I’ve heard this too many times to ignore as the individual beliefs of specific Chrisitans and notice that it comes from a certain “group” of non-Catholic Christians…

They say that Mary “said” she needed a saviour, but I for the life of me cannot find one verse to support that.

Could any of you that beleive that Mary said that she needed a saviour show me where she said it?

Thank you.
 
Mary never said she needed a savior. The scripture being referred to is Luke 1:46-47: “And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Those who told you Mary said she needed a savior simply infer that if Mary said she had a savior, it means she needed one.
 
I believe this is a reference to Mary’s Magnificat when she meets Elizabeth. She says, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” (Luke 1:46-47)

This is proof that Mary needed to be saved from sin, but we believe that God saved her by keeping her soul immaculate from the moment of conception.
 
Exactly, I know those quotes of course, but neither say that she says she needed a saviour.

(Of course, here Mary is referring to God for Jesus had not been born yet and He hadn’t died to save anybody at that point so the only Person Who could’ve done any “saving” was God…Mary’s Lord).

Hi Zenas,

That was my first view, but after you hear the same thing over and over again (that she “said” it), I got the impression that they were making a clear well rehearsed statement.

Like I ask you in your other thread. Isnt Jesus God, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the Word of God?

You didn’t ask me that on your last post.

You stated it.

If you asked me that prior to your stating it,
I hadn’t noticed it.

But here’s what I responded to your “statement”:

(Protestants flip/flopping views of when it’s convenient for Jesus to be God)

When it comes to her being saved by Jesus “before” He made the sacrifice of His death, then He is God, but when Elisabeth refers to Mary as The Mother of her Lord, then she was only referring to Jesus of The Trinity.

Of course, reason dictates that since Jesus hadn’t been born yet, He hadn’t saved anybody especially since it was His death that conquered original sin, not His birth.

Nothing was “accomplished” until He died on The Cross.

So, no one could be saved “unless” God (The Triune God and not Jesus “alone”) chose to preserve them.

And what a reason God had to preserve Mary! She was chosen to bring His Son into the world! To be the only human being to contribute flesh to Him…how could that flesh be tainted with original sin? It would’ve been passed on to Jesus. The very blood He shed from us came from no man, but from Mary.

Just as Eve introduced sin into our bloodline, Mary’s blood removed sin from our bloodline.

Wrong, I asked you right out “isn’t Jesus God?”. Then I made the statement.
 
***Nothing was “accomplished” until He died on The Cross. ***

Thus the statement “IT is finished”. At that point, he became our Saviour. Some will say it wasn’t finished until he arose. His DEATH paid the price for our sin, his rising conquered it.
