Why Was The Virgin Mary Never Sinned?

The Virgin Mary never sinned. She was without sin because God needed a perfect person to carry his son, Jesus. God sent his only son Jesus to save us from sin. When Arch Angel Gabriel came to Mary and told her of Gods will she answered him by saying, “may it be done to me according to your word.” (1Luke 1:31-38 Bible.) Mary by saying yes to God’s plan, “contributed greatly to Christ’s redemptive mission.” (pg5. Beginning Apologetics 6). She was considered the “Second Eve,” while Jesus, her son, was considered the “ New Adam.” (pg5. Beginning Apologetics 6). Mary by carrying Jesus, and Jesus by giving his life up untied the knot that Adam and Eve had tied in the beginning of time. Throughout this essay, I will explain to you how Mary stayed
But, if Mary gave birth to Jesus wouldn’t she have had to have intimate relations with a man? When Gabriel came to Mary and proposed Gods plan to her, she asked Gabriel the same question and Gabriel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.”(1Luke 1:31-38 Bible). This means, that Mary would not have had to have any intimate relations with a man. Therefore, Mary remained a virgin throughout her whole life. “Many people believe this doctrine downgrades sex in marriage,” (Pg15. Beginning Apologetics 6) but Mary was the Mother of God. If Mary was the Mother of God, and Jesus father is God, then technically she was married to the God. And throughs the Holy Spirit God was able to make Mary conceive. The Holy Spirit is not a physical person, though. If the Holy Spirit is not a person, then Mary must have conceived Jesus immaculately. The birth of Christ is considered the Virgin Birth because “Mary conceived Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit…The Virgin Birth is also an implicit proclamation of the divinity of Jesus Christ.”(Pg87. The Mystery of Redemption and Christian Discipleship). The way I think of how Mary was able to conceive is by, God came up with the idea and used the Holy Spirit to put into action his plan. It’s so important to understand that Mary was married to God and that it was through the Holy Spirit she
Brother in biblical terms means, “something other than siblings.” (pg110. The one minute apologists). For example, remember in the Gospel of Luke, when it was the feast of Passover and after Mary, Joseph, and Jesus had finished the festival traditions, and they were going home but instead only Joseph and Mary went home and Jesus went to a temple to pray. When Mary and Joseph discovered that neither of them had Jesus, they went back to Jerusalem. If Mary had other children where were throughout this story? Another example is in the Gospel of Matthew, “Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?” Matthew 14:55). James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas’s mother is Mary but not the Virgin Mary. They are the sons of Mary, wife of Clopas. Mary was either cousin’s with or close family friends because siblings usually do not have the same name. Also, by Mary not having any other children, she makes Jesus’ conception even more special and more divine. According to the catechism of the Catholic faith, Mary remained a Virgin from the day she was born until the day she was assumed into heaven. The Bible does not literally mean that Jesus had more siblings like the Bible does not literally mean that the world was created in seven days.
