Answering the attack of Stand for Truth PH on Mama Mary, Part 2

By: Bro. Humphsky Rey

They misunderstood the meaning of "SAVIOR", a savior can save you after a danger or even during it and can also save you before a danger(Curative vs Preventive) . 

Mary was saved before sin can take possession of her body and soul, when the singular grace and privilege from God through the merit of Christ covered her against original sin in the moment of her conception (Immaculate Conception). Thus, she acknowledged a savior for she was saved in an extraordinary and special way. In a basic example, you can save someone by pulling him out of a pit after falling, but you can also save him by preventing him from falling. Thus she never committed sin. 

The most accurate and correct translation of the Greek word "KECHARITÓMENÉ" is "FULL OF GRACE", why? Because Mary is really full of grace, and because of that, there are no room for any single sin. It's like a cup overflowing with water, that oil cannot enter.

In Greek, the term κεχαριτωμένη(kecharitōmenē) in Luke 1:28 is a Perfect Passive Participle which means that the Blessed Virgin Mary was PREFECTLY GRACED FROM THE PAST, IS PERFECTLY GRACED AT THE PRESENT, AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN PERFECT GRACE FOREVER. The grace did not just protected her from sin but enabled her to have perpetual continence. Saint Pope John Paul II said that this "kecharitōmenē" was the new name of Mary in the eyes of God. God changed the name of those who played important roles in salvation history.  

Remember that this was the prerogative and initiative of God to prepare the coming of His Son. Take for an example a painter, if I am a painter and I am going to make a portrait of my mother, and the portrait seems to be more beautiful than my mother, I will surely say to myself: "If I will be given the chance to choose my mother, I will choose the one in the painting."

Now, who possess the only chance to choose His own mother? It was Him, who existed before His mother. The Lord Jesus Christ have chosen the best among women to be His mother.

Nothing clean will come from unclean:

"Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art?" Job 14:4

"Paano pang matutukso si Maria ng Diablo eh takot nga ang Díablo sa kanya."😅

Answering the post from Stand for Truth PH 

Objection 

Mary couldn’t have been conceived immaculate, that is, free from Original Sin because she would not need a savior, since she would have nothing to be saved from. Yet, the Bible proclaims in Mary’s own words that she had a savior. “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (Lk 1:46-47).

Answer

The fact is correct. Mary did have a savior. However, the conclusion is erroneous. Mary’s Immaculate Conception indicates that she had a greater salvation. We have been saved curatively, that is, we contract Original Sin but Christ’s atoning death frees us from it. Mary, on the other hand, was saved preventatively, that is, she was saved from contracting Original Sin because of the infinite merits of her Divine Son.

A second objection that is voiced is based on Romans 3:23 and 11:32. Those passages are as follows.

Rom 3:23 “since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

Rom 11:32 “For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.”

The argument is made that these passages use “all.” “All” means just that all. It is a universal declaration that allows no exceptions. Thus to exclude Mary is contradictory to the clear meaning of these passages.

The problem with this interpretation is that this explanation of “all” includes Jesus. Yet, Jesus is clearly an exception (Heb 4:15). It would also include Adam and Eve, who were created by God free from sin. Jesus is an exception. Adam and Eve were exceptions. Clearly, then, Mary could be another exception without contradicting Romans 3:23 and 11:32.

If one argues that the passages cited in Romans refers to personal sin, as some Fundamentalists have done, the argument breaks down nevertheless. Jesus is clearly an exception. In addition, unborn babies are not capable of personal sin because they do not have the use of reason. St. Paul, for example, speaks of the time when Jacob and Esau were unborn babies as a time when they “had done nothing either good or bad” (Rom 9:11).

The reality is that there is no biblical basis for rejecting Mary’s Immaculate Conception, but there is compelling evidence to support it.
