Do you read Luke?
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke 1:28.
Right in the King James.
I thought you were sola scriptura? You sure don’t seem to be. Why do you have a problem saying Hail Mary when she is addressed as such?
Yes and Daniel was also told he was highly favored and loved when he was given prophetic messages concerning the end times; it doesn’t mean he was going to be co-emperor with God. Neither can you justify the creating of a whole Mary co-redeemer mythos out of what the angel said to Mary, from this scriptural context. The angel certainly didn’t bow to Mary the way Catholics do!(though given enough time, the Vatican might certainly traditionalize again and declare that 10,000 angels swirled around Mary, bowing and singing in loving adoration, perhaps Gabriel will have organized a “kickline”!)
Hail simply meant “Greetings!” in this context!
