But please don't retreat because you think this is a battle, I want us to be on the same team. Please don't feel threatened IN ANY WAY by me.

Jon.....I do not feel threatened. I am just not interested in trying to refute your interpretation of those scriptures.

Your opinion is apparently based on your own intense study of scriptures which is admirable. I am comfortable with my Faith and have no desire to enter into a dialogue over those scriptures or any others you might present.

Your original post: Excellent review. However, as a Catholic I feel the need to tell you that Mary is not viewed as 'divine'. She was chosen by God to bear his Divine Son.

Catholics believe that she was given the special gift of an 'Immaculate Conception' meaning that she was born without 'original sin' (the sin of Adam & Eve). She is fully human but born without sin like the rest of us.

The response by Jonboy that wasn't: I am comfortable in my belief that Mary is considered by Catholics to be Divine and have no desire to get into a dialogue about those traditions or any other scriptures that you might present.

I'm just sorry that some people aren't interested in honest discourse. Oh well, you started the discussion, I guess you had the right to end it also.
