So even you don't like my analogies. :o(
I would expect you to understand better, how such things are contextualised.
There exists a threshold where the content of what is said overrides the accompanying disclaimer. Consider the anti-war protesters, who are always quick to assert "but we support our troops".
We obviously disagree as to whether or not this threshold was surpassed in these examples.
The organizers of the "peace riots" know that their protestations of support for the troops is a lie.
We obviously disagree as to whether or not this threshold was surpassed in these examples.
Obviously. I have been poking at this for days and I am still unable to get any specific answers.
What do you think makes Mary divine? Why are our "protestations" to the contrary ineffective?
Reggie almost answered, and was making some point about being born perfect as a human meanign one was divine. Why this is different from being born imperfect and then perfected later was not answered.
I make another analogy about roles that we would play in heaven, but there is no serious response to that.
So what is it that makes people see these things and assume that we consider Mary divine?
