Yes, Christ said that and then did exactly what she asked Him to do: help her friends. Mary was Christ’s mother and, therefore, more special to Him than the average person. Mary was not a sinner: her DNA was used to create Christ’s, and God cannot join Himself to any imperfection. This means that Mary was sinless so that she could carry Christ and their blood could mingle.

The scriptures tell us that an archangel called her “blessed among all women” and “full of grace.” He said she had found favor with God and was selected for this honor. Christ performed His first miracle at her request. She walked to Calvary with Christ. She was revered by the apostles and with them for the Pentecost. Christ made sure His favorite apostle took care of her following His death. There is a lot of evidence in Scripture that Mary was extremely special to God and Christ.

This is so wrong as to be laughable. So now there are two perfect people? Then why wasn’t Mary crucified too? You are speaking the doctrine of Demons when you take the focus off of Christ. Mary did sin and Jesus did not hold her in any special accord. Where is this view even Biblical? Mary sinned and died, she cannot intercede for you, she is dead and she is not a saint. Her DNA had nothing to do with Christ for he was all God unless of course you believe that God pulled a Zeus and came down and slept with Mary, which would mean she is no longer a virgin, or he is half man/half god like in Greek Mythology, none of which is Biblical. Jesus never said you should honor Mary, other then saying honor thy mother and father which was presented for all believers. Which version is it?

So if Mary was sinless, she didn’t need a savior.

Could you really be claiming that Mary never sinned?

You really need to read your Bible.

Romans 3:23 - “for ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God”

Romans 3:10 “NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, no, not one”
