Really? You don't believe that the being Mary bore is Eternally God (that's what "Divine Motherhood" means, BTW)? Then you reject Christianity itself.
What isn't found in the Bible is the idea that all Christian doctrine is found in the Bible.
Either salvation is ALL of God, or it is NOT.
What also isn't found in Scripture is this kind of Ockhamite "either/or" nominalism. God involves people in his plan of salvation at every stage. He's God, he's sovereign, he makes the rules, and he gets to do that.
“Really? You don’t believe that the being Mary bore is Eternally God (that’s what “Divine Motherhood” means, BTW)? Then you reject Christianity itself.”
Of course I believe it. I just don’t follow the Roman false-logic which demands that this makes her the Divine Goddess, whom is the mediatrix between man and Christ, and Christ the mediator between God and man.
“What also isn’t found in Scripture is this kind of Ockhamite “either/or” nominalism. “
There is:
Rom_11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
It stands to follow, then, that the works of Mary and the acts of idolatrous veneration of her can add nothing to the work of God. In fact, to do so is to take away from God, and setup a rival deity. For who is it that we are commanded to pray to in the scripture? To God. Who is it are we to ask for mercy? From God. What can Mary offer in “mercy” when she is a person as we are, who is not even a deity who can hear the billions of Roman prayers across the world?
