I think it is pretty clear. Mary is fully sanctified through her Son, Jesus Christ because she is currently in heaven at the foot of His throne, just like all the other sanctified saints. I cannot wait to be in the same place and spiritual condition someday.

Thats interesting, Jesus is my model, for the life being sanctified. Mary finished the race, she died! and was glorified in Christ. as will all those in Christ. The Saints!

Really? Jesus didn't need a Savior, Phil. He was not sanctified - He was perfect.

Mary did need a savior - she was sanctified and now she is in Heaven at the foot of the throne of God in worship - I am looking forward to being fully sanctified at the foot of the throne, just like Mary.

I'm not "centering things around Mary" any more than admiring the Sistine Chapel is ignoring Michelangelo. Mary is one of God's greatest creation; any attention she gets is admiration for God, who is her Creator.

Though upon another reread, I think I might have posted my previous comment with haste. Jesus didn't get a sinless nature from Mary, He indeed got it from God, but Mary needed to be conceived without sin for Jesus to manifest Himself inside her.

Jesus could have came to Earth as a 7 foot raider with ten billion cavalry, of course, but He came as a baby to an unwed mother, and He preserved her form Original Sin both for her benefit as a testament of His saving power and love.
Again, you take away God's part of the miracle birth of Jesus. Mary was NOT conceived without sin like your religion made up. Mary was under the Law just like everybody else was. In the end, just like everybody else, she had to accept Jesus as her Savior.

Jesus is my model for how we should live, Mary was a sinner just like you and me. do we now model ourselves on Human beings born into sin, or do we model our lives on Christ the sinless Saviour?

Mary is no different than any other saint.Jesus said Mary is no different than any other saint.Jesus said anyone is blessed as Mary that hears the word of God and does it.Jesus said whoever does the will of the Father the same is His mother,brethren,and sisters.Jesus always called Mary woman.

Mary had her labor and we have our labor but we are all saints of God and God gets the glory for Mary conceiving the child Christ Jesus.

Look at what Paul went through in the name of Christ.Why is he not put on a pedestal.Look at what Moses went through why is he not put on a pedestal.God gets the glory not people.

27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it(Luke 11:27).


46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother(Matthew 12:46-50).

3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come(John 2:3-4).

Matt

Well, Mary WAS in the Upper Room with everybody else when the Holy Spirit fell. They all were speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterence.
Mary was worshipping God with the rest of them. She was speaking in tongues!

Acts chapters 1 and 2 does not say anything about anybody worshipping, venerating or paying attention to Mary other than she was there doing what everybody else was doing.

How she got from THAT to where the RCC puts her is from centuries of people compromising their faith.
