But then that also means that Christ is not God...
So may I take it you are non trinitarian as well....
Now for a little enlightenment as far as venerate meaning same as worship...
Venerate: "To regard with respect, reverence, or heartfelt deference." One of the 10 Commandments is "Honor your Father and your Mother." Do you honor your father and mother? Do you respect them?
Worship: "The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or sacred object." Do you worship your parents? Certainly not, and neither do Catholics worship theirs, nor Mary.
Study a little more and lay off the Jack Chick tracts...
If you’re honest, its time for you to study more.
“Mother of God” is an ancient, 4000 year old pagan title directly referring to the “godess” Ishtar (Ashta, Ashtoreth, Semiramis) who by legend was the ‘mother’ of her deceased husband NMRD, whom she claimed was reborn in the person of her illegitimate son Tammuz.
The “Mary” that the catholic ‘church’ worships is thus that godess. The mother of Jesus Christ, like every other person born in her era, was well aware of that legend, becaust it was the essence of the idolatry of the near east. Mary would never have stood for having that title used in reference to herself.
Mary was not the mother of Christ’s God-ness, she was the mother of his human-ness; his God-ness had existed eternally, and knew no beginning, thus needed no mother.
Christians all understand this, but catholics do not. The early “reformers” were all raised in this same embrace of idolatry.
P.S. - Ishtar was also known as the “Queen of Heaven,” another pagan title that the catholics willingly apply to the Earthly mother of our savior.
