How long should I wait before I respond to a post in order to have my response considered at least potentially credible. I'm afraid I may have waited an insufficient amount of time or two much time, but I say again that we think that Mary is entirely human, was human at her conception and is human now as Queen of Heaven.
The Roman Catholic notion of Mary is not of a normal human being, since she is suppose to have been born sinless and remained sinless.
There is nothing 'normal' about that.
I think you mean to say that she was fully human, like Christ was fully human.
Maybe I haven't followed your exchange closely enough. However . . .
This is an important issue. THE MARY CARICATURE WAS/IS NOT FULLY HUMAN IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD.
'She' is a hollow cardboard cartoon caricature designed to trigger inherent (often desperate) MOMMY NEEDS of the faithful and potential faithful in behalf of the RC org.
1. She is NOT the normal human daughter of normal human parents.
2. She is NOT the Biblical normal mother of half-blood siblings of Jesus as the OT and NT declare.
3. She is NOT the normally bodily dying and decaying human Scripture indicates all but Jesus and Enoch were.
4. She is NOT the normal graduated-from-this-life human enjoying their Heavenly rest
5. Without God-like omniscience
6. and without prayer answering powers.
The Mary caricature has been fantasized, trumped up, manufactured, created out of whole cloth more masterfully to great destructiveness to souls than Spielberg and all Hollyweed ever managed to do with ET.
Yes. I'll go with "fully human". I think of sin as a corruption of human nature.
