Amazing how Catholics will hair split the Greek to justify their doctrines about Mary and yet blow off the Greek when it comes to *petra* and Petros* as being of no significance.

Or ignore the Greek when conflating the use of the word *lord* (kurios) and *god* (theos) when claiming Mary is the mother of God and Elizabeth says *mother of my LORD*.

For honesty and consistency in Scripture interpretation, use one of the other, but employing both depending on which doctrine you want to support is really intellectually dishonest at the very least.

Either the Greek matters, or it does not. It’s just not honest to have it matter when it supports you and not matter when it doesn’t.

“Either the Greek matters, or it does not.”

Much like the Scriptures overall. If you discount or ignore just one thing, then you don’t have to believe any of it.
