God made Mary sinless without erasing her free will. Why won't he do that for us?
>>18513909As it says in Leviticus 12:8, after giving birth, Mary was unclean and also needed a sacrifice, a sin offering (Luke 2:24)If Christians have died with Christ (Rom. 6:6, 8), and that means that the Law has no jurisdiction over us (Rom. 4:15, 10:14) because we’ve died to the Law (Rom. 7:4), then why does the RCC that says we need to keep the commandments (Law) in order to be saved (CCC 2036, 2070, 2068)? Also, consider that Rom. 3:28 says, “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law” (i.e., 10 Commandments).Jesus said in Matt. 7:22-23, “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’” Jesus condemned them to damnation because they appealed to their works to be in heaven.Do you really believe you can merit (earn) God’s grace? “we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification” (CCC 2010).Are you keeping the commandments enough to attain your salvation? “…so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments” (CCC 2068).James 2:10, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.”Gal. 3:10, “For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM.”Sin is breaking the Law of God (1 John 3:4). Jesus bore our sins in His body (1 Pet. 2:24) and made a legal (Lawful, according to Scripture) atoning sacrifice (John 19:30) where He canceled our sin debt (Col. 2:14). So if every single sin and sin debt you’ve ever committed has been canceled, then how is it possible for you to lose your salvation since there are no sins left that can be held against you?
>>18513909She literally had sex with her husband and undoubtedly had need of repentance for a slew of sexual thoughts that cross boundaries, as all sex-havers have. Not to disrespect her. It would be more disrespectful to say she never sinned.
>>18513981>As it says in Leviticus 12:8, after giving birth, Mary was unclean and also needed a sacrifice, a sin offering (Luke 2:24)Becoming ritually impure is not a sin in the sense of being an act of disobedience against God tho.
>>18513984She didn't, she remained a virgin her whole life.
>>18513909>her free willNigga, only God has free will.You believe you are the doer, because your ego wants authorship, but you're not the ego.
>>18513988It's a sin offering, that's what it says: " the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean."Luke 1:46 - 1:47"And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."If Mary was sinless, she wouldn't need a Savior to save her. Many of the statements made by the RCC elevate Mary to a place that is equal to God in many functions, i.e., intercession, atonement, prayer to, etc.The Roman Catholic Church has manufactured far too much doctrine concerning Mary out of the erroneous translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible. They should look to Jesus alone. He alone is the sinless one, the perfect one, the Lord, the mediator, the forgiver of our sins. It is he alone to whom we should appeal and trust for the forgiveness of our sins. We should not look to any creature no matter how blessed that creature may be.
>>18514009You’re a pagan fool. All biblical data suggests Mary had sex and children
>>18513909she was given sufficient grace for the required task, mainly so that the curse of her people would not pass to His son.
>>18514077Repent. Holy Theotokos was a virgin.
>>18514093In Matthew 1:25, the gospel writer states that Joseph "knew her not until she had given birth to a son." The use of the word "until" (Greek heos) typically implies a change of condition, suggesting Joseph and Mary consummated their marriage after Jesus was born
>>18514104>"knew her not until she had given birth to a son."Greek is my first language and I can assure you this is not what it means. the word for "until" (heos) marks a time boundary but does not automatically mean a change in behavior occurred later. For example, in 2 Samuel 6:23, it says King David's wife Michal had no children "until the day of her death" obviously meaning she never had children at all.I can see your protestant views from miles away, but it's a big sin to reject the Mother of God
>>18514114>the Mother of GodI dislike your phrasing because it implies that the divinity of the Son came from the mother, but that would be heretical and I hope you are not some kind of jew trying to make christians think they should be worshiping jews
>>18514114"But he refused and went and threw him into prison until (heōs) he should pay the debt."It can mean either a change or not. However because the New Testament explicitly states Jesus has brothers and sisters, it is clear heos in Matthew 1:25 means Mary lost her virginity to Joseph as a very normal condition of marriage.
>>18514114>For example, in 2 Samuel 6:23, it says King David's wife Michal had no children "until the day of her death" obviously meaning she never had children at all.You know the Old Testament was written in Hebrew right
>>18514121>I dislike your phrasing because it implies that the divinity of the Son came from the motherNo Theotokos is a Greek title translating to "God-bearer" or "Mother of God". This dogmatic title affirms that she gave birth to Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully, im orthodox Christian
