Good Question!


If sinlessness is claimed for the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ so she could be pure enough to bear the Savior, should it also be claimed for Mary’s mother so she could be pure enough to bear Mary?  Where does the process stop?  The Bible stops it by claiming sinlessness only for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Dr. Harold J. Berry, What They Believe, p.188


Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Catholics — can you answer that?  Where does the process stop?

    There are none so blind as those that will not see.

    Deception, false religions, false teachers, will continue to erode the church, UNTIL His people say "enough is enough." As long as the majority swallow and follow pulpit pimps these teachings will flourish - and sadly not just in the RCC.

    Hi, Glenn. They say that it stops with Mary's conception.

    A lot of people think the "Immaculate Conception" is a reference to Christ's conception. It isn't. It is a reference to Mary's conception. Of course, it is completely a human invention, the Scriptures tell us nothing about Mary being sinless or having an "Immaculate Conception."

    So anyway, that is how far back it goes, to Mary's conception. Why? Because they say so. It isn't in Scripture, it isn't even in early Catholic dogma. It became dogma in 1854.

    Another chapter in Roman Catholic idolatry and nonsense.

    Hi Jon,

    But it is still a good question. Because they say so? Why? My question is the same - why does Mary have to be immaculately conceived but her mother didn't? I want them to answer that with more than "because we say so." They can't. And that PROVES they lie about Mary, too.

    Great quote Glen,

    I recently learned from my college aged son whose roommate is a devout catholic, whom we love dearly. So very thankful for a roommate who doesn't drink alcohol at college as our children do not want to go down that road.....

    Anyway, the roommate signed up for one hour of "Adoration" at the college catholic center so he could be with Jesus...so I asked "what is adoration?" I learned that adoration is where the individual basically baby sits the wine and the bread which they believe is the literal blood and flesh of Jesus.

    This is utter blasphemy as far as I am concerned.

    Carolyn,

    That's funny! I've never heard of that before.
