Refuting Immaculate Conception


Now we will discuss the Catholic Church's dogma about Mary being an Immaculate Conception. Is this Biblical that Mary was born w/o original sin?

What is the doctrine of the Catholic Church about Mary as Immaculate Conception?

"Through the Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis Deus Pope Pius IX officially promulgated the the dogma  of Immaculade Conception in 1854 That Mary in the first instance of her Conception was preserved free from all stain of original sin."

This dogma of Immaculate Conception was invented by Pope Piux IX in 1854. this is not an apostolic teaching. where in this dogma, Mary was protected free of shred of original sin.

First, We dont believe that each infant was born by God's will with shred of original sin for the reason that It can be inherited by a parents the sins to their child or the sins of Adam and Eve, Instead all men were created by God upright and pure according to the plan (read Ecclesiastes 7:29, Ephesians 1:4) so no infant was born bearing the original sin (read John 9:1-3)

The proof is that in the womb the servant of God prophet Jeremiah was sanctified by God

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. " (Jeremiah 1:5)

So prophet Jeremiah in the womb of his mother was sanctified by the Lord. so Prophet Jeremiah is considered also Immaculate.

Now a child or an infant according to the teaching of the Scriptures that his personality is not yet complete.

"When I was a CHILD I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I BECAME A MAN, I put away childish things" (1 Cor. 13:11)

It only happen when the personality of a child if a child became mature in his thinking (read 1 Cor. 14:20) or if a child reached the right age (1 Cor. 7:36) there it is considered his personality complete it is because an infant or a child has no experience in the words of righteousness (Hebrews 4:13) and an infant does not know the right and wrong (Isaiah 7:16) So an infant or a child is considered SAVED (Matthew 19:14)

Now, Mary the mother of Lord Jesus do not remain as a child or an infant. her personality became complete. so she called Jesus as SON OF MAN (Or Son of Man who is Mary - Matthew 16:13)

Mary's personality became complete as a woman. Mary as a human should possibly be tainted with sin because the Holy Scriptures say that NO MAN who do not sin (1 Chronicles 6:36)

When then sin entered the world and death by sin and by this men will experience it because all have sinned (Romans 5:12) Because all have sinned and never reach the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

So Mary also is not free on sin because according to the word of God "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

And Mary as a human and became complete as a maiden became filthy in her own monthly period (Leviticus 18:19) but still we believe that God sanctified the holy woman who is Mary (1 Cor. 6:11) because she will be used to bear the body of the infant Jesus so God protected her. to become an honorable vessel to be used rightfully by the owner (2 Timothy 2:21)

The proof that Mary do sin is Mary needed a Saviour (Luke 1:46-47) and the Saviour will save from her sins (Matthew 1:21, 1 Peter 2:24)
