I’ve never met a Mary worshiper. Only Christians who honor her because of the special role she played in salvation history as the mother of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. a title firmly established in Luke 1: 41-43, where Elizabeth addresses Mary as “mother of my Lord”.

That being said, I will repeat the question in simpler terms: Is the fact Mary bore a son in common with God special?

.
Stretching the meaning of Elizabeth’s words is disobedience to God.

Mary bore a son by the will of God, not “in common with him.” Your statement is gastly blasphemy at best. Jesus knew that this blasphemy would arise, so he handled it:

>> Luk 11:27
¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

Luk 11:28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it. <<

You can accept his words, or you can reject them. He made many similar comments whenever anyone attempted to lift up Mary. I’ll accept the words of my Lord and savior.
