If they do not believe in the Immaculate Conception, then what else do they not believe in? The Resurrection? That Jesus is the Son of God? That believing Jesus’ testimony about himself is the way to eternal life? Hell? These “Christians” you refer to are not. They belong to "their" father Satan.

I'm not going to get into a religion war. Let me just point out that the Resurrection, Jesus's sonship, and his testimony about himself are explicit in the canon that is accepted by all Christians. Hell is kind of a tricky subject, due to generations of lazy translators. But the Immaculate Conception is merely Roman Catholic tradition. It is an old tradition and the Church has advanced scriptural arguments for it, but I remain unconvinced of its validity, and I would not question anyone's profession of Christian faith if they disbelieved it.

If you are Catholic, I suppose you must measure other Christians by the yardsticks of your Church. All I ask is that you judge the motes in our eyes with a bit of tact.

I’m not Catholic.

So, what I probably don’t understand is the definition of Immaculate Conception.

I know one thing, Christ was born from a virgin by the Spirit of God, by a supernatural event by God and that he is the Son of God. He is the CHRIST.
