Mary is not a deity is what it means. You can only get to the FATHER in Jesus’ name, and Mary is not Jesus. Jesus does not need the help of “intercessors” to hear our prayers.
The title “Mother of God” has NOTHING to do with Mary’s being an intercessor, or with Mary’s being a “deity.”
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God. (Jesus is NOT the Trinity.)
That makes Mary the mother of God. (Not the mother of the Trinity.)
If you deny that Mary is the mother of God, you have to deny that Mary is the mother of Jesus. You have to deny that the Word became flesh. You have to deny that God became man. You have to deny the entire gospel and the entire Christian Faith.
Now WAIT! just a gol durned MINUTE here!!!
Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT a deity!
