That’s what you think.
As the mother of Jesus, could she have been sin free,so pure at heart that she alone was worthy to conceive the Son of God? And having reverence for Mary does not necessarily become worship. She is revered as the Mother of Jesus. No woman had ever before, or since achieved the level of holiness to become the mother of God but that doesn’t make her a part of the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. And when Mary replied to the angel that, yes, as the Lord wished, she was His handmaid. In what way does Mary detract from her Son and Him Crucified? At what point does Mary request adoration?
Esther saved a remnant of the Jewish people, and Jews still honor her. Yet her glory does not approach the importance of being the mother of Jesus. Is it wrong to ask Mary to pray for us, to intercede to her Son for us? If I were to ask my grandparents,who are either sleeping waiting for the awakening, or in heaven, to pray for me, am I putting them in Jesus’s place? If I asked a angel to help me, to pray for me at the throne of God, am I ascribing Godly power to a being,a being that IS supernatural?
After my mother died when I was 16, I wandered and sought the spiritual level,or understanding,so I would know why my mother, a devout catholic and good person had to die a slow agonizing death. And I had many spirit filled people who tried to help, some less spititual tried to blame it on the Roman Catholic Church, the seat of the antichrist they said, the whore on seven hills etc.etc.etc. Yet even in spirit filled churches and different denominations I never found that level of faith that allows a holy man to heal. I’m sure it happens yet at God’s whim. Because no man is perfect, save one. Faith in the holy nature of Mary in that she was found worthy to be the mother of the Christ is not a apostasy. She may have been nurtured by God or his angels to resist/avoid sin. But as in that I and millions of others revere Mary as the mother of God, we do not specifically worship her as The Christ. Jesus came from her womb, and that she was found worthy by God of this work makes her one of a kind, and worthy of honor.
