The reason for this article is to determine if the worship/veneration given to Mary by the catholic church is justified from a Biblical perspective. This will be evaluated using the Biblical standard and not man’s standard.

That third brain cell apparently died when it came up against “Ossibly”. Do you have a bone to pick?

Luke 2:22-24
When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”
Leviticus 12:7-8
Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

It always amazes me how often Protestants come to completely erroneous conclusions like that.

we received all this Good News from loud-talking guys on podiums and they learned it from others before them and from reading the Holy Bible. Which the Catholics are to be praised for compiling for us.
Why do they now bemoan the fact they failed to keep the COPYRIGHT current?

As I have been repeatedly saying, Daniel, the word 'veneration' does not appear in our English bible anyplace at all. ...; We venerate that 'greatest generation' of World War II veterans. Our veneration reaches all the way to paying for those 'Honor Flights' that bring them to DC to see the WWII memorial. That is your problem: you are not looking to the Bible to define the difference btwn mere obeisance to man versus worship. In relatively rare cases bowing down to men of God is sanctioned in showing reverence or humiliation, (Gn. 42:6; 43:26;28; 48:12; Rv. 3:9) but never btwn NT brethren, which Peter refused, (Acts 10:25.26) for Christ said, "all ye are brethren," "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Matthew 23:8,12)
But what is never sanctioned is
kneeling before a statue
and praising the entity it represented in the unseen world,
and as having Divine powers and glory,
and or making offerings and beseeching such for Heavenly help,
directly accessed by mental prayer.
Is this how people venerate WW2 vets?
Out the over 200 prayers in Scripture , can you show us even one where a believer addresses anyone else in Heaven but the Lord?
Or anywhere in which anyone else but the Lord has the power to hear virtually infinite amounts of prayer, even mental prayer, addressed to them?
Let alone the demigoddess status ascribed to The MARY of CATHOLICISM

I do things on a "need to know" basis..I was this way when I bought my first motorcycle.
After my first crash I realized I no longer needed to know why them SISSIES wore them helmets.

Why don’t you just post that for a change, maybe?
2 Peter 3:16
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
