Why was Jesus baptized, if John's baptism was a baptism of repentance?

We're discussing Mary's fictitious perpetual virginity and you bring in questions about Jesus and John.

There is no Scriptural evidence for the cult that has grown up around the adoration of Mary. And there is certainly no need to believe Mary's anatomy differed from any other mother, either pre or post delivery.

The miracle is Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. That is where Christian's should be focusing attention.

Thanks for all the wonderful work you have done on this thread. You have done well faithful servant. And the reality you are being mocked for explicating Christian Doctrine about Mary is a sure sign you are favored by God.

God Bless. Your reward in Heaven will be great. Keep up your good work. You have a real gift
