So, I take it, you understand that I never meant or implied that "Mother of the Word" is a literate quote from any scripture?

Now to the substance.

It is this type of "fuzzy" logic that has enabled your church to raise Mary to heights that are not appropriate

Jesus Christ is the Word. Mary is mother of Jesus Christ. Therefore Mary is mother of the Word. What is fuzzy?

[in 7300] If Mary was indeed so much more than the vessel the LORD used to be among us why is no SCRIPTURE attributed to her?

The inspired writers, as humble servants of God, carried out the task of writing the Scripture. Mary, likewise, as a humble servant of God carried out the task of mothering Jesus Christ. Now, which do you think is a greater task, to geve man the Christ Himself, or give man the scripture that is about the Christ? Still in a fuzz?

No, I do believe you meant to imply it and that's why I called you on it. I am always willing to admit I'm unaware of a verse and then I will go look it up and see what the context was.

Again you cleverly imply things that just aren't true. The WORD pre-existed everything. Mary is not a coequal and did not pre-exist the WORD. By following this train of thought you are able to ascribe to MARY all kinds of special abilities that are not SCRIPTURAL.
