Just gonna say that, but ya beat me to it. It was Mary, not Jeebus.
What . . .???? What do you mean? Mary was supposed to have been born to a virgin? What?!!?
What about jeebus?
This story gets wackier and wackier . . .
I've always heard Mary referred to as the Virgin Mary, implying that she was a virgin at the time she gave birth to Jeebus (presumably she had sex for any future children - otherwise, what the hell was Joseph doing with her?!). Although I have heard that she was the one that was supposed to have been born to a virgin.
It's all a little unclear... and, ya know, unbelievable.
@scurry the term Immaculate Conception refers to Pope Pius IX's declaration that Mary's birth was free from original sin. It has nothing to do with Jesus.
@EricTrommater ok - understood, and yet... we (well, not "we" ) refer to her a the Virgin Mary.
Not that it really matters, I suppose it's just one more misunderstanding/mistranslation of a fairytale.
@EricTrommater so Pope declared that Mary was supposed to have been born to a virgin??
And Everyone else (xians) think it was just JC who was born immaculate
But were both immaculate conception? Or either or neither?
Actually I know the answer. It's all pure bullshit, no matter who said what.
