That would fall into what Mozal mentioned had nothing to do, which was what I said
That is a blessing in itself and the absolute ultimate fulfillment of womanhood
That’s, in my eyes, a pseudo-new way to call mary Christotokos basically
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
She was filled with grace because she was chosen
You have made that impossible, by saying that she was just a normal woman, with no different nature because of her role
By saying "being chosen doesn't mean any special status, or characteristic"
Luke 1:42
**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. ```
Is this really that hard to understand?
And that blessing and grace that it is mentioned isn't just a title, it is an actual thing
Exactly
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.
Yet there is also no scripture saying that Mary was perfectly obedient either
So what is it going to be?
What greater blessing is there than a child, and what more so a child that is God indwelt among us?
She raised Jesus well, that is obedience
Yet she gathered the Apostles in pentecost, pushed Jesus to perform his first miracle, etc
Well maybe being full of grace and crushing Satan's head, which show us again what is done for her role
And does it say anywhere that she raised him well?
He turned out Jesus and still loved his mother?
Shitty parents don't raise messiahs
Jesus was going to turn out Jesus, in your framework, without requiring any special thing
I love my mother too, but she doesn't have any special grace that makes her obedient
Is perfect obedience in your eyes, naturally achieved?
You are pretty much reducing what is said of Mary to the most mundane things, pretty much being a decent mother that doesn't kill her son. But then it makes no sense that so many outlandish things are said of her
And I don't expect you to say now "ok I'm convinced", but the claim that what we say is unsupported by Scripture is foolish. These, and many other things, are mentioned and studied by the Fathers of the Church, and when the involved dogmas are declared
And if you say that this causes scandal for some, I will also say that every single verse causes scandal for some. I have even seen people refusing to pay parking fines by saying that Christ already paid for our sins
For real..?
She's Jesus' mother, and he was as man as he is God, of course he exhalted her. I just think you're looking too lowly at those mundane things.
Scripture doesn't just mention "she was his mother", or "she was his fleshy receptable"
Yeah, being a Virgin and giving birth to Jesus is such a mundane thing
<:ohyou2:569616856105877505>
The way Mary is treated and described is in no way mundane
God isn't mundane either
Anyways, I’ll leave you two to it
Rather late here

Of course not, she was made extraordinary by her calling. David was a shepherd boy, a runt of mighty brothers, and just a kid playing a harp when he was annointed King. Mundanity to man means little in the eyes of God
