“Weirdo”?
It’s hilarious how YOU constantly accuse me of “name-calling” – yet it’s YOU who engages in name-calling and NOT me. “Weirdo”, “dunce”, “idiot”, etc. – you’re FULL of them.
So? You do namecall.
As for Scripture NOT implying that Mary was born sinless – that is incorrect.
Disagree.
It doesn’t explicitly say that she was
Correct.
but it certainly does IMPLICITLY.
Disagree.
Remember – Scripture teaches us BOTH explicitly AND implicitly.
THAT ^ is "YOUR" memory.
MY memory of Scripture IS;
Who, What, When, Why & Where IS Expressly Taught...AND....
His WILL...SHALL Be Done\
It is explicitly taught by Scripture that Mary gave birth to the New Covenant, Jesus.
Mary gave birth to the New Covenant?
No she didn't.
Jesus IS the New Covenant?
No He isn't.
A Covenant, isn't a birth or Jesus.
A Covenant is a Promise.
Mary is the
Ark of the New Covenant – the
fulfillment of the
Ark of the Covenant. Here is a Scriptural comparison of the
Type and
Fulfillment between the Old Ark and the New Ark:
OT - The Word was written by God on
Tablets of Stone (Ex. 25:10) placed inside the
Ark (Deut. 10:1)
NT - The Word of God became
Flesh (John 1) conceived inside
Mary (Luke 2:38) Mary carried the Word of God.
OT - "Who am I that the
Ark of my Lord should come to me?"
(2 Sam. 6:9
NT - "Who am I that the
mother of my Lord should come to me?"
(Luke 1:43)
OT - The When the Ark carrying the Word of God returned “David was
leaping and dancing before the Lord”
(2 Sam. 6:14)
NT - When Mary came into Elizabeth's presence carrying the word of God, the baby
“leaped for joy” in Elizabeth's womb
(Luke 2:38)
OT - The
Ark carrying the Word of God is brought to the house of Obed-Edom in the hill country if Judea for
3 months, where it was a blessing.
(2 Sam. 6:11)
NT - Mary (the new Ark) carrying the Word of God goes to Elizabeth's house in the hill country if Judea for
3 months, where she is a blessing
(Luke 1:56)
OT - The Ark is captured
(1 Sam 4:11) and brought to a foreign land and later returns
(1 Sam 6:13)
NT - Mary (the new Ark) is exiled to a foreign land (Egypt) and later returns
(Matt. 2:14)
OT - The On the
Day of the Dedication of the Temple which Solomon built, there were
120 priests present
(2 Chron. 5:11). The
Ark of the covenant was carried into the Temple
(2 Chron. 5:7) and
fire came down from Heaven to consume the burnt offering
(2 Chron. 7:7).
NT - The On the
Day of Pentecost, there were
120 disciples of Jesus present in the Upper Room
(Acts 1:15). Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the
Ark of the NEW Covenant was also present while the
Holy Spirit came down as tongues of
fire (Acts 2:3).
The
Ark of the Covenant was
purified and blessed inside and out when it was created.
It is fitting that the
Ark of the NEW Covenant would
ALSO be
purified and blessed during her creation.
The Angel’s greeting of
“Kecharitomene” supports this position.[/QUOTE]
First you have to MAKE Jesus the "Covenant", then you have to MAKE Mary the "Ark".
Jesus is the Word of God.
The Word of God, CAME FORTH OUT FROM Gods MOUTH (in Heaven) and BY the POWER of God...was SENT TO a Virgin Womb of a Jewish Woman, AND The Word of God would be BORN...According to the Law of Nature {coming forth from the Virgins Womb, AFTER she Married and ( 9 months later), and the that which came forth from her Womb, WOULD APPEAR in a Body, prepared of God, in the LIKENESS of earthy men.
It is the Word of God, that came Forth.
It is the Word of God, WHO revealed the Promises of the New Covenant.
It is Mary, who was According to Roman Law and Jewish Law, the baby's Mother.
It is Jesus, who was According to Roman Law and Jewish Law, the "natural" son and descendent of Mary and Joseph.
It is Jesus who was revealed IS the Lord from Heaven, the Word of God, God Himself.
It is Jesus who was revealed IS the Christ, who is the POWER of God and WISDOM of God.
It is Jesus who was revealed IS the SEED of God.
It is Jesus who was revealed IS the Quickening SPIrIT.
It is WHEN a man IS forgiven;
A mans BODY DIES;
A mans SOUL is RESTORED;
A mans SPIRIT is QUICKENED;
The man is PREPARED to be RISEN IN GLORY.
Dead in Christ bodies, Saved souls, Quickened Spirits, ARE already forgiven their SINS...and sin NO MORE.
They receive Grace, Blessings, Gifts, Promises, Common Ways to Serve Christ, Specific Ways to Serve Christ,
God WITH them, They IN Christ...
No man HAS YET received his Glorified Body.
You are trying to MAKE, Grace "given to Mary" as "MAKING" her "SINLESS".
It was JESUS who was EXPRESSLY taught IN Scripture is SINLESS....NOT Mary.
Dude NO earthy person has been RAISED in a New Glorious SINLESS BODY.
Mary was conceived in her mother Just like every other human....With a human mans corrupt seed.
There are No marriages of humans in Heaven.
There are No Mothers IN Heaven.
There are NO humans bodies IN Heaven.
There ARE, Saved souls and Quickened spirits OF Humans IN Heaven, called SAINTS, Because their Body's SHALL be raised IN Glory, According TO the Lord Gods Covenant.
The Straight forward Scriptural Teaching Does NOT Require Implication, and the Stretching of the Truth to INCLUDE what men have counjoured up in their minds.
Remember the Carnal Mind is Against God.
And so much of what the Catholics Teach AS FACTS, is no more than what men conjoured up in their minds.
So, yet again, I do not agree with you.
Glory to God,
Taken
