Mary did not need to be pure to carry Jesus. She simply needed to be a virgin so that prophecy could be fulfilled.

If Mary would have been sinless, she would have been just like Eve...And the Catholics call her the 2nd Eve...Except she would have had to be like Eve before the Fall...No death, no pain; perfect...Presumably she needed this state of being to produce her perfect son, Jesus...

But how perfect was Jesus in the flesh??? He, like Mary aged (unlike Eve)...Jesus experienced pain...And ultimately the flesh of Jesus (Mary's contribution to the life of Jesus) died...Mary had to have corrupted flesh to produce Jesus with a body that could suffer, and die...

Jesus was made in the form of a man with corrupted flesh, just as we are...The Catholic Mary was not made in the form of a human woman...Her flesh was perfect...Her blood was perfect...She couldn't have produced Jesus in that state...That's why God sent Jesus to be born of a human woman...So he could live in a human body of corruption and temptation...

They make these stories up that couldn't possibly be true and then call themselves the one, true church...The Catholics that do start to read and believe the Bible ultimately leave the Catholic religion...

You guys are hilarious!

Y’all make these pronouncements about what God would or wouldn’t do like kids that think they know snowboarding from all their Xbox experience.

You have the Book. Anything beyond that is just arguing with yourselves over whose dad is tougher.

So now you are resorting to blaspheming God, Himself.

Quite bold of you.

That’s exactly what happened in my case.
