God allowed Nestorious tongue to rot in his own mouth for saying such heresies.

I suppose that if you worship Mary, it would be heresy. However, since all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and Mary is just a human being as the rest of us are, while she is highly favored and blessed in that she was chosen to bear the Messiah, there is NOTHING, not one thing in Scripture that supports the Catholic teachings about her and things like her perpetual virginity and alleged immaculate conception. She was not sinless.

She is NOT the mother of the church. There is NO Scripture basis for that at all.

Essentially, she had the right lineage. I don't doubt that there could have been many other women could have been as well qualified to bear the Messiah except for that.

INDEED.

AND

God could have raised up a suitably righteous woman of the right lineage from any old rock in the area just as He could have raised up children of Abraham from said rocks as Christ said.

“”there is NOTHING, not one thing in Scripture that supports the Catholic teachings about her “”

You’re very wrong on this and make the common mistake of many protestants by not reading the Bible through typology like the early Christians did

I suggest you read the typology section of this post
