Mary never had sins that needed washing away in the first place. She was CONCEIVED without sin or the angel Gabriel lied.
The statement you just uttered is blasphemous!!! What arrogance and audacity!!! Who gave you the authority to change what God has stipulated in His word?
God said that both Jews and Gentiles are
all under sin: As it is written, there is
none righteous, no, not one: There is
none that understand: they are
all gone out of the way: they are together become u
nprofitable, there is
none that doeth
good,
no, not one. R

For
all have sinned and come short to the glory of God. Romans 3:23
...and so, death passed upon
all men, for that
all have sinned. Romans 5:12
According to the Scriptures above, by definition and
without exception, including Mary as well, all are sinners. Therefore, to become saved we need a Savior and that is the picture Mary illustrated in her Magnificat. She too needed a Savior. She stands on the same ground with all children of God
When we went to grade school, did our teacher give us a French book to study English? No! Likewise, to learn the things of God, we consult the Bible as it is the ultimate sourcebook of truth. Or, not any other books, or commentaries. Don’t get me wrong. Commentaries are a “help”
only if the writer is faithful to the Word. And, not because he has a doctorate signature in front of or after his name, for his best work is still tainted by sin no matter how holy the text may seem, or that, the writer has a good reputation. This is the reasons I don’t read commentaries or in man’s traditions, for fear that if I read something about the things of God, did it come from the Bible or in other sources. If it’s not in the Bible, God did not say or do it!
“Highly favoured” (kecharitomene).
The term “highly favored” merely means that Mary was blessed because she was “
chosen” to give the Lord Jesus a human nature. Nothing special as your church make her out to be.
However, there is one person God acknowledged that was born among women that have not risen greater than John the Baptist. For a smart person as you who seem to think he knows the things of God, do you know the reason no one is greater than John? I would be surprised if you did.
If I were you, I would delete the picture logo on the bottom of your posts. It paints a bad connotation to others, as there were never three wise men. It would take a caravan to travel long distances in those days. Secondly, there’s
none that seeks after God,
no, not one. Romans 3:11
To God Be The Glory
