Thanks Haidabo, for your question about the Queen of Heaven.
We read about that term in Jeremiah: "to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. "
The idea here in Jeremiah is that Israel has strayed from the Lord. In its purest sense, the queen in the Bible is the spouse of Christ. That would be the queen of heaven. However, if the ones set apart to Christ are strayed to other gods, they are no longer 'refining the grain' unto God but unto their own image. When we pray, we are not supposed to pray to each fallen person and to warped ideas about God. Rather, we are to pray to the one true God, who knows the difference between truth and idolotry.
We read about what the fallen religious system called Babylon thinks of herself: "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. "
Babylon thinks that she is the spouse of Christ (a queen), but rather than glorifying God she glorifies herself.

how disappointing
you said you
would never lie
now this again
what is scripture and what is not,
is not decided by the 'burning in your bosom'
and Jesus telling specifically the 12 ((not you)) that they didn't need men to teach them
doesn't mean your opinion is gospel
- He sent those apostles to what?
to teach men.
mere men like you, who reject whom God sent.
as previously discussed,
as commanded by Christ,
you should hate yourself.
Luke 14:26
