The one ones pulling a verse out of context and making a theological argument out of it is the Catholic church.
The angel simply tells Mary that she's *blessed* and suddenly she's sinless, ever virgin, assumed into heaven, made queen of heaven, yada, yada, yada......
Stuff that is found NOWHERE in Scripture and a whole church stands on falls on it's doctrine concerning Mary.
THAT'S baloney.
