However, unlike the many for Christ, the NT nowhere interprets the claimed typologies of Mary as being just that, nor that the NT even engaged in this cultic Catholic extrapolation. Moreover, fuller examination of such attempts as making the Ark a figure of Mary show these fail as they lack critical correspondence and or have other correspondence. (As with Rev. 12).
Rather than Mary being presented as an anti-type, we have,
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27) Not Mary.
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. (Acts 18:28)
These French War of Religion themed hreads are like South bashing threads here
Both sides at times rather testy and ad hominem
Catholic chauvinism on display frequently ....it happened to me yet again two days ago here courtesy EbbTide in spite of the fact I was being approving of Catholic history against Islam etc
Usual freeper nastiness
And yes non Catholics who often seem to be ex Catholics attack Rome
I simply know any Baptists or Presbyterians or Pentecostals or methodists where I live who hate Catholics
Nor did I grow up with Catholics in my own extended family and friends who loathed my Southern Baptist denominational Faith
We do find the Mary thing and Pope tradition odd admittedly
But personally if an individual prefers Catholicism so what and same for other Christian sects
Here it’s like a war and you’re a brigadier at a minimum Daniel...
Is this a northern thing?
