Ask a more cogent question regarding the tpoic of discussion (the IC). [Regarding your oblique question: I am Saved by His Blood shed for me. Jesus is my Savior, my soter, my God in flesh as shown in John Chapter One. I am saved because of God’s Promise of His Grace in Christ Jesus and my utter reliance upon Him only.]

My question is far more cogent than, apparently, you think. First, let me say that what you said in brackets after the above sentence, I have no problem with. Second, I too, do not consider the “immaculate conception” to be Scriptural doctrine. It is not taught in the Scriptures clearly, plainly, and unambiguously. Therefore, it cannot be taken as Christian doctrine. Third, I find the reasons that you cite for not accepting the doctrine of the immaculate conception not only to be different than my reasons, but actually more problematic, and less faithful to the Scriptures than that you are trying to refute.
