The good Dr. E. had some problems with the Incarnation of Jesus.

You've made this crude and loony statement before, Mark.

Really? I don't remember making any crude or loony statements.

What could you possibly mean by it?

The role of Mary as Mother of God, for instance. The role of Jesus as Saviour of the World, for another.

Or are you mind-reading again?

I'd have to get my scanning electron microscope again. :)

I have no “problems with the Incarnation,” Mark. It’s not that difficult a concept to grasp if faith has been received. God choose a simple Jewish girl to carry to term the Christ child. After she had completed her task, her part in Scripture is diminished considerably to the point where Jesus corrects a woman who is looking for his mother when He tells her that believers are His real family.

I do have problems with elevating this simple Jewish girl to Queen of the Universe” and “wife of the Holy Spirit” and “co-Redeemer” and “Dispensatrix of all graces” and “Mediator between God and men”...

All men will have to answer for the idolatry that remains in their hearts. And some will have a lot of explaining to do.

She is implying that you are lying. Its another attempt to circumvent and finesse the rules. I think we should all use "crude and looney" as a code word for lying.
