Ok, folks, put your seat belts on and make sure your seat is in the FULL upright position.
This one is going to blow your socks off.
I listened to Carson's professor at the Fransican University in Stubenville Ohio.
Here is a brief commentary on what he said about Mary being the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. These are DIRECT quotes of what he ACTUALLY said.
"Is Mary, the spouse of the Holy Spirit? Yes in one sense, no in another sense. It is 'metaphorical' not metaphysical. In the Marian dictionary it says Mary is the daughter of the Father and the spouse of the Father, the Mother of Jesus, and the mystical spouse of Jesus. She is the TEMPLE of the Trinity, and the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit. Spouse of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit EQUALLY. Tradition says all 3, we don't have Father, Son and Holy Bachelor. Some have reduced it to just Spouse of the Holy Spirit. St Thomas of Aquianas saw marriage as the closest friendship relationship. But the relationship between Mary and the Trinity is CLOSER than marriage, it is much more intimate. What the Holy Spirit does in ETERNITY, He impowers Mary to do in History. What the Spirit does with the divine nature uniting the Father and the Son, He impowers Mary to do with Jesus' human nature, just as the Spirit bears the Son's Love back to the Father, He impowers Mary to bear Jesus' humanity back to the Father."
I am going to have to say that this is PURE fiction.
None of that is found ANYWHERE in the Bible.
So now, that we see the BIG picture, not only have they taken Mary to the level of adultery by placing her in a position of MARRIAGE to GOD, but now she is also in an incestuous relationship with her own Son.
God Bless
