5. IMMACULTE CONCEPTION : M. M. NINAN
Adam. Hence Jesus was Man being taken flesh from Mary - of
the Adamic Origin. He has taken the fallen nature of man
through her. Jesus bore on his flesh the original sin - the sinful
nature of man like every other man in Adamic race. Though he
was sinless, he was still a mortal being of Adamic race bearing
the original sin in his body. Otherwise he is not a fit sacrifice.
Thus Isaiah proclaims:
Is.53:5-6 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace
was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like
sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one
man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all
men, because all sinned--
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death,
The declaration of Immaculate conception of Mary to make her
free from all original sin of mankind would make Jesus unfit as a
sacrifice for man. Sure enough if God wanted to make someone
free from original sin he could do it by virtue of his sovereignty. It
is not the sovereignty of God that comes in question but the
validity and necessity of such an act. Is it necessary for
salvation? Quite the contrary it makes the whole incarnation
invalid.
