Then you are denying the common usage of the word.

The Holy Spirit inspired the use of the word *only* for God’s ONLY begotten Son.

He didn’t use it for Mary, as in her ONLY begotten son.

This is where Catholicism goes off the rails with Scripture. Instead of just reading it and taking the passage at face value, they *interpret* it to make it mean something it does not say.

Scripture should determine doctrine, not doctrine determining how to interpret Scripture to make it support the afore decided doctrine.

What is at question is not the common usage but the biblical usage, and with this I stand by my statement.

Scripture should determine doctrine, not doctrine determining how to interpret Scripture to make it support the afore decided doctrine.

Which is why sola fide fails, it is contrary to Scripture.

Keep this up and 'Mary' herself will appear to you and chastise you for NOT praying the Rosary!!
