Subject: Virgin Mary |
Bible Note: Brian, That’s quite a stretch to say Mary was perfect when the Bible never states that. In fact, Mary, as the rest of us, was far from perfect and even she herself admitted to needing a savior. Luke 1: 46-48: 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. That to me seems far from perfection. Romans 3:23 – 25: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. She may have been a great disciple, but not a perfect one. If God’s Word does not declare something, we should use caution in making that declaration ourselves. Just my thoughts. Stand in HIS grace, WOS |
