And protestants twist exegetical knots to avoid literal translations, for no better reason than they know the literal supports Catholicism.
I didn't raise the name Mary - we were talking about the word "woman" the word used in revelations and at Cana.
Its a fact that OT shows that the mother not spouse of a davidic king was called queen - also that Jesus frequently uses OT references because he knew first century Jews looked for meaning there. That's why he rode a donkey, to associate Himself with Solomon, also that kings rode donkeys when they came in the name of peace.
Get over it!. We see the mother of davidic kings named because they held special status. Far from distancing Himself from that, Jesus associated himself with it. But It's just an honorary title.
Why is it protestants like to demean "kechairatomene ", the one who the angel addresses as "full of grace" or rather "completed in grace" the one promised that "the lord is with you" the one "blessed amongst women", the one elizabeth was honoured to be visited by as "mother of my lord", the ever virgin? Catholics cannot build her up any more than God already has!
And you still havent addressed a fundamental issue : matthew 11:25
These exegetical cart wheels turned by protestants to avoid the obvious literal meanings may work for "wise men" looking for legalistic loopholes to avoid the obvious , they dont work for children! Judaea or the 12 tribes of israel are too far fetched. Sure there may be an allusion to who her "offspring" are. But that doesnt explain the woman.
The literal meanings.
-That Mary is the woman of revelations 12 - the ark of the new covenant - the one with a child destined to rule with a rod of Iron, whom the devil tried to destroy
- That it really was Peter given keys of an office, on which Jesus built his church
- That it really is Jesus' flesh and blood in the eucharist.
All these are the literal meanings - to propose other things not involves twisting words, but also avoiding the obvious and literal.
So if I ask a child who knows the nativity, who the woman of revelations is, they will say Mary. I tried it once!
Protestant cart wheels try to avoid the obvious
So from my point of view too:"I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."
No where in the Bible is Mary called a queen of any sort, Davidic or otherwise. Much of your understanding comes from the extrabiblical theology developed by the RCC to glorify Mary.
As you know there are many Marys in the Bible, not just Cana. In fact, the sister of Moses, Miriam, is the first use of that name. Mary and Miriam are the same name in Hebrew. This fact created a problem for Mohammed who assumed that the mother of Jesus Christ was also the sister of Moses. We might think this is absurd but the Holy Q'ran presents it as the absolute truth of Allah.
