Please support with scripture?

Jesus’ ancestors were all sinners.

What God's angel said she was. Kecharitomene.

Means "full of grace." The opposite of "full on sin."

To put it in the strongest way, the angel precedes it with "Chaire," which grammatically is always followed with either a name or a title, which in English would be capitalized.

So, "Hail, O Lady Full-of-Grace!"

Unique in Scriptures.

Only one other human person, Stephen, is described as "full of grace," but-- different words -- as an adjective phrase, not as his NAME or TILE. (Name and title are highly significant in Scripturees: when God addresses you by a new name, that's how God sees your identity.)

No, Mary's not a goddess. Jesus her Son is God and is her Savior.

She needed a Savior because He saved her from sin-- before she even fell into it. Its He who filled her with grace.

Hence we learn of this through the beautiful and unparalleled greeting of the Angel.

Tagline.
