“I suppose also that Jesus was then not the first to be born “without sin”. Hmmmm”

If you believe in the false doctrine of the “immaculate conception” and the “sinlessness” of Mary, then, well, I suppose so.

I don’t believe it one bit. “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Including Mary. Jesus and Jesus alone is the only person to be born sinless and remain sinless. Period.

WOW, you know this for a fact....despite learned theologins throughout the ages disagreeing with you. I sure wish I had your insight into how God does things. Although Adam and Eve were created (not born....no belly buttons) without sin, I guess they did fall through temptation. Therefore, you would suggest that the Mother of God would be as frail a person as were the first humans on earth......perhaps, perhaps not, but why would God have chosen a soiled vessel to house His begotten Son.......I don't think so, a pure vessel was indeed chosen and that would be Mary.
