Jesus was man and God. As man he became like the rest of us and voluntarily assumed a role beneath God. How he was man and God at the same time we don't understand. Concerning Mary and the saints, catholics do pray to them as intercessors between them and God. Christians also ask one another to pray for them in the same way. By the way, Mary was no more a daughter of God than any other believing woman and no I know christian is worried about incest between her and the Holy Spirit. I must admit that's the first time I heard that one.
What kind of words do think we should hear spoken of Jesus in prophesy? If the prophet doesn't use his proper name does that mean he's not prophesying about him? I'm just going to post this link in that regard:

The trinity is spoken of numerous times in scripture. The father is called God, the Holy Spirit is called God and Jesus is called God and the Bible proclaims one God. Now you can say many things about the authors of the bible, but they were not stupid enough to blatantly contradict themselves. It wouldn't have sold well.
You said that my statement about my belief coming from personal revelation from God is akin to saying I just "feel' it. Not true. My faith is based on solid revelation. I've also researched and considered alternatives, such as three and a half years in this forum. I've deliberately opened myself to all the questions. It's not simply a feeling.
