[ealgeone]

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

*****

Key point from this verse....they worshipped Him.

The gave gifts to Him.

Additional key point.

Mary is called His mother....not Mother of God. They did not worship or "venerate" her.

[allwrong57]

If Mary’s his mother, is she not the mother of God? I don’t think they’d have to call her anything but his mother, that should be obvious.
