Exodus 20
4Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. 5Thou shalt not adore 1 them, nor serve 2 them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...

The 'Queen of Heaven'.
Look it up.
Total pagan and pantheistic garbage.
Mary wasn't the female form of God, she was a highly favored young woman.
Jesus was the only God made flesh.
God only had to send one savior, because He doesn't make mistakes. - (So He didn't have to send more than one)
Mary was fully human and not at all God. She provided the human side of Jesus' DNA.
The Holy Spirit provided the Holy (or God side) of His DNA.
Don't confuse the two. Jesus was all man and all God. Mary provided the man, the Holy Spirit provided the God.

Really?
But aren't ALL of them messed up? (maybe you can name one that isn't?)
Catholicism and the USA share a similar problem in this way.
They hate us because we are beautiful

Wow... so you think you know what Mary would approve of?
"Nasty" is pretty much in the eye of the beholder and is often more a projection than objective evaluation.
(not always - but often)
Check Rachel's verbiage and compare to mine... phony made up "insult" vs obvious "arrogance" -- which qualifies as more 'nasty'?
You do understand Abiding, that you are free to step down from the peanut gallery and join the debate/discussion, at anytime...ok? (just checking)

But Xanadu.........Mary was a human with a biological father and mother.
She supplied the part of Jesus that made Him fully 'Son of man'.
The Holy Spirit provided that part of His DNA that made Him the 'Son of God".
It is plainly written in the scriptures.
A riddle for you:
How can Jesus be the "Son of Man"-(Matt *:20,16:13, 17:9,17:22; etc.,etc.) and the "Son of God"- (Matt.8:29, 26:63, 27:54, Mark 1:1, 5:7, Luke 8:28, etc., etc.)?

Oh... maybe I misunderstood
I thought this was "Christian chat"
Am I required to be
a. Protestant?
or
b. trying to convert others to the RCC
I guess I didn't get the memo.
But it is entertaining and I am learning a lot.
["protestants are anathema to RCC"? (or is it the other way around? ... is this another 'dogma' thing?)]

Romans 3:21-23 [SUP]21 [/SUP]But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [SUP]22 [/SUP]Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [SUP]23 [/SUP]For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:11-12 [SUP]11 [/SUP]And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Neither was Mary sinless before the crucifixion.
