The angel came to ANNOUNCE to Mary that she would be the mother of the Savior.. He never asked her if she would..
She was ordained by God to be the mother of His Son ..
It was essential that the mother have the proper genealogy to fulfill the OT prophecy , it was essential she be a virgin ...it was essential that she be engaged to a man with the proper genealogy ..
But here is the part that trips up the Romanists when they insists that Mary could have said no... their own "doctrine"...would God revoke her "immaculate conception"?? what would he do..dump sin on her?? And then who would He find to be the mother? Were there other choices of "immaculate conceptions " out there or would he have to start from scratch and wait another generation... OHHH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE...
God never asked Zachariah and Elizabeth’s permission to give them John.
The angel told them how it was going to be and how they were to raise him.
They had no choice.
What Catholics fail to grasp is that God has the RIGHT to do with men as He sees fit.
After all, HE is the Creator and that alone gives Him the inherent right to do as He pleases.
