The only creature ever addressed as
FULL OF GRACE!

If something is full, there is no room for anything else; a soul full of grace has no room for even original sin you see.

God is specific about many things. In the Old Testament, we can see all the details as to the Ark of the Covenant which carried manna and the Torah and commandments. Well Our Lady, Mary, carried the very Son of God!
Do we suppose that God is less careful in the womb that would bear the Incarnate Word?

COULD God make Mary sinless from the first moment of her conception?

Would it seem fitting for Him to do so?

Then it is not a stretch to believe that this is exactly what He did!

Acts 6:8 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

Now Stephen, full of grace (divine blessing and favor) and power (strength and ability) worked great wonders and signs (miracles) among the people.

Sure, God COULD do anything, but the question is “Did it really happen?”

This is the same argument the Mormons use regarding Joseph Smith: “Don’t you believe God could have spoken to Joseph Smith?” And when you say “I cannot limit an omnipotent God.” They say “Well there you go.” As though possibility is proof. It isn’t.

"Mercy" is God not giving you what you deserve.
"Grace" is God giving you what you do not deserve.

Does that clear things up a bit?

Except that it is in direct contradiction (as expressed in post #7) of scripture:

3) "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 4) "There is none righteous, not even one" - Romans 3:10

The first and best indicator that something is of God and blest of God is that there is no direct statement in the bible contradicting that something.

What's worse, is that this is coming from an Apostle.
