Elsie, am mystified why there is no scripture presented to refute Quix’s post presenting the statements that Mary is indeed elevated to Christ's level and certainly above that I have seen in God's word.

There are no statements that Mary is elevated to Christ's level and above that. That's why there is no scripture presented to refute such statements.

What I DID present was precisely an argument to show how those statements did not do what you and Quix allege that they do.

As for the rest of your post: We are allowed to think about Scripture. We do not think that God has a nose or that it grows hot. Your statement seems to say that if people do not use Scripture just as you do, their discussions will decay.

I have to go engage in idolatry and all the other stuff you all accuse us of.

No; I say that if folks have TRADITIONS that go against what SCRIPTURE plainly says; then those TRADITIONS are probably worthless.

No you didn't, because you can't...Taken at face value, those Mary Deity statements are just that...And that's the way they are presented to the everyday Catholics who peruse that website...

The arguments you present don't hold water, scripturally, regardless of your attempt to connect the two...

God specifically warns of the Queen of Heaven...He doesn't warn about just any Queen...It's the Queen of Heaven...The one whom people place above all creation...Just like the one you guys have...

You won't find the Queen of Heaven in the writings of the Apostles, or PolyCarp, or his contemporaries...The position was later added by Catholic officials...That ought to tell you guys something...
