Hi Shamariel,

My comments are in blue.


Here is my own argument that she was sinless using evidence

To answer the first part of your defense, I must say the bible says very little about Mother Mary for it is not by her we are saved, nor is her own blessed dependence by which matters in our faith as Christians. For this is not a debate about divinity, for Christ alone is Divine. This is just a lesser debate about the blessed Mother Mary of which we have only a few passages to look at. Therefore we must use theology in the process of determination by using other scriptures to fulfill and speak of this matter, for granted the exact verse stating she was sinless is not existing. Yet this does not mean there is no evidence in my own argument, for there is a process that can be shown and that you have the right to defend against my own theology of this, the subject at hand, which of course has nothing to do with the fact that Jesus Christ is the Only God.

But Rather, it is important to note that there is no direct scripture that states Jesus Christ is Fully Man and also Fully God in a direct declaration of a single verse, of which both are able to be conceived by the multiple verses which show so many declarations of Christ as both fully man and fully God. Therefore their is still evidence that Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God, though we can use the biblical scriptures to decipher with ease that Christ is both.

Indeed the reality is that Christ is both fully man and fully God comes into evidence in my own argument of this very case! For we all know that to make Christ more God than man is Gnostic. Nor can we take Christ as more human than God and thus follow a false Jesus and disobey even the making of the canon of the new testament, which is another subject thesis in itself.

So thus in the immaculate conception, I am stating in my own argument, that it is the Holy Spirit which overshadowed Mother Mary which was the Divinity of God. And because Mother Mary is fully human, I argue that this is where Christ gained his full humanity.

Yet to say that she was sinful and had a flesh nature would say that, yea even through her own blood would have thus made the infant Jesus in a contamination of sin upon his flesh, of which Mother Mary was Fully woman and that Christ gained his full humanity from her. For to say that she had any divinity would take away from Christ's Humanity, and thus make him more as divine, of which stated is Gnostic entirely.

Yet in this to take away from Christ's own Divinity to make him more man than God is to say Mother Mary could not be A full human. Yet to determine that it is not the flesh nature that makes us human, for God created both Male and female in his image, even as Adam was a man created in the image of God before his expulsion from Eden is to actually declare the opposite of this; for he was human only because of his Dependence upon God. For in his choice to disobey his own full dependence on God, he became as we are all born with a flesh nature, by which we are called animals and brute beasts of carnal pleasure until we see the Light of God, the holy Lord Jesus Christ.

For Death came through one man and the curse is well noted, for we know that Christ had overcome with his victory upon saying where death is thy sting? Yet it is also important that Eve had forth a curse for being deceived in which, her desire would be for her husband and he shall rule over you, and also that her pain of childbirth would increase and her child shall crush the head of the serpent, of which is the devil and Satan.

To thus, overcome the curse of Eve of which her desire shall be for her husband, which is in all women, would there not be a woman who would not have desired to be over her husband upon conception, even to allow him to rule over her? Even to say that in Childbearing her child would crush the head of the serpent? IF then this woman did exist, let us say in hypothesis that this would be the Mother Mary, for the Madonna became as with child, and that child was fully man from her own blood, and fully God from the Holy Spirit which overshadowed her. For I can see no other woman that could have been that to be this second eve except this blessed Virgin Mother Mary.

There is no second Eve. There's no mention of a 2nd Eve, no scripture to support this. You're allowing your imagination to take over here.

Yet then, to say in Hypothesis that this was so, can we test other scripture and evidence to see if this be so, or is there lack of evidence to support an argument to this hypothesis, for this we now must see.

To say then, that the second eve was fully human, yet with no divinity is easy, for even eve was not divine, but submitted unto God in Complete Dependence. IF then your argument means that complete dependence on God means that one has no choice, I will ask why then did Adam Choose to eat of the tree, though he was dependent on God fully. I argue that the devil, Satan in temptation offered a different path to God thus bringing deceit into Eve’s existence for the first time in her life in the Garden of Eden, of which her own choice was to eat and deceive her husband who ate full knowing.

IF then a second eve was made it was made to be submitted fully unto God, even in full dependence as a woman should submit without having desire to be over him at all, less the woman be not a second eve.

Thus the word blessed must come to a woman who would be MOST blessed among all women, because she was made to be the second eve in this hypothesis of which we are in examination.

Yet it is in full dependence on God that Adam and Eve were born without the stain of sin. Yet then, because we have all sinned for being born in sin we are not fully dependent on God as was Adam and Eve in the garden before their fall; yea even though God desires full dependence of which what man who lived on earth can say he has ever reached? No man can say, for the matter is we are born of sin.

You speak in circles and it's difficult to follow your reasoning. But you're not using any scripture support for anything your saying. There is no 2nd Eve. To even imply that is a figment of your own
imagination.

Anyone can come up with all kinds of scenarios, but without biblical support, which you don't have, your hypothesis must be rejected.


Yet to take the scripture for all have sinned and fall short the Glory of God is to assume rightly that all who are born with a flesh nature have sinned, just by being born.

Yet it is easy for God to make a second eve, which is both fully human and fully dependent to bear his son so that no stain of sin would be found upon his flesh, lest he be a lamb with blemish.

​The seed of Jesus was from God when the Holy Spirit moved upon her and God miraculously created life within her womb. That seed was divine. Not human. There is no blemish not because of Mary, but because the seed came from God Himself.

For if she was created without a flesh nature as a second eve, then she is excluded from the context of the scripture of Romans 3:23 for Mother Mary was not Deprived of God, for the Glory of God was with her as was even said by the angel who said the Lord is with thee, of which is noted Gabriel by name. IF then the Glory of God is deprived for all have sinned, how can a woman know the glory of God, even to see that in her was the Christ unless she be excluded in Romans 3:23 for it was written that all have sinned and are deprived the Glory of God. So thus, The Mother of the King is exempt.

Your imagination is running wild. Again, no scriptural support for any of this. She falls into the same category as we do. She was a fleshly, carnal woman who sinned. God is not a man that He should lie. Mary had to bring sin offerings to the temple. Just the fact that she had a child she had to bring offerings for her uncleanness. You're misquoting Romans 3:23. We're not deprived of God's glory, we fall short of God's glory. In other words we don't measure up to His holiness, His righteousness. We sin, we fall short, we're not perfect like He is.


Yet then to believe that God had a special calling upon her for her dependence upon him as the second eve, thus knowing no flesh nature; for we must continue this argument to full completion, is also to say that she was sinless by choice and to be as God’s handmaiden. So thus she could not desire anything other than what God demanded and upon hearing the meaning of it, she would immediately submit. Thus Christ’s full humanity is a stainless, spotless lamb of man, and fully God for the Holy spirit had overshadowed her.

Again, she's not the second Eve. And you can't find any human being that can claim they haven't sinned. I'm sorry but Mary is just like you and me. She sinned and needed a Savior like we all do.


To know Man’s touch would combine her with a sinful man, for all who were born in the depravity and the two would become one. Thus after Christ was conceived she remained a virgin, for it is never Christ’s will for anyone to know sin and thus Joseph could not have touched her, lest she know sin and that is against the will of God, and further to say that the womb that bore his own son should not be defiled. For in full dependence she would have submitted unto this very statement of not being defiled, else she not be the second eve in the first place.

Do you even read God's word? Mary had other children. I could go and look up the verses, but you would probably reject them since you're not using scripture here to prove your hypothesis.


Is it Mother Mary as an individual that is blessed for her full dependence on Jesus? To which Jesus replied, Rather blessed are those who learn dependence, for those are his mothers and brothers and sisters.

Well I guess I'll get one of the verses about Mary's other children since you're misquoting this verse.

Matthew 12:46-50
While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

Notice that
Jesus isn't saying dependance upon. It's whoever obeys God.

And Jesus is downplaying His mother and His brothers. What's more important is the spiritual family rather than the natural family. No one was to be exalted as more holy just because in the natural they were His mother or His brothers. It's being born of the Spirit that counts. That's where true family is found.


So thus, about the actual ascension of Mother Mary, if she had no flesh nature to be prepared for the blessed King Jesus Christ, fully man and fully God, she would not have ever been even made a grave, for without flesh nature there is no physical grave, and without the stain of sin she could not die, so thus either she is still on earth somewhere, fully submitted or she ascended into heaven. There is more evidence in assuming the latter.

This is all conjecture. There's no scriptural support for any of this. She died like we all do. It is appointed unto man that all die and then comes judgement. Mary died just like everyone else did. Even Jesus died. Mary is holier than He?

Just accept the scriptures as truth. Jesus was the only sinless person without spot or blemish. He became our
sacrificial lamb that takes away the sin of the world. He had to take away Mary's sin as well.

If then, we know God can do all things, yea all things of righteousness, we cannot become indignant and say God would not have used this method as was believed by the early church of Mother Mary, but instead learn to grow, unless you have a more valid argument of which I will listen.

The early church did not believe this. It wasn't a dogma
until 431. That's almost 400 years without this belief.

In conclusion, let us remember that Mother Mary is not divine, Fully human, yet fully dependent and let us also remember that it is her son the Christ that is our God and lay this smaller matter to rest and remember and preach only Christ and him crucified.

In love is all of these words of encouragement, blessings and peace in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord;

I hate to be bluntly honest, but these are not words of
encouragement, blessings nor peace. It's all lies. I'd like to encourage you to go and read your bible and don't accept any teaching or doctrine that's not clearly written in God's word.

What you've written here is a doctrine of demons. And it's blasphemy. Sorry again to be so forthright, but you need to hear this because you're following man's wisdom and not at all following God nor His word.


Amen

no one is born a sinner, or inherits the sins of the father/mother, but rather the soul that sinneth it shall die Ezek 18. Man suffers the consequences of being born into a sinful world because of Adam's disobedience. Jesus being fully human and made in every way the same as us, taking on human flesh, and also suffered these consequences. He was raised, loved, and disciplined by godly parents, and through suffering He learned obedience...His miracles were that of a man operating through the Spirit, and not of His God powers of the which He had set aside to come into the world being a lowly servant. Jesus being fully man would have been born in sin like any other person if the myth of original sin were true. Put praise God its is not true, but rather fables of men...
So Jesus did not need to be born sinless? Then neither did Mary.

You have negated the very dogma you seek to defend! How very odd...

Still waiting for scripture....your brothers and sisters in Christ are trying to share the truth with you. Humble yourself and ask the Lord Jesus to reveal the truth to you and He will. Don't assume you understand because you study apologetics. Ultimately the Holy Spirit converts the heart. I will pray that the Lord open your eyes to the truth because you have made up your mind to not listen to everyone here.
If then it is only scripture that makes your own defense, who gives you the theology to explain it. Does it say beyond a shadow of a doubt in one passage that Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God? Yet this is vital for a theologian. IT does say Christ is both King and priest. Yet this paper is a matter of theology, and yet to say you need a direct verse, where does it say the apologetics of how to determine whether something is Gnostic or not. Yet without a verse you would not believe in the actual scholars?

Totally un Biblical.. Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit and was sinless from the beginning to the end of His life.. All humans who live past the age of innocence will sin.. Jesus did not work his way to becoming sinless to being divine.. Jesus was born that way.. Jesus existed with God in the beginning and was God and still is God. God that was manifested in the flesh..

Was she born in the flesh after Adam or not? That is all one needs to know.
absolutely, and so was Jesus for that matter...we did not inherit sin in the flesh, it is not some fraken-malady lurking in the flesh, it is not a thing, it has no atomic weight, nor dimension, nor can it be seen under a microscope, but rather its a choice of the soul..the idea of OS came from Plato, and Augustine brought it into the church, and it has become bedrock in the minds of Christians for 1600 years. It was not taught the first 350 years of the church, nor can it be found in scripture...Jesus never addressed anyone for being born wicked, (born in sin), but rather for doing wicked acts, and thinking wicked thoughts..If you were born that way you have nothing to fear from God, for He is just, and would not judge someone that He created sinful (the common sense of the LOGOS of God) yes? The truth is rebellious men make themselves sinners, thus are justly subject to the judgement of God. Would God tell Cain He could rule over sin in his life if Cain were born that way? Certainly not! But rather He would have to go back and apologize to Cain for making him that way, and unjustly judging him, if that myth were true..And yes, I know, the next step is the reading of Psalms 51, and 58 out of context to justify the false belief..So please do, and I will address all of that with the full weight of Gods' counsel using sound scripture..

Wow, just coming to learn how NOT Scriptural your beliefs are! The flesh is enmity to God, and yes, we are born of the flesh in/after Adam and are enemies of God until we are born again of the Holy Spirit of God. Mary was born the same way. Jesus did not have an earthly father.

Jesus was born of mans flesh just like you and me in every way says the book of Hebrews. His seed line goes all the way back to Adam the son of God in Luke 3. It has nothing to do with who the father is to be born in the flesh. If you remember Eve was taken from Adams' rib. And what did Adam say about that. She is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone. However, the life is in the blood, and the soul is created by God. all you inherited from Adam was your flesh and bone, they are in of themselves sinful. Its whatevil you choose willfully to do while being embodied in the flesh that is sinful. Born in sinful flesh is an ancient Roman Catholic heresy and is not found in the text. We inhearited the consequences of Adams' sin for our own good said the apostle Paul, being made subject to vanity by a much wiser being than ourselves do we suffer infirmities and physical death.

Jesus was fully man, Mary was not a sarogot mother, but rather it was her egg from which Jesus humanity was derived..The seed of the woman that would bruise the serpents head, Gen 3...In fact Jesus is fully man right now as we speak and will forever be so..Notwithstanding He is also fully God, and the 2nd person of the Divine Triune Godhead. Yes, a great mystery, as Pakl said, and not fully comprehendable by the human mind, none the less it is true...

Yes, the seed of Abraham was the promised blessing to the whole world and has nothing to do with Jesus having an earthly father, for Jesus is the seed that was spoken of, for he came to be a blessing to the whole world by becoming sin for us and paying the penalty of sin which is death. Sin entered the world by one man and man's seed (seed being used in the usual sense there) had no play in the conception of Jesus, for He was sired via the overshadowing of Mary by the Holy Spirit of God. Otherwise Jesus would have just been a man, and we know He was not, or is that what you are trying to say? Mary had both an earthly mother and father. JESUS DID NOT.

Do you deny John chapter one, which CLEARLY states that
Jesus is God, as the Word Who took on flesh to walk among us?
Even that verse does not tell you how much he was man or how much he was the word of God in a single scripture beyond a shadow of a doubt. I believe Christ is fully man and fully God. The fact is that I came to have a simple theology discussion. Many of the things that have been accused of me were not sound, nor does any of you read even catholic apologetics, only knowing what your protestant denominations say and would embaress your own theologians and people who defend your own faith according to the rules of apologetics and many of you have shown you have no EVIDENCE and to say that the bible is the verses which make EVIDENCE when you do not understand the word EVIDENCE in apologetics even to sit and say things like it was clear that mother mary slept with Joseph because Christ had borthers and sisters, shows you have no knowledge of ISRAELITE CUSTOMS and that you take into account that what you wish to take into account, and if I was a lost soul most of you have not made any attempts to put up a defense for your faith with EVIDENCE, but take many things out of context. Because you assume I am worshiping mother mary, when my thesis says she was fully human, with no ounce of divinity, and you further your own lack of understanding of how theology is assessed, and it seems you assume sinless means that I am saying Goddes, when if thats how you think you are thinking that adam and eve were gods until they believed satans lie that they shall be as gods. Because to you the word perfect means worship, not Dependence on God. You cannot even take into account that God can make someone sinless without being a divinity, and that because she was the mother of God and bore the glory of God that somehow she is still subject to falling short of the glory of God. Never once thinking or analyzing, but being your own judges based on your own EXPERIENCE and therefore instead of putting a discourse, of which how many of you know the meaning of that, you showed no evidence of why you believe scripture, but the fact you believe what you want to believe about scripture, and you probably dont even know the difference if this is what you say. And Who has even studied both sides of the coin among you to understand points that were valid by even your own theologians of your own faith even in opposition to the roman catholic of which I am not even one of the roman catholics, much less not once did I say she was a goddess, or meant to be worshipped and in my own theology I even said it had nothing to do with God dying for our sins and was a lesser issue, and I am accussed of the doctrine of demons, when the word DOCTRINE was not even used in the right context upon the examination. And this is the Last post I will make, because I thought there would be people who would not be indignant or hate me because I said something, even saying in my discourse that if there was a better argument I would listen. and instead am looking at posts of which are neverending shreds of attacks without any EVIDENCE and taken out of context because you will all shred whatever you want to however you want to because you dont like the concept of what I said. Even if I was lost how did you minister the gospel as a chazllengge to all on this post. Inside your hearts was their hate and condemnation towards me? Or did you do everything in love? I pray that you guys take time to understand the world of DEBATING and understand the laws therein and in the future be prepared to do a better job in defending what you believe with love that we are all part of the body of Christ as a catholic church. Yet because I said catholic you would probably assume I meant roman catholic which is not the same, for catholic means universal and is even mentioned in the apostle's creed that protestants use, and therefore I have nothing left here because I will not debate in this with people who lack understanding and wont even look for anything but an excuse to justify the self righteousness that they alone are right and who cares if EVIDENCE says otherwise. EVen if EVIDENCE DID say otherwise than my own EVIDENCE you still cannot say you did anything right at all. I assumed you all would behave as studied christians, not as those who do not learn of how to give a defense in their faith. That is all, I wont say anything else, because I am sure all of this will be shredded into the ultimate hells of accusations and indignance.

LOL. You came here to promote and defend Mariology and you can show nothing to support it Scripturally, instead you go off on ad hom attacks and talking about how there is nothing to prove Jesus was both man and God, though you are WRONG.

1 Peter 2:4-8
And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!” Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).

John reiterates the concept of Jesus’ deity: “The Word [Jesus] was God” and “the Word became flesh” (
John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28tells us, “Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.” Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. And this same verse declares that God purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!

Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (
John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The Father refers to Jesus as “O God,” indicating that Jesus is indeed God.

In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship God (
Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation did. There are many other passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity.

The most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (
1 John 2:2). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death.
I hope that helps :) https://gotquestions.org/is-Jesus-God.html

Question: "Is Jesus God in the flesh? Why is it
important that Jesus is God in the flesh?"

Answer:
Since Jesus’ conception by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the
virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38), the real identity of Jesus Christ has always been questioned by skeptics. It began with Mary's fiancé, Joseph, who was afraid to marry her when she revealed that she was pregnant (Matthew 1:18-24). He took her as his wife only after the angel confirmed to him that the child she carried was the Son of God.

Hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of God's Son: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (
Isaiah 9:6). When the angel spoke to Joseph and announced the impending birth of Jesus, he alluded to Isaiah’s prophecy: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call himImmanuel (which means ‘God with us’)" (Matthew 1:23). This did not mean they were to name the baby Immanuel; it meant that "God with us" was the baby’s identity. Jesus was God coming in the flesh to dwell with man.

Jesus Himself understood the speculation about His identity. He asked His disciples,
"Who do people say that I am?" (Matthew 16:13; Mark 8:27). The answers varied, as they do today. Then Jesus asked a more pressing question: "Who do you say that I am?" (Matthew 16:15). Peter gave the right answer: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). Jesus affirmed the truth of Peter’s answer and promised that, upon that truth, He would build His church (Matthew 16:18).

The true nature and identity of Jesus Christ has eternal significance. Every person must answer the question Jesus asked His disciples:
"Who do you say that I am?"

He gave us the correct answer in many ways. In
John 14:9-10, Jesus said, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work."

The Bible is clear about the divine nature of the Lord Jesus Christ (see
John 1:1-14).Philippians 2:6-7 says that, although Jesus was "in very nature God, He did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." Colossians 2:9 says, “In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”

Jesus is fully God and fully man, and the fact of His
incarnation is of utmost importance. He lived a human life but did not possess a sin nature as we do. He was tempted but never sinned (Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:15). Sin entered the world through Adam, and Adam’s sinful nature has been transferred to every baby born into the world (Romans 5:12)—except for Jesus. Because Jesus did not have a human father, He did not inherit a sin nature. He possessed the divine nature from His Heavenly Father.

Jesus had to meet all the requirements of a holy God before He could be an acceptable sacrifice for our sin (
John 8:29; Hebrews 9:14). He had to fulfill over three hundred prophecies about the Messiah that God, through the prophets, had foretold (Matthew 4:13-14; Luke 22:37;Isaiah 53; Micah 5:2).

Since the fall of man (
Genesis 3:21-23), the only way to be made right with God has been the blood of an innocent sacrifice (Leviticus 9:2; Numbers 28:19; Deuteronomy 15:21;Hebrews 9:22). Jesus was the final, perfect sacrifice that satisfied forever God's wrath against sin (Hebrews 10:14). His divine nature made Him fit for the work of Redeemer; His human body allowed Him to shed the blood necessary to redeem. No human being with a sin nature could pay such a debt. No one else could meet the requirements to become the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world (Matthew 26:28; 1 John 2:2). If Jesus were merely a good man as some claim, then He had a sin nature and was not perfect. In that case, His death and resurrection would have no power to save anyone.

Because Jesus was God in the flesh, He alone could pay the debt we owed to God. His victory over death and the grave won the victory for everyone who puts their trust in Him (
John 1:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 17). I hope that helps :)

This is a gateway doctrine. It opens the door to co-redeemer doctrines. It opens the door to co-intercessor doctrines. It opens the door to assumption doctrines, Mary did not die but was assumed into heaven.

God used Mary as a vessel through which a body was prepared for the incarnation of Christ the Messiah. A great honor and desired by every young Hebrew virgin even to this day.

Mary was blessed of God and an example of Gods goodness.

Mary had other children and having seen her Savior died, was buried, and will one day be glorified together with her Messiah.

The Roman catholic church has long promoted this unbiblical doctrine. It serves to draw souls away from the truth that Jesus is the only way to be saved.

No man comes to the Father but by Me.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

For the cause of Christ
