She's NOT. She's the Mother of Jesus. And the SIN OFFERING of Jesus on the cross is God's provision for human to cleanse us from SIN. The ROman Catholic "Mary Thing" is probably just a re-purposing of the Goddess Diana/Artimis brought in to make institutional christianity more politically palatable for the Heathen.How is Mary the mother of our salvation?
Lk 2:30 Jesus not only doctrine is our salvation!

Mother of Jesus? OkPlease clarify what you mean?
Mary was chosen by God to be the early mother of Jesus.
Her role was literally that of his earthly mother, she played no part in our salvation.
That is all of Jesus.
Mother of Jesus? Ok
Lk 2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Jesus is our salvation and Mary is His mother!

Just nothing other than the mother of Jesus...Nothing you have posted says anything other than that Mary is the mother on earth of Jesus.
There is nothing in those verses that says that Mary has any role in our salvation.
From Genesis to revelation!Nothing you have posted says anything other than that Mary is the mother on earth of Jesus.

Mother of Divine Grace!
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
There is nothing ordinary about Mary being the mother of Jesus as she was chosen of God that made her more blessed then other women as she was called to birth the Christ child. Other than that she was just His mother who raised Him. Like everyone else that has died, she lays in her grave waiting till the resurrection of those who are Christ own when He returns on the last day. She is blessed above all women, but not to be bowed down to, worshipped and prayed to. Mary does not hear our prayers, nor can she forgive us.Just nothing other than the mother of Jesus...
...as if that is something ordinary.
Faith alone? How do you enter a covenant without an initiation ritual? And outward sign?Mary is only the mother of Jesus as she was called blessed above women by the angel of the Lord that came to her. It was because of her lineage through David's son Nathan and being a virgin is why God chose her above all other women. Nowhere in scripture does it say we are to bow down and worship her. She is just a vessel God used for His purpose.
Luke 1:26-38 Gabriel announces to Mary that of Christ's birth through her as she found favor in God. This all came about before her and Joseph were married so Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus.
Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Notice in this verse that only Mary is mentioned as normally people would say the son of Joseph and Mary. Jesus had four half brothers, James, Joses, Juda and Simon and some sisters, but it's not known how many sisters he had or what their names were. The reason they were all half brothers an sisters is because Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus.
Mary's descent comes through David's son Nathan, Luke 3:31. To fulfill God's promise to establish David's throne forever, God honored Nathan by making him the ancestor of the promised King (Messiah) who would sit on David's throne throughout eternity, Luke 1:31-33. Mary having no brothers to inherit the throne the inheritance would come to her first son being Jesus.
This is why God found favor only in Mary as still being a virgin before she married. Joseph descent from David was broken in being heir to the throne of David as one of his ancestors named Jeconiah (Coniah) was so evil God cursed him and his descendants from ever sitting on the throne of David, Matthew 1:1-17; Jeremiah 22:24-30; 1 Chronicles 3:17. This doesn't mean that Joseph was evil, but means none of his children could ever sit on the throne of David.
Luke 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Luke 1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Luke 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Mary has nothing to do with God's salvation other then being blessed to be a vessel of the Lord to conceive and birth the Christ child as salvation comes by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus, not Mary.
There is no Mother of Divine Grace mentioned in Hebrews 4:16, or in the Bible.

Lk 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Zacharias is filled with the Holy Spirit and prophecy!
Lk 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
The wedding couple have wine and not shame!
Jn 2: 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

Eph 2 refers to redemption not salvationBible I know you believe all of this by how you were taught, but there is nothing in those scriptures you posted that even remotely says anything about Mary being the mother of our salvation. Salvation is of God given to all by His free gift of grace through faith as we accept His free gift as we believe and confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
