Sorry Brakelite I responded to the wrong person. I meant to respond to Aunty Jane. Sorry about that.

I thought I responded to someone else. The virgin and child were often represented in pagan culture by Semeramus and Tamuz. But Hislop's work was more of a hit-piece on the Catholic Church than an actual academic study. I can find enough to disagree with the Catholic Church without making stuff up.

Science and the Bible are incompatible. We all know that the earth orbits the sun and is held in place by the gravitational force. But in Genesis the sun wasn't created until the 4th day. What held the earth in place before then? How did we have an evening and a morning? It had to be a miracle...

It's no mystery. We have the word of an angel that what was conceived in Mary was of the Holy Spirit. It was a much greater miracle than old women having babies because no man was involved in Mary's pregnancy. Without the immaculate conception there would be no lamb without spot or blemish to...

One thing we know is that he never sinned. So it really doesn't matter. You can argue over whether he could have or not but all that really matters is that he didn't.

It could be an indication of the Trinity because Jesus said no one has seen God, referring to the Father.
