Why do other Christian religions besides the Catholic Church only let Mary in on Christmas when Jesus?

Yes, especially considering that the Bible says all generations will call her blessed. I guess that means all generations of Catholics. Then again, Jesus never intended that there would be any Christians other than Catholics.

Mary was the vehicle God used through whom Jesus was born.

She was not a God, she was not Co-Redemptrix.

Mary was a woman-most-blessed. Protestants revere her in that role.

But had Jesus chosen a Greyhound Bus by which to arrive, we would not be worshipping at the Greyhound terminal.

With all due respect to Mother Mary, her role in the Gospel accounts is minimalist.

Catholics seem to want to honor the created more than the Creator.

The Catholics made a huge error in the label "mother of god"

Rolling Stone & Bobby Jim haved it right

Mary herself recognized Jesus as her Savior, ergo, she is not Mother of God !!!!

Of course she is Blessed because of her role, to be the mother of Jesus

Words have meaning, not double meanings....else we would never have clarity.

Catholics have been praying to a dead woman with the idea she goes before Jesus with their prayers and that Jesus will do her bidding. Such is blatant heresy just on simple logic.....She would have to be the Omnipotent God to hear and discern the billions of daily prayers. Such is impossible to a mere human, be they on earth or in heaven.

To imply by refusing Mary the titles and position most Catholics purport , that in doing so is refusing Jesus Christ, is utter heresy, which may lead a person away from the saving truth of Salvation Grace through faith in Jesus alone.

Better to make Jesus Lord of all, and not even place anyone or anything near the one mediator between God and man, ....the Lord Jesus Christ.

g'day

the spirit of jesus should be always with us.. Mary has God's son in a physical way and she is called Mother of God of his humanity.. Our Lord Jesus christ is full man and God.. evangelicals divide jesus in two natures.. that's the reason they can't accept mary was mother of the humanity of God... protestants avoid mary because they think they will sound catholic.. but we don't worship mary.. mary has a special place because she was blessed according to Luke.. the generations we call me the blessed.. Mary herself saw her future.

Because it's only Catholics who treat Mary like a fourth god. The other three are God the Father, God the Son, and something called God the Holy Ghost. And Mary makes four.

We do not disrespect Mary, but neither do we treat her as Jesus's equal. Christmas is Jesus' birthday, in how many birthdays is the mother congratulated? Mary is NOT the mother of God, she was the vessel of and caretaker for the human baby, Jesus, who was God in human body.

Apparently Mary has become a discarded widow. The doctrine of Immaculate Conception - the doctrine that allowed Mary to give birth to the Son of God - no longer applies. For evidence, you can visit this question I have asked several times: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgHhL...

Several Christians stated she was a sinner just like anybody. It is just one more instance of inconsistency in this completely problematic mythology.

Let Mary in... shes outside getting cold and hungry.

Mary is not looked upon as being of Great importance when compared to Jesus. The 12 apostles are regarded as being more important compared to Mary.

Are you saying that denominations like Protestant or Evangelical or Baptist don't include Mary very much into the christmas story? We do! However, we don't worship her, we are aware of her humbleness and her faith. It's probably the first christmas sermon you'll hear is about mary and how humble she was.

Who's refusing her?

She isn't refused, she just isn't considered as being holy, She can't hear and answer prayer.. She was human...a very good and blessed person but she was human. She needs God to forgive her just like we do.
