Lively Stone clearly you are off track. the RC do not elevate Mary above Christ at all it's no were close to it in truth. but she does have a position and Satan will use ever opportunity to brush her out of the way.
Without Mary there would be no Christ as the Bible does explain why she said YES!
Sadly you are reading with worldly eyes not in the Spirit.
Satan has a hard time trying to destroy the truth of Christ and one of them is Mary that he has to destroy. then he can go about leading you astray with who Jesus Christ truly is.
Satan is a thief he will rob you with a bit of a diddle hear and a bit of a diddle their until you have lost track of the true foundations, there by setting you up for a lie.
I did not know who Mary really was when i was a protestant just like you i would grumble about ranting and raving about the RC nonsense until i looked deeply into what they were truly saying. then i cast aside all the stupid prejudice rubbish i had been lead to believe by poor deluded fools.
Mary took up the challenge against that bastard Satan. Hail Mary ! She is a Mother of all true Christians, praise the Lord !
I am not off track. When people pray to Mary and expect her to intercede, they are speaking over Jesus' head. It is a form of idolatry, superimposing someone or something over Him in the place He alone occupies. I am seeing this with spiritual eyes, and it is clear that Satan is obfuscating Jesus' place by causing men to laud Mary over and above what is right. Seems he is quite successful in this particular 'diddle'.
She is not my mother. She was Jesus' earthly mother. I praise God for her willingness and gracious spirit to be used by God for such a monumental task! However, I will not pray to her, as she is my sister in Christ, a woman who needed a Saviour as much as I did.
