Did you even think and try to comprehend what I wrote? Where did the idea of idolatry, anti mary, come from. That is something lurking in your mind and you better deal with it. All you do is respond with personal attacks. Did I attack you personally, the answer is NO.

Quote me your doctrine then. Show me I am wrong.

I don’t hate Mary, if your read what I wrote you would get that.

What is better: To thank Mary for God, or to thank God for Mary?

Give me an answer IF YOU CAN. I am simply informing you danger of honoring the creature instead of the Creator. Does it offend you that I call Mary a creature? Well you and I are creatures too.

Jesus corrected the Jewish tradition that Moses gave them bread in the wilderness. Why did he correct that?

“...personal attacks.”

What personal attacks?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“What is better: To thank Mary for God, or to thank God for Mary?”

Is it not possible to do both? Is it a sin to thank Mary (or Paul the apostle, for that matter) for bringing you Jesus?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Does it offend you that I call Mary a creature?”

I’ve never met another human being who was offended that I call Mary a creature. How many have you met who would be so offended? I’d love to hear the story of such occurrence, having never heard of or seen it before. (Maybe some preacher made the lies up to defend his position against the one holy Catholic apostolic Church.)

Is it wrong to honor a creature and to honor the Creator infinitely more? Or is that impossible to you?

“Jesus corrected the Jewish tradition...”

At your convenience please paste in the quote that you are seeking my answer to.

In an earlier post you said: “That is the danger of honoring the creature Mary, instead of Creator God. I thank God for Mary/s example as well has the example of others. THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD, not his creation.”

I never met a Catholic who honored Mary instead of God. Mary is a portal to Jesus. It is healthy to honor that which reminds us of Jesus, and helps us to him. She brought us Jesus, for heaven’s sake!

Here you say “Quote me your doctrine then. Show me I am wrong...”

For the Church’s doctrine, from the gospel of Luke, Chapter 1, See post 284 regarding the holy angel Gabriel/s profound declaration along with blessed Mary/s prophecy regarding herself being called blessed by all.
