But why should she be held in higher respect than any other woman?
David, sorry I did not clarify, I meant the respect we show to "heroes" of Scripture, I could say the same for Moses! I say I hold her in respect so as not to have doors closed on dealing with the Biblical Mary, who does deserve respect (not worship) would you agree as far as that goes Brother?
