1 | Luther, Calvin and Zwingli on Mary | Mark 6:3 | Emmaus | 79971 | ||
Jesus "the" son of Mary, not "a" son of Mary. Mark 6:3. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli, Sola Scriptura heros of the Reformation on the perpetual virginity of Mary. "It is an article of faith that Mary is mother of the Lord and still a virgin." Luther , Weimar edition of Martin Luther’s Works, English translation edited by J. Pelikan (Concordia, St Louis), Vol 24, 107 "The Council (Ephesus) has not offered anything new to faith but has strengthened the old faith against the arrogance of Nestorius. This article of faith-that Mary is the Mother of God- is present in the Church and is not a new creation of the Council but the presentation of the Gospel and scriptures." "In this work whereby she was made the Mother of God, so many and such good things were given that no on can grasp them." Luther, Weimar edition of Martin Luther’s Works, English translation edited by J. Pelikan (Concordia, St Louis), Vol 7, 572 "Helvidius has shown himself too ignorant, in saying that Mary had several sons, because mention is made in some passages of the brothers of Christ." Calvin, who here followed the traditional catholic interpretation to mean cousins or relatives. Bernard Leming, “protestants and Our lady”, Marian Library Studies, January 1967, p 9 "Elizabeth called Mary Mother of the Lord, because the unity of the person in the two natures of Christ was such that she could have said that the mortal man engendered in the womb of Mary was at the same time the eternal God." John Calvin, Calvini Opera (Calvins’ Works) (Braunshweig-Berlin, 1863-1900), Vol 45, 35 " It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of his Son, granted her the highest honor." Calvin, Calvini Opera (Calvins’ Works) (Braunshweig-Berlin, 1863-1900), Vol 45, 348 "I firmly believe that Mary, according to the words of the gospel as a pure Virgin brought forth for us the Son of God and in childbirth and after childbirth forever remained a pure, intact Virgin." Ulrich Zwingli, Zwingli Opera(Zwingli’s Works), Corpus Reformatorum, Vol 1, 424 |

The bible says what it says and that cannot be denied. Mary did not remain a virgin and is a sinner like all of us. Romans 3 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Not “for all except Mary” |

God, Mary's Savior You are right. Here is more information on the subject. "And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." Luke 1:47 (NASB) "1:47 *my Savior.* Mary referred to God as 'Savior,' indicating both that she recognized her own need of a Savior, and that she knew the true God as her Savior. Nothing here or anywhere else in Scripture indicates Mary thought of herself as 'immaculate' (free from the taint of original sin). Quite the opposite is true; she employed language typical of someone whose only hope for salvation is divine grace. Nothing in this passage lends support to the notion that Mary herself ought to be an object of adoration" (note at Luke 1:47, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |
