Mary is human, but even a sinless human cannot atone for the sins of men; for the sacrifice of Christ to be efficacious, He had to be God as well as man.
The rest I have dealt with and repeatedly so.
“The rest I have dealt with and repeatedly so.”
Well, the repeatedly is correct, but you certainly haven’t “dealt” with it.
“Mary is human, but even a sinless human cannot atone for the sins of men; for the sacrifice of Christ to be efficacious, He had to be God as well as man.”
Christ had to atone for our sins because ONLY HE could be sinless AND human (as God the Son). Mary, by definition then, CANNOT be sinless. It took God to do it because man cannot.
So, Mary was human. And she was sinful. And not perfect. And thus, not to be worshipped. You can argue all you wish about holy tradition, but that does not make it so. Again, and again, and again I ask you:
Show me in scripture where God says Mary is sinless. Show me where, in scripture, God says we are supposed to pray to her.
Show me in scripture where GOD says these things!
