Dec 23, 2015 · The mother of Romulus and Remus , Rhea Silvia, a Vestal Virgin, was impregnated by Mars. And, for an example of a gender inversion, Venus is said to have conceived her son Aeneas through intercourse with the Trojan prince, Anchises. While the latter myth has its origins in Greece, the account of the birth of Romulus and Remus is intrinsically ...

Dec 8, 2020 · The Greek word translated as “full of grace” is kekaritomene, which is translated literally as “she who has been graced.” The use of this particular verb tense, the perfect passive tense, to describe Mary indicates that something has been completed in her that is reflected in her current state of being [9].

The Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception does not mean that Mary's mother was a virgin when she conceived Mary. Mary's parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne, conceived her in the usual way (We know their names from early Christians). Nor is it aboutthe conception of Jesus by Mary and the Holy Spirit. The dogma simply means that through the me...
An Evangelical emailed us saying "Mary needed a Saviour." Yes, Christ, "conquered the enemy of the human race alone (solus)". In the same way, He alone acquired the grace of Redemption for the whole human race,including Mary..." (Dr. Ludwigg Otto, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma 212-13). In 1854, Pope Pius IX pronounced the Dogma like this "... the ...
I (Hugh) stayed with an Orthodox Jewish family in Israel. When they talked about the Ark of the Covenant, they sounded like Catholics talking about Mary. The Ark was built immaculately, as perfect as it could be under the Old Covenant. If God wanted the vessel that would carry the Word of God made "stone" immaculate (Ex 25:10), we think He would re...
Jesus is not a slave to time. Jesus was the rock in the desert that provided water for the Israelites fleeing Egypt long before he was born. (Exo 17:6). John says "He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him." (Jn 1:2-3). Elijah was taken up to heaven before Christ was born. There is a mystery in Jesus and our 3.5 pound...
On a message board, an Evangelical said: This gets to the heart of the question. Why would God create Jesus in a sinful human vessel? We believe the answer is that He didn't. He purified the vessel. That is what the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is all about. So our friend is mistaken about what we teach. Most Evangelical theologians teach ...
Scripture tells us that besides Jesus, God conceived two other humans without sin. They were Adam and Eve. They were conceived in a sinless state. Catholics believe that Mary is the new Eve. A more complete comparison table of Mary as the New Eve is here. If God conceived Eve without sin, then we think it is logical that he also conceived Mary, who...
Some Evangelical churches teach that before the age of reason, everyone is bound for heaven, which is why they don't baptise babies. They believe that humans only begin sinning when they reach the age of reason, and when they consciously choose sin. Given those beliefs they would say that everyone is conceived without sin because conception is cert...
Catholics believe the role of baptismis to cleanse us of original sin that began with Adam eating the apple in the garden of Eden, that caused the downfall of humankind, and introduced death into the world. Catholics baptize shortly after birth to wash away the original sin and to infuse the child with the grace of the Holy Spirit. What the Doctrin...
One question Scott Hahn asks people who doubt the validity of Mary's "Immaculate Conception" is this: if you could make your mom completely free of all the effects of original sin would you do it? We believe most of us would say "yes, certainly." Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to do it because we are not God. However, Jesus is God and he could ...
The Immaculate Conception was defined as a pious belief in 1453 and declared a doctrine by Pope Pius in 1854. But we must realize that the Church does not make something Dogma out of thin air. It is made Dogma after many centuries of careful considerations. For instance, the Trinity took 300 years to turn into Dogma. The New Testament itself took 4...
4 days ago · 1. Who does the Immaculate Conception refer to? There’s a popular idea that it refers to Jesus’ conception by the Virgin Mary. It doesn’t. Instead, it refers to the special way in which the Virgin Mary herself was conceived. This conception was not virginal. (That is, she had a human father as well as a human mother.)
Nov 24, 2015 · A deductive, biblical argument for the Immaculate Conception, with premises derived directly from Scripture, might look like this: 1. The Bible teaches that we are saved by God’s grace. 2. To be ...
To the Greek Orthodox of our days, however, the feast means very little; they continue to call it "Conception of St. Anne", indicating unintentionally, perhaps, the active conception which was certainly not immaculate.
