Why don't protestants love Mary?

Shouldn't this be in the Mary section...?

Good point Emily, but in reality, it's not about Mary, but about non-Catholics who don't love Mary.
So I think it could stay here.
The focus isn't on Mary, but on the lack of Protestant love for her.

Well...I've already said all I've wanted to in the other Mary threads.

I have notice many Protestants have a real distaste for anything Mary. They feel it takes away from Jesus.
Which is quite strange. They can't seem to understand that love for Mary never takes away from Jesus, in fact it brings one closer as Jesus loves His mother, one of His dying thoughts was of us and His Blessed Mother, as He gave His mother to us. "Son behold, Your Mother"
If one is to be Christ-like we must love and respect His mother as He did.

Anybody "but" The Mother of Jesus Christ is okay to talk about and use as example. |

The main problem is that Catholics believe that she was sinless and that is an abomination before God. |

Do you have a scripture to prove that to believe that a human being is sinless is an abomination before God? Adam and Eve were sinless. So was Jesus. |

Gabriel said she was highly favored among women. That's ordinary honor? It says highly favored among women not above all women. I don't think I said "above". You focus on the "among" (on her human relation to other women). I focus on the "highly favoured" by God (her relationship to God). It's not her relation to other women that makes her special, but how God sees her that makes her special. If she wasn't anymore special than any other women, there'd be no need to mention that she was highly favored by God among other women. So there is a reason that The Archangel of God Gabriel praised her as such. Besides, if the woman that God chose to give birth to Jesus Christ isn't special, what does that say about her fruit since the fruit reflects the tree that produces it? ;D |

If Mary hadn't wanted to be the mother of Jesus God would have found another woman to do so. By the way... God could have created Jesus the way he did Adam, he didn't even have to have him born of a woman. |

You are just redicules if you think that Mary was just some random women, when she was clearly , highly favored among women.

"If"? "could have"? Is that what you're left with now in belittling Jesus' mother? Hypotheticals?  |

I don't feel right hearing just the name Mary. I always call her The Blessed Mother. "All generations will call me blessed".
I feel others call her as if she's just the girl next door.

I wonder what those that don't believe in The Blessed Mother as most Christians have for thousands of years are going to do when they face her in heaven? |
