Is Mary not the mother of Christ. Is Christ not our master? You know, maybe 18 years of Catholicism really has blinded me to the truth, but I really thought that it was common agreement that Mary is the mother of Christ. /sarcasm off

You do not need sarcasm, I agree with you that Mary is the mother of Christ and Christ is my Lord, but that does not make Mary my Lord. Where we disagree is the point of this mystical power she has come about in the Catholic Church, but none can find for her in any Protestant Churches.

We love her and respect her, but do not find anywhere in the Bible it says she has some power in heaven or that we are to pray to her or give things over to her. Sorry just do not get it.

I'm sorry, but you simply do not understand Catholicism. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MARY IS A GOD. WE DO NOT WORSHIP HER. I don't know how to make it more clear. Asking one to pray for you is not worship. Jesus did the same thing to Moses.

She was chosen. She wasn't required any mystical powers. It wouldn't fit into His overall plan if a betrothed woman or prostitute beared the Son of God. Since God chose her to be the Mother of his only begotten Son, that fully entitled Mary a rightful place in Heaven (This is an example of honoring thy Mother).
