If you read the Bible, you would know that we are to call her blessed.

--------------------------------

We are not told to call her "blessed." Mary only affirmed that all would agree with her that she was a very blest woman. But we are not instructed to call her that! I don't think that is a valid "eisogesis." : \

Wha? Huh? So you agree that we call Mary blessed, yet it is wrong to call her blessed?????? Wha? Huh? I dont get it. Or you believe Mary is blessed, but its wrong to say that she is? Or that its wrong to say it to her? Wha? This ain't a contortion act fellas.

This need's the Bill Clinton treatment: "Mah fellla Amercans. Ah (wagging finger)did nawt call that woman the Blessed mother 'blessed.' Ah onleh agreed to her self-affirmation of herself as a woman who was blessed. Thank ya vurry much."

This is the most hilarious bit of verbal contortion I've ever seen.

Tell me what the definition of 'is' is next.
