Subject: why jesus had not allowed mary to touch |
Bible Note: flinky, Thesis ? How about good biblical theology? :-) You also said in the other post, "Good thing Mary was so reasonable; other wise, we might have had a different NT." No sir, Mary is not what determined the outcome. The Lord God is the sovereign God over His creation and it is His plan being worked out in His creation (Psalm 103:19, Psalm 4:8, Psalm 66:7, Galatians 1:15, Luke 1:52, Matthew 5:45, Genesis 50:20, Proverbs 21:1, Genesis 1 and 2). This is not to add to nor detract from Mary at all. Only to point out that God almighty Himself is sovereign and nothing Mary could have done or would have done would have changed the NT. Agreed?
