Could a sinful human woman conceive a holy child? Did Jesus inherit sinful flesh?

Bumb.....could someone answer me please...because I have wondered about this for a long time....

I always found it interesting that the bible talks of Joesph's lineage back to David and the birth line of Jesus...not Mary's when Joesph was not even related to Jesus by blood at all...or am I confused on that?


I think many give not enough credit and respect to the Mary the mother of Jesus. What a incredible woman she was!

1 Cor 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

No Mary, No Jesus.

Elizabeth and Mary both understood the importance of what God was doing in their lives.

Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? NIV

Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
