Since the ark was most definitely NOT God, it would seem blasphemy would apply to making it a type for Jesus.

It was a TYPE of Christ pointing TO HIM..the entire OT points TO HIM ...

Thanks for your reply.

It's either a type of Christ or a pointing to Christ (not a type). My point was that since the Ark is definitely NOT God, making it a type would be more in the direction of blasphemy, responding to your charge of same.

Mary is not God and carried God. The type here for Ark/Mary is more clear - and I believe, less blasphemous for the reason above.
