Luke 1, 41-42:
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Read your Bible. The Holy Ghost through Elisabeth declares Mary to be blessed. I wish you would stop trying to use Luke 11 to claim that Mary wasn't blessed, when Luke 1 clearly says she was.

I never said Mary wasn't blessed. But it wasn't because she carried our Lord Jesus. It was because of her obedience to God just like all who are obedient to God.

In Judges 5:24 the inspired prophet and judge Deborah calls Jael, who drove the nail into the head of Sisera, as "blessed ABOVE women". That sounds even more exalted than "blessed AMONG" women. Should we worship Jael as a queen of heaven also?
