Tell us the sins of the Holy Mother of Christ.

I'm sure Jesus will enjoy hearing you trash-talk His Mother.

Luke 1:“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
In Jewish thought back then and today, one is saved and redeemed by being part of the saved and redeemed people.

You don't think Mary (in her early teens, don't forget) was saved by accepting YHVH into her heart as her personal savior, do you?

Can you imagine how Jesus feels about the amount of people who ridicule His Holy mother?

I truly believe that as a Catholic, my church acknowledges Mary in the correct and only way. We do not worship our Holy Mother. We venerate her. We love Her. We ask Her to intercede to Her son for us.

Catholicism is NOT Sola Scripture!

This is an old teaching of the Church--all of the pre-Reformation ones, anyway.

There are two ways of being saved from falling into a pit. One is to rescued after you have fallen in. The other way is to be kept from falling into the pit to start with.

We believe that by God's grace, which which of Holy Virgin always cooperated, preserved her from sin.

I guess that's part of the problem, the tradition differs between Catholics and Orthodox, so which one is correct?

Thank you in advance.

Agree, I don't understand why so many people talk trash about the Mother of their Savior. If even pagans love their mothers, how much would God himself?

St Peter, the rock that the church was buit on.

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit unto the 11.

Apostolic succession continues from then to today. Thus, Sacred Tradition.
The only apostolic succession would be from Judas Iscariot

What is the sin of babies?
All are sinners at conception ,all sinned in Adam;
Psalm 51 King James Version (KJV)
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

psalm58;
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Babies don't sin
Babies do nothing for the sake of righteousness. Sin is nothing but a departure from righteousness. Simply lacking opportunity to sin does not make one righteous. If I remain through adulthood naked, incontinent and un-weaned, I am not a righteous man by any stretch.

To sin is human.

As we're fond of putting it:

We aren't sinners because we sin; we sin because we're sinners.

If Mary was sinless, why didn't she cast the first stone at the woman taken in adultery?

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Yes, because of fallen nature not because of personal sin.

According to that statement Jesus is not human.
