What does "blessed art thou among women" mean? Are you saying that "among" doesn't indicate anything? Are you implying that some women were more blessed?

What about in Genesis, when emnity is placed between the devil and his seed and the woman and her Seed, can we agree that if the woman's Seed is Jesus Christ that the woman is Mary?

Carrying Jesus is nothing at all compared to being Born again.

Carrying Jesus doesn't make you a Christian. Carrying Jesus doesn't put you in the Book of Life.

Matthew 11:11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

There two levels or kinds of blessing at play. John's blessing which was a more natural one and the blessing of being Born again. The least Christian, who is Born Again, is greater than the greatest person born of a woman, which is the unborn again state.
