    This came from a Catholic site:
    http://thedivinemercy.org/news/story.php?NID=3369


    Of course, there is no biblical support for this. To me, rather than stretch things to explain how Christ was born of a sinner, it is much more awesome and wonderful to know that God can engineer such a thing for the human incarnation of the Son of God, and that Jesus can be human and God at the same time.

    Marcia - That's my understanding but honestly, I was saved when I was in Catholic school and I had a lot of hard work contradicting the nuns and priests in religion class. LOL I didn't have to listen overly closely to every detail because I knew it was wrong. ;)

    What I have to laugh about is the idea that Jesus could only be sinless by being born to a sinless mother - but Mary could be born sinless to a sinful mother. Weird. Made no sense to me.

    Oh, didn't know you were saved while in that school. Thanks for clarifying!

    I'm satisfied with the information the Lord has given us on Jesus Christ - it's sufficient. I don't like too much speculation on the how's or why's if it strays off into weird extrabiblical theories or theologies, which some people passionately defend. :wavey:

    No - it's funny actually. My family was Catholic and my mom came to the Lord. I came to the Lord a week later when I was 7 years old. I continued in public school for a couple of years but then my mom sent me to Christian school along with my two brothers. When we moved, I couldn't go to that Christian school any longer and the Christian school around the corner from us was SOOOOO legalistic it would make you ill. I didn't want to go to the public school so I chose in 7th grade to go to Catholic school. I continued through 12th grade in Catholic school. So while I was in school from 7th to 12th grades, I was saved and worked hard to contradict everything that was taught wrongly in religion class. I must have been SUCH a pain to those teachers but I did what I felt was right. So just a clarification on the clarification. LOL So I know the basic teaching but lots of it either just clearly didn't make sense and I forgot it or else I knew the overall teaching was wrong and didn't need the nitty gritty details to refute it. :

    Doesn't scripture tells us all we really need to know?

    Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said to her, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the Holy Offspring shall be called the Son of God.'"

    We don't have to know the details of "how" God did it. It is enough to know that He came upon Mary with the power of Holy Spirit and the result was that sinless God-man was concieved in a sinful woman, and yet no sin passed in the event of the incarnation.

    peace to you:praying:

    Thank you. I am familiar with scripture. I don't have a problem with an immaculate conception and birth. Some people think it is too Catholic.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    You don't have a problem with the doctrine that Mary was without sin?

    peace to you:praying:

    Again, the "immaculate conception" is a term that is used by the Catholic church to describe MARY'S conception. NOT Jesus'.
