My understanding (based of the definition of blasphemy) is that this was not blasphemous unless Catholics want to admit she is a goddess/deity.Oh, hooey! When you insult the Mother of God, you ARE insulting Jesus Christ. That can't be that difficult to figure out.
When you call her the Mother of God, you are making her God the Father’s equal. She is not the Mother of God. God has no Mother. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of mothers and fathers. She was merely a vassal and birth giver.
I didn’t realize the ten commandments said “do not take the Lord’s name in vain...and now Mary’s.” I would love to see you use Scripture to show how insulting Mary equated to insulting the Lord Jesus Christ, but most likely you will just counterattack rather than use a reasonable effort.
Ironically, Mary is also called the Queen of Heaven, which is also the name given Asherah (the Mother of the Gods) and Hera/Juno (the Mother of Gods).
False gods never die. They just change faces.
“Oh, hooey! When you insult the Mother of God, you ARE insulting Jesus Christ. That can’t be that difficult to figure out.”
By that definition, every time you insult a Christian, you are committing blasphemy.
Mar 3:32-35 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. (33) And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? (34) And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! (35) For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
