“They have the clear and unambiguous words of God in Scripture and yet they STILL believe a lie.”

You said so yourself. ‘Among those born of woman’. That is precisely what Christ says, and I have no intention of denying His statement.

“How long do you think it will be before Rome decides that Mary was not actually ‘born of a woman’ herself, but instead supernaturally conceived by a virgin...?”

What the immaculate conception teaches is that Mary was kept free from sin by the Power of Christ at her conception. Not her birth. Given the idiom, ‘born of woman’ to apply to a purely natural birth, I’d argue it doesn’t apply to Mary due to Christ’s intervention.

“I suppose we should brace ourselves for Mary’s mother to be declared a virgin her entire life...and her mother...and her mother...and...”

I am only surprised that it took so long to make the argument of turtles all the way down.

The problem is that you reject the first part of the teaching, that it is Christ who intervened at her conception. So there is no need for further intervention.

Where in Scripture are we told such nonsense? It's total fiction that denies the singular work of Christ.

Repent from that foul belief.

The problem is that you reject the first part of the teaching, that it is Christ who intervened at her conception.

Just "lucky," I guess.

Got some Scriptural support for that doctrine?

What the immaculate conception teaches

Who is that? Where does 'IT' teach?

The problem is that you reject the first part of the teaching,

Telling a believer on God's Word ALONE that they 'reject' something Jesus said?

that it is Christ who intervened at her conception. So there is no need for further intervention.

And the Scripture that we rejected is where?

I'm reminded that you are the poster who claimed he doesn't pray to Mary as you did your spin and later on it was a different story. So your 'no need for further invention' is funny!! The RCC Roman Catholic Comedy act is in full swing.
