It seems that you have never even thought of Mary as being the Ark of the New Covenant. Did not she carry the New Covenant (Jesus Christ) within her?

[Salvation]

Nothing is hi-jacked here.

Did not Mary intercede for the bride and the groom who were out of wine at Cana? Why don't you take that literally?

She told the servants: "Do as he tells you." The power was with Christ. She only asked on behalf of the bride and groom.

[NormB]

Please educate yourself!

Don't be so insulting. You do worship Mary.

[Salvation]

Excellent. But they don't WANT to take Luke literally like they do the rest of the Bible. It's so sad.

[Pyro7480]

Please define what you think "worship" is.

How is Christ's power linked to Mary?

[Salvation]

See #54

Thanks, Pyro!

[Pyro7480]

You have it backwards. Mary's power is only through and from Christ. "All good things come from above..."

[TomSmedley]

These words seem unbelievable to me. She carried the Christ child. How could anything demonic be connected with that?

Satan NORMALLY masquerades as an angel of light. Or, in the case of Mormonism, as God. Or, in the case of the cult of the BVM, God's mother. (I'm speaking of the cults built around apparitions. Now THERE'S the haunt of demons and weirdness!)

[Salvation]

No it is veneration.

BTW, are you aware of Luther, Zwingli's and Calvin's opinion about the Blessed Virgin Mary?

[Pyro7480]

You don't understand, Salvation. Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin didn't go far enough. ;-)

[biblewonk]

Mary's power is only through and from Christ.

What power?

But the message has been delivered. Christmas has come, and the godly rejoice in their presents, while some folks keep playing with the gift wrapping. Many of us still have Christmas presents from decades ago. The gift wrapping usually goes out with the next day's trash.

Please read about how the Catholic Church approves apparitions. For every one approved, there is probably more than 10 that aren't.

I sincerely hope that you think Mary's dignity isn't the same as "trash."

The gift wrapping usually goes out with the next day's trash.

Are you actually comparing the Mother of God to gift wrapping? May God have mercy on you.

[FourtySeven]

Cool. Thanks.

[TomSmedley]

Like me, Mary is temporal, temporary, bearing God's image, but mortal. Destined for resurrection on the last day. The Romans had the custom of apotheosis, of declaring emporers divine. The Christians were fed to the lions for refusing to accord divine honors to fellow humans.

[Salvation]

True! But many Protestants do not know of their ideas even now.
