i am happy to agree with you, we shouldn’t elevate Mary to a status approaching demigoddess. She is a created human being just like you and me, except God chose her to be the vehicle where Jesus would derive His humanity and give birth to our Savior.
... and mankind fell with Adam, when sin entered the world and by sin came death, to which all mankind has been subject other than Jesus Christ himself.
So, we’ve come full circle here, right back where we started. You’ve since written words to the effect that Mary was not subject to sin, and that her grave is not known, apparently implying that she was assumed bodily into heaven. These statements would seem to contradict your initial statement that originally compelled me to respond in astonished agreement, while being very uncertain whether you actually agreed yourself.
You’ve certainly cleared up that uncertainty, oLofob. We’ve made progress here tonight.
