Mary could not have Original Sin because it would be unfitting for God Himself to take up residence in a vessel where sin existed. But Christ has graciously taken up residence in you and me and all Trinitarian Christians, so your defense of this idolatry is meaningless. (Dr. Eckleburg)

Amen. Moreover, the child inherits his corrupt nature from the father, not the mother.(Forthedeclaration)

It is ridiculous to call Catholics idolators because of what we believe about the Blessed Mother. Christ has taken up residence in us metaphorically, not physically as He did with Mary.

Where did you get that people inherit corrupt natures from their father only?

First, Christ left Mary when He was born.

He never leaves a believer today.

,

Second, Christ has an active relationship with the believer He indwells.(Jn.15)

As a fetus inside of Mary, Christ did not have any active relationship.

Third, you make Mary, a sinning human being, as co-equal with Christ, who is God, and have prayers to her.

That is idolatry.

Mary is not God, as Christ is and she was born needing a saviour and calls Christ her saviour.(Lk.1:47)

Christ was born sinless, not needing a saviour, and that is why he had to born of a woman (truly human), but not of the seed of a man (not having Adam's sin passed to him)

Nor is Mary a mediator between God and man, since only Christ does that (1Tim.2:5)

Where did you get that people inherit corrupt natures from their father only?

Because the scriptures tells us that all die in Adam.

Christ is called the second Adam, since in Him there is only life (Rom.5:14-21)

The woman is only the carrier of orignal sin (being corrupted herself) but not the transmitter of it.
