Acts 6:8. It's already been posted.
But that verse does not have the same Greek - Kecharitomene - as it is in Luke. So it is not the same, and whoever posted it did not do his homework.
Philothei is correct.

what, that the text says Stephen was full of Grace? no, Philo is not correct. It does say that. You can argue the greek word, but that is what the text in acts says. Full of Grace.
it doesn't really matter.
like I said, it's irrelevant to the passage regarding Mary. The word, no matter what participle is used, no matter what root, no matter what form does NOT say "Hail Mary, sinless one." nor "Hail Mary, you who have been immaculately conceived." none of that at all. At least be honest enough to state that the bible isn't where it comes from, but from the extrapolation by your Church. the text itself does not support this.That may be what your translation says, but they are not the same in the original languages. That is a fact.
wrong about what? the fact that translations differ? fine. Just to make you feel better, I'm wrong about that. here you go. feel better?It never does when you are wrong, does it
Highly favored does not mean sinless still. Full of Grace neither.. Full of unmerited favor.Notice the unmerited part..
had no sex ever
why not use the 'ever virgin" expression?

Admit that the text does not say anything at all about Marian sinlessness or immaculate conception.
why not use the 'ever virgin" expression? At least so that we know you are not talking about your girlfriend or the teen across the the street but a Holy person who brought forth the Incarnate Logos... Little respect goes a long way Josaih... don't you think so?
In the Catholic apologetic bible, (the Douay Rhiems) it says full of Grace. That's what they're going to believe it says.
umm nope. It's because that's what the original Greek says. Peace
So showing respect is out of taboo? Why you do not call Christ then the "no sex dude" ?
nope. I think the bible should include the word used. But no sex, virgin, is the same.UB according to you the whole bible should be replacing words as virgin to "no sex"?
no. not the matter of showing respect. the matter of how it seems impossible in the minds of those who believe in the PV that someone could be set aside for a holy purpose... AND have sexual relations with their spouse. The priesthood of the EO and RC denote this. They are somehow more "holy" because they don't get to have sex. It's a rather foolish thought. Virginity does not immediately give holiness, nor does a sexually active person have less access to holiness.So showing respect is out of taboo? Why you do not call Christ then the "no sex dude" ?
you ever answer Albion about your tenure as a Catholic, and your age? Jus' wondrin.Right on target.
LOL.
