You deny the Mary of Scripture her proper place in salvation history



LG:  And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. (Acts 6:8) esv
Stephen was called full of grace, which, in Greek, is Plaras Charitos. Full of grace is the correct translation
Look it up yourself
De Maria:

1. According to the BLB, it says "pleres pistes" Full of faith.

2. Anyway, charitos is NOT the same word. Kecharitomene means EVER full of grace. Or ALWAYS full of grace. Charitos simply means "grace".


That is not what I said. What I said is this:
The word Lord was used, not God.
Why didn't she say "mother of my God"? hmmmm
Because Lord means God to the Jews. As it does to us, actually.

John 20:28

King James Version (KJV)

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.


If Elizabeth meant God she would have said God. She did not.
She meant God as is evident from the context. 
1. The Spirit inspired her. The Holy Spirit does not inspire error.
2. She would not consider her nephew her Lord in any other respect.
3. Jesus is God from the womb. 

Nothing ever in scripture tells us to pray to Mary. Sorry
I have already explained why you should. Your simple denial carries little weight.

It does say he was full of grace in the greek. Your problem is that you misunderstand kecharitomene.
Your problem is that you follow the traditions of men.

I would note she was blessed ABOVE...Mary was only blessed AMONG
Since no other woman was elected to bear the Son of God, it is abundantly clear that she was blessed not only above all women, but above all men except her only Son.

Actually, I defend the biblical Mary, the humble handmaiden of the Lord, against the monstrosity the RCC has made her into.
On the contrary, you deny the Mary of Scripture her proper place in salvation history and in so doing slap the face of her Creator.

Sincerely,

De Maria

    Desperate words that usually come from someone backed into a corner. Looks like someone needs to do their historical research on the Bible, as any good historian will tell you, the word "Lord" is the same as God when it is capitalized and used in conjunction with Jesus Christ.

    God Bless and thanks for defending the One, True, Holy and Apostolic Church.
