how on earth could you ever determine that God Almighty would allow His begotten Son to be housed in a soiled vessel?

Since this strawman does NOT exist in Scripture, but the PROPHECY of Christ's birth is found there (and NEVER mentions a SINLESS virgin - but just a virgin) I think GOD can use just about whatever He wants to get the job done.

ROME is the one that says GOD could NOT do it that way.

Kinda presumptuious if you ask me.

(ROME shudda taken RAHAB out of the lineage when they had the chance...)

The miracle of Christ is that He was born of a sinful woman but was still sinless Himself.

whatever???? Like perhaps an unsoiled vessel, like perhaps a sinless virgin.???? After all, He created 1 other....remember Eve???
