“So, Mary, without sin”
That’s your problem right there. The Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Mary was not granted an exception.
Yes but Elijah was not sinless as well and he ascended.
And you know this to be true for sure on what basis? Does the Bible say “no exceptions, not even Jesus’ Mother”?
I don’t think so.
I think you’ve just added your own man-made stuff to the Bible, 2000 years after the fact.
We say that since the Bible was authorized to be written down by those Jesus chose to be the authoritative interpreters of his life and message (he wrote nothing down himself), so too He authorized them and their successors to decide whether “all have sinned” has no exceptions, one exception, thirteen and three-quarters exceptions, or thirty million exceptions. These authorized interpreters interpreted other passages (e.g., “full of grace”) as meaning that one exception was granted to the “all.”
So it’s you said/they said. Exactly when did Jesus authorize you to interpret his Holy Word authoritatively and to tell his authorized interpreters they are wrong?
Yesterday? Or three days ago? Or maybe a few years ago?
