Mormons and Protestants agree that Mary is not special, sinned like everyone, should NOT be venerated and is just an ordinary women chosen to be the vessel to bring Jesus into the world. This Mormon/Protestant teaching (which came about in the 1600s for protestants and the 1800s for Mormons) is very far removed from early Christianity, which never taught that.
How Mary being "a virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins" (1 Nephi 11:15) and "a precious and chosen vessel" is rendering Mary to be "just an ordinary women" is an example of Catholic reasoning, as is making a religion to be "Protestant that denies the miraculous, and teaches Mary is a product of a god who is an exalted evolved man of flesh and bones."
In addition, being an ordinary women chosen to be the vessel to bring Jesus into the world
Moreover, Mary as as seen via preeminent Prot. historical commentators is consistent with Scripture says about Mary in contrast to her being an sinless, most holy, perpetual virgin. almost almighty demigodess, dispenser of all grace, who is to be bowed, beseeched and prayed to in Heaven.
font color="#4c1900">Mary is not said to be any of such in Scripture, but is presented as i said, as a holy reverent, worshipful Spirit-filled surrendered instrument of God. Mary was highly favored As being chosen in preference to all the women upon earth, to be the mother of the Messiah. Not the mother of God, for that is blasphemy. My spirit hath rejoiced - Exulted. These words are uncommonly emphatical - they show that Mary’s whole soul was filled with the Divine influence, and wrapped up in God. - Adam Clarke
thou art highly favoured; or graciously accepted, or hast obtained grace; not referring to electing, redeeming; justifying, pardoning, adopting, and sanctifying grace, which she had in common with other saints; but to that special and particular favour, in being chosen and singled out from all other women, to be the mother of the Messiah: - Gill
Luke 1:46-55 A magnificent canticle, in which the strain of Hannah’s ancient song, in like circumstances, is caught up, and just slightly modified and sublimed. Is it unnatural to suppose that the spirit of the blessed Virgin had been drawn beforehand into mysterious sympathy with the ideas and the tone of this hymn, so that when the life and fire of inspiration penetrated her whole soul it spontaneously swept the chorus of this song, enriching the Hymnal of the Church with that spirit-stirring canticle which has resounded ever since from its temple walls? In both songs, those holy women, filled with wonder to behold “the proud, the mighty, the rich,” passed by, and, in their persons the lowliest chosen to usher in the greatest events, sing of this as no capricious movement, but a great law of the kingdom of God, by which He delights to “put down the mighty from their seats and exalt them of low degree.” In both songs the strain dies away on Christ; in Hannah’s under the name of “Jehovah’s King” - to whom, through all His line, from David onwards to Himself, He will “give strength”; His “Anointed,” whose horn He will exalt (1Sa_2:10); in the Virgin’s song, it is as the “Help” promised to Israel by all the prophets.
Luke 1:47 my Saviour — Mary, poor heart, never dreamt, we see, of her own “immaculate conception” - in the offensive language of the Romanists - any more than of her own immaculate life. - Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown
The main difference between Mormon and Protestant theology on Mary is that Mormons make the bizzaro claim that God the Father had sex with the Virgin Mary and impregnated her with Jesus
All cults have some or many valid doctrines, including Romanism, but the issue is not how Mormon and Protestant theology on Mary agrees, but on how the former disagrees with Scripture, as also seen in paganism and cults.
I wonder why?
