From my perspective, many Protestants miss part of the significance of the Incarnation. The Word became Flesh, through a woman, the Incarnate Word was born, had a mother.

That's as far as it goes with me...And of course, Mary was blessed...

The only and entire focus is on the life and death of Jesus...The Savior of mankind...

God needed a human body for Jesus to become human...That's all there is too it...Mary lived on and died in obscurity...

Simple as that...I'm not missing anything of significance...Mary had absolutely nothing to offer, besides Jesus and she didn't offer anything...

There is absolutely no Christian reason to elevate obscure Mary to a position that was not marked in the scriptures...
