Was there just one immaculate conception or were there several with several Jesus's born?

Question

One Jesus might have been risky, disease or wars could have knocked him out of the running so maybe there were several Jesus's born as insurance...several young girls suddenly miraculously pregnant , maybe the other Jesus's didn't all make it but just maybe some did.

Answer 1

You don't seem to know the difference between the Immaculate Conception and the Virgin Birth.

The Immaculate Conception has to do with when Mary was born:

The Virgin Birth is when Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary:

If you are going to ridicule my faith by proposing something so silly as multiple Jesus's being born by multiple virgins, at least get the terms right!

Answer 2

I don't think Jesus existed in the way portrayed in the bible, and certainly the bible is not a history book or an autobiography of Jesus.
The early Rabbinic record of the Jewish faith , a document called "Dialogue with Trypho", written by St Justin Martyr circ 160 AD recorded what is basically an argument that Just Martyr had with a Jewish man called Trypho. In this document, Trypho mentioned a "groundless report" and also clearly and unequivocally stated the early church had "invented" Christ. In the famous Ante-Nicene Library can be seen this passage that reads " "But Krist, if he has indeed been born and exists anywhere is unknown...And you, having accepted a groundless report, invented a Kristo for yourself."
I am sure I could fill several pages with other references that question the historical accuracy of the life of Christ, but the point is, that belief in the concept, the teaching and practise of true Christianity is ultimately good, the fact that it is based on a lie is fundamentally irrelevant.

Answer 3

There was only one Immaculate Conception. It is referring to the Blessed Virgin's conception via her Mother Saint Ann. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated on December 8th.

Answer 4

The Immaculate Conception contradicts the Scriptures. The claim that Mary was preserved from original sin from the first instant of her conception denies the universality of inherited sin. The apostle Paul states clearly: “Sin entered the world through one man, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.” (Romans 5:12) The Scriptures also state that redemption for “all mankind” came only through Christ’s death. (Hebrews 2:9) If the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary were true, Mary would have been redeemed before Christ died, in fact, even years before he came to earth.

Answer 5

No, no, and no. the stainless concept refers to Mary's concept. you're questioning of the Virgin delivery - that's in fact being pregnant with out intercourse. Hercules, Achilles, and Alexander the great, mutually as mentioned to be born of a god by some, have been borne out of the act of intercourse between a god and a mortal. it is no longer the comparable ingredient in any respect.

Answer 6

Jesus is the only immaculate conception.
The Holy, perfect, spotless lamb of God, who bore our sin and paid the price on the cross of Calvary.

Answer 7

Only One

Answer 8

It would have been a common claim during that era - consider the consequences of bearing a child out of wedlock. There were no gynacologists during this time that could refute such a claim so it all came down to who you could influence I suppose. If you were a young girl who was pregnant out of wedlock, wouldn't you try anything out of desperation to save your life and that of your baby? there are also other cultures and legends that have such stories.

Answer 9

In my faith - Catholic Christian - there was only one immaculate conception which resulted in Mary bearing the child Jesus, God's son!

Answer 10

Jesus was God, disease wouldn't have "knocked him out" since his purpose was to die on the cross and save us from our sins.

God is not subject to sin like we are. Sin brought disease and death into the world. Jesus was without sin and therefore not subject to the same things that kill us. His death on the cross wasn't an accident, he "gave" his life. No one took it.
