It just means Mary was a pure vessel to carry the Christ child. You're kind of a dolt.
No, you're a Scriptural illiterate. You realize that you are calling the Scripture a liar?

usually 3 strikes and the batter is out - in this case its 4 fallacies any one of which makes christianity a fake, makebelive religion it somehow, inexplicably survives on the absolute absurdities no person in their right mind would normally ever believe.
rather the true intent of the 1st century events is the repudiation of judaism, false commandments, hereditary idolatry etc as taught by jesus and rather liberation theology, self determination as the true path to the everlasting.
You go ahead and run with that Jethro.
Dear jwoodie, I taught Sunday School when my 2 children were in First grade and preschool, respectively. Except my church needed a teacher for fourth, fifth, and sixth grade children. In addition to our national church curriculum, I must have read the Standard and King James version cover to cover twice, when stories for children were my prime reads.Christian doctrine seems to include the following beliefs:
1. Jesus was God in human form (immaculate conception);
2. Jesus performed miracles;
3. Jesus was God's blood sacrifice for our sins; and
4. Jesus physically arose from the dead.
My question is whether someone must accept all of these beliefs in order to be a Christian. What if Jesus was not immaculately conceived? What if He did not perform miracles? What if God did not demand His blood sacrifice? What if He did not physically arise from the dead?
I have always considered myself to be a Christian, but I have serious doubts as to the literal application of these beliefs. For example, how could Jesus be a man if he didn't possess X Chromosomes? From the Creator of the Universe, miracles seem like cheap card tricks. Did the New Testament God of Love really demand a human sacrifice? How would a human body physically ascend to Heaven?
Are all of these beliefs necessary to accept the authority of Christ's teachings?
