Genesis.Catholics do not pray to Mary-they pray to G-d and give Mary respect.That is also written in the Holy Bible that she will be honored for all time.How would your Mother feel if she thought you called her a mule?

Answer 7

Yes, most likely. And you are correct. Mary was just the vessel. She was a sinful, imperfect woman just like everyone else and does not deserve praise. In fact, God forbids that we worship anyone other than him.

I 100% agree! Mary needed a savior just like the rest of us. She was not sinless and she did NOT remain a virgin. To pray to her, worship her or even make her equal with Jesus is BLASPHEMY of the highest order. There is one mediator between God and man and that is Jesus Christ. We are not to pray to saints, Mary or the pope. Mary was favored among women and blessed but where in scripture does it say she's the "mother of God" or sinless or a perpetual virgin or that she didn't need to be saved? She was a sinner like the rest of us.

Answer 8

The Messiah was brought on Earth to save mankind and change the image of Earth. Mules were the worked of the devils that they were evils.
