Mary, who hasn't been a virgin for a couple thousand years now was not the daughter of the Father...That idea is a hold over from the various Pagan religions of the Romans in that day...She was also called the Queen of Heaven...Ring a bell???
Interesting thing about the 'spouse' of the Holy Spirit...There was no wedding ceremony under the Jewish Law, nor did the marriage take place in a Catholic church performed by a cleric...Since God makes no errors, you have to conclude that Mary was not the Holy Spirit's spouse, unless, the marriage took place due to the consumation and that's not a very popular view...
I think it's safe to say that Mary was not wedded to the Holy Spirit...Interesting stuff...
If you find it difficult to wrap your mind around these mysteries, feel free to join the club. None of us will fully understand these things, because we are not God. But one thing we do know is that “the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.”
Nope, I'm not going to join the club...And since you guys don't understand it, what business do you have making the thing up???
The anti-Catholic bigot's obsession with Mary's sex life a is uniquely creepy fetish.
God makes no errors.
Iscool, on the other hand...*lolz*
Of course. But no pagan goddess or personage actually was Queen of Heaven, because they were not real. They were pagan.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, is not pagan. She is Christian...the first Christian, actually.
Her Holy Virginity is perpetual.

If Mary, of all people, has no right to be called Daughter of the Father, then we have no right to be called children of God. She is a co-heir of heaven along with us, although gloriously exalted because of her particular God created identity.

One thing that Protestantism has a great difficulty with is the concept of mystery. The spousal relationship that Mary had, and has, with the Holy Spirit is a mystical one. It's one of those things we will never fully understand.

The Holy Spirit has revealed Truth - we did not make these things up. There is no way you can convince me that you fully comprehend the Mind of God - you being as much a created being as are each of us.
[9] For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
[10] but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
[11] When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child;
when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
[12] For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall
understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
1 COR 13: 9-12 RSV
We will understand more in Heaven, but we will never fully comprehend God. If we did, then we would be His equal.
