What defects were there in the original ark?

I know you are trying to make a point . . . but failed. We are not talking about an act of Jesus. Just some justification for the worship of Mary. I know you use the words "adore" or "revere" but let's be honest. Let's call a spade a spade. I've been to a Catholic Church before. I go by the Word of God in which it says all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

“Just some justification for the worship of Mary”

Which we don’t teach.

“I’ve been to a Catholic Church before”

Did you stay in a Holiday inn express too?

"I go by the Word of God in which it says all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God."

Unless you concede that that was a rhetorical point and not an absolute statement you have to conclude that Jesus too sinned.

Peace be with you

Perhaps in your mind but as you've demonstrated many times before, your knowledge of Scripture is, at best, suspect.

If there were no defect in the ark that held the written word, explain why there would be a defect in the ark that conceived and held the Incarnate Word?

What does it mean to be "full of grace"?

Just some justification for the worship of Mary.

Catholics don't worship the Blessed Virgin Mary despite what you might have been told. We give her the honor due in accordance with the Fourth Commandment and in accordance with her unique role in the salvation of mankind. Do you ever refer to Christ's mother as blessed as Scripture instructs, or is that another passage that you privately interpret despite Scripture instructing you not to privately interpret?

but let's be honest.

You let me know when you intend to start being honest.

in which it says all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

Resorting to the linguistic literalist argument and cherry picking Scripture always trips you people up. St. Paul uses all in the collective sense not the distributive just as King David did in Psalm 14. You understand that your literalist definition of "all" includes Christ, Adam and Eve prior to the fall and children who haven't reached that age of reason, don't you? Obviously not.
