We have to go to the scriptures, which unequivocally show that Mary was a sinner.

Many catholics have a strong inclination to follow the ancient worship of Ishtar/Semiramis, substituting Mary as a proxy.

All the titles that catholics ascribe to “Mary” are historically those of Ishtar. (Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, etc.)

“But the other conception, namely the infusion of the soul, it is piously and suitably believed, was without any sin, so that while the soul was being infused, she would at the same time be cleansed from original sin and adorned with the gifts of God to receive the holy soul thus infused. And thus, in the very moment in which she began to live, she was without all sin...”

Martin Luther, Weimar edition of Martin Luther’s Works,

English translation edited by J. Pelikan [Concordia: St.

Louis], Volume 4, 694.

You lie. But I see what you mean.
Did you know many Protestants have a strong inclination to follow the ancient worship of (insert male pagan deity of choice) who is called Lord, King of Heaven, Mighty. See that is how your lie works. Of course Protestants do not worship anyone but God. But I can take a fact and twist it to become calumny. You do it so well. I thought I would see if I could match your skill.

You left out Ashoreth, the original Ishtar.
