you quote way out of context.

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."

Yes, obviously, but He did speak of "those that are born of women" and you applied that to Mary but not Him.

No man/woman is top dog in God's Kingdom.

Was this a Protestant-style, private revelation? You attack Catholic teaching on Mary based upon the idea that there is no human "top dog" in heaven. Please cite the authority for your assertion.
