You have never read the Old Testament story about the man falling over dead when he touched the Ark of the Old Covenant?

Too bad.

What do you know about typology?

I surely have; but I don't recall anywhere reading this same admonishment about Mary.

I don't recall reading that the animals she rode being struck dead for having touched her; was she carried by men hoisting her around on poles?

More amazing lies concocted by the Roman Carholic Church. And what's more, I'm astounded you would believe such tripe. I pity you that you do.

No one ever died touching Mary...That ought to be a huge clue to you that Mary was NOT a 'type' of the Ark of the covenant...

The Ark of the Covenant was deadly because God specified there had to be a mediator between His presence and men. That was the High Priest, allowed to face the ark once a year.

At the crucifiction of Jesus, the veil that separated humanity from God’s presence was ripped from top to bottom.

Now we are told that we have one mediator and one sacrifice, and that we no longer need sacrifices of animals to approach God.

There is no Ark of the New Covenant that kills men who dare come into God’s presence.
