6 The Immaculate Conception
The immaculate conception is not a reference to Jesus being born without sin, but to his mother Mary. Most Christians believe that all people are conceived with original sin (the sin inherited from Adam and Eve) but that Jesus was not. Additionally, the Catholic Church teaches that Mary was also conceived without sin and this is where the term “Immaculate Conception” has come from. [Luke 1:28]
純潔之胎
純潔之胎指的并不是耶穌出生的純潔無罪,而是關于他的母親瑪利亞。大多數基督徒都相信原罪說(人類繼承了亞當和夏娃的罪過),但耶穌并非如此。此外,天主教傳授的教義是瑪利亞也是純潔無罪的,這才是“純潔之胎”一說的由來。[路加福音 1:28]
