She is our highest Saint and role model.

I think that's the problem.

"For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." -- Ephesians 4:12-16

"Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." -- Psalm 16:-11

"She is our highest Saint and role model."

I have been led along to believe that was you. In fact, when I was initiated as an entering apprentice knight into the first order of the Knights who say Ni!, IIRC, that was one of the affirmations. What a let down. I may as well go back to work!

1Ti 2:5 - For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,


The above is an interesting verse given Peter's: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Paul calls the resurrected Lord "man...Christ(God)."

Peter did essentially the same with the pre-resurrection Christ.

This removes Mary as mediator.

It also means that someone gave physical birth and origin to this "man."

The only problem, as I see it, Dr. E, is that your random verse generator is not working properly.
