Scripture, please, for that heresy? The first two chapters of Luke, primarily. Read much?

I read in Luke that she called Christ her saviour (Lk.1:47)

She brought a sin offering (Lk.2:24)

And that Christ rebuked a woman who tried to elevate Mary and redirected the woman to the word of God (Lk.11:27-28)

And I read that Jesus was circumcised and then later baptized... THEN, he was tempted by satan. Later, Jesus calls God the Father "my God". Does this all mean that Jesus is not God?

We need to look at the context.

Regards

Luke explains that Mary gave birth to Christ and brought salvation to men.

Christ rebuked a woman who tried to elevate Mary and redirected the woman to the word of God (Lk.11:27-28)

27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
What this says is that Mary is to be venerated along with other saints not for the physical work of childbearing but for the word that she heard and the Word that she kept in her womb.
