Here you allow yourself personal interpretation of the context, in place of the Church’s, which instead recognizes God’s work in gracing the ever virgin while dedicating her life to Himself as mother of the savior. This was her vocation, along with Joseph, foster father.
It is a matter of context and comparison to other scriptures.
As I said in an early post. There is no evidence of her being a consecrated virgin, because they didn’t exist in Judaism, at least according to Jewish Rabbi’s and historians.
No, just trying to be " catholic" , more universal or on the whole, discussing some of this theology within such framework, like Catholics also used to before dogmatizing things. I myself have not danced back and forth on issue. Would you feel better if I anathemized opposing views as others do?
That is a different argument. I think we have enough on our hands with this one…
I’m simply answer post that were addressed to me to the best of my ability.
How much grace does it take to be full of grace? Who should carry and be mother to our Lord God, but one graced and consecrated wholly to that purpose? Scripture affirms in Mary’s own words “all nations shall call me blessed.” That Catholics are generous with that blessing, is no fault IMO.
I apologize if I have been out of order. That was not my intention.
