Translation: That Catholic girl just beat the snot out of me and I have no good response.

Show some humility and admit you are wrong. There is no shame in that.

Now watch:

consider making your point using scripture and people might believe you they don't really care what the Catholic Church preaches.

How many times does it have to be said to people like you who just cannot get it through their thick head that these beliefs are the beliefs of all Christians, Orthodox, Anglicans, Catholic, everybody except your tiny slice of protestantism. We don't have to prove anything to you, you have to prove to us why all of Christianity has been wrong for 2,000 years, and you're dopey half-baked interpretation is correct.

January 1st: Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

On this holy feast day, we take a moment as we start our new year to honor our Blessed Mother, who in her “yes” to God brought our Savior into the world to redeem us.

Jesus says on the cross, “Behold your Mother.” As we all jump into the frenzy of the new year and start attempting to bring our resolutions to fruition, let us call on the aid of our Mother Mary to give us the strength to draw closer to her Son every day this year.





MORE NICE TWEETS
 
ALL Christians know that Mary is the mother of God. Classicaly, to "mother" is to bear, and to "father" is to originate. So Mary bore Jesus, divine and human, in her womb, and is rightly called Mother of God, or "God bearer" (Theotokos). She did not originate God, she bore him in her womb.

Remember what Elizabeth said: "And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?" (Luke 1:43). Who was the Lord to the Jews? God was.

Exactly correct

The question then, would be whether @Idolater would agree if it is idolatrous.

If anybody set aside Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit and only focused on Mary, then that would be different, but nobody does that, and if anybody did do that, they wouldn't be good Catholics. Our veneration of Mary is always always always in the context of the Trinity. There's a very fine line between Who is God and who is not. She is the God bearer, and the only one. So that makes her special among all mortals, even among the Apostles and Prophets and John the Baptist, but she is still just a mortal.

What does it look like to "set aside"? Does it mean that "hail Mary" is more often expressed, as often expressed, or just a little less often expressed than "Our Father...hallowed be thy name"?

What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that we treat someone who isnt God almost like God?

"Mortal" meaning that she would die of her sins without Christ's atoning sacrifice?

No Mary is not the mother of God ... God has no mother or father he exists/has existed eternally. The same is true for The WORD for he was with God and was God as God's living spoken voice.

BUT things were different for the promised Messiah manifested in flesh. God did enter into man's realm of flesh through the human doorway called a mother. God the Savior had a mother who birthed him into this created world and into flesh. Lord Jesus who was God the Savior came born of a virgin who was Mary and his father was the Spirit of God.

The womb of Woman was the doorway God established for his children to enter this world and Jesus came by that door. It was the first time any human being had ever seen God as the begotten son of God in flesh. John 1:18 Men had seen God the Father but never before seen God the Messiah in flesh. It was John the Baptist who declared his identity to the people of his day.

Yes, Lord Jesus was God ... but he was also a new being ... God designed with the ability to be the savior of humanity.
