If she was without sin, she was perfect was she not?Actually I'll even do you one better: I don't believe Mary is "perfect" either.
No, not neccessarily. She was a human being, after all. I mean, if YOU could manage to go through your whole life not sinning you would still be a fallen human with all the human weaknesses we all have. Only the almighty eternal God is "perfect". I'm sure Mary caught a cold, or made mistakes, or whatever... ...and those things could not happen to a "perfect" being.If she was without sin, she was perfect was she not?
Where do we see where Mary was full of grace? For Grace is unmerrited favor.No, not neccessarily. She was a human being, after all. I mean, if YOU could manage to go through your whole life not sinning you would still be a fallen human with all the human weaknesses we all have. Only the almighty eternal God is "perfect". I'm sure Mary caught a cold, or made mistakes, or whatever... ...and those things could not happen to a "perfect" being.
Mary was "full of grace", that grace being a singular special gift from God. That does not mean that God conferred divine perfection on her. He just kept her from sinning, but I'm sure she erred in other areas besides sin.
Well actually He addressed her as favored on not one full of grace.Full of Grace was the title by which the archangel Gabriel addressed her.
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee."
Amen!
You knew what I meant. Perfect, sinless, spotless. I could care less if she caught a cold. I'm sure Christ did too... yet we call HIM perfect.No, not neccessarily. She was a human being, after all.

so what? How that translates into "oh, that means she was sinless" is not a logical line of thinking.Full of Grace was the title by which the archangel Gabriel addressed her.
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee."
Amen!
In the Catholic apologetic bible, (the Douay Rhiems) it says full of Grace. That's what they're going to believe it says.Well actually He addressed her as favored on not one full of grace.
Awe.. I seeIn the Catholic apologetic bible, (the Douay Rhiems) it says full of Grace. That's what they're going to believe it says.
That is a poor translation from the original Greek. Allow me to quote something for you:Well actually He addressed her as favored on not one full of grace.
umm nope. It's because that's what the original Greek says.In the Catholic apologetic bible, (the Douay Rhiems) it says full of Grace. That's what they're going to believe it says.
