Catholics: If Mary was the Mother of God, "Could she do not need a Savior?
She needed a Savior! Read this part of the prayer sung from the mouth of Mary, Mother of Jesus:
(John 2:1-5 is quite beautiful prayer. Read it.)
"My soul magnifies the Lord. And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has considered the status of your humble servant;
Why Mary (which is supposedly sinless) needs a Savior? If she was she was not sinless. Note that Romans 3:23 says "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Why not paul list Mary as an exception, and say, "all have sinned, except Mary, and come short of the glory of God."?
Any good answers are accepted. Do not argue, for the cause, claiming that the tradition continues. Dame biblical proof here.
This question has been asked many, many, many times and I have a copy and paste answer for it. Wait, I will get it.
You are interpreting the verse literally. Mary was not referring to their "sin". The correct interpretation is the following sentence. God was his elevation to his humility, therefore, God was his savior.
Consider a child below the age of reason. By definition, can not sin, since sinning requires the ability to reason and the ability to intend to sin. This is indicated by Paul later in the letter to the Romans when he speaks of the time when Jacob and Esau were unborn babies as a time when "had done nothing either good or bad" (Rom. 9:11) .
In the beginning, God created Adam, Eve, and the angels without sin, but none was equal to God. Most of the angels never sinned, and all the souls in heaven are without sin. This does not detract from the glory of God but is manifested by the work he has done in sanctifying his creation. Not a human sin. On the contrary, when man is without sin is most fully what God intends it to be.
We also know of another very prominent exception to the rule: Jesus (Hebrews 4:15). Therefore, if the statement of Paul in Romans 3 includes an exception for the new Adam (Jesus), one can argue that an exception to the New Eve (Mary) can also be done.
My short answer: Maria does not need a savior, because since its conception was preserved from sin. We refer to this doctrine as the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
If you have questions about the monitoring of this doctrine will be happy to answer it.
Well first is the doctrine of Mary was conceived without original sin. That is what is said, was preserved from the stain of sin is the Theokotos (bearer of God), which is shown in Luke 1:42.
You are totally misrepresenting what Catholics believe about the state of Mary without sin (or Catholic). There are 5 doctrine of Mary:
Mary is called Mother of God AD 431
Prayers offered to Mary 600 AD
Immaculate Conception (which was free of sin (without original sin) AD 1854
Assumption of Mary (assumed body and soul into heaven) AD 1950
Mary proclaimed Mother of the Church AD 1965
Not to say that Mary was human or anything, but that is entirely in their own ideal, but his performance was flawless (as seen through writing). But she had doubts, fear, and other minor things, which some consider sin.
Mary was "saved" through the invention of God, not because it was perfectly sinless yourself. She needs a savior, but was saved in its design. Do you believe that God can be born with the sin of someone else, or that God does not have the power and authority to keep someone of that to serve its mission? Plus the Greek word in the phrase PAS is not to say that everyone in the definition of English as absolute in all.
Who would you say is the Queen of Heaven crowned with 12 stars if not the Mother of God?
Catholics know that Mary needed a Savior and we know that Jesus is your Savior, He is the same as for anyone else.
Which has already said the Magnificat, which shows well, so I will not publish again.
Mary needs the salvation of original sin, as well as anyone. She just received this gift of salvation of the Lord at the beginning of his life, instead of at the end of it like the rest of us. This is the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. We believe that Mary needs the special provision of salvation, it was chosen to be the mother of Jesus who is God.
Imagine if it had been a sinner and God has-in-the-flesh to a child! Imagine the pride, selfishness, laziness, that presumption may have suffered if it had not been completely absolved of all sin before she was Jesus! If you think you'll see that it is completely necessary for Mary to have received the gift of a full acquittal and was told before that the intentions of God for her.
As for Romans 3:23, as I said - and certainly knew Paul - Maria does not need a savior * * and * not * to trust in Jesus for salvation, so she is part of "everyone" - only in a unique way.
The biblical evidence? I can also biblical evidence that murder is acceptable, the violation is not wrong in some circumstances, people should have slaves. No attack acctually tradition before reading the Bible. You will see that not all lovers what you think. Although there are some beautiful pieces of Scripture that they should live their life and base everything we believe in the Bible.
Mary is the mother of God that can not be without sin, but in the eyes of God was the most worthy person of Jesus. That (according to the Bible) or wasn't sinless.
Yes, Maria de Jesus Salvador needs, but why have to say that it can not be regarded as the Mother of God? Note that Mary is what it is because of Jesus, not in spite of it:
The uniqueness of Mary as the Mother of God
Gen. 3:15 - we see from the very beginning that God gives Mary a unique role in salvation history. God says: "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between your seed and her seed." This refers to Jesus (the "wedge") and Mary (the woman). The phrase "his seed" (spermatos) not seen in other parts of Scripture.
Gen 3:15 / Rev. 12:1 - the Scriptures begin and end with the woman fighting satan. This points to the power of the woman with the seed and teaches us that Jesus and Mary are the new Adam and the new Eve.
John 2:4, 19:26 - Jesus calls Mary "woman" as it is called the general in 3:15. Just as Eve was the mother of creation of age, Mary is the mother of the new creation. This woman will crush the serpent's seed head.
Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23 - a virgin (the Greek word used is "Parthena") will bear a son named Emmanuel, meaning "God is with us." John 1:14 - God in the flesh dwelling among us. Mary is the Virgin Mother of God.
Matt. 2:11 - Luke stresses Jesus with Mary his mother, and the wizards before dropping them, worshiping Jesus.
Luke 1:35 - the child will be called holy, the Son of God. Mary is the Mother of the Son of God, or Mother of God (Theotokos).
Luke 1:28 - "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." These are the words spoken by God and given to us by the angel Gabriel (who is a messenger of God). Therefore, when Catholics recite this verse while praying the Rosary, are uttering the words of God.
Luke 1:28 - Also, the phrase "full of grace" is translated from the Greek word "kecharitomene. This is a unique title given to Mary, and suggests a perfection of the grace of a past event. Mary is not only "heavily favored". She has been perfected in God's grace. "Full of Grace" is only used to describe a person - Jesus Christ in John 1:14.
Luke 1:38 - Mary fiat is "let them do to me according to your word." Mary is the perfect model of faith in God and is worthy of our veneration.
Luke 1:42 - "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." The phrase "blessed among women who are" really means "you are most blessed of all women" . A circumlocution is used because there is no superlative in the Greek language. Note also that Elizabeth praises Mary first, and then Jesus. This is hyperdulia (Latvia, but is not the worship owed to God). We can also go through Mary to praise Jesus. Finally, Catholics repeat these divinely inspired words of Elizabeth in the Rosary.
Luke 1:43 - Elizabeth the use of "Mother of my Lord" (in Hebrew, Elizabeth used "Adonai" which means Lord God) is the equivalent of "Holy Mary, Mother of God" that Catholics pray in the Rosary. The formula is simple: Jesus is a divine person, and this person is God. Mary is the mother of Jesus, so Mary is the Mother of God (Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus' human nature - mothers are the mothers of the people, not nature).
Luke 1:44 - Mary's voice causes John the Baptist to leap for joy at the heart of Isabel. Luke tells us that Mary is our powerful intercessor.
Luke 1:46 - Mary says that his soul magnifies the Lord. This is a bold statement of a young Jewish girl from Nazareth. His statement is a strong testament to its uniqueness. Mary, our Mother and intercessor, increases our prayers.
Luke 1:48 - Mary prophesies that all generations call blessed, like the Catholics in the "Ave Maria" prayer. The Protestant churches that have existed in all generations (none), and how many of them to call Mary blessed with special prayers and devotions?
Gal. 4:4 - God sent his Son, born of a woman, to redeem. Mary is the woman with the redeemer. Calling Mary co-redemptrix, simply by calling Mary "the woman with the redeemer." This is because "co" is the latin word "***" means "with". Therefore, co-redemptrix "means" woman with the redeemer. " Maria had a subordinate role only, but Jesus in salvation.
Eph. 1:1, Phil. 1:1, Col. 1:2 - the word "saints" (in Hebrew "qaddiysh") means "holy" ones. This is called Santa Maria, the largest of all the San.
Luke 2:35 - Simeon prophesies that a sword will also pierce Mary's soul. Mary thus plays an important role in our redemption. While the suffering of Jesus all that was necessary for redemption, God wanted Mary to participate in a subordinate role in the suffering of her Son, as it allows us to participate through our own suffering.
Luke 2:19,51 - Mary kept in mind all these things, and pondered it in his heart. Catholics involved in this recall Immaculate Heart of Mary and all the treasures and wisdom and knowledge contained therein.
Mary was not sinless, so I needed a Savior, who declared it.
At that time they had baptisim yet (I do not believe, and could be completely wrong there) for the purpose of John the Baptist … have been born with original sin continues to exist. I can not say it was without sin, but she told the House of Lords in favor of the eyes, so if I had to guess who regularly repented, therefore, has never forgotten his first love, they had one God (the birth of Jesus) that she was reduced to life as she knew what God wanted to do it. Not to mention the condemnation of life on earth is enough to think that many are asking for a savior esspecially in Israel as a nation that is constantly in battle … even without sin does not mean they do not want or need saved. Maybe this is not the biblical evidence, but proof that they are human and our understanding.
Of course she needed, and a savior! Who do you think saved from sin? According to Catholic doctrine, God saved her:
"We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the majority of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be firmly and constantly believed by all the faithful. " - Ineffabilis Deus, emphasis minehttp: / / http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius09/p …
Mary is a creature, she is not above or equal to God. She is the mother of God in the sense that Jesus was his son and Jesus is God.

Mary was immaculately conceived, that is, without the stain of original sin. Yes, Mary did not need a savior, but she was saved in a different way. This image …
You or I walking along and fall into a pit. God saves us to come and pull us back up. With Mary, as she was about to fall and grabbed God prevented him from falling.
As you can see, in fact, Mary needed a Savior.
Here is some evidence of the Scriptures now!
We Catholics honor of our Queen Mother, and in many ways, especially by "doing what He tells us" for his advice to the waiters at the wedding of Cana. This is his greatest desire, their deep desire to come to know, love and serve her Son! To better serve God is the ultimate goal of any honor to Our Lady and Marian devotion same purpose. "For Matrem ad Filium" - "Through the Mother to Son" is the motto of the Catholic that Mary likes especially.
We venerate Mary, too, for such practices as prayer to her (especially the Rosary), using the Brown Scapular of Mount Caramel mercifully, mercifully bring the Miraculous Medal, recalling their parties, while the first five Saturdays for your request to seers in Fatima, the statues of his coronation in May, defending his honor against Protestants or misunderstandings and attacks of evil, etc, especially, we give our offerings, suffering, and the reasons for Jesus to be purified and presented to him by the hands immaculate.
The Bible says "all have sinned, and the height of the glory of God" not everyone except Mary.
Well, it seems that most have already responded to this question and I agree with them. Look at the verse "And my spirit rejoiced in God my Savoir", not Jesus - who is the knowledge of the world - but God because He keeps his sin.
In fact, see the foreshadowing of his coming in Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman." The woman is Mary and the "you" is Satan.
Enmity is a deep rooted hatred and Satan is sin, so that there is enmity between Mary and Satan, that mean she hates sin more than any other human. This is also why Satan hates both Mary and why pray the Rosary is a weapon against Satan and his demons.
Sorry, I would write more but I have to leave … I feel sorry for the short answer.
Mary does not need a Savior and was saved by God at conception, which preserved her from sin.
She was not divine and sinless, because of its nature, but she was "saved" by God in his conception of sin. This indeed make God his savior, and she acknowledges it was saved.
Mary was the mother of God, she was the mother of the Son of God. As Gabriel said to Mary in Luke 1:35: "Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, the Son of God. "
The Catholic Church believes that Mary was not in need of a savior. But it should be noted that the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is not compatible with the oldest traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, in contradiction to the Scriptures. The claim that Mary was preserved from original sin from the first moment of conception denies the universality of sin inherited. The Apostle Paul says clearly: "Sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, death and, therefore, has spread throughout the human race has sinned, because all World. "(Romans 5:12, JB) The Scriptures also say that redemption for" all mankind "came only through Christ's death. (Hebrews 2:9, JB) If the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, was true, she would have died before Christ redeemed, in fact, even years before he came to earth.
