Do you think Jesus entered the world through a sinful Mary-the very Tabernacle that our Lord dwelt in?

Do you think you are equal to Mary?

Your Bible tells you that God will not Join Himself with anything defiled.

Jesus was fully joined with Mary in Her womb.
Do you believe that womb was stained by sin?

Pray before you answer,Dear friend.

As the Psalmist said, “I was conceived in iniquity.” That holds true for all of us in Adam. If Mary had been sinless, there would have been no need for Christ to die on our behalf. Mary could have fulfilled the mission herself! The Spirit of God takes us residence in the hearts of those who believe in Christ today. The Bible says except the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are not His. He enters the sinful hearts of those who accept Him. He then sanctifies what He enters. There is no biblical evidence that Mary was any less than a sinner in need of a Savior, as with us all. Mary found favor with God indeed and was surely blessed, yet not without sin.
