Book, chapter and verse, please.
Where are you getting ideas about worshipping Mary?
Probably from watching people bowing to her statues, lighting candles to her, praying to her, just for starters.
I don't suppose many of the comments daniel has posted showing the the church hierarchy's deification of her helps the matter either.
My religion, Christianity, says we pray to God through Jesus. Anything else is not Christian. Nothing in the Bible tells me to pray to someone else, appointed by a human after their death, who somehow gets access to Jesus for me.
Catholics assign more power to these Saints than they do to Jesus. How could anyone who reads the Bible think to pray to anyone except Jesus?
Book, chapter and verse, please. Luk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
The Greek word for "Hail" is used only twice in the Bible. The second time when the soldiers are mocking Christ during the crowning with thorns. It is a word reserved for royalty. I am certain that you are familiar with the phrase "Hail Cesar"
Luk 1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?
Jesus is the second person of the Trinity. He is the Lord, He is God. Even Elizabeth and her unborn son John recognize Mary as the Mother of God.
Luk 1:48 For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
I am certain that you understand that one someone is recognized as "blessed" and "Highly favored" by God, that they should be held in esteem
