Apparently God wanted a pure receptacle for the birth of His Son. Of course it wasn't necessary or essential. But, He decided on creating another human without sin. Mary was sinless at conception and remained so always. She didn't HAVE to but she did.

Im glad you agree that the immaculate birth wasn't necessary. The theological mathematics that deem it necessary are presumptuous and silly.

What evidence is there that God chose to make Mary sinless?

What would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way?

1. Heck if I know. You'd have to ask the scholars on this site. What I learned (beyond Catholic grammar and high school) I learned from homilies, adult cathechism classes, Catholic Answers, EWTN discussions and presentations, etc. THEY quoted chapter and verse but I did NOT take notes. I DO remember that the angel Gabriel addressed Mary, as Mary, full of grace. If she were not full, I ponder, then perhaps there would be sin to fill in the lack of fullness. But, since she was full...dot, dot, dot.

2. We'd be "sitting" on our bellies. It WOULDN'T be pretty.
