26: Is Mary the Queen of Heaven??

In this thought-provoking episode of Naughty vs. Nice: A Christian Podcast, Todd and Laura dive deep into the fascinating and unsettling history of the "Queen of Heaven" mentioned in Jeremiah 7. Exploring the cultural and theological implications, we uncover the Babylonian origins of this figure and how it connects to ancient practices, false worship, and the spread of occult beliefs throughout history.

We also examine how these ideas have influenced modern religious traditions, including misconceptions surrounding the Virgin Mary, the Marian dogmas in Catholicism, and their theological implications. From the Tower of Babel to Babylon, from Ishtar to modern interpretations, this episode connects the dots between ancient systems of worship and their echoes today.

This episode challenges you to rethink what you know about church traditions, ancient symbolism, and how false doctrine can subtly shape modern faith. Don’t miss this deep dive into biblical history, theology, and truth!

Referenes: Jeremiah 7:18, Jeremiah 44:17-25, Nimrod and Semiramis Mythos The Origin of the idea that Nimrod married Semiramis and had the baby Tammuz comes from the book The Two Babylons written by Alexander Hislop. Critics correctly argue that there is no “primary source” for his connection of Nimrod with Ninus (and thus Semiramis and Tammuz) therefore the overarching symbolic concepts are at worst, non-existent and at best, poor scholarship. Hislop was a member of The Secret Fraternity. He was explaining their beliefs in the book and how they associate the symbols within their Babylonian religious system.
