An member of the Orthodox Church posted this on another board about Mary...an application of Scripture I'd never heard before.


1 Tim 2:15

[quote]But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.  [/quote]

If women can be saved by bearing children who are not God, and by living decent lives-, then what shall we say of a woman who bore the Eternal Fire and who lived a life of piety and humility?

i dunno, what would we say? (how does he answer this question?)

[StColette]

very good question

[daugher-of-Mary]

I'm thinking the question was rhetorical

[phatcatholic]

right.........but i'm guessing he intends the reader to come to a particular conclusion. i'd be interested to see where he's going w/ his argument.
