>>What do you call the mother of a king? A queen.<<

No, the wife of a king is the queen. The only time his mother is also queen is if his father was king before him.

>>I knew you would fail to show ANY demonstrable connection between the Virgin Mary and pagan stories. You’ll keep failing too.<<

The only reference to the “queen of heaven” in scripture is pagan. The only women who were designated queen in scripture were if their husband was king. God the Father calls Israel His wife and Jesus bride is the church. The idea of the “queen of heaven” concept is a human construct of pagans and Catholics.

-—No, the wife of a king is the queen.—

Bathsheba, King David’s wife, the Queen of the House of David, bowed to the King.

David’s son, King Solomon, bowed to the same woman, Bathsheba, his mother. The Queen Mother sat at the King’s right hand.

It’s in your abridged Bible:

1 Kings 1:15-16

So Bathsheba went to see the aged king (David) in his room, where Abishag the Shunammite was attending him.

Bathsheba bowed low and knelt before the king.

1 Kings 2:19

When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king’s mother, and she sat down at his right hand.

Jesus is the King of the eternal House of David.

Revelation 3:7

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words
of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. ...

Mary is Jesus’ Mother, the Queen Mother of the eternal House of David.

Revelation 12:1

A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. ...

She’s still a queen.

“The only reference to the “queen of heaven” in scripture is pagan. The only women who were designated queen in scripture were if their husband was king.”

So, what do you call a woman who is overshadowed by the Holy Spirit?

Nope. You have failed - as always - to even remotely make a case for that. You’ll continue to fail too. Same old, same old.
