You may want to do some research on what God says about incorporating pagan practices. From experience I would suspect you wont. You still havent given me scripture to support the assumption of Mary. You deflect by asking more questions or changing the subject but answering that not so much.
This is interesting. I know I am butting in but, it is an open forum.
Are there any scriptural models of what Our Lord Jesus Christ did when He was asked questions? Did he ever defend himself? I know The best answers are only God's Word. What I say does not matter. I am too lazy to cut and paste.
I'm reporting this for abuse. Back off. I'm done with you.
You may want to do some research on the glorious liberty of the children of God, on how Jesus is more powerful than the non-existent gods of the gentiles, and on John Damascene’s thinking about the questions you raise.
