Perfect. That's just the kind of thing I was posting about. I never said anything about elevating Mary ABOVE or even to the same level as, Christ. What nonsense!
What nonsense, indeed.
. . . except . . . for
an abundance of rabid clique folks hereon and many such many of us Prottys have met in our daily lives.
Perhaps you are blind to it but post 182 elevates Mary by placing her as the head of the Head of the Body of Christ.
It is concealed by replacing the word “head” with the word “mother”. The word “mother” is a title that denotes authority. God Himself takes the title of Father. It grants Mary authority she doesn’t have in Scripture. In Scripture she has no authority at all.
Humans that in their hearts do not love God and have turned away from His Son, have created an idol for themselves that they prefer instead. A woman. They much prefer to pray to and worship and love this woman idol than God.
