I think we need to keep our love for Mary in proportion to the rest of God’s people.

non-sequitirs, Einstein.

Only Mary was asked for her permission to host the incarnation of God Almighty -- to donate her flesh to His Spirit.

You may continue with your "proofs" if you wish, the fact is as incontrovertable as God Himself.

And further, people who think mothers are "just like anyone else" just really don't get it. That kind of talk makes me uneasy, frankly. Your mother is not just like anyone else. Pay attention!

“non-sequitirs, Einstein.”

No sarcasm necessary, nor any name calling.

Being a mother myself I am well aware of the value of mothers.

As for proofs, Scripture forbids us to pray to the dead. I know, we are all alive in Christ. Yet Saul got in big trouble for seeking the dead Samuel, who was of course and remains alive in Christ, awaiting the resurrection.

Just like Mary.

I think we need to obey God’s laws on this and other matters. It is fine to ask others to pray for us. But it is not ok to attempt contact with the dead; it is expressly forbidden. If you do it, you should stop.

Does that mean that if she had said , "No.", there would not have been a savior?
