"For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Ce’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1 Corinthians 1:11-13
Paul also said, "For me to live, is Christ." Which, if we fully receive the mission given to all who are sent, Christ has indeed extended Himself to those members of His own body, even with a Helper. Yes, what we do in His name--we do in His name.
Which is to say, do not consider that Paul had his own gospel, as being different than the gospel of Jesus. But rather, that we were (as Paul said) to "press on", to embrace the gifts of Christ, and to continue the work of Christ in His name. But, no, not in the name of Paul. Paul simply embodied that which was given to us all, even..."leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God."
And so it is written: "they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years."
NOPE - the angel never said 'hail Mary'
And having come to her, he said, "Greetings, you favored with grace! The Lord is with you." Luke 1:28
It was essential for the angel to say "Greetings" so as to immediately comfort her so that she did not have a heart attack.
Mary is no different then us = she received Grace and Salvation, it was a Gift and not of works, religion or thru her own goodness.
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
The gospels refer to the 11 or 12 as both "apostles" as well as "disciples." Nonetheless, even after He sent out the 12, Christ gave some to be apostles, including Paul. Ephesians 4:11only apostles are sent with the authority of christ
paul was referring to the gospel of Luke!

The fruit of the tree of Mary is our salvation! Lk 2:30 Jesus is our salvation!
Lk 1:30 Mary found our salvation

YesWait a minute..how did Mary get involved in all this good stuff here, thee you messing up my religion. You going to have to come again.. I might be taking shot in dark but.. did you go to Catholic School my brother :)
Agree.
“hail” is simply an expression of acknowledging another, to cast their attention toward you...
Hi, Hello, Greetings, Good Morning, Hey, What’s up, etc. etc.
Highly doubtful greeting someone was something Paul learned from Luke.
ALWAYS BAD NEWS if an angel appears without any words of comfort
