>>>You cannot provide one Scriptural account where Mary is called<<<

Oh common, get over yourself. Luke’s gospel is an ample explanation of how the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.

Your arguments are disingenuous to interpreting the text. Its a false hermeneutic to interpret scripture that way. Not even Jesus did so, See Matthew 22:41-45 which is a great example btw.

>>>spouse of the Holy Spirit<<

Lk 1:35
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

When the power of the holy spirit overshadowed Mary God supplied himself to be born of the Virgin. She is the spouse of God in the sense that the power of the Holy Spirit brought abut Jesus into the world.

>>>Correcting error about who Jesus is is best done using Scripture, not going into further error by making up wrong teaching about Mary. It is NOT a necessary connection to Jesus. It’s just an excuse to deify Mary.<<<

False, there is nothing wrong with stating the obvious from scripture. Jesus is God, therefore Mary is the mother of God. This is a broken record.

You shouldn’t let your disagreement towards the Catholic Church cloud your understanding of Jesus. Your dismissal of Mary is making you claim false things about the Nature of Christ. This is bad theology and a bad practice of faith. In arguing this way you argue like the Pharisee.

She is not the mother of God the Father. Saying so is to put her before the foundation of the world. Mary is eternal, but as a human she had a start, bound by time, space, and humanity. God the father, Son, and Holy Spirit are eternal. She was the vessel that God the father used to bring forth his Son into the world.

No matter how hard you try, it's not there...And thank God it's not there...The last thing we need is the mother of God who is the wife of God and who is the wife of her son who is the mother of God's son who is also the daughter of God and the daughter of her son Jesus...That's quite a mess you got going on there...Way, way too much paganism there...Do far better to just stick with scripture...In fact, quite the contrary...

It certainly is not obvious from scripture...And you are right, your religion sounds like a broken record...
