Mary was conceived in St. Ann's womb WITHOUT ORIGINAL SIN. That is the sinlessness being referred to. {talk page header}}
Lutheran doctrine
[edit]The article says, "Lutheran writer Kristofer Carlson in explicating the Book of Concord, writes that "When Lutherans confess Mary as pure & holy, it is a reference to the chastity and sinlessness of Mary."[5]"
Is "sinlessness" really a "Lutheran" belief, or just one held by a tiny minority of Lutherans? It doesn't sound like Martin Luther's theology at all, since he emphasized that even saints sin.

@Anupam: Why this page is not in category Catholicism? Why Catholicism is not mentioned in the first paragraph? Where is something about Mary in Islam? Is not Mary much more popular topic in Islam than in Protestantism? I guess yes (especially that Mary in Islam gets almost three times more pageviews on ARwiki than Mary in Christianity on DEwiki even though DEwiki is more popular). Cheers.

- User:Dawid2009, this doctrine emphasizes that Mary did not sin in her lifetime (or chose not to sin), while the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, held by Catholics, teaches that Mary was born without original sin; there is an entire section dedicated to the Catholic dogma in this article. Islam does not teach either of these doctrines, which is why there is no section on it here; the Qur'an, however, does make reference to the Sinlessness of Jesus, which is an article that I may start in the future. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 15:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
