Bite Me! Mary my Mother protect me from the unbelievers!

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! A little touchy, are we???

Those who do not believe in your Mary as the New Eve or the Queen of Heaven are those who believe in Jesus Christ alone...Your Mary has no power over us...

It’s kind of funny I found myself in this discussion.

Way back, before I believed in Christ, I was raised Jewish. I asked the rabbi once, why do we call God “He” and not “She”? Hebrew is a gendered language and the third party pronouns are gendered, corresponding to our English He and She.

The rabbi was not Christian, but he told me something I still remember. He told me that many of God’s attributes are stated in the feminine gender in the scriptures.

Jesus, being God, doesn’t need a woman poking at Him to remember the special kind of compassion with which He was to imbue womankind! The human Adam might need that kind of help. God, the divine Adam, doesn’t.

No wonder David spoke of Jonathan’s love as “more wonderful than that of women.” No, David and Jonathan were not “gay.” This love was a special one from God, and represented the love what required both genders for God to express in humankind, the love that was later to be expressed as agape in the New Testament.
