Upset? I'm not upset. I find the whole thing quite laughable. Not Mary's egg? Puh-leeze. I'm still waiting for someone from the non-Catholic side to take that one on. There is no biblical evidence to support such a claim. Quester said he sided with Dave, but there's still not much in the way of rebuking that erroneous statement.

I won't take it on simply because I had never heard this novel idea before, and after considering it, I decided it made no difference.

Do you find more Biblical support for the Immaculate Conception and Bodily Assumption of Mary?

BTW, I do agree the "Mary" thing is close to an obsession with biblewonk. On the other hand, I find some of his postings interesting and I find no lies in anything he has posted.

How can it make no difference? It obviously makes an enormous difference as to who Jesus is. If He is actually the Son of Mary, this is different than if she was a mere surrogate.

The honor accorded to Mary changes.

But, that is nothing. The real issue, as I asked the others, is how Jesus can take on our sins if He isn't even related to us?

If He is not a man, truly a man, descended from Adam, then how does He redeem us?

There are soooooo many errors in the RC church that it simply becomes confusing to try and address them all. I can't stand their false manmade priesthood, I can't stand their manmade popehood, I can't stand their definition of grace, I can't stand their weak Jesus the belief in whom has almost nothing to do with salvation, I can't stand their transubstantiation, I can't stand their works doctrine, I can't stand their purgatory, I can't stand their relics and pomp and cerimony, I can't stand their bloody history, I can't stand the robes and the pepper shaker on a stick. But I have to stay on target with what I think is the most grievous error. Maybe I should have picked their weak Jesus and focused on a purer gospel.
