Subject: Luther, Calvin and Zwingli on Mary |
Bible Note: 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). |
