The point is that sin can not exist where God dwells. They are incompatible. Where God is, sin is not. Sin can not abide the face of God and flees from it. God's dwelling place is the Holy of Holies, free from sin. There is no sin in heaven, for this very reason.

Jesus does not have a goddess mother.. His holiness exists independently of Mary..

Jesus came into the world to be fully human and fully divine.. he needed a human mother to have that be true..

Jesus ate with sinners.. drank with sinners and chose sinners to be His disciples .. remember He touched the woman with the issue of blood? That would have made Him "unclean"

It is commonly believed that original sin is passed from the Father not the mother.. as it was Adam that sinned ..even though Eve first tasted the apple.. ..

Because Jesus did not have a human father he was born without sin .. so he was fully human but without sin..

God told Adam not to touch the tree. Maybe Adam told Eve. Maybe Adam was right there when Eve took the apple and did not stop her. The first sin was Adam's not Eve's.

Just a note to everyone, when the discussion degenerates to stuff like this,

“It is commonly believed that original sin is passed from the Father not the mother.. as it was Adam that sinned ..even though Eve first tasted the apple.. ..”

It is absolutely pointless to engage further. Please, I ask, get off the thread and stay off. It’s just ridiculous, and almost any post you make is going to be twisted. Do we enjoy this? No. Does it convince anyone? No. Even the lurkers are well aware of the idiocy. You may disagree, and I won’t comment further about it. Just that these are pointless, sinful, really stupid threads.

Mat 15:11 “What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’ “

No Catholic says Mary is a goddess. Stop implying otherwise. Mary is holy because Christ is Holy. I don’t understand why so many Protestants on here believe it was no big deal for Mary to carry the Great I Am in her womb. It was special. It marked her with a singular honor and grace. It shows the great work of God in the most humble of human beings. That is what sets her apart. His grace and favor. Not her own doings.

So the Church teaches.
