So, doesn't the Orthodox Presbyterian group consider Machen a demi-god or a saint or some kind of redeemer? Various "infallible in matters of faith" Roman Catholic popes have referred to Mary as a "co-redeemer."
When and if you ever find anyone other than foolish Roman Catholics, fond of nasty hyperbole and void of a sound defense of their own faith, calling Machen (or any human being) a "demi-god" and "some kind of redeemer," please let us all know.
Machen was a saint, however; one of hundreds of thousands of God's saints on earth who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior and our only redeemer.

"Various "infallible in matters of faith" Roman Catholic popes have referred to Mary as a "co-redeemer."" Please cite your sources. Although there is some advocacy within the Church by some of its bishops the official position of the Church is that Mary is "Redemptoris Mater", the Mother of the Redeemer.
The Church also recognizes Mary's special cooperation in the redemptive sacrifice because of the importance of Mary's consent and obedience in the work of our salvation.

"Various "infallible in matters of faith" Roman Catholic popes have referred to Mary as a "co-redeemer." " To further educate you on your error the Church's teaching makes a clear distinction between the Mother and the Son in the work of salvation, explaining the Blessed Virgin's subordination, as cooperator, to the one Redeemer.

So your sub-group in the OPCult believes Machen was a saint. Which of the other sub-cults (like the BPC, APC etc.) believe he was a demi-god? Ascribing such things to a cult creator is, well, cultish.
