Nice cut and paste. Do you have a source for that or are you trying to imply that you wrote that yourself?

None of that proves that Mary was immaculately conceived. It only shows that Mary was full of grace at the time the angel spoke to her. Trying to extend that “full of grace” back to her conception is simply a man made concept.

The Trinity is a man made concept. It is not at all clear from the plain sense of scripture. Everything Christians believe is based at least in part on interpretation of scripture. The debate is not about what is or is not in scripture but whose interpretation is correct.

No, I don't read Greek. I got this from Internet sources (Link).

No, it's a Biblical concept. I notice, in some Christians, a strange incuriosity about why such a beautiful, unprecedented, unrepeated, intricate term would appear in the inspired text. To mean --- what?

I didn't call it proof, by the way. I would call it evidence.
