When I was reading your attacks on Mary, I wanted to know where you were coming from. I thought I might post to you about the Hypostatic Union, the title Theotokos, the heresy battles of the early Church, but that would be a waste of time I see. Too bad.
Your brand of Christianity strikes me as being extremely lonely and typical of a kind of me-and-Jesus thinking that undermines Jesus' prayer that we be one as a sign to the world. And it seems to elevate the Bible to place above the Holy Spirit guiding the Church into all truth through these two millennia.
I was addressing certain obvious errors that stand against God's Holy Word, the only irrefutable standard that we all have.
Mary is the Mother of God's Holy Word. If I were you I would be more careful in speaking about Jesus' Mother. You just shouldn't dis anybody's momma, and most especially the Mother of God.
Grins.
Good night all, this old computer is too slow to load this thread often enough to do justice to all of your comments.
Please realize that I do not doubt your personal faith, nor do I necessarily ascribe to any of you as individuals the deification of Mary, but to some the shoe does indeed fit.
In Him,
E.S.
