[Arthur McGowan]

The angel said to Mary that she was “full of grace.”

You know. Without sin.

Of course, what does the angel Gabriel know?

[Elsie]

You know. Without sin.

Rome states. Tain't so.

Sinless folks do NOT need a Savior.

Sinless Mary??

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

Being full of grace does not mean sinless.

Grace is given to sinners. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds.

If Mary was all that graced, it was because she was a great sinner.

If Mary had no sin, she didn't need God's grace.
