The point we are making is that Jesus was incarnated to save sinners, yet Rome has built up a religion that is intent on saving Jesus from the sinners He came to save!

Thus Mary came into the world to save Jesus from sins and as many Catholics profess, to her Christ owed His sinless blood to. Which is consistent with the elevation of the Mary of Catholicism, while in Scripture the Lord owes man nothing, and Mary owed her very existence to Christ.

Note that many Catholic Marian attributions much parallel even that of Christ:

For in the the Catholic quest to almost deify Mary, it is taught by Catholics*,

Mary was a holy, virtuous instrument of God, but of whom Scripture says relatively little, while holy fear ought to restrain ascribing positions, honor, glory and powers to a mortal that God has not revealed as given to them, and or are only revealed as being possessed by God Himself. But like as the Israelites made an instrument of God an object of worship, (Num. 21:8,9; 2Kg. 18:4) Catholics have magnified Mary far beyond what is written and warranted and even allowed, based on what is in Scripture.

Mary’s womb carried the body spoken of in Heb10:5 referencing the OT proclamation. Mary did not carry God in her womb.
