Ok, I read all the anathemas.... What do they have to do with the sinlessness of Mary, or that necessity for her to be the Theotokos?

I didnt send it specifically for the sinlessness of Mary, just for general reference. Again, on the topic of sinlessness there needs to be a clarification on what is actually mean by the word 'sinless' instead of how it is understood by different groups. One thing that tends to trip people up in protestant/catholic diologue is semantics. I was raised protestant and became Orthodox later, so I have had to struggle through all of this personally.

I just wonder how one can be both simultaneously sinful and full of grace.

yes, that old chestnut of an argument, stating that Mary was full of Grace, so she couldn't be a sinner like the rest of us.

Sounds like a mystery to me.

Well Grace is un-merited favor.. Not sinless.. She was full of un-merrited favor..

How can someone who is FILLED with grace have any more room for sin?

... or the Theresa Little Flower and they can explain it to you fully.

And TLF is NOT the person to go to to understand or learn EOC beliefs..

I bet TLF would know enough about her beautiful Catholic faith than to say a falicy like this:

And TLF, like I said, is not the one to go to to learn aout the EOC..

My, so much talk of a sweet little flower!

Anyone know what her PM address is? I tried everthing I could think of: teresalittleflower, theresalittleflower... Well that's all I could think of, but could there be anything elese? I saw her on GT tonight and went to copy her homepage to another tab, but my lousy version of IE crashed and when I got back to GT she was gone...

Send me email directly, no PMs, if you know her address, please?

How would you describe the state of one who went to confession and gave an honest account of their transgressions, received absolution and then received holy communion?

How would you describe the condition of someone who had just been baptised and chrismated?
