Interesting that you don’t limit God in believing that He can send His Only Son to be born of a Virgin, but you do have problems that He could keep her sinless. I read somewhere that the wood of the Ark of the Covenant was made of “incorruptible” wood.
See this link: http://www.indefenseofourmother.org/index2.html:
“For starters, it should always be noted that Mary’s selection as the dwelling place of God was not random. She had been prepared for him, as the Ark of the Covenant had been specially created to enshrine its sacred contents (Ex. 25:9).

The Ark of the Covenant was made of incorruptible acacia wood, and was laden in and out with the finest gold. A golden lid was placed upon it, and golden angels were mounted atop this. On the lid were gold rings, and golden poles were placed through them so it could be carried by sanctified priests, and for good reason: it was a sacred dwelling.In it was to be found the bread from heaven, the word of God in the commandments, and the staff of Aaron, which was used as an instrument for Israel’s redemption.

However, these were only signs pointing towards the reality fulfilled in Christ. He was the true bread from heaven, the actual Word of God, and the true instrument of our redemption. If God commanded that such a lavish dwelling be created for bread, stone tablets and a stick, how much more would he splurge to make fitting the dwelling of the second person of the Trinity!

Being the New Ark of the Covenant, how could Mary be a worthy dwelling place for the Second Person of the Trinity if she were, as John calls sinners, “of the devil”? (1 Jn. 3:8). If nothing unclean can enter heaven (Rev. 21:27), how could the very holiness of heaven enter something unclean? The Old Testament tells us, “wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul,” or dwell “in a body under debt of sin” (Wis. 1:4). Since Jesus is Wisdom incarnate, it was not fitting that he dwell in a body under debt of sin.”

I’m a recent convert, and looked at all the “stumbling blocks” which disappeared once you study the actual Catechism. A Wonderful Study!

Good for House Speaker Boehner for holding to his guns and not caving to Obama’s nonsense.

Time to call State Controller John Chiang again to say: Don't pay Legislators for their second Phony Budget plan! This second unbalanced budget violates Prop. 25's requirement to pass a budget by June 15, or legislators' pay is docked. John Chiang: Sacramento (916) 445-2636 Office (916) 322-4404 FAX Los Angeles (213) 833-6010 Office (213) 833-6011 (FAX) PASS THIS ALONG TO BOMBARD CHIANG'S PONE LINES!
