Does the Bible say Mary is blessed above all women? Are you talking about Luke 1:28, 42? My Bible says "among" women.

Only reference I can find to "blessed above women" is Jael, who killed Sisera after tricking him into her tent.

I THINK most students of the languages involved would say that that is a Semitic superlative form. The way I think of it is, "You got your rams; among them THAT one is the big one." Which comes down to, "That's the biggest ram."

What do you know! Mine, too.

"And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women...

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." -- Luke 1:28,42

Apparently the RCC foists this deception off on an unsuspecting laity to further their opinion that Mary is a "co-redeemer" and a "dispensatrix of all grace."

Blasphemy upon blasphemy.
