Jim, another thought. Remember Isaiah has a vision and has his lips seared with a coal to purify them. Because nothing impure can stand in God's presence. How do we expect the Holy Spirit to come upon Mary without destroying her unless she is first made clean, a worthy receptacle for God to reside in? I'll admit that an immaculate conception would be preferable to hot coals...

Why do you think Jesus is more holy before He is born than after He is born? Why do you think is more Holy before He was born than after He was born? And what scripture supports this idea?
