Okay so I have questions about this if someone could please explain: -So if Mary was born without sin then why wasn’t she the one to die for our sins? -Aren’t there examples in the Bible in which Jesus teaches Mary about faith? Like the time when she and Joseph were anxious about where Jesus was and they found him in the temple. If she was born without sin, wouldn’t she be free from that anxiety? -And also doesn’t Mary refer to God as her savior? If Mary was born without sin, she wouldn’t need a savior, right?

[@wynamaarp7024]

Exactly. It's man teaching not Christ Jesus centered at all. Jesus died for Mary's sin too. They also teach that Mary didn't have children after Jesus, It's odd that they claim they wrote the bible yet ignore the clear texts that Jesus had brothers and sisters, Mary had children other than Jesus. Just know that the scriptures teach Jesus is the only way to the father. Any other teaching is wrong.

[@Connor-fr5cn]

Okay, so this isn't a perfect explanation but maybe it'll help. 1) Mary didn't die for us because that's not her role. She may be "free of sin" but she is NOT God, and only God could bridge the gap between humanity and divinity. This question could be applied to anything, you know? Why didn't Jesus come earlier? Why even bother living as a human? Why didn't God redeem the world another way, he's God. But everyone had a role, and she wasn't a savior, but she did carry it. 2) yes, he did teach her about faith, but that's not how original sin works. Anxiety is not a sin. She was still human. Being free of sin doesn't mean you're Godly in the sense that we think it does. Adam and Eve were free of sin, but they still made a mistake, how could they be deceived if they were perfect? 3) yes, she does call God her savior. She needs a savior in order to be saved from original sin. She's "free" of original sin, but not removed from humanity. She's human, and as the new "mother of humanity" it shows that she needs it too. If we lived in a world where everyone had a disease, and someone gave you a vaccine during pregnancy so that you were never sick, would you call that person your savior? Not a perfect explanation, I'm no theologian, but that's a rough idea. I encourage you to look into it further so you can better understand it than my explanations! God bless my friend

This is an example of a doctrine that uses words that are convoluted, confusing and, to put it mildly, speculative. Before her conception, Mary was 'preseved' from the 'stain' of original sin. How can we know that? Well, we can't. Even in the narrative stories of Jesus coming into the world, it doesn't make sense. We are told in so many ways that Mary's choice to be Jesus' mother was heroic. She made a choice! As an adult! Yet we are expected to believe that before she was even conceived she received a gift of 'preservation' apparently not available to any other human? Are we then expected to believe that if Mary made another choice, that the whole incarnation would not have happened? And what of Mary's mother? Was she also given some sort of 'preservation'? I'm a Catholic. I believe that the way we revere Mary is important not least of all for her heroic choice coming out of her strong faith. But this doctrine seeks to place her on a pedestal where that heroic, FREE, choice is made, at the very least, ambiguous. It would not be unreasonable to read this doctrine as a suggestion that Mary's fate was pre-determined.

[@cadestekly6410]

Yeah, I get sanctification and her sins forgiven. But to say she was without original sin seems like a stretch.

[@alfray1072]

Wrong. Mary as sinless and assumed into heaven was already believed by the early church (fathers). That is part of Tradition, this is just formally declared 150 years ago and it is defined as The Immaculate Conception. Mary was immaculately conceived by God because she had imperfect parents. The Holy Spirit cannot conceive The Lord God Jesus in a corrupted womb that is why Mary had to be saved in advanced or pre-redeemed by God and that is the Immaculate Conception. This is evident when Angel Gabriel saluted Mary "Hail Full of Grace..." and "you have found favor with God" in LUKE 1:28-31, Kaire KeCHARITOmene. Jesus cannot be born with a stain of sin / original sin, The Lord God Jesus is The Spotless Lamb and Perfect, he was always divine from the moment of his conception (COL 2:9) and the Holy Spirit cannot conceive Christ in a sinner's womb that is why Mary was Immaculately Conceived in her mother's (Ann) womb, meaning Mary was saved in advanced by God so she can conceive Jesus in the bubble of space and time (earth). This is why Angel Gabriel saluted Mary "Hail Full of Grace" or Kaire KeCHARITOmene in the original Greek in LUKE 1:28-31 meaning Mary is already full of grace (saved) even before the Savior Jesus was born in the bubble of space and time (earth) / have found grace with God and will always be endowed with grace by God. When the archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary, he addressed her as “full of grace”. That is biblical. She is and was the only woman who was ever addressed this way. God would never allow himself to be born from sin. God saved her from original sin from her conception. God can (and does) operate outside of time and space. Nothing is impossible for Him. He saved her from original sin. It is by faith that we believe. Blessed are those who have not seen but have still believed. 2ND Mary cannot also fall into personal sin because an enmity was given by God between the woman (Mary) and the devil (serpent) in GEN 3:15 because Mary will raise the Son of God Jesus and no error and sin can enter the Holy Family. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION (CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH): 490 To become the mother of the Savior, Mary "was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role." 132 The angel Gabriel at the moment of the annunciation salutes her as "full of grace". 133 In fact, in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by God's grace. 491 Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, 134 was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin. 135 492 The "splendor of an entirely unique holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son". 136 The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person "in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love". 137 493 The Fathers of the Eastern tradition call the Mother of God "the All-Holy" (Panagia), and celebrate her as "free from any stain of sin, as though fashioned by the Holy Spirit and formed as a new creature". 138 By the grace of God Mary remained free of every personal sin her whole life long. 132 LG 56. 133 Lk 1:28. 134 Lk 1:28. 135 Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus (1854): DS 2803. 136 LG 53, 56. 137 Cf. Eph 1:3-4. 138 LG 56.

I think the question of “why doesn’t God preserve everyone from original sin” is a deeper question than the nice but rather pat answer offered here. I also suspect that if we really understood the metaphysical trinitarian dynamics at play here Mary’s sinlessness and her immaculate conception are perhaps truly metaphysically necessary. The object of God’s subjectivity, which is who God is to himself (the irreducible subject /object relation) cannot be sinful. Max Kolbe talks about Mary as the created form of the uncreated immaculate conception, the eternal receptacle and vessel of the Holy Spirit itself.

God chose Mary among all the women on the planet in human history to be the Mother of Jesus on earth and because of it, we must respect and honor her. It is as simple as that !

I have been to Lourdes France and know that the Lady at the grotto said to 'I am the immaculate conception" how it took till 1854 for the church to identify the immaculate conception as a doctrine? If not necessary why declare it and what does the church base it on?. I know that God promised a new Adam and a new Eve in Genesis. As much as I believe it was Mary appearing at Lourdes, this is an area I struggle with as it's not in scripture. Any light shed on this would be nice just to help me in my faith thanks

[@rdc2021]

Two sundays ago the priest at our parish remarked that Mary's title Ave in Latin is the opposite of Eve in latin Eva showing that she is the new Eve and the opposite of her

The Immaculate Conception of Mary was a matter of debate within the Church over centuries. In fact the Eastern Church in schism rejects the very notion of the Immaculate Conception of Mary as they believe like everyone else the Blessed Virgin Mary was a sinner. The reason why the Catholic Church is of the fullness of truth no doubt guided by the Holy Spirit is because of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. If you think about the Church Herself with the Blessed Virgin Mary representing the Church She would have to be without sin. As Non-Catholic Christians believe that She would have to be a sinner in order for our Lord to be Her Savior they seem to forget that the Church is made holy through our Lord just as His Mother was made holy through Him in which She was the first person to be saved in which She would be made without sin in the womb of Her mother St. Anne. As for understanding how the Blessed Virgin Mary could be filled with Sanctifying Grace by the Holy Spirit before our Lord was born into this world, suffered, died, and was risen. It's simple God Himself exists outside of time so He was already meant to be born as one of us and die as one of us and He would be risen and ascend into Heaven seated at the right hand of the Father. As God exists in the past, present, and future already so the Sanctifying Grace as the result of His death and resurrection would be given by the Holy Spirit to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the womb of St. Anne when she was conceived in the past before our Lord was ever conceived as all things are made possible through Him. I also believe that even though no one knew how the Father in Heaven looked like as our Lord stated this Himself. I believe that the descriptions given from the Old Testament were actually of our Lord the Son the visible God. And how He appeared to them was like He was after His resurrection. As in the Book of Revelation our Lord had hair white as the wool of a lamb this description is also made in the Book of Daniel. And I believe that the reason why people He knew didn't recognize Him after His resurrection because His appearance had changed as described above.

Yes I believe for God to use any young girl to carry the Lord Jesus is clumsy. God is a perfect planner and executer.
