Was the Virgin Mary conceived with sin?

Answer 1

Those who preach the immaculate conception of Mary say that it really means she was born free of the stain of original sin. The thought was that Jesus would have inherited a sinful nature from Mary had she been a sinner. But if God was capable of protecting Mary from sin, he would surely have been able to protect Jesus from sin in the same way. Thus, from a Protestant point of view, a circular argument.

The Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception was unknown in the early years of the Church, but arose in the Middle Ages. The doctrine was endorsed by the Council of Basel (1431-1449), and by the end of the 15th century was widely professed and taught in many theological faculties. However, the Council of Basel was later held not to have been a true General Council with authority to proclaim dogma. Pope Pius IX formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception ex cathedra in 1854, stressing that Mary's sinlessness was not due to her own merits, but by the merits of her son, Jesus.

So, whether or not Mary was conceived without sin is a matter of faith, a faith held by members of the Roman Catholic Church.

No, Mary was not conceived without sin. In The Bible, only male offspring can be the product of God assisted pregnancy, never female.

All women (and men) are born with sin because of what Eve (and Adam) did in the Garden. Mary was born with sin.

Answer 2

Mary Magdalene was not conceived without original sin. You are confusing Mary Magdalene with Mary the mother of Jesus. The Catholic Church teaches Mary the mother of Jesus was conceived without original sin, but this is not taught in scripture, but a belief held by the church.

Answer 3

Sorry, but Mary was a human being like all of us. The Bible says "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. In order to cleanse us from sin, God sent in 'only' son, Jesus who was the only sinless man, to die for fallen mankind. (For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten so so that whosoever believes on Him, will have everlasting life." Mary needed her sins and mistakes washed by the blood of Jesus just like you and me. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." No one can be 'good enough' to save themselves. Only Jesus blood can cleanse us from sin. We must repent and ask Jesus to come into our hearts and lives. Then the Hold Spirit will guide and lead us to righteousness, love and peace. We all nave a God vacuum in our lives that only Jesus can fill. Ask God to wash you clean and come into your life. He will and you will know it.

Answer 4

The point is that DAVID WAS DEAD AND BURRIED,HENCE JESUS BEING THE SON OF DAVID, BORN FROM THE FRUIT OF DAVIDS LOINS, CLEARLY STATES THE PRESENCE OF THE VIRGEN MARY WITHIN THE SPULCHURE OF THE BURRIED PATRIARCH DAVID, REVEALING THE VIRGEN SPIRIT OF MOTHER AND HOLY CHILD IN SUCH AN IMACULATE SPULCHER, OUR ETERNAL EMANUEL, GODS HOLY GHOST, GOD WITH US, ETERNALY REVEALD IN THE SPULCHER OF DAVID,IN THE SPIRIT OF MARY, IN THE WOMB AND HOLYNESS THAT REVEALS HIM

Answer 5

Our Blessed Lady was conceived without sin because she was to bear God in her womb, and raise Him. Jesus was God meaning that He was all Goodness. Sin is evil. Evil is nothing, literally, it is the ABSENCE of Good. As Our Lady was conceiving and bearing all Goodness, incarnate, evil could not touch her, that would be absurd. Thus her Immaculate Conception was fitting because of who she was to bear.

Pope Pius IX solemnly defined the dogma of Mary's Immaculate Conception on December 8, 1854. This dogma teaches that Mary was conceived without original sin through no merit of her own, but through the intervention of almighty God in view of her role in salvation history.

Our Blessed Lord was God and no sin could touch Him. Every single human being who was ever conceived is conceived, since Adam and Eve, in a state of original sin. Now original sin is not something positive, it is a lack, it is like Adam and Eve lost the gene for original justice and sanctifying grace and thus didn't have it to pass on to their offspring. This is why we baptize babies, to restore original justice and sanctifying grace to the infant to enable them to grow in grace.

Through the Immaculate Conception, through a singular privilege, she was conceived in her mother's womb without original sin, she never contracted a fallen nature, and never inherited the condition nor the effects of original sin, and remained eminently holy her entire life.

Consider the analogy sometimes used of a pit in a road way that people fall into. Our Salvation, was accomplished through Our Blessed Lord's passion, death, and resurrection. This would be God rescuing us from the pit in which we have fallen. BUT, God could also save us by preventing us from every falling in the pit to begin with. That is what He did in the case of Our Blessed Lady. It was the exact same salvation available to us, but it was applied to her - in time - before the actual event took place, from our point of view.

Dr. Zia uses the examples of when we sit down to dinner, we make sure we have clean hands so that our food does not become dirty. Before we go to Mass, we likewise make sure our hands are clean and we fast from all food for an hour before receiving Holy Communion so that we are clean inside and ready to receive Our Blessed Lord. And the priest makes sure the sacred vessels are spotless before confecting the Eucharist. In a similar manner, God chose to come into the world through the spotless womb of Mary, a pure tabernacle untainted with the defilement of sin.

The dogma goes further in teaching that Our Blessed Lady remained free from every actual sin during her entire lifetime. Thus the archangel Gabriel would address her "Hail Mary, full of grace."
