>>Be happy the devoutly Jewish girl said “yes” to Gabriel, sent by God. Otherwise, your argument might hold water, and we Gentiles would still be singing from the compost pile, rather than the fig tree’s branch. :)<<

Do you have so little faith in God that He wouldn’t get His will done regardless of what man does?

I have faith that He could have used rocks if need be.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

When are Catholics going to start giving God the credit instead of man?

Listening to how many Catholics put it, God stood, hat in hand, anxiously awaiting for Mary to say "yes." His entire plan rested on this critical piece, and if Mary didn't agree, nobody else would do.

The core error, to my thinking, is that Jesus owes all that he is to what Mary is/was - He forever proceeds from her being. Thus, we have the ubiquitous images of the perpetual, helpless, dependent child Christ forever in the arms of the overpowering, supporting Mary. A picture really does speak a thousand words.

REALITY CHECK?

HE Did Not use ROCKS to become man. He Choose to have a Mother. He had to have a Mother. If he is sinless by Obeying the Ten Commandments those requirements have to be met by him having a human mother. He has to obey the honor to his Mother and Father in the Ten Commandments. Otherwise he is not our Savior. He would not have obeyed the Ten Commandments if he came from rocks. Also it was always his Mothers free Choice otherwise God is a Tryant and not God. If it was forced it is wrong.
