Q
Where is the verse that says the angel said " Hail Mary full of grace?"
I'm reading in Luke and the angel says, " Greetings you who are highly favored..."
Not full of grace?
Yes Mary needed a savior to save her from her sin as we all do.
As far as giving titles;
It's not so much the titles as it is the aspect of reverence. The cross is considered an idol biblicaly, and even the bible talks about those who bow before these objects made of wood or stone ( statues,) and even the Pope has bowed before a statue of Mary.
It is essentially idolatry.
Then there are verses that say, " there is only one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ," 1 Timothy I believe - meaning prayers and all that jazz are to be given to Christ alone, not anyone else because they do not share that mediator authority.
God specifies these things through the bible for a reason - and idolatry and giving authority to human figures leads to false teachings and being lead away from the commandments of God. Note that things such as these gave birth to the reformation in which the teachings of the church have become collectively subjective and thus unreliable for real truth.
No one really knows the truth to God and it's because everyone put their little spin on the bible. This is no good, because this essentially is man enforcing man's thoughts on what was laid down by God.
Thus Jesus Christ brought the gospel with him; he didn't just come to the earth to bear sin, but he left a New covenant and various commands and teachings for his people to follow. None of which talk about crucifixes or praying to anyone else but him.
I suppose the common idea is that these smaller details don't matter - but perhaps these details aren't " small " in the eyes of God, since they are addressed so strongly in the bible.
Idk...
