Scripture for that? Chapter and verse?
As if the Holy of Holies would allow himself to be borne of a sinner.
Why not? He allowed Himself to eat with sinners and drink with sinners and touch sinners and die for sinners. Why would being carried by one be beneath His dignity?
Philippians 2:5-7 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Jesus is not a snob.
Look how the ark of the covenant was treated. It was very well respected. Mary is the living ark who bore the God-Man.
Scripture to support that? Where does it say that in the Bible?
If she’s good enough for Jesus, she’s good enough for me.
Where's the references to Him praying to her and lighting candles to her and bowing down to her?
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Scripture text: Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Yes indeed...someone please do. It isn't good enough they imagine "Mary being the living Ark"...as has been stated by the Vatican and Popes etc....it's just ridiculous thinking and has zip zero scripture to support it.
Can't hardly believe people actually put their faith in teaching as this, Metmom. But then if some believe a seared iron bottom full of residue projects an image of Christ...well then everything is then open to ones imagination.
The Vatican treats it's members like children to be entertained....what next can they enamor them with? All to keep them focused on "things" and "mystic thinking". It is appalling to say the least.
Just proves once again that if Rome says it is so ..to them it is so... no matter if it defies reason, knowledge and plain common sense. Let alone without any scripture backing apart from twisting and molding them beyond recognition.
“Look how the ark of the covenant was treated. It was very well respected.”
The ark became an object of superstition during the time of Samuel and God allowed it to fall into the hands of the Philistines. After Solomon there is no mention of the ark for over 500 years and then it is brought out of obscurity during Josiah’s reformation. It is taken to Babylon during the exile of Judah and not heard from again until the anti-type is revealed in Revelation.
This sinless nonsense only leads to idolatry. We see it everyday bowing down, kneeling, worshiping Mary. It is wrong.
If it was so essential for Jesus to be in a sinless environment why was he born in a stable. He was surrounded by animals, dirt and feces.
