well we are a new creation in Christ and we’ll be birthed into the world to come with that new body. At any rate, the whole argument is over whether Mary is the Ark of the Covenant, the whole idea of which is bizarre.

With a Christ-centered Christianity, we rightly see that any typology, or symbolism used in the bible to compare the Ark of the Covenant with someone, that someone is Christ.

Catholics will say that David's words and dancing before the Ark, compares with Elizabeth's remarks and John leaping in the womb. That the Ark stayed 3 months with a priest is compared with Mary staying 3 months with Elizabeth.

With a Mary-centric religion, Mary is made the object of worship, when in reality the comparison is to the Christ child within her womb, not to her and her womb.
