People mistake being made righteous by GOD's favor for being sinless and they are not one and the same. Noah was found righteous. He wasn't without sin and he sure wasn't after the flood. The same with Abraham and Moses. Moses died because of his sin. Because of his sin he did not enter the promised land. Yet Moses and Abraham were GOD's chosen persons for fulfilling GOD's Divine purpose and will just as Mary was.
Only one person has walked this earth sinless before GOD. His name is Jesus Christ. He came as Lord and Savior for all including Mary and John The Baptist a man who was born filled with The Holy Spirit by Biblical accounts. Yet what did John The Baptist say of Christ? The most beloved Disciple of Christ died an earthly death. Where is Mary? She is with The Lord.
If Mary was free from all sin then this world needed not a Savior because it proved mankind could save itself from sin. But Mary is indeed now free from all sin through Christ. Christ left Mary here on earth with the Disciples. He actually left her with James who took her into his home saying "This is your mother". He said it to James not all the Disciples. I do not think Christ meant for Mary to be anyone but whom she was. Notice except for the Wedding miracle no special favor with Him or none is mentioned thereafter. Actually the opposite is shown when she and his Disciples and brothers {yes I think he had earthly half brothers from Mary and Joseph} came to see Him. Who is my mother sister and brother Christ asked? The answer was given.
I rely far more on what is written on the pages of The Holy Bible preserved by GOD HIMSELF for 3500 years than mans traditions and mans decreed church laws. Christ set us free from than bondage and some still want to re-institute it. That is the nature of man. It has been the nature of man throughout history. It was the nature of Israel when brought out of Egypt and what did it get them in return?
Christ gave us The Way, The Truth, and The Light. He made it so simple a child can grasp much of it. It doesn't take knowing years of studying and understanding Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and other ancient writings, passed down traditions of man. That system FAILED!!!
Reading the third Chapter of John and believing can bring you salvation through Jesus Christ the very instant you believe and accept it. Reading books upon books and studying years upon years of ancient tradition will bring you ancient traditions.
The miracle of salvation is GOD through the Holy Spirits Gives You Your Daily Bread just a GOD gave Israel Manna Whom did the Manna come from GOD or Moses? We need to be dependent on that and not relying on mans traditions. Come to Him as a child not a scholar and theologists. A child need not fully understand to believe a child believes by faith and trust. A child is taught by The Father. {and earthly mother}.
Jesus was sinless because Jesus was God and the new Adam. Mary was sinless is the same way that Adam and Eve were sinless. Indeed, one of the titles of Mary is “the New Eve.”
Amen! For those with ears to hear.
INDEED:
