Catholics: Feast of Immaculate Conception - Dec. 8???

[Ben Kenobi]

Are you saying that gods son existed before he was born ? If so, who is his real mother ?

His real mother in the human sense that we have a mother and a father is still Mary.

Christ was begotten 'before all worlds' according to Christians, and that he is Eternal, as God the Father is eternal and God the Holy spirit is Eternal.

Three persons in one God.

Christ has always existed, but only became man in the Incarnation when he was born of a Virgin.

I should be clear on one other thing.

The immaculate conception was a conception in the normal sense, immaculate in that Mary was kept free of original sin.

The Virgin Birth of Christ, is that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary (hence the Annunciation), and did not have a human father in the usual sense of the word.

I actually found it a bit funny that an atheist and a jew discussed cristian matters.

Yet more symantical nitpicking!! Isn't somone who renounces belif in god is esentialy kicked out of the jewish covenent and tecnicaly no longer "a jew".

EDIT: on second though I might have misinterprited their, are you saying that one of the debaters is a Jewish Athiest (what I though originaly) or that one of you is an athiest and other a jew? In which case my nit-pick is invalid.

Technically I'm born as a christian, and as far as I know, then LotM is still a jew.
