Oh, please. Now it’s my translation.

Cold, hard fact: Mary was human. Were she to have been without sin, SHE could have been sacrificed for us and Christ would not have had to die for us. Why would God sacrifice himself for us when “Perfect” Mary was already here and without sin?

Jesus was born here as THE ONLY PERFECT SINLESS PERSON. He alone was acceptable; Mary was an imperfect sinner. Just like you and I. If not, we would have no need of Christ. That’s patently absurd; just as is your belief that Mary was without sin.

One last time: praying to anyone other than God is idolatry. Show me in scripture where GOD SAYS Mary is without sin.

Mary is human, but even a sinless human cannot atone for the sins of men; for the sacrifice of Christ to be efficacious, He had to be God as well as man.

The rest I have dealt with and repeatedly so.
