I find it amazing that catholics hold Mary to be higher than God. they are more concerned about her than they are about Him.No one else was the Mother of God, Bonnie. Amazing that Protestants treat that like it is commonplace and no big deal.

Totally false! Mary is the ONLY hope for sinners? What does that make Jesus? Chopped liver? Gate of heaven? JESUS says HE is the gate! How about Morning Star? Jesus said HE is the Morning Star, in Revelation. Health of the sick? It is God Who heals, not Mary! Comfort of the Afflicted? I thought the HS is our Comforter! Cause of our Joy? What? Jesus is our source of joy, not Mary!
None of these titles for Mary is remotely Biblical, and two of them are given to Jesus in the Bible, not Mary!
So very, very wrong!
we aren't the ones who ignore her Son and place her above Him. catholics do that.Everything you received from Jesus, you did so because He entered time and space incarnated from her flesh. That is a big deal. You treat it as nothing.
This has nothing to do with that wretched statue being paraded around in Spain, and is just an emotional attack in an attempt to make me feel guilty. Won't work.No one else was the Mother of God, Bonnie. Amazing that Protestants treat that like it is commonplace and no big deal.
Oh, my, what a lot of baloney from the Catholic deli! You are most terribly and wretchedly wrong, pilgrim! This post is sheer desperation on your part, to score a "point" in this debate. Can't refute what we non-Catholics write on here, so attack the messengers' character!edit
No everything we receive from Jesus is because He decided before Mary was even born to come down in human form. Mary is not the mother of His divinity at all, it existed before Mary existed. So she clearly is not the mother of God. She is not the mother of the father or the HS and the word God encompasses the 3 persons of God. She is the mother of Jesus who is both human and Divine.Everything you received from Jesus, you did so because He entered time and space incarnated from her flesh. edit per mod
Mary obeyed God and took on the possibility of being an unwed mother in a time when she could have been stoned to death. She showed bravery and courage. Of course we do not belittle her nor do we elevate to the status of a goddess which is what happens to the RC Mary.
