MARY


IF A BUILDER

BUILDS A HOUSE

THEN MOVES IN

IT IS WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE



IF THE CREATOR

ASKS A CREATURE

TO BE HIS MOTHER

IT FALLS OUTSIDE

THE PARAMETERS OF NORMAL



SUCH IS A QUANDARY

AND PUZZLEMENT

RAISED

BY AN EARLY CHURCH FATHER

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA



GOD NEEDED A VIRGIN’S CONSENT

TO BE BORN



THE CREATOR

ASKED

THE CREATURE

FOR PERMISSION



THE CREATURE

SAID YES

IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HER

AS RIGHTEOUSNESS



THAT IS

BELIEVING

IN GOD’S WORD

AND ACTING ACCORDINGLY



JUST AS ABRAHAM

WAS ACCOUNTED

RIGHTEOUS

FOR BELIEVING GOD

AND LEAVING UR



ORIGINAL SIN

OR IN THE EASTERN CHURCH

ANCESTRAL SIN

IS A BELIEF

HELD BY MANY CHRISTIANS

BUT NOT ALL



BASICALLY IT MEANS

WE ALL ARE BORN

WITHOUT GRACE

AND PRONE TO SIN



ORIGINAL

OR ANCESTRAL

BECAUSE WE INHERITED THIS CONDITION

FROM OUR FIRST PARENTS

ADAM AND EVE

WHO DISOBEYED GOD

AND LOST GRACE



YOU MIGHT SAY

IT’S SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED



THE EARLY CHURCH

WENT ALONG WITH PAUL

WHO SAID

IT’S BETTER TO MARRY

THAN TO BURN



REDUCING MARRIAGE

TO A SECOND CHOICE



I VERY GLAD MY FORBEARERS

DECIDED NOT TO BURN

OTHERWISE I WOULDN’T BE WRITING THIS



PAUL’S THINKING

MIGHT HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED

BY THE BELIEF

CHRIST WAS COMING SOON

WHY START SOMETHING

YOU CAN’T FINISH



GOING ON THE ASSUMPTION

THAT A CUP SHOULD BE CLEANSED

BEFORE ITS USE

MARY SHOULD BE

IMMACULATE

BEFORE

CHRIST FOUND A HOME

WITHIN HER WOMB


ORIGINAL SIN

IS NOT A FAULT

BUT A LACK

AND MARY WAS FULL OF GRACE



ANOTHER REASON

FOR MAINTAINING

MARY’S PURITY

WAS THE BELIEF

THAT SEX WAS DIRTY

THEREFORE MARY

WAS A VIRGIN

BEFORE

DURING

AND AFTER

DELIVERING THE CHILD

THUS PREVENTING

MARY AND THE CHILD

FROM EXPERIENCING

NORMAL FAMILY LIFE



CHRIST CAME TO BE FULLY HUMAN

WHY DEPRIVE HIM OF BROTHERS

AND SISTERS



PARENTS WHO LOVE EACH OTHER

WHO DO NOT WANT TO BURN



WHY DEPRIVE MARY

OF BEING A REAL ROLE MODEL

AS A MOTHER

AND WIFE



BECAUSE OF SOME ABERRATION

THAT SEX IS EVIL

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT



WHILE SATAN LAUGHS

AT OUR EFFORTS TO BE HOLY

BY NOT BEING HUMAN
