“But the other conception, namely the infusion of the soul, it is piously and suitably believed, was without any sin, so that while the soul was being infused, she would at the same time be cleansed from original sin and adorned with the gifts of God to receive the holy soul thus infused. And thus, in the very moment in which she began to live, she was without all sin...”
Martin Luther, Weimar edition of Martin Luther’s Works
Interesting logic, I guess this means Jesus sinned then right? For is he not part of “All”?
Mary, Joseph, all the “saints” do nothing for me. Jesus is the ONLY one who forgives and saves. Worshiping or praying to any other “relation” is idolatry.
So God didn't have the power to absolve her as has been described in Catholic canons? Wow, omnipotence is so limiting...
Ask RnMomof7, it was her suggestion about the Mother of God.
Why is Mamab unqualified to read the Word of God? Can you tell me where I can find that in scripture - that man is unqualified to read the Word of God? I thought faith came from hearing...and hearing from the Word of God.
In fairness he may have meant that she too inherited original sin not that she committed sins.
Does the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception say otherwise? No it does not.
You sir have TICKED ME OFF
(yes I know I'm screaming.)
The OT is all about CHRIST, not His mother..the ark was a type of CHRIST..Unless sins are forgiven by Mary on the mercy seat, unless Mary led the Jews in the desert, unless Mary led the Jews in battle..
That is just bad Mariology theology
Thanks - that’s what I thought.
Does the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception say Mary is a goddess? Nope.
blessed - as in Luke 1:48

makariousin - Greek
The Greek from Strong’s.

call blessed, count happy.
From makarios; to beatify, i.e. Pronounce (or esteem) fortunate — call blessed, count happy.
makarios
http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/3107.htm
blessed, happy.
A prolonged form of the poetical makar (meaning the same); supremely blest; by extension, fortunate, well off — blessed, happy(X -ier).
Um, Jesus is the “glory of God” part.
I demand to see it, too. This is an outrage.
Right you are!
Yes, Mary was blessed. She was fortunate and happy and well off.
But she was not sinless and not always a virgin.
Posting who Mary is - a handmaiden of The Lord, who needed a Savior like every human, and who fulfilled the destiny on her life is not bashing. How many go through life not only not fulfilling their destiny they were called to - but don’t even know it what it is.
Mary heard The Word and she obeyed it. How many do you know who do that? “Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down..” Mark 7:13
Do you know anyone that has done that, nullified God’s Word. Mary didn’t.
So you see, Christians are not bashing Mary in any way, shape or form.
Catholics are bashing God’s Word by their tradition of Mary and all their accolades the RCC bestows on her which are not in Scripture. Their tradition clearly opposes God’s Word regarding Mary.
So Catholics should learn from Mary but they don’t - seems nullifying God’s Word is paramount.
