Question for Catholics and Christians.?
Catholics believe that Mary is sinless. . . . Not me. Jesus was the only person without sin to go on the land. . . Luke 1:47 says: My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. . . . . that was Mary. . . . If you need God as their Savior. . How can you be without sin????
- Christian Brothers, is the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
- Catholics: If Mary was the Mother of God, "Could she do not need a Savior?

The Bible says, because all sinned Rom 3:23
says for all have sinned, except Mary,
Mary is a sinner ……… if shes in the sky turned to heaven through Jesus ……..
Mary needed a savior, but Catholics understand that Mary receives absolution (the fullness of grace) at the beginning of your life instead of at the end of it, like the rest of us. The Bible says this is true in Luke 1:28, when the angel of God refers to Mary as the fullness of grace. (His translation can do differently. Most of the Protestant translations underestimated. But if you learn Greek and read Greek, you see that is a title that is using the angel to Mary, and that title, "fullness of grace" is only used once in Scripture.)
The reason Mary needed this special, early delivery of the Grace of Christ was to prepare to bear the Christ Child. Imagine what a disaster that would have been if Mary was a sinner - the pride and laziness just knowing that her son was the Son of God would make any woman who is still fighting the "old" (see Romans) on the edge.
However, Mary knew she needed a savior - which otherwise would have received the fullness of grace?
He was without sin because God, your Savior, saved her from being stained with original sin in its conception and saved her from falling into personal sin throughout her life.
>> Meg contradicts itself. . . . . if it was free of sin, there would need to be saved. <<
He was without sin because he was saved. That is the Catholic idea, for which you asked. Whether or not understand or believe, that is the Catholic viewpoint.
>> Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. <<

I am a Christian and I agree with you. Jesus was the only person without sin. Mary was human like the rest of us. She was special, as she was chosen to give birth to Jesus. She was innocent in the conception of Jesus. I think he was a believer and so it was more than most to be pure. But I do not think she was without sin.
I am a Christian, not Catholic. And to answer your question, I was with sin, like the rest of the human race. Catholics believe that was born with an immaculate conception, in order to have Jesus. But you're right, the one that is perfect is Jesus Christ, his blood was sufficient to cover the sins of the world.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
That verse does not exclude Mary.
I'ma Christian, so I can not speak for Catholics, because I also believe that Mary is sinless. We are all sinners, that is why we need Jesus as our Savior. My sister has converted to a Catholic because he got married and I asked him why the cult of Mary and told her to just show their respect. I am curious about this too. Can not wait to see your answers.
Mary was not a sin. Only Jesus was without sin.
Catholics are wrong, and Mary the mother of Jesus is not only sinless Jesus i 1 just can not get Mary to heaven
You are correct. When God said "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" The worship of Mary and excluded.
Okay. But the Catholic Church has a good answer for that, you see.
The Bible has many contradictions. Do not waste time trying to find out.
For the millionth time TENTH !!!!!
Catholics are Christians !!!!!
If a person falls into a deep hole and someone comes and pulls that person out of the hole, it says that person was saved. This is an analogy of how Jesus saves us from sin after sin. We're not in the hole.
If a person is walking into a hole and get someone else and what keeps him from falling into the hole, that person also was saved. This is a anlogy of how Jesus saved Mary. Mary does not fall into the hole first, because she was saved by Jesus before the fall.
If you take Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." literally, then you have to say that Jesus was a human being, sin. I should also say that babies who are less than 3 years have sinned.
You have to read a little before this verse. You will see that Paul is speaking of all mankind in general, not every individual. He was saying that the Jews were no better than the Gentiles when they reached the holiness or justice.
For a group of people who use the Bible as their only basis of faith, not Catholics understnd not very good.
The reason can not accept Mary without sin is because he does not understand why he was without sin:
Mary - the Immaculate Ark of the New Partnership
Exodus 25:11-21 - the ark of the Old Covenant was made of pure gold from the Word of God. Mary is the Ark of the New Partnership and is the purest vessel for the Word of God made flesh.
2 Sam. 6:7 - the Ark is so holy and pure that when Uzza touched the Lord took his life. This shows that the Ark is contaminated. Mary, Ark of the New Testament is even more immaculate and spotless, forgiven by God, original sin so that he could bring His Eternal Word in her womb.
1 Chronicles. 13:9-10 - this is another account of Uzza and the Ark for God to dwell in the Ark of Mary, Mary had to be conceived without sin. For Protestants to argue otherwise is to say that God let the finger of Satan touch his Son made flesh. This is incomprehensible.
1 Chronicles. 15 and 16 - These verses show the awesome reverence the Jews had for the Ark - veneration, costumes, songs, harps, lyres, cymbals, trumpets.
Luke 1:39 / 2 Sam. 6:2 - Lucas visible comparison between Mary and the Ark described by Samuel highlights the reality of Mary as the immaculate and undefiled Ark of the New Covenant. In these verses, Mary (the Ark) rose and David got up and went to the Ark. There are strong parallels between the Ark of the Old and the Ark of the New Covenant.
Luke 1:41 / 2 Sam. 6:16 - John / King David Baptist leap for joy before Mary / Ark So should we jump for joy before Mary Immaculate Ark of the Word made flesh.
Luke 1:43 / 2 Sam. 6:9 - How can the mother or the ark of the LORD come to me? It is a sacred privilege. Our mother would come to us and leads us to Jesus.
Luke 1:56 / 2 Sam. 6:11 and 1 Chronicles. 13:14 - Maria / the ark remained in the house for about three months.
Rev 11:19 - at this point in history, the Ark of the Old Covenant was not seen for six centuries (see 2 Maccabees. 2:7), and now finally it is in heaven. The Jewish people have been absolutely amazed by this. However, John immediately passes over this fact and describes the "woman" clothed with the sun in Revelation 12:1. John is emphasizing that Mary is the Ark of the New Partnership and, as the ancient ark, is now worthy of veneration and praise. Also remember that Rev. 11:19 and Rev. 12:1 are tied together because there was no chapter and verse at the time these texts were written.
Revelation 12:1 - the "woman" that John describes Mary, Ark of the New Covenant, with the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. Just as the moon reflects light from the sun, so Mary, with the moon under her feet, reflects the glory of the Sun of Righteousness, Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:17 - This verse tells us that the descendants of Mary are those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus. This shows, as Catholics have always believed that Mary is the Mother of all Christians.
Revelation 12:2 - Some Protestants argue that, because the woman had labor pains, she was a woman with sin. However, Revelation is apocalyptic literature unique to the 1st century. Contains various symbols and multiple meanings of women (Mary, the Church and Israel). Birth pangs describe both the birth of the Church and Mary's descendants are in Christ. Mary had no labor pains in the delivery of her only son Jesus.
Isaiah 66:7 - for example, we see that Isaiah prophesied that before she (Mary) was in labor, gave birth before her pain she found that she bore a son (Jesus). This is a Marian prophecy of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 4:19 - Paul also described their pain as labor pains in the formation of the disciples of Christ. Birth pangs describe the formation in Christ.
Rom. 8:22 - well, Paul says that creation groans in travail before the coming of Christ. We're all suffering labor pains, because we are being reborn in Christ Jesus.
Jer. 13:21 - Jeremiah describes the birth pangs of Israel, as a woman in travail. Birth pangs are often used metaphorically in Scripture.
Os. 13:12-13 - Ephraim also described as the birth pangs of their sins. Once again, the pains of childbirth are used metaphorically.
Micah 4:9-10 - Micah also describes Jerusalem as being prey to the pains of childbirth as a woman in travail.
Revelation 12:13-16 - these verses, we see that the devil seeks to destroy even women, even after the Savior's birth. This shows Mary is a threat to Satan, even after the birth of Christ. This is because God has given him the power to intercede for us, and we rely on your help in our spiritual life.
