However, she was accorded a singular grace not given to others and hailed by an angel with an appelation not applied to anyone before or since. She has a special place among us as the first to follow Christ.
Singular grace given by whom? Certainly not the scriptures. Which angel, when and where is it written? If "tradition" gave us the Bible, then you would think the council of men in the church would have put something in about that so it would have credibility. 
See post #382. Rutles4Ever did a terrific job and there's no reason to redo it. You are very ignorant of Scripture to assert that Mary was not "full of Grace" as hailed by the Angel Gabriel.
If "tradition" gave us the Bible, then you would think the council of men in the church would have put something in about that so it would have credibility.
Why are you on this thread? It's clear that you are unable to comprehend the written language. NOWHERE in this article nor in a post thereafter has anyone asserted that the Scriptures are anything but God's own words inspired through men. Tradition (through the inspiration of the same Spirit of God Who wrote the Scriptures) identified the books, codified the canon and has preserved it to this day.
