"Now, Christ permitted himself to be desecrated, but it was evil that he was desecrated, an evil which he permitted, but did not commit. To be born in an impure vessel would be God himself committing an act of evil against God’s own holiness."

Then, how was the curse of Adam circumvented in Mary's lineage?

And, are you saying that contact with sinners would've made Christ unholy?

God said so?

No, I’m saying that to be born of an impure person would have offended Christ’s divinity.

Jesus had a little more than contact with Mary. He became flesh of her flesh and blood of her blood. You do know that a baby shares its mother’s very blood, don’t you? Any impurity in the mother’s blood passes to the baby, which is why mothers can’t drink and even have to very careful which medications they take.

Now, Jesus certainly was greatly mistreated during his life. But that was PERMITTED by God, not COMMITTED by God. It was evil that he was mistreated, and God cannot perform evil.
