And WHO is "denying" that Jesus came in the flesh??
The entire Catholic Church denies that Jesus took on the fallen flesh nature of fallen man through their insistence that Jess was born of a sinless woman. This removes Jesus from humanity and makes Him one that did NOT partake of our nature at all...a direct contradiction to scripture.
The Greek word Kecharitomene that Luke used in his Gospel (v.1:28), which is the perfect passive participle, indicates a completed action with permanent result. It translates, “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace.” Kecharitomene is not a mere description here. It is used as a TITLE.
The Angel didn’t say, “Hail Mary, full of grace.” He said, "Hail, "Kecharitomene."
I would like to see the original text this comes from please.
And nobody said that Jesus HAD to be be born of a sinless woman.
The Catholic Church insists that in order for Jesus to live a sinless life and be born without original sin, He needed to be born of a sinless woman. The entire concept of original sin is a corruption of scripture which removes the responsibility for sin away from the individual and places it on Adam. We sin by choice, not because we inherited original sin from our parents.
That's just the way God willed it.
No, God
willed that Jesus was born of the fallen nature of man, not the unfallen nature. Even Paul was so bold as to state categorically that it was
necessary for Jesus to be born of sinful flesh. Speaking of Christ Paul says...
Hebrews 2:17
17 Wherefore in all things it
behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
That word behoved (Gr. opheilo) is a string word and means 'under obligation', 'must', should', 'ought', indebted', duty', 'owe'. If Christ was to be a merciful and faithful High Priest , Paul says it "behoves" Him in
all things to be made
like His brethren. This is obligatory!! It is His duty He owes and must not avoid.
Jesus cannot make reconciliation for men unless He takes His place with them and in all things becomes like them!!!! He should. He must. He ought to. He in under obligation to. He owes it. Unless He has to struggle with the same temptations men do, He cannot sympathise with them. One who has never been hungry, who has never been weak or sick, who has never struggled with temptations, is unable to fully sympathise with those who are thus afflicted.
For this reason it is necessary for Christ in all things, to become like His brethren. If He is to be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, He must Himself be "compassed with infirmity". Hebrews 4:15; 5:2. Therefore if men are afflicted, He must also be afflicted "in all their affliction". Isaiah 83:9 Christ Himself testifies "I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting". Isaiah 50:5,6.
He "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses" Matthew 8:17.In nothing Christ spared Himself. These experiences were all necessary if Christ was to be a merciful High Priest. Now, He can sympathise withj every child of humanity, for He knows hunger by actual experience and weakness and temptation and sorrow and affliction and pain, and feeling forsaken of God and man. He has been tempted in all points like as we are,
yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 It is the fact that Christ was born in the likeness of fallen flesh that enabled HIm to be the sympathising High Priest that He is.
If we have in
any sense a more trying conflict than had Christ, then He would not be able to succour us. But our Saviour took humanity with all its liabilities. He took the nature of man with the possibility of yielding to temptation. We have nothing to bear which He has not endured.
For the Catholic Church to teach as she does that Christ was NOT born of the fallen nature of Adam but was exempt from that handicap through being born of a sinless woman, is to deny truth...it sets in the mind that Jesus overcame because He had an advantage over us therefore we cannot overcome sin. It sets in the mind the idea that we can get to heaven without having to repent of sin. It sets in the mind that sinners will eventually get to heaven (either through Purgatory or a miracle at the second coming) which completely negates true sanctification and removes the necessary and essential doctrine of Christ's mediatorial role in the heavenly sanctuary as our High Priest. IT pretends that the atoning work of salvation was finished at the cross and all we need is to accept Christ regardless of our obedience or lack thereof subsequent to our "acceptance of salvation".
On another note it pretends that Christ didn't really truly die at Calvary. That because He was divine, He couldn't die. Sorry, but a human sacrifice, no matter how worthy, was insufficient to atone for offenses against deity. If deity was transgressed against, then only deity could redeem the transgressor. I pray you may have a mind open enough to understand the consequences and ramifications that evolve from the false concept of the "immaculate conception".
