The Father gave her the supernatural grace to be worthy of his Son. Meditate on the reason why Jesus was born of a virgin rather than as John was, as Isaac was,as Samuel was, by natural grace through the intercourse of a man and a woman. The Virgin Birth was not a “miracle,” but the Creator taking on the form and substance of a creature, becoming a man

Galatians 1:7,8 "there are some who want to trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed."

Nowhere in the Good Book is Mary referred to as the "Queen of Heaven" or given any ranking over the Apostles. It is paganistic to elevate man to a God-like status or in this case a demigoddess title. This fixation on Mary is a perversion of the gospel and is adding to the Words of the Bible of which there are stern warnings against. Meditate on Galatians 1:8 before proceeding on a book extolling the "Magic of Mary".

Sorry; but that's the very DEFINITION of a 'miracle' - something OUTSIDE of the 'normal' method of things happening.

Houston; we have a problem.


1 John 1 (kjv)

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.


But... what if we just say that MARY never sinned???
