Right. A sinner can be filled with grace along the pattern of Mary, and expel the sin from inside of himself with Christ's help and become like Mary, free from sin. We pray "Lord, forgive me my sins and with Thy help I shall not sin again".
grace not only doesn't prove sinlesness, it strongly infers a prior state of sin
No, not "infers", any more that the Sun shining on Earth does not strongly infer that the Earth is covered with ice. Indeed Mary herself cites God as her "Savior" (in the Magnificat) but that does not infer that she had sinned, simply that she is free from sin, -- saved, -- from conception.
Dear everyone,
That is all I have time for today, I will answer the rest when I find time. Have a blessed weekend and come, celebrate the Palm Sunday with us.
Not true, that is just Catholic dogma.
Mary referring to Jesus as her Savior does not infer that she had sinned (was a sinner) but PROVES she was a sinner and she rejoiced in God her Savior.
We are all born in the same condition, with the sin nature.
Don't worry, it's alright with God that Mary needed salvation (and revieved it earlier in her earthly life as demonstrated by her statement "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.")
I'm amazed at those that don't realize that God can use sinners to glorify Him.
