"Of course she is..."

Nope! If we are all equal how do you explain the unequal distribution of Gifts? (1 Corinthians 12) How very unscriptural for you to deny that Mary was the recipient of all of the Gifts of the Spirit. How disappointing that those who preach the rapture of the elect deny that it has or even could have already happened to Mary.

The gifts are for the edification of the body. They are distributed according the the HS will for that purpose. It has NOTHING to do with anyone "deserving" something or not.

It's got everything to do with God's plan and purpose for our lives.

Mary was an apostle? A teacher? She spoke in tongues? She interpreted tongues? She had the gift of healing?

How disappointing that those who preach the rapture of the elect deny that it has or even could have already happened to Mary.

Scripture is silent on Mary's demise and whatever happened to her afterward. Anything beyond what is recorded or not in Scripture is pure, unmitigated speculation.

Oh??

How very unscriptural for you to CLAIM that Mary was the recipient of all of the Gifts of the Spirit.

(You can prove the above statement wrong by indicating book, chapter and verses.)

So you equate the number of Gifts to some kind of greatness? LOL! You keep proving 1 Cor 2:14.. "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

They are not unequal in God's eyes ONLY to man who are deceived by man through a worldly 'church'!

Meditate on this... God is NO respector of persons.
