What protestants dont like

• They say it can not be found in Scripture, which
  contradicts by Romans 323
• for all have sinned and fall short of the glory
  of God
• They think it means that Mary didnt need to be
  saved, they didnt understand the difference
  between redemption that preserves from sin and
  redemption that cleanses from sin.
• The early Church fathers did not teach this
  doctrine.

What you need to understand

• Preserved from original sin from he first of
  existence, Mary was.

  Gen. 315 Protoevangelium

  between your offspring and hers he will crush
  your head, and you will strike his heel.
• Mary was given privilege in view of Christs
  merits.

A closer look at Romans 323

• Romans 323 for all have sinned and fall short
  of the glory of God
• Misused when talking about sin, he means
  personal sin, not original sin.
• Word we need to clarify ALL
• Clarified by does not mean absolutely all, there
  are exceptions
• Jesus
• Adam and Eve prior to The Fall
• Children below the age of reason
• Mary

The protoevangelium?

• Gen 315 I will put enmity between you and the
  woman, and between your offspring and hers he
  will crush your head, and you will strike his
  heel.
• God put complete enmity, a wall of sorts,
  between her and her offspring.
• Jesus, the offspring of Mary, was completely
  untouched by sin, therefore Mary, the mother of
  Jesus who is God, was never ensnared by sin.

typology

• What historically helps us defend this title of
  Mary is how is was foreshadowed in the Old
  Testament.
• The Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament
  carried the Word of God, the living second person
  of the Trinity. Mary, the New Ark of the Covenant
  carried Jesus, the Word of God.

Marys redemption

• Mary DID still need to be redeemed
• The type of redemption that Mary received was not
  a cleansing redemption, but a preservation
  redemption.
• The preservation redemption was a more perfect
  redemption
