Then she could never have called Christ "her Savior". I have more respect for a more earthly gritty Mary, whom God blessed in spite of her lowly sinful position then one who never had any decks stacked aginst her at all. Mary submitted to her Lord and did not question his will(other than an understandable question regarding the "mechanics" of Christ's conception. She is to be lauded less for some traditionalists' rosy portraits of her " sinlessness" and more for HER FAITH! The same FAITH that Abraham was saved by! Mary is indeed a blessed woman above all else, more so because she did not deserve to be!

Personally, I have more respect for the what the Pillar and Ground of Truth teaches us about Mary.

Yet when Zacharias asked a question about "mechanics", he was struck dumb for his trouble. With Mary, clearly the angel Gabriel knew that he was dealing with no lowly, sinful person, but one deserving more respect than the high priest of the temple.
