it seems for Protestants Mary is as mouldy as their communion bread prone to mould and decay - what is glibly overlooked is that both when impregnated by God become manna from heaven and the bread of life - her flesh freely offered and impregnated was as incorrupt as His flesh - she could not and therefore did not die imho - wincam
Mouldy Mary ?

What does communion bread have to do with Mary? Nothing. Your fixation
on Mary is disturbing, but sadly also typical among Roman Catholic.
God several times throughout Scripture says He will not share His glory,
while Catholics glorify, venerate, and adore Mary. Jesus did not once in
Scripture address Mary as His mother, but Catholics call her the mother
of humanity, and as if that were not enough, the queen of heaven.
Jesus said that anyone who did the will of God was His mother, His brother,
His sister. Jesus never elevated Mary above others, but Roman Catholics
feel a need to not just elevate Mary above others, but they put her on a par
with Jesus in terms of His sinlessness, (do you really think that she needed
to be sinless so that Jesus Christ could be sinless?). They are forced by
so-called infallible papal decree to accept the Marian dogmas of her bodily
assumption and immaculate conception, neither of which have any basis
whatsoever in Scripture.
Jesus told us to pray to our Father in heaven, yet they pray to Mary, because
their popes tell them to despite what Jesus explicitly instructed. Scripture
clearly states that there is one intercessor between God and man, yet their
popes, bishops, priests, parishioners etc, will tell you to pray to Mary, and
other dead people, for intercession. They fault those who do as Jesus instructed,
while they disobey Him to follow someone else instead.
We see nothing in Scripture to endorse her bodily assumption, her perpetual virginity
(Jesus had siblings after all, two of whom have books in the Bible!), her immaculate
conception. We see no need to pray to her, or any ability on her part, as dead as she is
believed to be, to intercede on our behalf against the explicit words of Jesus in Scripture.
Within Catholicism, there is a drive to define a new Marian dogma in which
Catholics, as a matter of faith, would be obliged to accept: 1) Mary participates
in redemption with Jesus Christ; 2) grace is granted by Jesus only through the
intercession of Mary; and 3) all prayers from the faithful must flow through
Mary, who brings them to the attention of her Son. Scripture also tells us not
to call anyone Father but God, while they call many men "father" and blindly
follow them.
Roman Catholics believe that a fallible man is the Rock that Jesus is building
His Church on, not a confession of faith divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit of God,
despite a plethora of Scriptures that attest to the fact that God is the sole Rock
of our salvation. They teach purgatory, and many other things neither the apostles
nor Jesus ever taught. For instance, they claim priests must be celibate, when they
were not in the early church. Another example would be infant baptism, nowhere
promoted in Scripture. They burned people at the stake for daring to read the Bible,
which is what Scripture tells us to do. Despite all this, and more, the Catholic Church
considers herself the only valid expression of the community of God.

Mary was born a sinner. Mary sinned her whole life. Mary died a sinner and was buried. Show us where in the Scriptures did God ever say Mary was assumed into Heaven.
Its so sad to see a person throw away his Salvation in Christ just to Worship and serve a different god.
Do you really hate God so much that you are willing to walk into the Lake of Fire just to Worship and serve Mary as your God wincam?
Show us Book, Chapter, and Verse where God says Mary is our Manna! Its not in the Scriptures. This teaching was created by the Corrupted Catholic Church to keep you wincam in bondage to Satan.

Mary is merely a pile of bones and ashes. Nothing more.. She is NOT alive somewhere, she DID die. Presumably she went to heaven. 
Sorry, but the popes ain't inspired by the Holy Spirit. :/ They're fueled by the unholy spirit who dwells down south. Mary IS dead, nothing but bones and ashes, like I stated in my previous posts. She's NOT walking around this world performing miracles. lol.. For those who use their common sense, the fact that Mary is dead should be fairly obvious. Just sayin'..
Sorry, but YOU are the foolish one to presume that Mary is alive all these milennias later. You're wrong and you know it and you're just clinging to this insane theory that Mary is still roaming this earth. You say the bible doesn't say that she's dead. Well, it doesn't say she is still alive either. Sorry to burst your catholic bubble, but Mary IS DEAD.. Has been dead for several millennia now..
This is a deflection. Because you seem completely unable to address the challenges to your OP, you change direction and bluster about confusion and chaos instead of presenting a rational and sound defense of your position. Seriously... if you want to debate, you need to step up and stop reasoning like a child.
