Hi Nathan,

 

Every Christian believer who shares the Gospel is sharing in God's plan for redemption.  Christ came and died on the cross as our Redeemer.  And, before He died on the cross, He gave the Great Commission, that we should, "Go, Make disciples, Baptize them, Teach them. . .  be His witnesses in all the world"  (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15).

 

So, according to your logic -- I am a Co-Redeemer.  And, every Christian who shares the Gospel is a Co-Redeemer!  Wow!

 

But, doesn't that cheapen Him as our true REDEEMER?  Isn't that rather like spitting on Him again; as we try to steal His thunder?

 

No, my Friend, I am not CO-anything with Jesus Christ -- and neither is Mary, nor any other mortal human.  We are all His very fortunate sheep, His followers.   That is what it means to be a Christian -- a Christ Follower, nothing more, nothing less. 

 

And, Mary is just a very blessed woman who is waiting in heaven right now, along with billions of other believers -- for the Rapture, when all of us will receive our immortal, glorified bodies.

 

If you are going to worship Mary for being part of His birth; you might as well worship the inn keeper for allowing them to use his stable; you might as well worship the shepherds in the fields for celebrating His birth; you might as well celebrate the Wise Men who came to worship Him; you might as well worship Herod who wanted to kill Him.  All of these folks, in one way or another, were chosen by God to be a part of His redemption story.

 

You tell me, "And something doesn't have to be in the bible to be true.  God isn't bound by a book."

 

But, if it is not in the Bible -- it is not inspired by God.  Do we go to "War and Peace" looking for spiritual guidance?  Do we go to Shakespeare looking for doctrinal and theological guidance?

 

Of course not!   For spiritual guidance, for theological guidance --  WE GO TO THE BIBLE, God's full revelation to man for salvation and spiritual guidance in our daily Christian lives.

 

My Friend, you may run from God's Written Word -- but, in the end, you will be judged by His Written Word and how it changed your life, for better or worse.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
