I wasn't trying to refute the fact that Christians in a state of grace being a temple of God, as I thought I made clear in my original post.
I was merely showing that there is a difference, between Christians and Christ being a Temple of God, Christians and Mary being a Temple of God and yes, also Mary and Christ being a Temple of God.
The way you structured it and called it an objection and how you tried to refute the other objections you listed made it seem like were trying to refute it.
The Two Blood types are AB and O, none of which belong to the visionary of Akita, and so cannot be a hoax,
Who is the visionary of Akita? From what I've read it is chapel where nuns live so it still has the possiblity of being a hoax.
and even if it was, fetal microchemerism is still an established scientific fact Mary had Jesus blood with Jesus' DNA in her, her entire life, which is eternal, but that's a whole other topic for another time. We know that AB is Jesus' blood type, as it is the same blood type that appears in all the Church-approved bleeding Host Miracles, and in the shroud of Turin, O is presumably Mary's blood type.
I'm skeptical of those miracles and the shroud of Turin, but that's a different topic.
Also you imply that because Mary no longer has Jesus in her womb, she must not be the special anymore.
I never implied that. I simply said Mary no longer has Jesus in her womb. I don't know how you got that from what I said.
This and the whole Protestant view that Mary's only purpose is to carry Jesus in her womb and after that she isn't important anymore,
I don't think I've heard any protestant say that was Mary's only purpose.
It may be some protestants view but it is not the whole protestant view as you claim.
brings forth a rotten fruit in Protestantism, I won't say what it is, unless you press me but it's a rotten fruit that greatly effects the Western World today.
What is the rotten fruit of protestantism?
Really? I haven't seen any reference among the early Church Fathers that the Woman in Revelations 12 is Israel, unless you mean the New Israel.
No I mean Isreal. The sun, moon, and twelve stars are a clear reference to the Joseph's dream in Genesis 37:9. The eleven stars being Joseph's eleven brothers which make up eleven tribes of Isreal, Joseph being the twelfth tribe so he is the twelfth star in Revelation.
Also the Old Testament refers to Isreal as giving birth.
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord. Isaiah 26:17
Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. Micah 4:9-10
Most of the early Church Fathers, interpret the Woman in Revelations 12 is the Catholic Church, not because they didn't believe that the Woman was Mary but because being the Woman Revelation 12 was OBVIOUS to them and everyone back than knew,
Most, meaning not all, meaning if it was obvious all of the early church fathers would have interpreted the woman in Revelation 12 as the Catholic church.
after all shouldn't you be taking the Bible more literally then us Catholics.
I don't see why I should. Catholics seem to take things more literally than protestants. They think Jesus is speaking literally when talking about the bread and wine being His body and blood, and that the woman of Revelation is a literal woman.
As Garcia Singh pointed out earlier that Mary was special (In fact, apart form her Son, no one ever has or ever will be special).
Special is subjective. A lot of people would disagree that Jesus and Mary were the only special ones. Maybe not special in the same ways or the same level but still special.
The Church decided to dig deeper and try to figure out what Mary symbolized in Revelation 12, and they came to conclusion that Mary symbolized her daughter; the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!
Wait, this makes no sense. If the woman in Revelation 12 is the Catholic church and Mary is her daughter
then Mary can't be the woman of Revelation.
And where is this daughter you speak of mentioned in Revelation?
This reinforces devotion to Mary since we can draw from the Church Fathers that as many have before me, that in order to truly love God we must imitate Our Blessed Mother.
This is not true, you can truly love God without imatating another human. This is similar to some who claim you are not really saved unless you speak in tounges.
In the binding of Isaac, throughout most of that episode Isaac does clearly foreshadow Christ, carrying his wood up the mountain, as Christ carried His cross. But at the top of the mountain, all of sudden we see a Ram caught in bramble thorns which is sacrificed instead, this Ram, clearly foreshadowed Christ the King crowned with thorns being sacrificed on the Cross, so there is jumping back and forth on in the Binding of Isaac, Isaac does not stay consistently a type of Christ (By the way, Abraham is a foreshadowing of Our Lady of Sorrows, but that's another topic another time).
Jesus is called the Lamb of God not the Ram of God. Abraham and Issac thought that God would provide a lamb (Genesis 22:7-8) but God provided ram instead when He could have easily provided a lamb.
Here are some parallels Between Issac and Jesus:
Both had a miraculous conception
The father leads his son to be sacrificed
Both accompanied by two men
They leave their “homeland” to go to the place of sacrifice (Abraham & Isaac travel to the mountain, Jesus leaves heaven to come to earth).
Each son is the “one and only son” of his father.
Both sons are descendants of Abraham.
The son carried the wood/cross to the place of sacrifice.
Both had a 3-day experience
As you can see no jumping from person to person. No being Issac but then quoting Abraham, the servants or anyone else. No conveniently changing person to suit the narrative.
Also there is significant and symbolic pattern in the jumping and forth in the Visitation which I'll get to later if I have the time, I've gotta go now.
I would really like to know what the significant and symbolic pattern is.
