I don't believe that Mary (mother of Jesus) was sinless, do you?

That is nowhere in the Bible, it says that she found favor in God's eyes. So did several other people in the Bible, but they made mistakes, they were only human. Mary was just the woman God chose to give birth to Jesus, she wasn't sinless, just favored.

flatlinzreborn is right. The first sin was disobeying God. Regardless of what that fruit was.

Unforgivable Sin -\n\nI believe that to deny the Godhead (1 Jn.5:7 below) is blasphemy again the Holy Ghost and is the unforgivable sin (Matt.12:31-32, Mk.3:29, Eph.4:30 below).\n\nThe only begotten son of God the Father (Jn.1:14 below), Jesus (the Word - Jn.1:1, Jn.1:14 below), His beloved Son (Matt.3:17 below), was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt.1:20 below). \n\nIn Jesus dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9 below).  \n\noGod the Father\noThe Holy Spirit of God the Father and\noThe Word of God the Father\n\nIt is God the Father who conceived in Mary His very Word through His very Holy Spirit (Matt.1:20 below).\n\n1 Jn.5:7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.\n\nCol.2:9  For in him dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.\n\nJn.1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, (Matt.1:20, Matt.3:17 below)) full of grace and truth.\n\nJn.1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Re.1:6 below).\n\nRe.1:6And hath made us kings and priests unto God AND his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  (Jn.1:1 above)\n\nMatt.3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son (Matt.1:20 below), in whom I am well pleased.\n\nMatt.1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost (Jn.1:14, Matt.3:17 above).\n\nMatt.12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.\n\nMatt.12:32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come (Mk.3:29 below).\n\nMk.3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath NEVER forgiveness (Matt.12:31 above), but is in danger of eternal damnation:\n\nEph.4:30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

"It seems every religion has a guy whose mommy didn't have sex,..."\n\nWhere does it say Mary didn't have sex?  Or, who says Mary didn't have sex after the angel Gabriel visited her?

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God. \nFundamentalists are sometimes horrified when the Virgin Mary is referred to as the Mother of God. However, their reaction often rests upon a misapprehension of not only what this particular title of Mary signifies but also who Jesus was, and what their own theological forebears, the Protestant Reformers, had to say regarding this doctrine. \n\nA woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3). \n\nSince Mary is Jesus’ mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ. \n\nAlthough Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ. \n\nTo avoid this conclusion, Fundamentalists often assert that Mary did not carry God in her womb, but only carried Christ’s human nature. This assertion reinvents a heresy from the fifth century known as Nestorianism, which runs aground on the fact that a mother does not merely carry the human nature of her child in her womb. Rather, she carries the person of her child. Women do not give birth to human natures; they give birth to persons. Mary thus carried and gave birth to the person of Jesus Christ, and the person she gave birth to was God. \n\nThe Nestorian claim that Mary did not give birth to the unified person of Jesus Christ attempts to separate Christ’s human nature from his divine nature, creating two separate and distinct persons—one divine and one human—united in a loose affiliation. It is therefore a Christological heresy, which even the Protestant Reformers recognized. Both Martin Luther and John Calvin insisted on Mary’s divine maternity. In fact, it even appears that Nestorius himself may not have believed the heresy named after him. Further, the church he founded has now signed a joint declaration on Christology with the Catholic Church and recognizes Mary’s divine maternity, just as other Christians do. \n\nSince denying that Mary is God’s mother implies doubt about Jesus’ divinity, it is clear why Christians (until recent times) have been unanimous in proclaiming Mary as Mother of God\n\n\nTHE FACT OF THE ASSUMPTION\n\nRegarding the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death, nothing certain is known. The earliest known literary reference to the Assumption is found in the Greek work De Obitu S. Dominae. Catholic faith, however, has always derived our knowledge of the mystery from Apostolic Tradition. Epiphanius acknowledged that he knew nothing definite about it . The dates assigned for it vary between three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension. Two cities claim to be the place of her departure: Jerusalem and Ephesus. Common consent favours Jerusalem, where her tomb is shown; but some argue in favour of Ephesus. The first six centuries did not know of the tomb of Mary at Jerusalem. \n\nThe belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is founded on the apocryphal treatise De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John, which belongs however to the fourth or fifth century. It is also found in the boo

I believe in Jesus and I believe that he is my savior and by believing in him I will go to heaven someday BUT I do also believe that Jesus is loving and if we live our lives in his image (help others, be a good person) then he will not send you to hell.   I can't imagine Jesus kicking a Jewish woman who was a good mother, loving wife and a teacher (like him) out of heaven and send her to hell because she did not believe he was the son of God.  I don't know. Maybe that makes me a bad Christian but I think what you do in this life should hold some weight.  Then all of us can be liars, steal or do whatever just because we believe Jesus died for our sins.  That doesn't make sense to me.  I think Jesus wants to do good in this life too.  Just my opinion.

""SHE DIDN'T SIN, she was born without sin so she could give birth to Jesus. Besides, wouldn't you (maybe not you exactly)love it if everyone worshipped your mother.""\n\nAin't it always something!?  A good christian girl with the number 69 in her name!  Just what I have always come to expect for them.\n\nBTW... 69 chick?  Mary was born without sin?  then that would make HER the Christ and not Jesus!  HER parents had sex to conceive her!!  I hope you feel liek a dumb@$$ right now since the PAGAN chick had to straighten you out on your biblical "facts".

You cannot prove that Mary existed, barely that she was a virgin. Think about a penis, then think how big is god, then scratch you head and think:" how can she still be a virgin?"
1091222
Yes. That is correct. For those who say they only pray for Mary's intersession, Jesus Christ is the only one true intercessor. Mary can do nothing for you. I would like someone to show me in the Bible where they get this from. This is a product of man not God. Someone told someone to start praying to Mary so they did. That is just like worshiping another God. Why don't catholics read the Bible and not just take the word of a human, a priest.

This is a specifically Catholic belief and involves the conception of Mary, not Jesus.  I believe that most Protestants (only know for sure about Baptists, though), do not subscribe to that belief

You make an interesting point. I have made an exclusive study of the trinity in the Christian scriptures and found it to have a solid premise, albeit that particular word isn't in the bible, and neither is the concept directly addressed. I wouldn't attempt to go into it here - it's too much - and that wasn't your question. I know  little about the Hindu religion,  so I'm not really qualified to comment.  What I find interesting about your point - the trinity notwithstanding - is that Mary, the mother of Jesus is worshiped in some Christian religions, as some  pray to various saints as well. It does indeed sound like at least some Christians have more than one god. I think that's rather odd. But...I haven't answered your question. It's a bit tricky. If you were a Christian we could discuss it.

No.. there are two marys.. mary the mother of Jesus.. and Mary Magdalen.. the prostitute Jesus saved from getting killed by a mod..

No she did NOT. Mary was only pledged to be married to Joseph.\n\nMary was a person conceived without original sin as she was the chosen one to bear the Son of God. \n\nMary & Joseph did not have any physical relationship. So before Mary & Jospeh came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. \n\nYou can read the whole Holy Bible. Every thing is written and happened under the name of Lord Jesus, the Son of God. Even in the old tesimony God has indirectly told about the birth of the Christ.\n\nAccording to my knowledge, You are an anti-christian and placed this question here to insult Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and make fun of the Catholics with the anti-christ answers.\n\nIt doesn't matter if you believe or not, people answer possitively or negatively....the Truth is "Truth". No one can change it. \n\nMay the Blessed Mother pary to God for you that God may enlighten your mind to understand the truth.

I understand what you're trying to say to us protestants.I want you to know, as a protestant I do not put her(Mary) on a shelf, and only bring her down at the celebration of His birth,(Xmas), and His death on the cross(Easter).After all my protestant prayers, I thank Her for saying "yes" to God, and bearing a savior for the world.I thank her for rearing him, loving him, molding him for his ministry. Jesus loved her, shes His mother , so How can I help but love Her. I am a mother of Sons too. When I watch the passion of Christ, I cry, for my savior, for Her, for the heartbreak I share with her. Do I love Jesus?.......YES,  do I love His Mother?..........YES.   Does Jesus love me?.........YES.

1.  Mary was a virgin until Jesus was born, afterward their marriage was consummated.  \n2.  Yes it would have to, but don't hold your breath.\n3.  People are not in the Hell of Revelation, lost souls are in a place Jesus called Hades, the saved are in the presence of God.\n4.  He says he doesn't.

I'm without sin.  I wouldn't throw rocks at an adultress because she too is without sin, she just hasn't realized it yet.
