Genesis 3:14-16

2019-07-20 08:59:01 UTC  

**Genesis 3:14-16 - English Standard Version (ESV)**

```Dust


<14> The Lord God said to the serpent,"Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. <15> I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."<16> To the woman he said,"I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you."```

Lmao we aren't told "there is a Trinity guys" either, but you claimed that thre was no support form Scripture. However, Scirpture shows a relationship that is far debyond just being some kind of receptacle, by virtue of God himself being born of Mary

2019-07-20 09:00:02 UTC  

And we are mentioned her graces, and the way she crushes the snake

2019-07-20 09:00:11 UTC  

^

2019-07-20 09:00:21 UTC  

The trinity is evident from scripture though

2019-07-20 09:00:33 UTC  

And you, given all this want to reduce her to yet another woman who, like all of us, sinned and such, and just happened to be near a celebrity

2019-07-20 09:00:58 UTC  

She was just a woman who was blessed with a job, and did it well

2019-07-20 09:01:17 UTC  

God chose her, that doesn't make her any less special

2019-07-20 09:01:27 UTC  

Yeah, guess the New Eve is just a meme title

2019-07-20 09:01:33 UTC  

We don't need to attribute deity to her

2019-07-20 09:01:42 UTC  

Lmao so all the graces that are mentioned of her, the way she crushes the snake, and all that is said of her just rfer to her position as being near a celebrity

2019-07-20 09:01:42 UTC  

No one is doing that

2019-07-20 09:02:03 UTC  

See, there we can see the root of this problem, to avoid some scandal, you have caused another scandal

2019-07-20 09:02:11 UTC  

Yep

2019-07-20 09:02:25 UTC  

One could as well complain about all the scripture that is used by arians, and muslims, and JWs, and mormons

2019-07-20 09:02:43 UTC  

And you will say "well, but even though they use some fragments, other parts of Scripture destroy what they say"

2019-07-20 09:02:43 UTC  

You could argue proximity to literally any figure in the Bible, none are deified like Mary but maybe Elijah

2019-07-20 09:03:13 UTC  

Lmao, didn't some believe too that John the baptist was the messiah?

2019-07-20 09:03:38 UTC  

John 3:30

2019-07-20 09:03:38 UTC  

**John 3:30 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<30> He must increase, but I must decrease. ```

2019-07-20 09:03:48 UTC  

But we can say the same, that all the scandals related to Mary are destroyed when considering all scripture and teachings

2019-07-20 09:04:41 UTC  

So instead of cutting your arm when it is diseased, encourage actual understanding of Crhist, God, and the events and things described in Scripture

2019-07-20 09:05:11 UTC  

Luke 1:42

2019-07-20 09:05:11 UTC  

**Luke 1:42 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<42> And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. ```

2019-07-20 09:05:16 UTC  

Because if you try to solve problems by reducing Mary to a mere, normal woman, you have caused yet another disease, which you will have to "cure" by cutting yet another limb

2019-07-20 09:05:50 UTC  

I don't see the disease there though? For her to just be?

2019-07-20 09:06:22 UTC  

The Christ Bearer is the Christ bearer with or without a mystical birth and life

2019-07-20 09:06:31 UTC  

That would fall into what Mozal mentioned had nothing to do, which was what I said

2019-07-20 09:07:00 UTC  

That is a blessing in itself and the absolute ultimate fulfillment of womanhood

2019-07-20 09:08:13 UTC  

That’s, in my eyes, a pseudo-new way to call mary Christotokos basically

2019-07-20 09:08:20 UTC  

The disease is the theologically bankrupt statement that Mary is just another woman with no difference from others, even when she is described as full of grace, Christ having been born of her, and crushing Satan's head. It doens't hold that all of this is said of someone merely because of acting as some kind of fleshy receptacle for God, since in order to deny Mary's characteristics, you have said that it has no real effect on the mother

2019-07-20 09:09:03 UTC  

She was filled with grace because she was chosen

2019-07-20 09:10:08 UTC  

You have made that impossible, by saying that she was just a normal woman, with no different nature because of her role

2019-07-20 09:10:26 UTC  

By saying "being chosen doesn't mean any special status, or characteristic"

2019-07-20 09:10:31 UTC  

Luke 1:42

2019-07-20 09:10:32 UTC  

**Luke 1:42 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<42> And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. ```

2019-07-20 09:10:39 UTC  

Is this really that hard to understand?

2019-07-20 09:11:03 UTC  

And that blessing and grace that it is mentioned isn't just a title, it is an actual thing

2019-07-20 09:11:10 UTC  

Exactly

2019-07-20 09:11:20 UTC  

Her mundanity is simply another exhultation of the Christ. Not every great child of God needs to be a magical superhero, some are just given a role and carry it out, and are blessed because of their obedience.
