The scripture mentions human mother of Christ, and God the Father. Looks like Al’s view is pure scripture, not yours.

It is true that Mary is not the only human instrument that God chose; the entire Church is such instrument as well. Nevertheless she stands out, for obvious reasons.

Can you show me anywhere in the bible that says Jesus got his flesh only from Mary? No, of course you can't, because it isn't there. The fact remains, if his flesh was only hers, Jesus would have been female. Obviously, God created the flesh of Jesus in Mary's womb.

Nevertheless she stands out, for obvious reasons.

Agreed, and we should respect and honor her as an outstanding servant of God. In fact, I already stated that we should. What we need to be careful of, however, is elevating her above the level of a human being.
