“If Mary is human, how can she be the Queen of Heaven?”
A Protestant caller asks an honest question about one of the most misunderstood Catholic teachings. Sam Shamoun walks through the biblical case: the queen mother in the Davidic kingdom, the throne beside Solomon, believers reigning with Christ, and the crowned woman in Revelation 12.
If Jesus is the Davidic King, what does that mean for His mother? Does honoring Mary compete with honoring Jesus—or follow from understanding who Jesus is?
Watch the discussion unfold, ending with the caller’s acknowledgment: “There’s no problem. I get it now.”
📖 Key passages: 2 Chronicles 15:16; 1 Kings 2:19–24; Revelation 1:5–6; Revelation 5:8–10; Revelation 20:4–6; Revelation 12:1–5.
