"As was her supposed Immaculate Conception"

What do you make of the above two scriptures?

What do you make of the above two scriptures? (195, 196)

Make of them? I accept them as ancient prophecy foretelling the virgin birth of Christ, entirely orthodox doctrine in the church of Rome, the Orthodox, Protestants, Baptists, evangelicals. These prophecies are integral to the birth of Christ and the validity of scripture as divinely inspired.

You do understand we're not talking about Jesus' birth and sinlessness, we're talking about the RC claim that Mary was also sinless from birth (and also ascended directly to Heaven as Jesus did).

Hopefully, that answered your question. If not, you'll have to ask more directly.

Actually, the Immaculate Conception is Mary's conception, not the conception of Jesus. The Immaculate Conception is, I believe, celebrated on August 15th. The conception of Christ is celebrated on March 25th. Interesting note, March 25th used to be New Years and it is also the day that Frodo Baggins saved Middle Earth by destroying the ring of power.
