Mary was not chosen by God because she was blessed, she was blessed because she was chosen by God. She, like the rest of us is imperfect and needs the blood of Christ for salvation.
It was not part of the requirements of a blemish free lamb that it’s parents be blemish free.
Mary was the incubator, although that would bless any woman I know.
Who is Jesus mother? He made it pretty clear in Matthew 12:
46While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Mary was one of MANY characters surrounding the story of God, and the historical relationship between man and man, and God and man. All worshipful and deity focus is on Jesus, not his earthly ancestors. They/we are mere flawed human beings.
I have no relationship with Mary. My relationship is with Jesus.
You're putting the cart in front of the horse.
Luke 1;28 says Mary was Blessed
“”And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.””
Lets bring in the anti Catholic Quix and ask if he thinks Mary was not Blessed and tell us scriptures lie?
Quix- do you believe Mary was Blessed?
Quix- Do you think Mary was the incubator and not Blessed
Rob Roy- Do you think our Lord has Blessed you and not Mary?
Rob Roy-Do you think your mother was an incubator so she could produce a know it all son like you that does not square what all of the early Christians who gave up their lives believed?
Why do you think your scripture interpretations are above over 2000 years of all of the Saints?
Are you some kind of prophet who did nothing that we are supposed to follow? I see you as another Jim Jones self loving person who thinks God is guiding him
What have you done to make me believe you? Nothing!
You're posts pretty much prove this!
Excellent, especially the first line. I may steal that some day (LOL). M
