I am searching for the Biblical authority where I can find the justification for Mary's elevation on par with and sometimes(I find)higher importance to that of Jesus Christ in the gospel of the Lord....invoking her attention above that of Christ's for intervention in worldly matters.
If we all are subject to atonement through Christ's crucifiction and resurrection...then what is Mary's relevance? Why spend one second praying to her? Is this not idol worship to pray to anyone but the Trinity of the Godhead?

And I see where man and worldy councils have ordained Mary in different positions and titles of high regard. What do men know? Do we take our instruction from men or God? Why is she a queen? And who says so? Did God call her that? I want to read what God said, not men. Where does the Bible elevate her, other than to say she was blessed among women...(because of her bringing Jesus into the world.)...which I might add points to whom we should attend. Don't get me wrong, I see honor was bestowed upon her by being chosen of God ....but she was not made God. Was she? The attention devoted to her subtracts from the attention given to God, Christ, and Holy Spirit ....which we read is God's number one concern/complaint/anger with the Isrealites.
