I learned it watching FR Catholics. As long as they agree Mary means the Fast Track to Jesus, they'll all swear to it, and insult your mental capacity for not agreeing.
Your comment: “As long as they agree Mary means the Fast Track to Jesus, they’ll all swear to it, and insult your mental capacity for not agreeing.”
How easily you forget the ten commandments, especially #4?
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

It is very easy to state what it is that you don’t believe. That has been the history of Protestantism. Protestantism itself began as a... you guessed it... “protest.” “We are against this, this, this, and this.” It was a “protest” against Catholicism. However, the movement could not continue to exist as a protestant against something. It had to stand for something. And that is when the trouble began. When groups of non-infallible men attempted to agree, the result ended up being the thousands of Protestant sects we see today.
Dr. Walter Martin was a good Protestant. He certainly and boldly proclaimed, “I do not believe Mary is the Mother of God.” That’s fine and good. The hard part came when he had to build a theology congruent with his denial.
Right. Thank you.
I guess plagiarism really is the sincerest form of flattery.
Of course, if fits right in with the normal Protestant ethic.
