Listen up, God did not violate Mary's Free Will. She could have chosen not to cooperate with God, that is why we praise her for her fiat. If she was a slave, then we would not consider her any more than that.

Listen up, would God have chosen Mary if he knew, and you can be certain he knew, she'd refuse?

Why do you suppose Jesus went to the trouble of nipping the "Cult of Mary" in the bud?

No, He wouldn't have. But that does not mean she had no Free Will.

You are confusing foreknowledge with predetermination.

Back to the "dissing Mary" Bible verses, are we? Are we through with what "all" means?

I'm waiting for one of the "all is all" guys to answer my question about what sin the newborn have committed.
