(OR) Is this argument contradicted by the lengthly, rambling, article you posted?

I do not understand what you mean?

I'm sorry. It was an article posted by CatholicGuy.

"The argument was not, technically, that Mary's name was changed; just that she was called this name by an angel (in the sense of a title, or additional identifier), and that that act could not possibly be without significance, in the Hebraic (and biblical) worldview. Consider this analogy: "If Jesus' name was 'Prince of Peace' [Isaiah 9:6] why is He called 'Jesus' in most places He is mentioned in the NT?"

If I recall, you say her name is changed to "Full of Grace". The author indicates it was a one time thing.

If I have misinterpreted your belief just forget the whole thing and write it off to a rambling from a silly old fool. If you believe her name is changed we can pursue the subject further. OK?

<> I thought it beneficial, not rambling. But, as pseudo-justin is clearly a superior Catholic apologist,I will step back to watch and learn:)

My heart is always gladdened when I witness a fellow Catholic witnessing so well...<>
