This post is titled Immaculate Conception??? but the actual reason for my writing this is to correct the preconceived idea that caused the Romans Catholics to believe that it was necessary or fitting that Mary, herself, be born without sin, to bear Jesus. The fictional story that turned into a "holy tradition" was not necessary because Mary was a woman...
I also want to show why this is so important for us, so read to the end.
In the Garden of Eden, when Eve was deceived by the serpent and took a bite of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, nothing happened to her. But when she gave the fruit to Adam and he took a bite, BOTH of their eyes were opened and they saw their nakedness.
Eve was deceived into thinking she would be like God, but Adam willfully sinned, knowing full well it was disobedience against God. This is why the original sin is always placed on Adam. And because Eve was deceived, God put the man as head over the woman. This is also why in the second commandment, Exodus 20:5 and Exodus 34:7, the mother is not mentioned, only the father. "For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me," Otherwise the commandment would have been "parents" to include the woman.
The theory of the immaculate conception is not found in scripture, but was thought up because of their human reasoning that the sins of the mother would have been passed on, when in actuality Jesus did not receive a carnal nature from His mother for the simple reason she was a woman, and with God as His Father, even as a child Jesus was sinless, therefore, even though He was tempted in all things, He never sinned.
This is also why God is always referred to as male, and not female, or even "it." It may also be why pagan religions have goddesses with a child. Satan counterfeits everything of God and reverses it, perverts it, or makes it upside down, like the upside down crucifix.
Now why is this important to us? Because when we are born again, we are born of God. Romans 6:2 says we are dead to sin. Romans 8:9 says we are not in the flesh/our carnal nature if we have the Holy Spirit in us (how we are born again). And this is why 1 John 3:5-9 is TRUTH we should test ourselves against:
5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
Remember, that this life is our testing ground to be perfected. Hebrews 12:14 says "14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord"
Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
