All these pretender Christians never answer for their own inconsistencies by making it a point to constantly accuse real Christians.

Real Christians believe the bible rather than that Mary is:

Holy Mary
Holy Mother of God;
Most honored of virgins;
Chosen daughter of the Father
Mother of Christ;
Glory of the Holy Spirit
Virgin daughter of Zion,
Virgin poor and humble,
Virgin gentle and obedient,
Handmaid of the Lord,
Mother of the Lord,
Helper of the Redeemed,
Full of grace,
Fountain of beauty,
Model of virtue,
Finest fruit of the redemption,
Perfect disciple of Christ,
Untarnished image of the Church,
Woman transformed,
Woman clothed with the sun,
Woman crowned with stars,
Gentile Lady,
Gracious Lady,
Our Lady,
Joy of Israel,
Splendor of the Church,
Pride of the human race,
Advocate of grace,
Minister of holiness,
Champion of God’s people,
Queen of love,
Queen of mercy,
Queen of peace,
Queen of angels,
Queen of patriarchs and prophets,
Queen of apostles and martyrs,
Queen of confessors and virgins,
Queen of all saints,
Queen conceived without original sin,
Queen assumed into heaven,
Queen of all earth,
Queen of heaven,
Queen of the universe (pp. 190,191)
From the “Litany of Loreto”
Mother of the Church,
Mother of Divine grace,
Mother most pure;
Mother of chaste love;
Mother and virgin,
Sinless Mother,
Dearest of Mothers,
Model of motherhood,
Mother of good counsel;
Mother of our Creator;
Mother of our Savior;
Virgin most wise;
Virgin rightly praised;
Virgin rightly renowned;
Virgin most powerful;
Virgin gentle in mercy;
Faithful Virgin;
Mirror of justice;
Throne of wisdom;
Cause of our joy;
Shrine of the Spirit;
Glory of Israel,
Vessel of selfless devotion;
Mystical rose;
Tower of David;
Tower of ivory;
House of gold;
Ark of the covenant;
Gate of heaven;
Morning star;
Health of the sick;
Refuge of sinners;

Real Christians believe the bible...

True, but they also know when it tells us to feed the poor that doesn't prove the Holy Spirit teaches us how to cook.

THANKS.

It's a bit difficult to understand how any authentic Christian can read such a list of outrageously blasphemous attributes of even the caricature of Mary

without

their blood curdling and a vigorous anguished scream of utter dismay beginning in their big toes and rushing forth with great fury from their mouths.

Mind Boggling.

Gentile Lady,

Would you kindly cut me a HUGE chunk o' break here? Mary was many things, but I don't think we have bestowed on her the title of Shiksa. I think if you're going to unleash a barrage you ought to try to see to it that none of the shells is a dud.

And I'm looking for something in all this list that takes away from the Supreme Sovereignty of God. Coming up empty.The Great Divorce. Those who receive great gifts from God are indeed resplendent as the moon (at 0300 today) shone beautifully with a light not its own. I am confident that a few passing bits of space debris scoffed at all those who gazed on that moon and said, "How lovely!"

"How DARE they!" they said. "The SUN is the only source of light in this system! How impious to praise a mere satellite or a sunset or the light shining on the clouds! And I don't even want to HEAR about rainbows! Don't they know they must praise only the Sun and never his works in which he shows his glory?"

The Lord is glorious in all His works, but don't you let me catch you praising what He has done.
