I don’t have to defend anything; someday you’ll explain to God how you regarded the mother of Jesus. Good luck (sincerely)...
I don't bow down to idols of her or rely upon her for salvation as does the catholic.
Indeed you have to explain to God how you and or your church blatantly thought of a mortal far "above that which is written," contrary to the Scriptural admonition. (1Co. 4:6)
Which includes, officially or with implicit sanction, such ascriptions of glory, attributes and privileges that are given (by believers) to no created beings in Scripture, such as Mary being,
• an almost almighty demigoddess to whom "Jesus owes His Precious Blood" to,
• whose [Mary] merits we are saved by,
• who "had to suffer, as He did, all the consequences of sin,"
• and was bodily assumed into Heaven, which is a fact (unsubstantiated in Scripture or even early Tradition) because the Roman church says it is, and "was elevated to a certain affinity with the Heavenly Father,"
• and whose power now "is all but unlimited,"
• for indeed she "seems to have the same power as God,"
• "surpassing in power all the angels and saints in Heaven,"
• so that "the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse."
• and that “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus,"
• for indeed saints have "but one advocate," and that is Mary, who "alone art truly loving and solicitous for our salvation,"
• Moreover, "there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose,"
• and who has "authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven,"
• including "assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels,"
• whom the good angels "unceasingly call out to," greeting her "countless times each day with 'Hail, Mary,' while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests,"
• and who (obviously) cannot "be honored to excess,"
• and who is (obviously) the glory of Catholic people, whose "honor and dignity surpass the whole of creation." Sources and more.
And how has ealgeone treated Mary that he would have to account for it?
And where in Scripture are we required to answer for our view of Mary?
(That Rome has created.)
