It comes across

as a VERY BRAZEN VERBAL, LINGUISTIC MANIPULATION

TO GIVE THE CARICATURED MARY PERSONAGE

A BOOST—AN UNWARRANTED, UNBIBLICAL BOOST

TOWARD UNWARRANTED, UNBIBLICAL ELEVATION

above that of simple, humble, obedient Believer—which is all the Bible ever casts her as.

Peter, all the greats in Scripture and every recorded example of any angelic visitations ALWAYS DECLINED even HINTS of such elevations.

One would think the RCC would take the hint.

WRONG!

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Mad Dawg asks "What's the difference between God and God Almighty."

Here are some passages to meditate on those Names of God and the Trinity:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Revelation 1:8

I am [which is] Alpha [which was] and Omega, [which is to come] the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God [El Shaddai]; walk before me, and be thou perfect. - Genesis 17:1

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. – Exodus 3:14

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. - John 8:58

As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. – John 18:6

More specifically revealing the Trinity:

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: - Matthew 28:19

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
