Mary is the Mother of Jesus Christ. The Bible gives her the Title of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. That Title is sufficient.

So, your contention is that, "all generations shall call me blessed" (Luke 1:48) IS NOT in the Bible? Or do you know that it is there and steadfastly disobey it? As far as I know, that phrase (possibly "modernized" but still containing the word "blessed") appears in EVERY Protestant translation. So, why the uneasiness about following the dictates of scripture?

If anybody ever lights a match on this thread all these straw men will turn into a blazing inferno.

I didn't see anyone insisting that I was a heretic because I didn't call her blessed. But if it helps, then she is Blessed. That is not a title, BTW, but simply a statement of fact. Show me anywhere in scripture where she was called "The Mother of God". Show me where I must use that "Title" or be considered a heretic.

She is the Mother of Jesus. That is a unique title. Her calling was indeed unique, but she was a human being just like the rest of us. A mere mortal.

Other people are called Blessed. That is not a unique title.
