>>All generations will call you blessed? Not just ‘you are blessed? There’s a significant difference.<<

Yep. Just as “all generations will call you a great composer”, as opposed to “you are a great composer”. And the difference in the two can be summed up in one word: Fame.

Well let’s take your conclusion to the natural consequence.

Mary was just a woman, so we’d expect to hear about Elizabeth as often as we do Mary.

I’ve yet to hear a protestant (and I was a protestant), ever preach a sermon on Mary, despite her prominence in Luke 1. Why is this? Why is she second fiddle to Mary?
