The Ark of the covenant!

There is much more to the Ark of the Covenant than just what it is made of and what was inside of it.
It represents the triune God that dwells among His people, not Mary.
 
rom 3:10-12
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
all is a general term and does not include every individual person,
Who made that rule?

It means all of the class being discussed.
children under the age of reason, mentally ill or those lacking free will, etc. are not included reference Mk 1:5 all does mot mean everything single person
matt 1:19 Just man
Lk 1:6 blameless "rightous"
also Paul is quoting psalm 14:3-5
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Then you and Paul are in disagreement.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

does not apply cos Mary was not created at this time!
Trumping Paul again. . .he is applying it to all mankind.
satan cannot corrupt "the woman" (Mary) enmity "total war"
Satan didn't corrupt Mary, her fallen nature from her father Adam is the source of corruption in the human race.
Lk 1:28 Hail Mary; "full of grace"!

calling Mary “full of grace,” the angel was acknowledging that the Blessed Mother was “filled with the presence of God.”
No, she was full of the favor of God.

Grace = unmerited favor
verified by the words:
"the Lord is with thee" and
"blessed art thou among woman"
None of which means she was sinless.
Lk 1:28 And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed be thou among women.

The Ark of the covenant is the dwelling place of God's presence among His people.
There is no NT Ark of the Covenant in Scripture.

That is man adding to the word of God in Scripture.

And it is called the Ark of the Covenant for a reason. What was inside it was the stone tablets of the ten commandments and at one time, though I think it was lost, the Aaron's budded staff. Covenant relationship, the living covenant maker with the power to perform his promises, even to bring the dead to life.

The New Covenant needs no ark for Jesus himself, risen from the dead, and his blood shed, the blood of the covenant, is our guarantee.

Are you actually saying that Mary is the dwelling place of God's presence among his people? His people, all who are unite to Christ through faith are his dwelling place among his people, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Eph 2:19-22 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole Structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

See how the scripture all by itself (alone) makes a liar out of the Pope and the Catholic religion. If only you had ears to hear. Could tell the difference between a sheep and a wolf.

Perhaps a review of the Ark would put it in the correct perspective for you.

The Ark of the Testimony (Ex 25:16, 21, 22) testified
1) to the covenant conditions in
two stone tablets engraved by the finger of God (Ex 31:18, Dt 10:12), therein,
obedience to which were the conditions of the Covenant (Ex 19:15, Jer 11:4-5, 7:23, Lev 26:3 w/12, Hos 1:8-9),
2) to their sin (Heb 9:4) in breaking them, in
the Book of the Law beside the Ark (Dt 31:26), along with
--jar of manna - testimony to their grumbling (Ex 16:2-4, 33), within the Ark, along with
--
Aaron's staff - testimony to Korah's rebellion against the priesthood (Nu 16:1-3, 17:10).

Atonement Cover - throne where God sits (Ps 99:1, Ex 25:22, 1 Sa 4:4, 2 Sa 6:2)
--two angels - Justice and Righteousness, which are the foundation of his throne (Ps 89:14, 97:2)
--God sits in judgment on their sin in the Ark.
Therefore:
Throne of God is Judgment Seat.

Atonement Cover - covers their sin in the Ark.
Therefore:
Throne of God is Mercy Seat.

The Ark of the Covenant was a type of the throne of God
(Mt 24:31) which is both
the Judgment Seat of their sin and
the
Mercy Seat of their forgiveness (Mt 24:32-34, 41).

The Ark does not lend itself to being Mary.

you said:
"A good tree CANNOT bear bad fruit!
A bad tree (sinner) cannot bear good fruit! (Savior / salvation)"

then how did a sinner (Anne) give birth to a sinless person (Mary)?
the fruit is only Christ
a good tree cannot bear bad fruit
Mary is good cos the fruit is good

God intervened with His grace "free gift" preserving Mary from original sin! Lk 1:49

read ex 25 anything consecrated to God and His service had to be pure holy immaculate and only for His purpose

Lk 1:38 a great wonder, marvel:

behold the handmaid of the Lord!

the one consecrated to the Lord!

who consented to our salvation Lk 1:38

great things plural Lk 1:49

immaculate conception of Mary
miraculous conception of Jesus

(((The Ark of the covenant)))

(a type of Mary the Ark of the new covenant)

incorruptible wood (ex 25:19) refers to Her immaculate conception in grace Lk 1:49,

covered with pure gold (ex 25:11) refers to Her great purity & charity or love of God.

(contents of the Ark)

"testamony or ten commandments" (ex 25:8)
angels delivers the word of God (testimony) to Mary

"the mana"

In Mary was Christ the living bread come down from heaven.
(Jn 6:48-51)

"Aaron’s rod"

a symbol of Christ the high priest. (heb 8:1)

In Mary the new Ark was Christ the living mana come down from heaven, Christ the fulfillment of the law and the eternal Word of God, Christ the high priest.

angels (ex 25:18-20) angel appeared to Mary (Lk 1:28-38)

mercy seat ex 25:20

God overdhadows the mercy seat (ex 25:22) (lev 16:2)

God the Holy Spirit overshadows Mary (Lk 1:35)

Mary the Ark of the new covenant!


Our Lady of victory!
the Ark of the new covenant!

let us take the holy Ark into battle and the gates of hell shall not prevail!


Numbers 10:35
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Joshua 3:3
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

1 Samuel 4:3
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

1 Samuel 6:13
And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

True Christians rejoice with Holy Mother Mary!

mercy seat ex 25:20

God overdhadows the mercy seat (ex 25:22) (lev 16:2)

God the Holy Spirit overshadows Mary (Lk 1:35)
 
i want you to be clear:
Is Mary good fruit or not?
Christ is the good fruit "our salvation" Mary is the good tree (by grace) that bears the good fruit

Lk 1:35& And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

is the fruit of Anne's womb blessed?
 
is the fruit of Anne's womb blessed?
yes by the power of God's grace

Adam Eve were created by God without sin in sanctifying grace

All others are created with original sin

Mary was preserved from original sin to be the immaculate mother of God, the gate of heaven, the mother of "our salvation"!

Got it?

so Mary IS the good fruit of Anne's womb

and Jesus is the good fruit of Mary's womb

You have claimed that Mary was required to be conceived immaculatly to bear good fruit
why not Anne?
 
even as a metaphor?
Mary never has a metaphor attached to her, and the "metaphors" attached to Jesus, such as the root of Jessie, and the vine, the door etc. are more figures of speech describing his position. "Blessed is the fruit of thy womb" is a Catholic rote prayer counted out on beads. Which by the way is something Jesus spoke against concerning prayer.
 
mercy seat ex 25:20

God overdhadows the mercy seat (ex 25:22) (lev 16:2)

God the Holy Spirit overshadows Mary (Lk 1:35)
Mary is not the mercy seat. Nothing in Scripture says any such thing. The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she conceived. He is the Father of the child. Scripture never says the Holy Spirit overshadow(s) her.
