Mary, outside of giving birth to Jesus and raising Him, plays ZERO role in our salvation.

"Other than the assassination, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

Rather, it is the Holy Spirit that plays a role in our salvation.

Is there some kind of box in your theology that is big enough for Mary, and big enough for the Holy Spirit, but not big enough for both?

Scripture quotes Mary, inspired by the Holy Spirit, saying, "All generations to come shall call me blessed."

What have you done today to make that prophecy true?

Then show where in the Bible that Mary has anything to do with our salvation.

To use your box analogy, the Holy Spirit belongs in the box....Mary doesn't. The Holy Spirit is given to us as a Helper and Advocate. Mary is not.

Catholics have taken one verse on John 2 out of context and have in part built this false theology of Mary's "role in our salvation."

Scripture quotes Mary, inspired by the Holy Spirit, saying, "All generations to come shall call me blessed."

Yes, and that's about as far as the Word goes on Mary. She was called blessed for what she did. Nothing more, nothing less.

What have you done today to make that prophecy true?

I make no claim on that. The Word has already stated it to be true. When I teach lessons on the birth of Christ, I note that Mary is called blessed. She was the mother of Christ and raised Him. After that, she has ZERO role in our salvation.
