To say that Jesus renounced the veneration of Mary because the woman said,....

“Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.” KJV Or as other translations say, “Blessed is the woman who gave you birth and nursed you.”

....is to say that Jesus contradicted Scripture when Mary says that all generations will call her blessed after Elizabeth has called her blessed.

Jesus here is saying that Mary was blessed to carry and give birth and to suckle Him BECAUSE she heard the Word of God and obeyed. In the same way we do what Mary did, we too will be blessed.

And gee, once again, asking the saints who have passed through death into life with Jesus for intercession is not the same as contacting or calling up the spirits of the dead for knowledge of the future for earthly personal gain.

And gee, again, that you believe there is no Scriptural support for those doctrines is a matter of your opinion based on a tradition different than mine.

And again, by whose authority do you deny my beliefs and traditions?

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

When you are in stress as those heathen you don’t pray through those who have died?
