Please answer these three questions...
(1) was Mary born without Original Sin...
(2) therefore was she born without concupiscense...
(3) how could she commit sin?

>(1) was Mary born without Original Sin... NO! She was born the same as you or I.

>(2) therefore was she born without concupiscense... NO! she had potential for the same sensual lust and human desires as you or I have.

>(3) how could she commit sin?She raised at least 7 children, and you have to ask how she could have sinned? Ask your mother if she ever had sinful thought while raising and cleaning up after you or your brothers or sisters if you had any?

Mary was a typical Jewish mother, not the divine picture of sainthood you have been seeing on pictures and statues since your birth.

When she became a believer, and understood that Jesus was the Savor Christ, she was given God’s Spirit just the same as you or I, and she is probably still in Paradise, waiting for the resurrection as we’ll be when we die, unless Jesus returns before we die.

The RC’s adoration of Mary, was no doubt a carry over from pagan religions who had worshipped the mother child combination long before Catholics approved, and changed the characters.

I have no Idea how God views this, but for me, I’m thankful I wasn’t brought up as a child, believing it was normal to pray to the dead who are waiting for the resurrection, and have nothing to do with the living.

Remember, Read the tag line. Lol

You have no credibility when you say Mary had seven children. Please provide some proof Mary had seven children.

Your words-
"Mary was a typical Jewish mother, not the divine picture of sainthood you have been seeing on pictures and statues since your birth."
-I never said sainthood is divine.
-It is not divine.
-The Catholic Church does not consider sainthood divine, It considers it holy, sacred, and blessed.
-I don't consider the mother of our Lord a "typical Jewish mother," (I don't think anyone should, and neither does God).

"The RC’s adoration of Mary, was no doubt a carry over from pagan religions who had worshipped the mother child combination long before Catholics approved, and changed the characters."
-Adoration is worship, Catholics don't worship Mary.
-Catholics venerate, or respect and pray to her.

When she became a believer, and understood that Jesus was the Savior Christ, she was given God’s Spirit just the same as you or I, and she is probably still in Paradise, waiting for the resurrection as we’ll be when we die, unless Jesus returns before we die.
-"Savior Christ", is there any other Christ?
-She was a believer before Christ was born, when she acknowledged Gabriel's message, and said "yes" to conceiving Jesus.
