Hi Vic,
The web page, which is pro-Roman Catholic, which Contendah offered, tells us this:
The papal proclamation of Mary as the Spiritual Mother of Humanity according to her three-fold function as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate, will, as it were, constitute the Church's and humanity's collective "fiat" to the Mother of God; that is, a solemn, collective "consecration" of the Church and the world to Mary's Immaculate Heart.
Co-Redemptrix: Christ came to die on the cross to offer redemption to all people; Mary did nothing but provide the human womb to facilitate His birth in the same manner as His brethren (Hebrews 2:17). How does this make her a Joint Redeemer with Christ? Where does Mary fit into the salvation picture at all?
John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.' "
Notice that He did not say, "but through Mary and Me" -- only "but through Me."
Mediatrix: What does Scripture tell us about our Mediator? Where can anyone insert Mary into that picture?
1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
Hebrew 8:6, "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises."
Hebrews 9:15, "For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance."
Hebrew 12:24, "And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel."
Advocate: What does Scripture tell us about our Advocate before God?
1 John 2:1-2, "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."
Where does Mary fit into any of these pictures? Certainly not in the Bible. The only place anyone can find this kind of erroneous doctrine and teaching is in Vatican generated papers, maybe the Apocrypha, but, certainly not in the Bible.
Jesus Christ was born through the womb of woman so that He could be like His brethren in all things, including death. The womb did not become deity, nor did the swaddling cloth in which He was wrapped, nor the manger in which He lay. These are all things which were used to allow Him to be born like His brethren (Hebrews 2:17). Nothing more, nothing less.
Is Mary the Spiritual Mother of Humanity? Today, Mary's body is in a grave, while her spirit is in heaven -- just like billions of other believers. At the Rapture, she, and all other believers, i..e., all saints -- will receive our glorified, immortal bodies. That is the extent of her influence -- the same as billions of other saints in heaven today.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
