You can look for another translation of the word til the cows come home but you won't find one that improves on that translation, or elevates Mary to a higher position without distorting the Greek word used for the translation...

Then go back to Genesis 3:15. The enmities put between "the woman" and Satan are THE SAME as the enmities put between Jesus Christ and Satan. Moreover, the verse clearly states that SHE shall crush the head of Satan.

So, good luck trying to explain that.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Not in the majority texts, it doesn't...Like I said, you have to pervert the Greek if you want to change the translation...
