[You write: I never brought up the issue of the Lord correcting anyone. You said (with emphasis added, of course) in post 921]

But even in that passage, the Lord corrects the woman (the only time the Lord corrects any woman in the Gospels) and states that blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it (Lk.11:28). Then you said (I cehcked it was you or someone using your 'handle') in the post to which this is a reply: I never brought up the issue of the Lord correcting anyone.

You really do have a problem with reading don't you!.

Note the words, I never brought up the issue of the woman being corrected, I didn't say that I didn't mention it.

But that wasn't the issue, the issue was that the Lord pointed to His words.

So, you were making an issue out of something that I wasn't making an issue of.

You conjectured that I was putting up a straw man when I denied that we claim that Mary is the firstborn of Creation. You said then I do not know what Protestant made such a claim, but it sounds like you are putting up a straw man argument. So I showed you where it had been alleged by a Protestant that we make that claim.

And once again, when one actually reads what was said, it is clear that Mary being the first born was not the point that Silverlings was making.

Silverlings was dealing with Christ as intercessor, and that the Roman Catholics have replaced him with Mary as such and thereby replacing Him in effect as 'the firstborn of creation'.

The emphasis was on the role of Christ as intercession as could be clearly seen by the context of the sentence.

That's enough. I have nothing further to say to you. Have a blessed evening, but please excuse me from any further discussion.

Well, it will give you time to read some Aquinas and find out how the male transmits the sin nature.

That may even help your reading comphrension ability as well.
