God says that Mary is Kecharitomene. You agree with God, right?

Original question first: God says that Mary sinned. It is impossible for God to lie.

If a man says Mary never sinned, does the man lie, or do you call God the liar?

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

Ignoring the snark, notice that Stephan was declared to be “full of grace and POWER”

The Biblical Mary was filled with grace.

“Power” was erroneously given to her by Catholic tradition.

The Catholic Mary isn’t the Mary of the Bible.

ALL believers are graced with the same grace that Mary had.

Mary and Grace

The word grace used in this passage in Luke is used in one other place in the Bible and that is Ephesians 1 where Paul tells us that with this same grace, God has blessed us (believers) in the Beloved. IOW, we all have access to that grace and it has been bestowed on us all.

Luke 1:28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”

Ephesians 1:4-6 In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
