I go with Blass and DeBrunner "It is permissible, on Greek grammatical and linguistic grounds, to paraphrase kecharitomene as completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace." I suspect they know more about Greek than you do
Are you capable of making a point without casting aspersions?

I don't know must about other religion, but catholic us critical, because a Lot of people think It as Christian.
True indeed, all religions are false except for the religion of serving Christ, (as described by the Bible) and accepting Him as Lord and Savior of one's life, and prayeruflly living according to that in daily living.

Disclosure: My religion is directly to and from my Divine Father
It is Him and only Him from whom I take direction.

It is amusing though that with thousands of denominations how the Christian faith directly from Christ
Has been shredded into who is right and who is wrong and Catholics are not Christian and Latter Day Saints
don't belong as a Christians. Let me settle this once and for all. Jesus said love the Lord your God and
your neighbor as yourself, that was the one and only commandment of Jesus. He went on to illustrate
that if you don't love your neighbor and say you love God, you're a liar. I really don't sense much fuzzy
love in much that is written on this site. If Jesus was here today, He would be pulling His hair out at
the stupidity. When we surrender our hearts to God and we make a mistake, God did not say He will kill us.
If someone sees something different than you do. And remember Jesus came to unite and not destroy.

God bless you all and please
Love your neighbor
context is important. Loving your neighbor does not mean pointing out the false teachings and false claim of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The point you are making is a good one but it must start with you first. Ensure you are doing it. Most who start out saying how their religion is directly from God and take only what God gives them is known as elticing of experience

This illustrates the wrong kind of approach and attitude for having a disussion.

Discussions are not about winners and losers.
In a good discussion - everybody wins . . .

A member of my family had a go, tearfully saying ‘I’ve followed Jesus all my life’. He doesnt read The Bible, he reads terry Pratchett, lord of the rings, Harry Potter and da Vinci code! (And goes to mass every week)

Wipes dust off 🦶

I just think that your suggestion that Catholics worship Mary, saints and ourselves at all, and before God is insulting. If that is the way you think I don't see any discussion without it getting heated.

I include myself in that description too. I don’t know you personally, so cannot judge you, & I’m sorry for insulting you...I have catholic in-laws, and that’s all I see, but I haven’t seen the bigger picture 😐

They are not truly serving Him though, as they aren't serving Him the way the Bible approves of. Same way with the religious rulers of the temple Jesus' day. Jesus said they didn't know either Him or the Father.

Untrue.
