***"all generations shall call me blessed." ***

YES! By all means. Blessed Mother ??? it doesn't say that.

***If the Bible is all we have (i.e. Tradition means nothing), then is it possible to place too much emphasis on a "singular past statement" , in the Gospel, no less?***

There is a pattern in the RCC of taking verses and extrapolating meaning not found in the text. Bad methodology

"full of grace" is another example of RC eisegesis.

So, you never refer to Our Lord Jesus Christ or God Our Heavenly Father by any name which doesn't appear exactly in scripture, even if scripture clearly shows it's warranted?

Meaning not found in the text according to whom? The Church Fathers,Luther, Calvin, you, or the woman preaching over at the Methodist Church?

I fear we will never agree here on earth. I will continue to pray for your conversion to the One True Faith. Peace to you, my brother in Christ.
