He has attempted to redefine the Holy Scriptures.

What would you expect?

It is a Catholic tradition to do so!

I note that you spend about ten times as many words praising Mary as you do praising Christ.

When I was a Catholic, I praised Mary, a lot more than I praised God. I don’t anymore, of course. 😃

—> Or if you were God even- would you not want to choose the most Immaculate woman ever to bring into this world- your only begotten son?

Only one who doesn’t understand the gospel of grace could even form that sentence - nor the Scriptures.

Mary was not prophesied to be sinless.

Nor was it required to fulfill Christ’s mission.

Nor was it true.

I guess not, but I am sure I will survive the utter horror, of not getting what the apparition promised. 😀 I thought the apparition promised to convert Russia. On the other hand, according to you, Joseph was NOT a horny old goat. 😂 He and Mary, actually did the evil deed, and had sexual pleasure in their life. Two of the half brothers of Jesus, were James and Jude, who both wrote books in the New Testament, and James was the leader of the Jerusalem church, not Peter. Who knows when Mary and the others actually became believers? Some say Mary knew Jesus was different, but didn’t REALLY know who he was, till he walked out of the tomb. Who knows for sure, but do you think Catholic heads are exploding? Oh well, such is life. 😊😀

Likely the full realization came on the Day or Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came on those in the house and filled them.

Then He could enlighten them in a way that was not done before.

Either your comprehension is faulty, or you are choosing to be dishonest here.
I wish it were the former, but given your visceral tendencies toward Catholics, ...

In your haste, you failed to grasp what I clearly stated at the outset.

Though- any Catholic who knows their faith properly, knows that we can NEVER love Mary- more than we love Jesus. Never, Ever.

That we love God's choice for bringing his Son into this world- neither distracts from, degrades, nor diminishes His Son.
Mary's Soul Magnifies Christ- not the other way round.

But no, it is you who chooses to cut yourself off from the fullness of Christ's life in denying the Blessed Virgin.
You choose to be neither blessed by Mary, nor allow her to bless you.

If that's what you think God wants for you, then I say...
Good for you.

You may think that you sound holy by going on about Mary, but all you’re doing is degrading Christ!

"Holy"?
My confession list gets longer , not shorter jawing with you knuckleheads and all your different brands...
"Going on about Mary"
I post a daily Gospel you might have noticed, that rarely includes mention of the Blessed Theotokos.But when I catch wind of someone dissing Jesus' momma... I'll fight that fight every time.

And if you could open your mind while you read something- what I was going on about was NOT mine- but of Fr. Don Calloway... if you were paying attention at all.
As I CLEARLY CITED- It was Fr. Calloway's  hypothetical ideal of how you would choose Mary if you were Jesus - NOT mine.
Pay attention- I take no credit in his story- and how that thought came to him.

You see - Father Calloway,  had a rough childhood- 3 fathers by age 8, he was a military kid- moved around alot-  got hooked on drugs, angry, satanic heavy metal listener- atheist.. a real ahole teenager (by his own admission).
His behavior was so bad he actually got kicked out of a foreign country his family was stationed in - Japan or Korea, not sure.
Back in the states he was drug addicted and homeless.

And then... as he tells it,  The Blessed Virgin came into his life. Through spiritual direction of Nuns, dedicated to  Mary- working for Christ- they brought him to Jesus through the love of HIS Mother.
And what did she do? She took his broken butt, cleaned him up- and pointed him to Jesus-
and then into the priesthood.

You think Mary serves no purpose to Christ?
Keep thinkin that... Google this Priest to learn how wrong you are.

You want "holy"? -
Fr. Calloway is holy-
not me.

It was a hypothetical...
The abstract thought was not to make a human to be God.
You knew that.

Though... we are after all...
Made in HIS IMAGE and LIKENESS

Hmmm...
Maybe that question of choosing what desiring attributes for Mary to share the flesh of Christ with -
isn't so hypothetical after all...

Possibly, but it means Mary was a lost sinner at one time. She was a sinner, like all of us. I know that doesn’t sit well with the Romans, but I prefer to tell the truth, and the truth is, Mary was a sinner, who had sex with her husband, and gave birth to a number of other children. When God said be fruitful, Mary and Joseph obeyed God, and multiplied, big time. 😀 By the way, didn’t God punish Israel, for worshipping Mary? 😊😀 It’s necromancy. It’s evil.

Magic Thinking is strong with you. There is a great lie coming. You will embrace it eagerly. The incident at Fatima was a great lie, but it was made so by your religion, the Catholic Church so eager to rely on apparitions and signs and lying wonders.

And the Roman soul magnifies Mary, prays to her, gives her false titles, and turns her into a demigoddess.

I guess the Holy spirit is chopped liver to you all as well.

Who needs the Godhead when we can go to Mary for everything. She gets the love, the devotion, the glory that belongs to God alone, she teaches, she leads people to Jesus, she saves, she blesses.

With a Mary like that to worship, adore, look to and emulate, who needs God?

You want "holy"? - Fr. Calloway is holy- not me.

GOD is holy.

Really????

Because when one reads what you have just posted about Mary, that is a very difficult to believe statement.

All your posts about Mary do nothing BUT make a human to be God.

You are correct MM, it surely does. Sounds a bit like Mormonism, becoming gods. Isn’t that what Satan offered Adam and Eve, that they would be like God, knowing good and evil? And also, isn’t this desire to be like the Most High, kind of what led to the Fall, in the first place?

LOL! They say one of Mary’s names is “Un-tier Of Knots” or similar.

Gordian knots? 😀
