So he did not rebuke her but since she knew she was his first disciple, the knew she was his mother but also the mother of us all. She is woman, the new Eve. One of only three created human beings who were born without original sin. The general Protestant version of Mary is amazingly anti-woman and sad. Even Luther venerated Mary so I’m guessing because I don’t really want to do the research that it was Calvin who was so anti-mary. This was the second iconoclasm.

You fling a lot of stuff at the walls, but there is no Scriptural support for your specious claims. Mary was rebuked by Jesus. That is a Scriptural fact. (John 2: 4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

One of three created without "original sin"? Another specious myth from the roman Catholic cult. Even Jesus was created as a mortal human. But, the "God" part of Him was free of sin and capable of overcoming sin. He is the ONLY One so created. He is the ONLY One sacrificed for OUR sins. He is the ONLY Mediator between God and man.

Roman Catholic indoctrination makes it difficult to see the forest for the trees. It offers myths and subtle sorcery to obfuscate the reality of God's plan. It claims the necessity of mystical rites and ordinances that substitute for relationship with God.

But, I will continue to pray for those scales to fall! The Holy Spirit gives me ALL the help I need.

One of three created without sin???? How do Catholics claim the other two are?

[ealgeone]

Anti-woman if we point out the false teachings of catholicism on Mary???? That is one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve heard on this board. Thought I was reading the huffington post or the onion for a second.

Oh?

The Protestant version of Mary is amazingly PRO-bible and lacking any visiting visions.

Sinless Mary??

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD.
--somewhere in the Bible.

If a person has NOT sinned; then they evidently SHARE in the Glory of GOD.
--the bible says something about that; too...
