Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it.
You would agree Christ is God? Therefore would you not agree that any 'union' that is 'inseparable' would be = to deity?????
I rest my case.
That's wise. No need to bother continuing the futility.
I'll help you again.
Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it.
You would agree Christ is God?
Yes.
Therefore would you not agree that any 'union' that is 'inseparable' would be = to deity?????
No. As I said already, I aspire to an eventual union with God. It is my destiny, by the grace of God. Doesn't mean I am divine.
Furthemore, you seem to not read English very well.
What is "inseperable" in this sentence is Mary's "role" not her union with Christ.
Take out the propositional phrase "in the Church" and read it again.
Mary's role is inseperable from her union with Christ.
Like I said, she is nothing without Christ. Anything else you read (or mis-read) in this passage must be read in this light.
As a matter of simple grammer, the word "inseparable" refers to the word "role" NOT "union."
Perhaps you might answer some of these questions:
If the Church's teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary are wrong, then why did Reformers such as Luther, Calvin, Zwengli and Wesley not disavow them? Better yet, why did these same Reformers CONTINUE to teach them?
Does the phrase, "blessed art thou among women" leave open the possibility that ANY woman was more blessed? And if so whom?
Why is the instruction in Luke 1:48 EXCLUDED by you and others?
How does your concept of sola scriptura reconcile with 2 Peter 3:16
