I was addressing certain obvious errors that stand against God's Holy Word, the only irrefutable standard that we all have.

Except that your refutations of those so-called "obvious errors" contradict the very same "irrefutable standard" you claim to believe!

Look, if you're trying to get me to take your word over the clear teachings of Jesus Christ -- as you do when you tell me that Mary is "dead" -- I'm not going to do it.

For that matter, if you're trying to get me to take your word over 15 centuries of clear teaching throughout Christendom on the meaning and significance of the Incarnation -- as you do when you try to tell me that Mary is not the Mother of God -- I'm not going to do that, either.

What it amounts to is trying to get me to believe that you are guided by the Holy Spirit, and nobody else is. That idea may appeal to your pride, but that's not much of an attraction for me.

"What it amounts to is trying to get me to believe that you are guided by the Holy Spirit, and nobody else is."

Get rational.

Nowhere did I say anything close to that, nor have I ever challenged the sincerity, or authenticity of your personal faith. It's just this utterly evil demon of deification of Mary that I have challenged.

The only response that has been returned has been to twist my words, or twist God's word by uprooting it from it's context.

Mary was 'righteous' because her faith was imputed to her for righteousness, just like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, or any other beliver before the birth of our lord. She was not born sinless.
