Just who is the Immaculate Conception?
Dear friends, today, we're going to clear up some common confusion about a very important doctrine in Catholicism: the Immaculate Conception. You might be wondering, “Just who is the Immaculate Conception?”
First off, let's address a common misconception. The Immaculate Conception refers not to Jesus, but to Mary, His mother. It means that from the very first moment of her conception, Mary was preserved free from original sin. This special grace was given by God in view of the merits of Jesus Christ.
The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was officially defined by Pope Pius IX in 1854. In his papal bull Ineffabilis Deus, he declared that Mary was “in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, preserved exempt from all stain of original sin.”
You might wonder how this belief is supported by Scripture. One key reference is found in the Gospel of Luke. When the angel Gabriel greets Mary, he calls her “full of grace” (Luke 1:28). This phrase is interpreted by the Church to mean that Mary was filled with divine grace from the very beginning, thus preserved from original sin.
But why was it necessary for Mary to be immaculately conceived? This doctrine underscores her unique role in salvation history. As the Mother of Jesus, she needed to be a pure vessel, free from sin, to bear the Son of God. Her immaculate state highlights her total openness to God's will and her role as a model of holiness for all Christians.
Mary is often connected to the Ark of the Covenant in Catholic theology. The Ark was the most sacred item in the Old Testament, housing the Ten Commandments, Aaron's rod, and manna, and representing God's presence among His people. Made of the finest materials and covered in pure gold, the Ark symbolized purity and holiness.
Mary, as the New Ark, carried Jesus, the Son of God, within her womb. Just as the Ark housed the word of God in stone tablets, Mary carried the Word of God made flesh. The connection emphasizes her role as the pure vessel chosen by God to bear His Son.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated on December 8th each year. It is a holy day of obligation in some countries. This feast reminds us of God's immense grace and the special place Mary holds in our faith.
So, just who is the Immaculate Conception? It is Mary, conceived without original sin, chosen by God to be the Mother of our Savior. This doctrine is a beautiful testament to God's grace and Mary's pivotal role in our salvation.
As we reflect on this profound mystery, let us turn to our Blessed Mother for her intercession:
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen.

      Jesus already atoned for our sin. We need to abide in Him and listen to His Holy Spirit. There's no purgatory: Heb 1:3 ...when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Burned up works refers to the Day of the Lord not purgatory: 2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn.

    This article talks to 5 mortal sins (and in the process, references the wrong commandments in some of the instances). Other vids state 12 or 15 different mortal sins. Videos like this are a fair starting point, I suppose; but if you want to get a definite yes or no to the question, go talk to a priest.

    Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. Purgatory is not a place where people wait to go to heaven, but rather a place where they wait upon judgement.

    Get a copy of "Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, a minister from Scotland, who did extensive research into the catholic religion. Read about just where the catholic religion celebrations came from. Did you know that December 25 was the birthday of the pagan god Tammuz....???? (according to Hislop) The book is FULL of foot notes so you can see where he got his information..

    I had heard that women covered their head so men didn't get turned on. I also heard it was so ANGELS didn't get turned on. I guess so, because in Cor 11:10 it says " It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. " The Nephilim were supposed to have been produced this way.
