Mary is called "blessed" three times in the first chapter of Luke (by the angel Gabriel, by Elizabeth and by herself), in fact she is referred to as "blessed" AMONG women and we are told that henceforth ALL generations shall call her "blessed". Assuming you agree that the Bible does say this, I have a few questions: 1. Were Adam and Eve created free from Original Sin? 2. If Mary is "blessed among women" does that mean that she is superior to Eve in all ways? 3. Do you believe and so proclaim that Mary is blessed?

I'm a little busy here at work so I was taking things in smaller pieces.

1: Yes.
2: Not at all.
3: Not by your definition of blessed, no not at all. I believe it fully according to a biblical understanding of the term though.

Can you provide Biblical evidence to support your claim that Mary is not superior to Eve, when Mary is clearly referred to by the archangel Gabriel as "blessed among women," what other meaning could this have?
