Actually she is the queen of heaven.

“The “queen of heaven” concept is a pagan concept never once sanctioned by any teaching of scripture.”

False. Mary as queen of heaven is not remotely of pagan origin. Also, it is in Rev. 12, and it doesn’t need explicit mention in scripture anyway since the Bible was never intended by God to hold all truths.

and of course you could show where the apostles taught that or at least instituting the office of “queen of heaven”.

>>Also, it is in Rev. 12<<

So you’re saying that the woman in Revelation 12 is Mary? If it is you would also admit that Mary returns to earth to be tormented once again as it says of the woman in Revelation 12:

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

What was Collyridianism ? What exactly did the Collyridians do that they were considered heretics ?
