I would say that because he was not concieved of the seed of man, He was without original sin.

Pastor Bill, could you please clarify your use of "seed of man"? I do not know if you mean seed of a male, seed of a female, or seed of a human. And "of" in English is a very ambiguous term. Could you indicate which more precise Greek preposition we would be talking about here?

I am not ducking this issue at all. I just need to have a very narrow and precise definition of what you stated.

Also, Adam and Eve were both initially without original sin. Though we do not know for sure just what process The Godhead used to form Adam or Eve, still all their progeny were conceived by the combination of haploid gametes all of which had to pass on sinfulness and death to each next generation.

Mary then of herself was not able to create a male individual nor to pass on eternal life using any cell or gamete generated by her cellular constitution. Some of these facts were not known by theologians of the past ages who went beyond their knowledge base and were not willing to humble themselves in this matter and say with Daniel, "It has not been given to me to know."

Thanks!
