A Textual Challenge to the “Mary and Joseph Had Later Relations” Position

[beechan]

Completely made up, of course. If Mary was sinless, then that means that SHE needed to be birthed from a sinless vessel. Where does it end?

Completely made up, of course. And it makes Mary special among all humans. Nobody else experienced this or has since. That elevates Mary far above her actual status.

Mary needs salvation as we do too.

Let use an analogy.
A man walked into a dirty pit, turned muddy and dirty. Jesus pulled him out of the pit, clean it. He is saved.

A woman walking to the pit. God pulls her away from the pit. The woman is not muddy or dirty because she has been saved before she even falls.

Are we not all sinned, (muddy and dirty) and saved by Jesus?
Only Mary is saved earlier and in anticipation of the fall.

In this sense, Mary is special among all humans. You are right!
