***Do you understand there is a difference between a human being who is sinless and a divine being?***

Theoretically yes.

But the Bible teraches that there is no human being who is sinless except the God-man Jesus Christ.

I believe Biblical authors thought this was so important to make clear that they went out of their way to make sure people understood Jesus was sinless.

They do not attempt to do so for Mary.

Theoretically yes?

Divinity and humanity are two entirely different type of being.

But the Bible teraches that there is no human being who is sinless except the God-man Jesus Christ.

Don't you believe that God can make you perfect, i.e. sinless?

That we assert that Mary was made sinless may go against your interpretation of the Bible, but since we see it as the ultimate state of all the "saved," it should not bring about accusations that we have made her a divinity.
