Again, you quote way out of context. The verse actually says "there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he."

Do you believe John the Baptist was greater than Jesus? If the verse does not diminish Jesus, why should it diminish Mary?

AGAIN, according to YOU - Jesus' OWN words are 'out of context'. It was to point out who Jesus says is the greatest, John the Baptist. I didn't dare go further because of your lack of understanding. And you proved me right with this....

Do you believe John the Baptist was greater than Jesus?

What nonsense! JESUS was NOT talking about Himself.

Mary was not included - He mentions John as the greatest and those in His Kingdom even greater. No man/woman is top dog in God's Kingdom. Keep Mary on your 'man-made co-anything' pedestal and your Pope on his 'man-made kiss the ring infallible' throne but they are NOT a part of God's Kingdom. Mary was a servant, like Moses, like Joseph, like Abraham, like Stephen, like Peter, etc., etc. - nothing more. Only in 'man's' eyes is some one greater.

Get Spirit filled. What you/your church 'thinks' doesn't cut it with the things of God.

1 Cor 2:14: "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
