How was Mary concieved

[JimG]

YAQUBOS:

Yes, if these people added anything to the biblical teaching about the birth of Mary.

No, if they didn’t add anything to the biblical teaching about the birth of Mary.

I think that Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli did believe in the immaculate conception of Mary, with respect to being conceived without original sin . But they believe (as do Catholics) that her birth came about in the natural way.

A small question.

How would the Church describe the condition of a faithful, repentant Catholic who has just partaken of Holy Communion at Mass?

excellent question. He would be "full of grace! " But, your logic only futher testifies to Mary having this grace in anticipation of christs passion. Christ had not actually died yet, he hadnt even being born…You just proved the immaculate conception to yourself. are you listening?

And what greater honor could Jesus give to his mother than to be the first to receive his redemptive grace!!
