Immaculate Conception (view source)

Immaculate Conception is often erroneously linked to the Conception of Jesus rather than Mary. Jesus would have had no need for an Immaculate Conception, given his deity. Mary, however, being human, was given the grace of perfection to serve as the vessel of the Lord.

Protestant positions on this topic differ immensely. They believe Mary to be a normal human being, a sinner, who was used by God to bring Christ into the world. This is a reasonable point of view given the lack biblical support of Mary being "exempt from all stain of original sin."
