What I don't understand about this whole Mary thing is this:
How many generations back from Mary do we have to logically carry this whole ancestor of God thing? I mean if Christ was born of a virgin (and of course He was), and said virgin was the mother of God, and as such we should pray to her, what about the grandparents of God? Don't they deserve the same adoration that is given to Mary. After all, they are the parents of the mother of God. Shouldn't we pray to them? What about the great-grandparents of God?
It all sounds very Mormon to me.

That we don't should give you the reason it's not "very Mormon."

How many generations back from Mary do we have to logically carry this whole ancestor of God thing? Some ancient Hebrews were righteous and deserve veneration in their own right, but in relation to the Incarnation, none. Mary was the willing sacred tabernacle of God, no one else. It has nothing to do with ancestry. It has to do with the reverence of the Tabernacle of the Word and the reversal of the deception of Eve.

It all sounds very Mormon to me I was thinking more along the cult of Isis, but we can dial 1-800-Dr.Hinkley
