This is not Immaculate Conctption
I know I've posted this on several boards, but I'm going to repeat it.
Virgin birth is NOT Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Conception is a uniquely Catholic belief and it refers to Mary. Mary was Immaculately conceived with the stain of Original Sin. This happened so she could conceive Jesus, the Son of God.
I know its easy to confuse it, because it sort of sounds like it simply means miraculous birth.
Please understand that I am not insisting anyone believe in the Immaculate Conception, or Catholicism, or Christianity. I am asking to use correct terminology when referencing existing beliefs. I would insist on the same for any religion or philosophy and am certainly open to taking criticism if I misstate something from another religion or philosophy.
