I'm not guessing. It is the consistent teaching of the Church that Jesus was truly Mary's Son. If He did not get His humanity from His mother, where woudl He have gotten it?

The same place Adam got his, from being made of the earth, and his earthly body and human spirit telling him what it wants to eat.

Adam had no mother, and he was the first to sin, so how did his sin get passed on to him?

Think that through again. How could ANY sin "get passed on to him" unless it came from God?

Adam received none (except from Eve I guess). He came up with it all by himself.

This Jesus is then totally unrelated to any other human being.

So how, exactly, does His Sacrifice redeem us, those of us related to Adam and Eve? How can He represent us, How can He be the bridge between broken man and righteous Creator, if He is not one of us?

I'm continually amazed at how little you people have thought through the implications of what you say.

Adam and Eve had no original sin. Nothing got "passed on" to them. They committed the original sin of disobeying God. This deprived them of fellowship with God and this lack of fellowship has been passed on to all of us from them.
