Why was it necessary for Mary to have been sinless to conceive and carry Jesus?

When God Almighty comes down and spends nine months in your womb, you'd better be sinless. Think of the Ark of the Covenant, that God dwelt in. Rays of death came out and killed the enemies of the Israelites. What more would they have done to sinful flesh that He dwelt in for nine months?

The sin nature comes through the father. Physical contact with sinful people does not nor did not contaminate Jesus, otherwise He could not have touched sinners while here on earth.

His holiness is so powerful that sin can’t contaminate or over come it. It overcomes sin.

It's either one or the other, not both.

And what the heck does that have to do with the Trinity?

Who do people belive Jesus is, and what does that mean?
