“Thus is true -— I hope -— of each of us who have entrusted ourselves to Christ, and is eminently true of Mary, the Mother of the Incarnation. She is a kind of scout disciple, for blessed is she who believed “that what was spoken to her by the Lord eiukd be fulfilled.”
She us the image of the Church, virgin daughter Zion, Daughter of Jerusalem, Lady Ecclesia, the fulfillment of all the promises given to the Woman since Genesis, and thus what we say of her, we can say of ourselves as the Church in whom God dwells.”
Elsie, have you added these demigoddess titles God never spoke?
You never heard of terms like Old Testament, prophecy, fulfillment, types, foreshadowing? -— Really, Biblical as your interests run, I know the concepts of Biblical imaging, personification, metaphor, etc are not unfamiliar to you.
If you sincerely mistake Scriptural phrases like “Daughter Zion” or “Lady Ecclesia” as demigoddess titles -— that is, if you’re not just snarking -— I have to wonder how much of the OT and NT is truly Terra Incognita to you.
(I’m not saying this to belittle you. I’m sure you know a great deal. There’s so much depth in Scripture, and I’d be the first to admit my limitations before so vast a horizon.)
I’m away from my computer that has the data in it I’ll catch up in a week or so
