Is there any "Original Sin" in your life ?

@SW-User In traditional Christian dogma there was only one person born without original sin -- Mary.

@ChipmunkErnie I appreciate the Catholic Church, but they're wrong on that score. We can venerate the Virgin Mary without making a biblically unsupportable claim that she was born without original sin. It's not true and it's not necessary for the birth of the divine Lord and Savior.

@SW-User Just remember -- the Bible in its original doesn't say Mary was a virgin, only an unmarried woman.

@ChipmunkErnie The prophecy in the OT states 'born of a virgin' - and that's the clear understanding of what is meant. As CS Lewis points out - you have two choices - to either believe there was a virgin birth, or not - but you can't make up an interpretation that says the Bible doesn't state it was a virgin birth.

That said, I disagree with Catholic thinking that says Mary remains a virgin for life. There's no real biblical basis for that.

@SW-User Not according to Biblical scholars that I've read and heard-- it's a mis-translation.

@ChipmunkErnie You need new biblical scholars. There are always those willing to mis-translate or lie. That nonsense view originated in the 19th century, and debunked by scholarship long since.
