Why Mary

(1/5) > >>

EKnight:
I was reading some of Ray's responses to questions of the trinity.  He speaks of Christ being conceived by the Holy Spirit.  This got me thinking about Mary's role in the birth of Christ.

Why did God need to have Christ born into this world in the conventional way?  Why couldn't He have created the second Adam as the first Adam?  Would his Apostles and disciples not have believed in Christ had he not been "born"?  Was God trying to show us that Christ was no different than we are (born of the flesh)?

And why Mary?  She was hand-picked by God.  Was there something significant about her as opposed to any other woman at that time? Or was this a random choosing?

Just curious.

Much of the answer to part of your questions depends whether you believe "the dust of the ground" means literally dust on the ground.

I was born into the Roman Catholic faith, I’m not sure about the first part of your question because I have not read Ray’s writings on the trinity yet but as a Catholic I can tell you there is indeed something very special about Mary.

Mary was born without any sin at all and was perfect from conception and all the days of her life.

Then I read ray’s work and realized all have sinned and all have gone astray and that would have to include Mary as well, although I don’t like to think this way, but it is what it is.

I’m sure Mary was a wonderful lady no doubt about that and the only thing that makes Mary special is that God picked Mary to conceive our Lord and Savior Jesus.

However if I were in the presents of Mary she would indeed have my full respect as the women who gave birth to Christ.  :)

Beloved:
To fulfill His word

Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

We all carry the mitochondrial DNA of Eve. Jesus was to partake of the world of mankind. The Father provided the male zygote.

Mary's and Joespeh's lineage are both important for different reasons

Also it gave "the world" a reason to be skeptical, even in the gospels and especially after,  Mary was accussed of fornication by the jewish religious. Later she was made "Queen" and prayed to. ( All religious slur..your mother wears combat boots)

If Jesus had come from "no where'....then hs connection to Israel would have no substance...he could then be claimed to be Buddah or some other religions leader. 

How do you create a adam...and have any man observe it.?????

Beloved , Such great thoughts given to you by God. My Mother who is the  most moral woman I have ever been around I looked up to her. I always wanted to model my life after heard. I got caught up into sins I never thought I would. But, through them all I see my need for him. Now, when I tell my Mother of the good values she has taught me, she never the less says "That no one knows ones sins of the mind". Yes, unless we share them no one but God knows. I  have seen  her struggle with not being able to forgive my father, who changed. Yesterday, to be exact. Today she is doing better. But, yes Mary was Human  and the Catholic Church worship her. All, the churches are wanting to be united. I however, see the danger of this. We are to be united with Brothers and Sisters who believe the truths of God.

I am so blessed to have people to share those truths with.

In His Love,
Marlene
