Why was Mary without original sin, this doesn't make any sense-I am sure Mary would have felt a little pain here and there.
Original sin was brought into the world after Adam and Eve disobeyed God.

First of all, we entered into this world with a fallen nature-this is Adam's sin.
The original sin is something inherent in us, we are all born with Original sin, Original sin manifest itself throughout our lives, in actual sins, the actions, thoughts and feelings we have that violate God's mortal commands.
So our sinful hearts {"Original sins"} cause us to make sinful choices, think sinful thoughts, and feel sinful feelings,
{"Actual sins".}
We are not sinners because we sin, rather we sin, because we are sinners-meaning we are all born totally imprisoned in Original sin. There is no island of goodness left in us.
Mary was born just like every other human being, that was born, she also suffered pain, made choices, and felt sinful feelings.

ORIGINAL SIN is what makes all men borne of a woman,Sinners.
And the good lord Christ was borne of a woman, for our sake he became flesh.

All you have raised are good questions.

it is not found explicitly in scripture but flows from the idea of luke 1:28 and luke 1:42.

if mary had had original sin ,Jesus would have had original sin also.
rubbish, mary was not God in the flesh but a mere human and as such was born with the passed down sin nature
rc's don't believe God, and believing God-Faith, is what it's all about:

1Jn 3:5  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Heb 7:26  For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

hail ,thou art highly favoured.

remember the angel was a messenger delivering a message, so this was God directly saying HAIL THOU ART HIGHLY FAVOURED.
duh, highly favoured doesn't mean free from original sin,
i asked for Bible verses not for rc foolishness

u say an angel talking to mary is God directly talking to mary
that's just like rc saying when u pray to mary to pray to God for u,
then u are praying directly to God

it's amazing how u rc's can believe these confused and foolish things u r taught

Babacele:
from the beginning anybody reading this thread knows that I have supported all my claims with different Bible verses and not even a scripture outside of it but each time you guys either dodge, insult , and twist .

One thing you cannot take away is the divine motherhood of Mary . If God Himself honors Mary , whatever you say is irrelevant. Those who call Mary dead, dog, sinner, and all sorts of names can't be part of the generations calling Her Blessed(Luke1:48).

Allow God to judge us poor sinners as we have never claimed to be saints .
oh mr liar-false accuser, where are the Bible verses u have given showing
that mary is to be prayed too
that mary is divinity
that mary is free from original sin, etc. etc.

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
If I was to raised good questions-then how do you come up with the conclusion Jesus had original sin-Is the Holy Spirit sinful too?
{Matthew 1:20} In Matthew it states that the virgin was found to be with child through the Holy spirit, Jesus birth was the result of the Holy Spirit, working in Mary's body.
The immaterial {The Spirit} and the material {Mary's womb} were both involved, if Mary tried to impregnate herself, she couldn't, she was a vessel and only God can perform a miracle of the incarnation.
{Hebrews 7:26} Jesus was not born in sin, it would seem that the sin nature passed down from generation to generation through our earthly fathers, but if you are guessing Jesus had Original sin-because of His earthly Mother Mary-then what does this say about God the Father?
{Romans 5:12, 17, 19} For by the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the One Mans obedience the many were made righteous.
{Psalm 69:8} Ring a bell, I have became strangers to My brothers, and an alien to My Mothers Children.
And when we look further into it-was Mary remembered as the Holy Mother of God after she had other Children to Joseph. Of course not. Her Children were all sin related, and Sin separates us from God...

oga read the post ,mary's grace was freedom of original sin(the immaculate conception) not actual sin,for indeed all have sinned, if not jesus would have been given birth as a sinner(by original sin).

numbers 23:19.
ha ha ha, the immaculate conception is another rcc satanic doctrine, this one was from pius 1X also
and of course is not Bibical
Jesus being conceived in mary by God was free from sin, but
there is no mention of mary herself being conceived without sin in the Bible
and why would there be
it's just more rcc rot of putting mary before Christ-God.

God is not a man that he should lie or the son of man that He should repent
Jesus was sinless and had nothing to repent off

Again you are either lying through your anus or totally ignorant.

Latin was the popular european language in medieval times even till the 17century vernacular werent even popular.


Read and be enlightened.


The 16th century and beyond
Though vernacular languages were
gradually growing in prestige, Latin
continued to be an important language
for written communication in Britain
and Europe into the Early Modern
period.
In documentary sources there is no
significant discontinuity in the use of
Latin between 16th century and earlier
periods: through the Tudor era (Henry
VII to Elizabeth I, ob. 1603) Latin
remains the standard language of
official documents, both state (such as
the Close Roll s, the Charter Rolls , and
especially the Patent Rolls ) and
municipal (such as those collected in the
corpus of the British Borough Charters ).




http://www.dmlbs.ox.ac.uk/british-medieval-latin/contexts/the-16th-century-and-beyond



Medieval Latin was the form of Latin used in
the Middle Ages , primarily: as a medium of
scholarly exchange; as the liturgical language
of Chalcedonian Christianity and the Roman
Catholic Church; and as a language of
science, literature, law, and administration.
Despite the clerical origin of many of its
authors, medieval Latin should not be
confused with Ecclesiastical Latin .


Official status
Official
language in De facto in most Christian
states during the Middle
Ages


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Latin



New Latin was, at least in its early days, an
international language used throughout
Catholic and Protestant Europe, as well as in
the colonies of the major European powers.
This area consisted of most of Europe,
including Central Europe and Scandinavia ; its
southern border was the Mediterranean Sea,
with the division more or less corresponding
to the modern eastern borders of Finland , the
Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and
Croatia .
