Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesCatholicism :: Re: Old and NewRe: Old and New Eve tied the knot to our salvation with her disobedience and Mary untied the knot for us with her "Fiat" and obedience, making it so that Jesus can be born and dwell among us and redeem us. These opposites are saying that the Old was corrupted and in the New they were fulfilled and made perfect. Not only that but Eve was mother of all the living and Mary is the mother of all the living in the order Grace. Eve is actually "Eva" and Mary is actually "Ave." They are spelled backwords one to the other. You are right. And that is what I mean. What was messed up in the Old was fulfilled by God in the New and made perfect. The ark contained the Word of God right? We agree on that I hope. The Word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us right? Who then carried in the fruit of her womb the Word of God made flesh? None other than Mary! There is no way that you can argue with that. She is indeed the NEW ARK of the Covenant. Joseph knew that she was the Ark of the New covenant and therefore he knew that he could not touch her in a sexual way; as Joseph knows that no one can touch the Ark of the Covenant. We Catholics call Joseph (among many other names) "her most chast spouse." Mary remained a virgin all her life and Joseph remained chast all the while he was with her. |
