sinless like Christ? NO!
omnipresent like God? NO!
sits on a throne like God? NO!

want to try again?

Jesus was sinless by HIS OWN MERITS. Mary was protected from sinning ( full of grace ) by the GRACE OF GOD. BIG DIFFERENCE.

ONLY GOD IS OMNIPRESENT. Those “in Christ” BECOME PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, but it is a gift from God.

Jesus Christ reigns as King in heaven, Mary worships the King like all the saved from all eternity.

What did Jesus say when someone said Mary was “blessed”?

Luke 11:27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Nay rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Then we find that Mary was blessed “among” women but Jael was blessed “above” women.

The words spoken to Mary were no different then were spoken to Jael in Judges. In fact, Jael was called blessed above women. Mary was called blessed among women.

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Judges 5:24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,

Those words were also spoken of Noah, Moses, and David.
