    What's so Great About Mary?

    I get really tired of hearing catlicks talk about how awesome the mother of Jesus is. As a former papist, I've done my share of hail Marys and Hail Holy Queens. Once Jesus showed me the truth, I of course abandoned all that. But look at all the titles they give to her:

    Really? REALLY? She agreed to carry the Baby Jesus, she gave birth to our Precious Lord, and thereby fulfilled her purpose. Now she just needs to get out to the kitchen and feed her family instead of trying to be so important.
    Proverbs 21:31 KJV 1611:
    “The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the Lord.”

    Lord, may I serve my equine brothers and sisters just as I do my fellow man.
    Amen and Amen

    That's the only valid name for her. As you say, she was nothing but a vessel to carry God's seed. Anyone, other than a child murderer, would have done.

    I think the most amazing part of it, is that there was a virgin in the middle east over the age of 10! That's probably worth celebrating if you were an Arab or a Joo, but for Christians, it's to be expected. But Arabs and Joos hate Jesus (and therefore His mother).

    An afterthought - the cathlicks also regard it as a miracle because there probably are no virgin 10 year olds (boys or girls) in the cathlick church, once the priests are done with them.

      Mary was blessed among women. Luke 1:42 That doesn't mean it's OK to pray to her.

        No doubt she would be the only virgin in these places.

        Right? A teenaged girl gets knocked up and we're supposed to think she's something special?

        Give me a break.
        Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

          Precisely. The only important bit of this story is about Jesus being born and God choosing Mary to be the womb which will carry the fetus. Mary was just like a surrogate mother; the real parent of Jesus is God.

          God could have chosen any woman to be that womb; He decided to chose a girl who was already married (Matthew 1:18), but He didn't do it thinking of Mary but of her husband, Joseph, who was a direct descendand of king David (Matthew 1:1-16). Even though Joseph was not Jesus' biological father, he was the connection that made Jesus the direct descendant of king David (Matthew 1: 16). God truly works in misterious ways!

          Praise !
          God created fossils to test our faith.

            Even Romanist sources admit that "Star of the Sea" is spurious.

            From the death-cookie-munchers' own encyclopedia:
            Here a word has to be added concerning the explanation stella maris, star of the sea. It is more popular than any other interpretation of the name Mary, and is dated back to St. Jerome (De nomin. hebraic., de Exod., de Matth., P.L., XXIII, col, 789, 842). But the great Doctor of the Church knew Hebrew too well to translate the first syllable of the name miryam by star; in Isaiah 40:15, he renders the word mar by stilla (drop), not stella (star). A Bamberg manuscript dating from the end of the ninth century reads stilla maris instead of stella maris. Since Varro, Quintillian, and Aulus Gelliius testify that the Latin peasantry often substituted an e for an i, reading vea for via, vella for villa, speca for spica, etc., the substitution of maris stella for maris stilla is easily explained. Neither an appeal to the Egyptian Minur-juma (cf. Zeitschr. f. kathol. Theol., IV, 1880, p. 389) nor the suggestion that St. Jerome may have regarded miryam as a contracted form of me'or yam (cf. Schegg, Jacobus der Bruder des Herrn, Munchen, 1882, p. 56 Anm.) will account for his supposed interpretation stella maris (star of the sea) instead of stilla maris (a drop of the sea).
            Oops.

              Mary cannot hear our prayers. There is only "one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). We True Christians™ are Jesus' brother, sister and mother (Mark 3:35).

                  Brother, the sex-craved Mexican Mary worshipers certainly have some... unorthodox ways of honoring people they supposedly care about.
