Where in the Bible does it say that anyone should venerate “Our Lady” in order to respect her son

It says so exactly in Luke 1 (Mary says “all generations will call her blessed” and in Luke 11:27-28 where Jesus tells the woman in the crowd that his mother, being the one who more than anyone else, hears the word of God and keeps it, should be honored as a way of honoring him.

Somehow I have a feeling that you will say, “but that’s a wrong interpretation of those passages.

Yep. You have a different interpretation. Fancy that. We disagree on interpretation of what the Bible says.

Like I wrote earlier, disputes over interpretation of the Bible . . . .

So from this:

"From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name"

You believe the Bible calls for worship (veneration) of Mary?

Have you ever done a word study on Mary - including Jesus' instruction on her heavenly position or offspring after having Jesus?

Then His Mother and His brothers came to Him but were unable to join Him because of the crowd. He was told, “Your Mother and Your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you.” He said to them in reply, “My Mother and My brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”

While He was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”

LOL. How do you get that out of this?:

Luk 11:27-28 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. (28) But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Yea, RATHER, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it.

“Like I wrote earlier, disputes over interpretation of the Bible . . . .”


Instead of finding interpretations, you should have just read it plainly.
