You evaded my point again. The ball's in your court, not mine. I'm not interested in bean-counting Scriptures. I'm waiting for your acknowledgement that your belief in the Trinity rests on implicit, interpreted Scriptures. That I think there are fewer such Scriptures for the Trinity than for Mary is secondary. When you acknowledge that the implications of your statement about "knowing where to look" for the Trinity in Scripture mean that Catholic veneration of Mary is just as Scriptural as our joint belief in the Trinity because both rest on interpretations of less-than-explicit Scriptures, I'll start the bean-counting game.

Nope, you're the one that said, quote, "If one lined up all the implicit, nearly-explicit passages regarding veneration of Mary on one side of sheet of paper and all the passages implying the Trinity on the other side, I do think the Mary side of the sheet would be more impressive."

Put up or shut up, and please do not ping me back to this thread unless you are prepared to put up.
