“I almost stopped reading at this juvenile reply. What are you? 14 years old?”

Just as I thought: What I was so obviously true that you can’t actually deal with it. Again, if you’re going to claim “when you’re own your knees before someone, it’s worship” then I suggest you actually think it through. If you knelt down on one knee to ask your wife to marry you, you, according TO YOUR LOGIC, worshipped your girlfriend.

“In either case it’s a graven image and the Bible clearly teaches we are not to worship or pray to graven images...”

Catholics don’t worship or pray to graven images. Period.

“or even make them for worship.”

False. 1 Kings 6:23. Once again we see that Protestant anti-Catholics just don’t seem to know the Bible very well.

“Oh gee...thanks o’ wise one...I never would have thought to do that.”

Apparently not. So far you apparently didn’t think about kneeling in front of a woman you want to marry you is worship according to your logic, nor (apparently) did you about the statues of cherubim in the Temple.

“Hence the reason I asked you to show the verses that support tradition.”

You’re the one who needs to find them.

“There are three verses the RCC hangs their hat on for tradition. When read in their context, and not lifted out like the RCC does, there is no support for the “tradition” the RCC claims. Let’s see if you can find them.”

I don’t have to find them. Post as you want.

“Outside of giving birth to Christ and raising Him, Mary has NOTHING to do with our salvation.”

That’s not how orthodox Christians see it. Only Protestant sectarians see it as you do. Their Johnny-come-lately opinion (and yours) simply doesn’t matter.

“She plays zero part in our salvation. There is NOTHING in the Bible to support the allegations of the RCC.”

True is not an allegation. I can see why a Protestant anti-Catholic might see truth as a mere allegation, however.

“Hey look...you know how to use a search engine!”

But you apparently struggle to post simple attributions.

“Regardless of the source and that it was not referenced, it remains a title the RCC give to Mary and it blasphemy. Sorry you don’t like it.”

What I like or don’t like is immaterial. Passing off someone else’s material as your own, however, is another matter. Protestant anti-Catholics do that sort of thing, however.

“I don’t give the reference and you’re not happy and then I give the reference and you’re not happy. Does it alter what is said?”

Relying on a an anti-Catholic website like CARM – which is what you did – shows that you probably only know the anti-Catholic view and probably aren’t interested in the truth in any case.

“Happy?”

I have no reason to be unhappy about people praising God’s work in and through Mary.

“oh and there’s lots more on the false teachings of Mary I haven’t provided:”

Again, there’s nothing wrong with the quote.

“And that is a fabrication right out of the pit.”

No, it isn’t. Anti-Catholic Protestants fabricate things all the time.

“have you ever had a course on interpreting the Bible and looking at the verse in question in its context??”

Yes.

Is this your attempt at logic??

when you can't argue the facts, just argue, eh?

Again, you cannot offer any Biblical support for this position of the RCC so you duck and dodge the issue.
