This leads to another question...How does a sinless mother come from sinful grandparents.

Easily answered (spoken by an angel to Mary herself):

"For nothing is impossible with God" ~ Luke 1:37

Or in the words of Jesus:

"....with God all things are possible." ~ Matthew 19:26

I don't really see a biblical problem with this anyway. As a previous post said - the Spirit of God is housed in the sinful flesh of every believer.

you could also look at it like this. A sinless Christ came from a sinless Father. It is important to note that sin entered the world through Adam and not Eve, eventhough Eve was the one that sinned first. It can be said that the sin nature is trasmuted from the father to the son.

The logic of requiring Jesus to have a sinless mother is a little off, because if Mary were sinless, would not her parents need to be sinless in order to conceive her, because how could a sinless vessel, Mary, be born of sinful individuals. If you say then that God could have made it possible, then why can you not say that God made it possible for Jesus?
