Jesus IS Lord but I do believe that, at least until she conceived, and bore the Son of God, she was sinless. Now that flies in contradiction of the concept of original sin, which may be a catholic concept, or not. I will assume it is. There are are many things done in the name of a faith or religion that I do not support. Can darkness and light exist in the same spot? Did, in the instant of conception, God purify Mary? Well, there was a question the apostles presented to Jesus that would seem to say the speculations and insistence that ALL Catholics worship Mary, and other differences of dogma are a diversion and counterproductive to the unity of Christians. I am a practicing Catholic, but can see if the rulers of that religion make certain statements or rules I will cease being that. According to the word of God do you see any evidence that God waited for a woman worthy of carrying His Son. And was she also of the house of David? And the infant,John the Baptist,while still in Elisabeth’s womb lept in joy. I will continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. It IS hard enough to do without inter faith rivalries. May our Lord and savior Jesus Christ enlighten us all, protect and bless us in Jesus’ name

In your post, you reveal what most Christians face and which the apostle Paul articulated when he said, "We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known." - 1 Cor 13:12

In this verse, Paul tells us that in this world he doesn't see/understand perfectly; in this world he only knows part of truth & reality. He also tells us that "then" meaning when he enters eternity, he will know better, he will know perfectly, he will know fully.

We're not much different from Paul.

May the Lord, through His Holy Spirit lead and guide us into all truth.
