Revealed knowledge is when I dig into the real meaning of the Greek word menounge. Its then that I find out that Jesus really said nay rather when someone was trying to give veneration to Mary. Revealed knowledge is when I find out that the Catholic Church only began to claim the Apocryphal books were inspired after they needed them to confirm doctrine not found in what they formerly declared scripture.
Nice try tho Mark.

Context is all, here. Christ's pronouncement while on the Cross shows what He wanted to be known about Mary.
Let's see. When were the Deuterocanonicals canonized? In the late 300s, I believe. Did they need to be canonized then to promote some heinous plot?

(I would not believe in the Gospel, if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
