Yes, by the law. If you are going accuse someone of sin then doesn't the scriptures tell you that whosoever commits sin also transgresses the law, for sin is transgression of the law. So therefore what law do you accuse her of transgressing, being a corrupt tree bearing good fruit? [See 1 Thess 5:21]
But then again, isn't it written in scripture that the carnal mind is not subject to the law of truth, neither can it be because it is at enmity with the LORD.
Kinda calling the kettle black here aren't we?
Jesus said we are more blessed having not seen....yet all of us were sinners before we were born again .....wait....we still are sinners but saved by grace. But in God's eyes it's if we had never sinned.
Christ is my righteousness.
God spoke very highly of job too. Where does he fit in the equation.
John says that if one says they have no sin they are a liar. God says all have sinned. He also said that there is no good thing in the flesh.
What you all miss is this.... There had to be a perfect sacrifice in order for sin to be forgiven and forgotten. God would not make a exception as Jesus demostrates in the garden prayer. He prayed "If there is any other way" let this cup pass from me but your will not mine be done.
Jesus was not conceived in sin but by the Holy Spirit. It's all about Jesus not Mary.
Mary needed all the grace that the Lord would provide for what she had to endure. Not only the horrible death of her son but looked down upon by the religious leaders. The whole community in fact. Possibly a single parent latter on as no mention of Joseph is given in the text. The understanding of who her son was and is blurred by her religious up bringing.
Yet she surrendered to the will of God knowing all of this with a happy heart. These are the examples of what we should take away and put in our minds and hearts from the text. Not re create the event of a made sinless Mary for this is the only way Christ could be born sinless.
In my opinion that is why the storys of the Lord's parents are short and his child hood is really not known as to bring little to no focus on the players but rather the gift that God has given us.
Such as the case with Moses body and the dispute. We have a tendency to glorify the creation more than the Creator.
