I've go a pretty good hunch that these will be ignored, minimized, and explained away by many; but there are, perhaps, lurkers, who can read Scripture with unclouded eyes and get the gist of it: for them I write.

That's a pretty wild statement...We have never ignored those scriptures or any others...And they have never been explained away...They have been cross-referenced with other scriptures to the full meaning comes to light...Which is never in favor of the catholic religion...

That's the Catholic tactic...Read little parts of verses ignoring the whole to get the gist of what the Catholic religion is trying to deceive you with...

Hopefully the lurkers will read the entire verse and the surrounding context and see that these scriptures have nothing to do with the Catholic religion...

"That's a pretty wild statement...We have never ignored those scriptures or any others.."

Now, that's a wild statement!

You don't acknowledge Mary as the woman prophesied in Genesis 3:15, she whose offspring (Jesus)would crush the Serpent; you don't call Mary "Blessed" although she prophesied that all generations would do so; and you don't regard yourself as her spiritual offspring (as in Revelation 12:17) in the ongoing cosmic battle against the Serpent --- that selfsame Serpent who started the whole ball of sin and death rolling in Genesis 3.

It seems you have ignored her from Genesis to Revelation. It's Catholic/Orthodox wisdom which has "cross-referenced with other scriptures so the full meaning comes to light..." --- which is so far from your usual way of thinking about Scripture, you seem boggled by it. And that's unfortunate. But it could be helped if you'd look for the Big Picture.
