along with the fact that "Mother of God" and "Queen of Heaven" have been the titles of Semiramis (The "actual" Whore of Babylon), and her successors in the pantheon. There isn't *anything* in the Bible that promotes "goddess" worship, and MUCH that speaks against it.

The term is also used by Hera, Saraswati etc.

and the term King of Kings was used by Cyrus the Great of Persia first in 500 BC (Shahenshah) and by gods in the Hindu and Egyptian pantheon.

And the term God of Light or Son of God is used by Mithra

And the term Messiah derives from Zoroastrianism terms for this.

All of that means nothing beyond a term used -- the main term for Mary is Theotokos which translates directly as God-bearer. In non-Greek that is translated as Mother of God, just like Roamertokos means bearer of Roamer or mother of Roamer.

And, Mary is just a creature, a created being, created by God, not divine in any way.

As I said, "her successors").

Thanks for the reenforcement. ALL of the pantheistic types trace backward to Babylon, and forward to Rome. Research the Mystery Religion.

If that were ALL it meant, we would not have an argument. But the self-same titles projecting the very same ideas, are part and parcel of the Mystery system, and are notably *absent* from the Oracles of Jehovah...

...Except in their description of the Whore of Babylon.
