BriarBey, what evidence do have for this claim? The Church has always wholly and completely rejected such a claim as heresy. Only a pure and unblemished sacrifice could atone for the sins of the world. Hence Christ could not have inherited original sin.

So why didn't they crucify Mary? According to RCC beliefs, she had no original sin.

Had to go talk to my Heavenly Father about this comment....gasp...yes this nut talks to God and is Holy Spirit taught (imagine that since we were told the Holy Spirit was sent to be our TEACHER and comforter.) Here is what He told me.....and it comes much like Peter's answer when Jesus asked Peter, "Whom do you say I am." I believe Jesus told Peter from where his answer came.
Inherited sin came from DISOBEDIENCE, it was thru this that Adam and Eve became blemished and all mankind (yes even Mary) it was thru OBEDIENCE that Jesus was unblemished. Jesus defeated the part of Mary and mankind that was in him, by obeying his Father. He broke the curse of disobedience set on us by Adam. Did he want to? No...he prayed in the Garden, "Father if it be possible remove this cup from me." BUT he still obeyed....right up to and past where all mankinds sins were laid on him and he cried.."My God, My God why have you forsaken me." From the pain and anquish. He defeated his flesh...He defeated the grave and death and He is the first fruits of what is to come at the resurrection when all the dead will rise to judgement. When the grave and death are cast into the Lake of FIRE along with those who chose the wide path that leads to destruction.
I am the Church, adiaireton8....I am a living stone, one of many living stones and my foundation is on the rock (your system proclaims that rock to be on Peter, when it was on WHAT Peter said) which is Christ the Messiah, the son of God, the Lamb of God. God ripped the veil of the Temple from TOP to bottom with a great earthquake at the crucifiction.........your system puts it BACK UP in vain rebellion. I need no go between other than Christ to go to my Heavenly Father. I serve no system nor defend ANY denomination. They are man made........look at the fruit, its rotten, it stinks and the world becomes more and more wicked, rebellious and disobedient.
You stand in sand....which is nothing more than crushed rock. The truth crushed and moveable. I know what "Truth" is.....He said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall MAKE you FREE." I believe him.
