Nothing in the world so tends to defile the imagination, to pervert the affections, and to corrupt the morals, as self-consciousness. You know it is connected with every disease and morbid action of the body. …All self-consciousness is of the very essence and nature of sin.

Sinless Of Mary

Sinless Of Mary

SINLESSNESS OF MARY

BASIC R.C. BELIEF An attribute that some accorded Mary from about the 5th century, but wasn’t accepted by a number of theologians. After the definition of the Immaculate Conception, Mary’s sinlessness became universally accepted.

Its scriptural basis is Luke 1:28 mis-translated “full of grace.”

CHRISTIAN COMMENT The Greek word in Luke 1:28 (charitoo) speaks of grace being given, not grace as an inherent quality. The KJV is the correct translation.
