i think you are mixing immaculate conception with jesus birth.Originally Posted by .blank cd
The catholic church (im not catholic so i may be wrong) as i understand it has a set of doctrines or dogma put forth by the Popes over the years and one of them said Mary was the immaculate conception born free of sin and full of grace. That has to do with MARYs BIRTH, not jesus. IIRC but feel free to correct me.
However, you know just because the catholic church says something again, doesnt mean anything. Not everyone is catholic. Not everyone is christian.In the Gospel of Luke, Mary learns from the angel Gabriel that she will conceive and bear a child called Jesus. When she asks how this can be, since she is a virgin, he tells her that the Holy Spirit would "come upon her" and that "nothing will be impossible with God". She responds: "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word".[26] Later Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. John leaps in his mother's womb, recognizing the presence of Jesus, the Messiah.
Science has nothing to do with it. Science can probably prove that a bush cant spontaneously combust or that a man cant simply "part a sea" , but people wrote about it and people believe it. Some dont.
Its your choice whether to believe it or not.
Trying to proclaim your religion as the correct one (atheism) is no better than the people you are preaching against. Youre doing the exact thing you hate about other religions.
Is it possible mary was knocked up by some random guy and Jesus was a nobody who was just really good at convincing people to follow him. Sure.
Is it possible that Jesus was the son of god and Mary was visited by the holy spirit and did some amazing miracles (healing the blind, feeding the famished) , sure.
cant prove either one, we werent there.
