Tell me please...Where in the world did the church get this phrase “Immaculate conception” from? And why doesn’t this Bible the “Catholic church” supposedly gave us include this phrase, and what it means, in it?
You’ve forgotten the words Jesus said to Peter(Peter) “Upon this rock I build my Church. Whatsoever you loosen on earth is loosened in Heaven; whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in Heaven”.
The subsequent Church was filled with dedicated scholars that pray daily for guidance in their work of delving into Holy scripture and understanding what was meant.
St. James wrote extensively about the history on earth of Jesus Christ as well as the origins of his earthly family. I don’t know whether or not that was to explain the Church to Thomases or merely to augment the Holy Bible.
Immaculate Conception wasn’t pulled out of thing air, but was a carefully thought out reason for the physical being of Jesus Christ.
The Bible doesn’t say a lot of thins that we see and hear of in today’s mangled world: Protestant isn’t in there and, of course, Muslim or Islam isn’t as it came along later to fill the dull, empty minds of those who were barely above the level of animal.
