That is the root.
Nonetheless, Luke 1:28 uses the perfect past participle, “Kecharitomene.”

Compare post 476 and 489 - where the poster’s words were repeated, mangled as if spoken by an idiot.
To: fortheDeclaration
Mary was said to have 'found favor with God'.That is a common protestant mistranslation. Quite intentional, I think.

Precisely the same thing was done in 476. I did not type “yewn,” that would be the word of an idiot.
My 489 made issue of this by repeating her behavior. That was my point.

Then both of you, knock it off. When you quote another poster, be precise. If you are paraphrasing another poster, mark it clearly as a paraphrase.
But in any case, do NOT "make it personal!"
To: Alamo-Girl
I submit that it is a matter of perspective not either/or. For one to be right the other doesnt have to be wrong. So true, my dearest sister in Christ! To suggest another analogy, these two views are each truthful "complementarities" that are ultimately unified in the One Light of God's Truth.
Thank you so much for your beautiful essay/post!

Indeed. Thank you so very much for those beautiful Scriptures!

To avoid "putting words in another Freeper's mouth" and thereby "making it personal" - when you are paraphrasing another Freeper be sure to indicate that it is a paraphrase and not a direct quote. For instance, "Bibliolatry equals believing the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible!" [paraphrase]
Thanks. That's very good advice.

Regarding "yewn," I had no idea I misspelled the word, "yawn."
(When I'm trying to be funny, I usually try harder than that.)
Sorry for the misspelling.

Where do you get this stuff? The sacrifice of the mass is a sacrfice of a kind different from those under the Law.

The corrupt line of New Age Bibles, from the Critical text types do come from the RCC. The Holy Spirit was responsible for the pure line of Bible, found in the Received Text Bibles of the Reformation.
AMEN!

In fact, Jael(Jud.5:24) is said to be blessed ABOVE women, while Mary was said to only to be blessed AMONG women.(Lk.1:28)AMEN! For those with ears to hear.

You've not heard of the Holy Bible; the inspired WORD OF GOD?
Of course. Again, the issue is not whether a particular belief can be argued by means of Scripture. Even slavery in America was defended using the Holy Bible.
The larger question is what the Holy Bible actually means. Given that there are tens of thousands of Protestant denominations who disagree with one another - and yet claim that they are all based on the Bible - it stands to reason that the Bible as it is written is not sufficiently clear and requires proper intepretation and adaptation.
Thus, when one wishes to correctly understand the meaning of the Scriptures, would it not make sense to compare one's current understanding with that of the Christian community that existed around the time it was written?
So, yes, I know there's a Bible. The question for Protestants is: if how you interpret the Bible is true, why is it that the Christian community did not share your beliefs for the first 1500 years of its existence?

While this post is in reply to #1, I am actually replying to the sum of various posts by you all.
You all have earned my respect.
You have also left me with nothing to say.
(which is a good thing)
Thank you for taking the time to address these issues with such articulation.
I have for a long time wanted to see these two arguments side by side.
Hang in there and keep up the good work.

I am not responsible for what others believe. That said. there are very few basic tenets of the orthodox (small ‘o’ is intentional) Christian faith. Churches that depart from those are in error.
