I am an ex-Protestant.
As a Methodist, not hatred or disrespect for Mary. We just did not think much on it, except at Christmas. After that, nobody spoke about it.
Fundamentalists believe that Catholicism has put Mary in a level of worship. Of course they are wrong about this, but many are not interested in knowing the truth.
There's a lot of writing backup of the veneration of Mary, if we look at Scripture as a whole. You have to read the Old and New Testament as a book. I understand that the Old and New foreshadows the New is firmly built on the former.
Mary is the New Eve. Such an amazing thing. She is part of NEPAD, therefore. Eva said "no" to God and Mary said "yes." His "yes" opened humanity to salvation through Christ. Very special and deserves a place of honor.

His basic thesis is weak, so the question is not based on fact, not true!
The truth is that all Christian denominations deeply respect Mary, because she had to be beautiful, especially if God chose for all mankind to be the one through which you bring the savior of the world, his only Son Jesus.
That said, Mary is merely human and the Catholic religion exhalts to a place that is equal to Christ, who is not the way to God.
Many mistakes are corrected on Mary, if you read the scriptures of truth.
For example, Mary was a virgin not always to be recorded in the Bible after Jesus was born, who "knew" Joseph and Jesus had more earthly brethren.
As to his Christianity, it is best to start reading your Bible to know the true God and stop dabbling in occult practices to lead you away from Christ.
Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father except through me."

Allen is an excellent example of why non-Catholic Christians look down at the primary level. enarrow world where there is no place for a woman in the church, except a man sitting quitely walk. mary who see Jesus as a threat, and the women they see as a threat to men. tant to understand the concept of feminine divinity. Church tought in some cases thousands of years that women are second or third category.

Sweety, I think it was "very encouraged", and I'm not Catholic. She is the best model for the woman who has lived in second place to Jesus Christ, and for them. Your right of Mary is given a bad rap, and a lack of understanding of their role has had its losses. Men can use a lot of women like her, but unfortunately not the case any paticular group of people, but the containment due to inaccuracies on their role in the affairs. This is the woman, but said, "I know that to me according to your word," and accually charge of the free will of God, believing to get the Christ. I know I never met a woman so incredible in my life.

It is a common mistake among Catholics to think that other non-Catholic Christians have a hatred or disrespect for Mary herself. But that is not generally the case though.
The controversy lies in the doctrine of the RC Church for the devotion to Mary more than God. This is obvious and evident, when the faithful say the rosary and pray to Mary 53 times [!], But to God the Father once at the beginning of it. And once the Trinity. Why so often? And why pray again?
The discussion is prolonged when the Catholics insist - as they have been indoctrinated - that Mary intercedes on behalf of the person of prayer, when in fact the Bible says that one can pray to God directly and not through any other person. And even worse when other people [ "holy"] and to be prayed!
So goes the endless - often heated - debate between the two sides of this issue … ad nauseum.
Peace be with you.

Mary was chosen to be the earthly mother of Jesus because of his lineage and character was acceptable.
She did not have their own sanctity, nor was she any kind of God.
Therefore, it is not worthy of worship.
Only one true God Jehovah is worthy of it.
While appreciating the true Christians of Mary, is only a part.
It was just a good woman who followed God's truth to the extent of its capacity and was chosen to be the mother of the Messiah.
True Christians also noted the association with "the cult of Mary 'to false pagan religions of the time.
Therefore, whether we pray or worship of Mary, in fact, following the teachings of demons.

I am a Christian woman. I am not threatened by Mary. The Bible says she was a woman blessed. Nothing more on the lines of the deity. Mary is dead, like everything else in the Bible, except Jesus. Why pray to her? It is the practice of necromancy. The Bible says that nobody can come to the Father except through the Son, Jesus Christ. Not going to the Father through Jesus and his mother Mary and some of Earthly Saints. Mary was an impressive example of a servant of God. Is an example. Is dead and in heaven. Pray to Jesus. You are the Father if you believe in Jesus Christ.

Christians do not hate Mary, denouncing the Roman Catholic Church doctrines which raise about godhood.
There are documents approved by the Vatican, which state that will save the world, she is Queen of Heaven, Jesus can not refuse any request made of him, who was born without sin, and so on.
Pure blasphemy.
We honor Mary as the physical mother of Jesus, but we also understand that he was a sinner as the rest of us, and that she needed a savior as much as any other sinner.
Scripture says that God is no respecter of persons, which means that if you, Moses, Peter, John, Mary and Noah stood before Him, He does not show favoritism. That would be all alike.
And as for "saints," all believers who have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord are "saints" and none of them will take place over another.
As a pagan "god", we are told by God not have other gods (or goddesses) in our lives, so in obedience to his commandments, we reject anyone or anything portrays himself as a " ; god or goddess. "
I hope this answers your questions?

O Mary veneration in the church ceiling is idolatry.
Mary was a great woman of the Bible. Admire everything she wants. pray with her and her religion? never.

I would ask that the same type of Christian is my mom, who is not afraid to open their minds a little … So I respect that. As to why some Christian denominations apparently show respect for Mary, I do not know, but I'm sure some will answer.
