Nobody is bashing Mary by telling the truth about her.
Problem is, those spreading the fantasies about Mary don’t like it when those fantasies are exposed as the unsupportable nonsense they are.
Mary was a virgin Jewish girl who happened to be of the correct lineage, who lived in the right time and place where circumstances would enable all the prophecy about Jesus birth and childhood to be fulfilled.
Making up stories about her being sinless, immaculately conceived, perpetually virgin, assumed and whatever else their fancy conjures up, and passing them off as truth does no one any favors, especially those duped into praying to her for favors as if she can do anything for them.
Hey, if you find happiness by trashing the Mother of Our Lord and Savior, I won’t stand in the way.
Thousands of years of theological study and discussion give way to your prejudice.
You win the thread, I suppose.
“Mary was a virgin Jewish girl who happened to be of the correct lineage, who lived in the right time and place where circumstances would enable all the prophecy about Jesus (sic) birth and childhood to be fulfilled”
You know, I just can’t comprehend how someone believing all that is Scriptural can pose an hypothesis like this.
If God is the truly all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God that we should believe He is, then a virgin Jewish girl doesn’t just happen to be of the correct lineage, at the right time, in the right place for fulfillment of prophecy.
The all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God knew from all eternity that He would CREATE Mary, that He would create her for the purpose of giving birth to his Only-Begotten Son, that He would bring her into the world at the time and place of his choosing for the miracle of the Virgin Birth of His Son—He willed this from all eternity. It was not just a random series of people, places and times. She existed in God’s eternal Now.
Jesus doesn’t like His mom being dissed....anymore than you would like it if your mom was dissed. We’ll have this settled on Judgement Day, now won’t we?
