Did Mary Die?

[mikeledes]

Augustine declared that Mary’s flesh was “flesh of sin.” (De Peccatorum Meritis, ii, c. 24).
“Mary, springing from Adam, died because of sin; and the flesh of our Lord, derived from Mary, died to take away sin.” (De Peccatorum Meritis, ii, c. 24).

First, I would like to see this in context. Secondly, death entered the world because of sin. This does not mean that Mary died because of personal sin. And I believe Saint Augustine clearly stated in another work that Mary never sinned.

God bless,
Michael

Hi

There is an article:
Jesus Lived in India- Holger Kersten
sol.com.au/kor/7_01.htm

This article is a summary of Kersten’s exhaustive research into Christ’s travels after the Crucifixion, his arrival in India with the Mother Mary and finally his death and entombment in Kashmir.

“The historian Mullah Nadini (1413) also recounts a story of Yuz Asaf who was a contemporary to King Gopadatta, and confirms that he also used the name Issar, ie. Jesus. There is also much historical truth in the towns and villages of Northern India to prove that Jesus and his mother Mary spent time in the area. For instance, at the border of a small town called Mari, there is nearby a mountain called Pindi Point, upon which is an old tomb called Mai Mari da Asthan or “The final resting place of Mary”. The tomb is said to be very old and local Muslims venerate it as the grave of Issa’s (ie Christ’s) Mother. The tomb itself is oriented East-West consistent with the Jewish tradition, despite the fact it is within a Muslim area. Assuming its antiquity, such a tomb could not be Hindu either since the Hindus contemporary to Christ cremated their dead and scattered their ashes as do Hindus today.”

This is a new information on Mary, must be looked into.

Thanks

That’s a no. MOTHER MARY was bodily assumed in HEAVEN and is with THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and intercedes for us on Earth, as our MOTHER, the ARK OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT.

There seems to be a general opinion among Early Church Fathers and theologians in general that Mary died before her assumption, in conformity with her Son.

Hi All
We know that Mary had to die, For the wages of sin is death as in Romans 6:23.
