1:46-47 Was Mary born without sin as so many believe?
As this passage clearly proves, Mary was not the so -called "immaculate conception", born without the stain of original sin, as so many have been led to believe.
Her own acknowledgement of God as her Saviour shows that she recognized herself as a sinner. Jesus also aligned Mary with other sinners (cp Mk 3:31-35; Lk 11:27-28).
Jesus is the only person ever to be born sinless (cp Jn 14:30; Ro 3:10, 23; 5:8, 12, 18-19; He 2:18; 4:15; 1Pe 2:21-22; 1Jn 1:8-10).
These scriptures are all-inclusive terms - they include Mary. Jesus was the only righteous person who ever lived. Everyone else, including Mary, is only made righteous in Him (cp 2Cor 5:20-21).
