I have read through your comments with extreme interest. The postulation that some of Jesus’ DNA in the form of embryonic stem cells remained with her for her entire life is fascinating.
I also appreciate that you see the underlying vitriol and hatred that runs through most of these types of threads and feel the need to defend Catholics even though you are not one.
As you can no doubt see, the thread was relatively thoughtful and intelligent until certain ones are pinged and show up with their stock in trade comments made on every thread regarding Catholicism.
As for when Mary was saved from her sin, your theory is an interesting one, but the Church has contemplated this for many years and Mary, herself proclaimed her Immaculate Conception, so the matter is settled for me.
What intrigues me about the stem cells is that this would certainly buttress the belief that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. What human could ever reside in the womb where the Lord God had?
Again, thank you for a very interesting conversation and the respect you showed in your posts.
Thank you for your kind comments. I had a lot more I would have posted, but the atmosphere has declined so that I wouldn’t dream of offering anything else for discussion.
