‘full of grace’ ‘the Lord is with thee.’Lk 1:28 And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.
why is Mary declared blessed in this verse?
I don't really know your point here. I thought it was obvious. The is no other hidden reason for Mary being blessed by YHWH.No that blessed is in verse 45 & 48
But She was declared “blessed” before She consented to be the mother of the savior.
so why was She blessed?
And that should suffice. But it is not enough for those who practice Maryolatry.What an honor and a great blessing, unique among other women.
She consented to our salvation in vs 38
You must be a idol-worshipping believer. One that uses scripture to support your pagan ways. SadI think the first declaration of Blessed is connected to “full of grace” or that it is an indication of Her immaculate conception!
reference Lk 1:49! Also For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
things (pleural) one is the immaculate conception the other is the Holy Spirit vs 35
Only God can be worshiped!
Mary cooperated in our salvation? Mary was a unique and blessed instrument of God, but do you really believe that she understood what salvation through her Son--God the Son-- meant before He was born? She is the mother of our Savior, and as His mother should be highly respected, but she is not the mother of our salvation, which is through Jesus Christ alone.As eve cooperated in the fall of man it is fitting that Mary cooperated in our salvation, after all she is the mother of our savior, and the mother of our salvation!
Because she was not a common Sinner in fact. She was Pure in heart !Why was Mary so "favored" by God if she was just a common sinner as protestants profess?
Because she was not a common Sinner in fact. She was Pure in heart !
She was chosen and she said yes to Gods will.
Now many claim that she was a nothing picked out in random ? no ! she was the one, God knows who he comes for, but then again he asks of their free will, he never demands it.
It's just like a vocation she consented too, not a job like others may claim.
All true Priest have a calling, you do not take such on as a job, such is a vocation to the end.
As to the excessive Mary devotion some RCC do, that's just nothing but religious dribble and nothing to do with Christ Jesus, such rubbish is typical of they who are only religious, no religion never saved anyone. only Christ Jesus Saves.
Mary does not save, She is a Saint.
Saints be praised ! yes praised as such they give us strength in our life. we seen them struggle and like wise we take on the challenge with such strength and determination, come hell or high water.
well of course she will become the mom of the son of God christ jesusLk 1:28 And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.
why is Mary declared blessed in this verse?
she is blessed among women
but women/men who listen and keeps the LORD God's commandments are more blessed
He is referring to Luke 11:28, which is actually a reference to the mother of Jesus:So ordinary Christians are more blessed than Mary?
