Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

If you take this in the literal fashion you seem to want to do, then you basically have introduced Jesus teaching a contradiction to Scripture.

Earlier in Luke we hear that "all generations will call her blessed." Then, according to your interpetation, Jesus contradicts that and says "Nah, forget her, blessed are the believers instead"

So how do you explain this contradiction. JEsus is commanding us here (According to you) not to consider his mother blessed, in contradiction to earlier Scripture.

I am quite sure that all generations have called Mary blessed.

But this is simply the adulation of man, as opposed to the evaluation of God.

Now, don't get me wrong ... Mary was blessed by God, as we all have the opportunity to be ... in that she had/has relationship with God, and the blessings which flow from that relationship.

Editing the Bible too are you?

"all generations will call her blessed." Spoken by Mary.

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.Spoken by Jesus.

And the truth is all generations will call her blessed.

And the truth is you,once again, are caught playing fast and loose with the truth.
