Jesus righteousness came from BOTH God and His Mother.
So I believe.
I am fully satified with my choice to become a Catholic after many years as a Protestant.
I have nothing against the protestants beliefs though there are a FEW such that I disagree with.
Those few are why I chose go to the road to Rome.
The Protestants brought me to the Love of the Triune God.
For that I am eternally grateful.
I am not surprised that you disagree with my beliefs for there were many years I did that same about Catholic beliefs
In fact I expect it.
Both Joe and I are trying to help you understand why we believe as we do.
I already understand why you who are protestants believe as you do although there are a few denominations' beliefs of such that I do not FULLY understand such as the rapture though I have tried to do so.
I still stick by my believe that anyone who really, fully does understand the Catholic Church's official beliefs will never leave it. I know that I will not.
So I must agree to disagree with some of the statements made here.
To close this post I must say that God chose and prepared Mary to be His son, the Messiah, the way He did because of His perfect wisdom and understanding.
God wanted His son's mother to be perfect to give birth to a perfect son. So I believe that the bible indicates.
Mary was and IS the most blessed woman to ever have lived.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
