The lie of the immaculate conception of Mary

It is so incredibly widespread within the Catholic church that Mary was conceived with no sin and had no sin throughout her life.

I have been receiving so much hate mail for my disproving this so I had to go further into the topic to really show this is just not true.


Even within the doctrines of the Catholic Church, the church itself, declares that this is a dogma. It is not fact, it is just a belief. But you have to ask yourself, where does this belief come from and is it supported by scripture? I use the word scripture,since of course, the word "bible" does not appear in scripture.

When you have a religious belief, it is important that you can provide support for that, when challenged. The reason being, how can you spread the truth and word of God, if you don't why you believe what you do.

I have asked this of those of the catholic faith and I am almost always answered the same way. That she (Mary) bore Christ who was sinless so she must have been sinless too. This is very simply wrong. It is not supported anywhere within the scripture and actually, is taught otherwise. That no one differs from another and we have all sinned. I have to quote this scripture quite often and I will do so again now.

Romans 3:22-24

22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

So this is clearly saying that we all sin. How can someone say that it does not apply to everyone? It does apply to everyone.

1 Corinthians 4:7


7 For who makes you differ from another?

So why do these believes insist that Mary was sinless when scripture says otherwise? We are told not to go beyond what is written, so how can someone justify going beyond what is written?

1 Corinthians 4:6

"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." 1 Corinthians 4:6

So they are either purposely going against the scripture, or they have not read it for themselves and are merely relying on someone to tell them what it says.
