[OLD REGGIE]

Without Mary’s “YES”(Fiat) there is no Salvation for you.

Mary was told she would bear a son. She was not asked.

Luke 1:
[30] And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

[31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

Get your Bible Out and follow along, Dear Brother

It might be well for you to get your Bible out and follow along Dear Sister.

| Psalm 68 | DOUAY-RHEIMS

Salvum me fac, Deus. Christ in his passion declareth the greatness of his sufferings, and the malice of his persecutors the Jews; and foretelleth their reprobation.

9 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.


Psalm 69 [68]Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
(There is a discrepance between Douay-Rheims and other Bibles)

8 I have become a stranger to my brethren, an alien to my mother's sons.


Psalm 69 NAB
9. I have become an outcast to my kin, a stranger to my mother's children.


His mother had other children???????????????

[OpusatFR]

“She was not asked.”

Mary had free will.

You view it from an absolutist, Calvinist, Islamist-like literal view of Scripture and God that doesn’t allow for free will.

Catholics believe in free will.

Wellllllllll, now, OLD REGGIE, you should know better.

1. In the first place, the RC edifice Rubber Bible doesn’t put it that way.

2. In the 2nd place, the RC rubber dictionary doesn’t have a word for “sons.” So, they HAD, JUST HAD TO BE . . . maybe cousins. Or perhaps uncles. Or maybe cousins twice removed from uncles thrice removed. Or maybe they were figments of early Protty’s imaginations already trying to sabotage Mary’s early rise as Magnificent Miraculous Earth-Mother-Goddess Mary. That’s it. Clearly a copyist error. Or the early scribe for God didn’t have the proper rubber dictionary so only THOUGHT Christ said sons.

3. Or maybe they were adopted sons—you know troubled ruffians who happened along that Magnificent Mary took to her Earth-Mother lap.

4. I mean, we can’t have Christ rushing off declaring things without them being vetted by the 400 years later RC magicsterical, now can we! What would the world come to! Think of all that political power mongering that would be at risk! So Christ could not possibly have meant SONS! The magicsterical would have never allowed it—even 400 years before their existence . . . their being omnipresent, timeless and all.

Yes, Ps.69:9 makes it very clear that Mary had other children. See Mk.3:31-35
