I mean the dogma of the Roman Catholic Church concerning Mary. No fair looking it up! And those with some Roman Catholic upbringing are not allowed to answer.

1. something to do with Mary being born without original sin

So that she would be a worthy mother to Jesus

[El Supremo]

2. Are you sure?

Wasn't it the same as the Annunciation?

[dimbear]

3. It's the supplementary book to Genesis: Parthenogenesis. n/t

4. How about those with a lot of Roman Catholic upbringing?

[El Supremo]

5. Then I hope you became Protestant.

6. uh - yeah

the immaculate conception refers to the fact that mary was impregnated by god via an angel.

meant that she remained a virgin since she did not have vaginal sex.

still seems like a fairy story to explain being knocked up by somebody not your husband.

[El Supremo]

8. Nope! Fail!

That is what I thought for all of my 61 years until I looked it up this week. But we Protestants don't concern ourselves with all that dogma. We have our own! It's a Dogma eat Dogma world.

7. The first response is the correct answer...

...doctrine says that.

[El Supremo]

9. Then if she was without sin...

then Jesus didn't save her like all of us? That's what Martin Luther and others argued. I say, who cares?

[xfundy]

10. Yes. But only in one scenario.

Mary took it in the ear. I'm not making this up. That's the story.

The invisible man is the father. I'm not making that up, either. Look it up.

11. mary and god washed up afterwards so Joseph wouldn't find out? nt
