I doubt the validity of your information.
But you are unable to answer my questions. You cannot validate the post reformist invention. You have not stated your definition of grace as accepted by most "Bible-Christians", a definition that supports Mary's sinlessness (another avoidance). I have to do it for you. It's not doubt, it's blindness.
Indeed, scripture never teaches that Mary was sinless.
Not explicitly, but scripture is not explicit on the number of books in the New Testament, given to us by the Church you despise.
Indeed Mary saw her Son as her Savior.
I don't dispute this. Rejoicing in her savior is a declaration of her salvation. What is disputed is when this occurred. If you look at Luke 1:46-55, admission of sin does not make sense. It does not fit the verses.
[SUP]
46 [/SUP]And Mary said:“My soul magnifies the Lord,
[SUP]
47 [/SUP]And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
[SUP]
48 [/SUP]For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
[SUP]
49 [/SUP]For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy
is His name.
[SUP]
50 [/SUP]And His mercy
is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
[SUP]
51 [/SUP]He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
[SUP]
52 [/SUP]He has put down the mighty from
their thrones,
And exalted
the lowly.
[SUP]
53 [/SUP]He has filled
the hungry with good things,
And
the rich He has sent away empty.
[SUP]
54 [/SUP]He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of
His mercy,
[SUP]
55 [/SUP]As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”
[SUP]
56 [/SUP]And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.
(2 Sam. 6:11 and 1 Chron. 13:14 - Mary / the Ark remained in the house for about three months, but I digress)
So, we know that scripture says that Mary was saved, but when?
Luke 1:28 [SUP] [/SUP]And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored
one, the Lord
is with you; blessed
are you among women!”
Does the angel say "...the Lord IS with you..." or does the angel say "POOF!, the Lord is now with you"??? Remember, she had not yet Conceived. Do you think she accepted Jesus as her personal savior in the synagogue before He was born???
It is only the traditions of Rome
that endeavor to elevate Mary
to the status of demi-god.
If you will not accept scripture then there is no basis upon which we can reason together.
I accept scripture, I don't accept deified opinions and absolute literalism, I don't accept hate speech "for the cause of Christ" so it's not me that cannot be reasoned with.
