“her immaculate conception, perpetual virginity, assumption into heaven, her Queenship, and her role in God’s plan of salvation as Co-redemptrix”
I appreciate these posts because I didn’t know Catholics actually believed these extreme things.
Christ, for example, is the only redeemer and the theology reflected in the author’s sentence I quoted is not Consonant with Christian Biblical theology.
It really is a Mary worship and making Jesus’s mother her a type of god herself.
The writer had better be glad Dr. Walter Martin is deceased and can’t defend himself.
I would love to see them in a one on one debate, just not anytime soon . . . .
Yes, of course this is correct.
Only God could be a redeemer.
Mary is not God, though catholics by saying she is sinless strive to make her that.
The letters to the churches in Revelation are in fact a revelation.
It looks as though all you did was scan for a sentence you could disagree with. You didn’t actually read or reflect on the ARGUMENT, did you?
And aren’t you getting a little bored with the old “Catholics make Mary into God” crapola?
If you ever studied what this Mary promises for praying the rosary with scripture, you may question your faith when this lying mary points to the sameJesus that the Protestants have their faith in..
That is, unless protestants have a different Jesus not born on December 25, killed on good Friday and raised on easter like the roman catholic Jesus..
You have to be educated in Catholicism to understand. If you choose to interpret the Bible on your own, it won’t make sense.

I was raised Roman Catholic (NY) and was taught these very same things. I thought all Catholics believed these things, too, but found out later in life that wasn’t the case. I met Catholics from Northern Illinois who thought those ideas were wacky.
God chose Mary above all women to bear His son. Our Lord hung on her every word as a child. She prepared him for his role as Saviour of the world. She acts as his messenger. We Catholics ask for her intercession. We don’t worship her. We honor her as we do our own mothers.
