[Wordsmith]

Your saying God can't become flesh by being born from a mortal. I say he's God and can do anything he wants. You've got the problem of Mary's parents having original sin as well. Since we inherited or nature from Adam so did Mary's parents.

Just to clarify, the Orthodox do not accept any doctrine like the RC doctrine of Immaculate Conception. We do not believe that Mary was anything more or less than a fully normal mortal woman. To believe otherwise breaks down the joining of the fully Divine with the fully mortal.

Well ok. Doesn't sound like I have a beef with you. Do I?
