She is not the co-redeemer because she is sinless. She is sinless because she is the co-redeemer. But by our theology, we are all co-redeemers to the extent that we also serve God. As for Catholic and Mary, I have always wondered hoe evangelicals could read the first two chapters of Luke and then try to reduce Mary’s virginity to simply a physical thing, to the lack of a human father. To us it is obvious that she had a deep spiritual relationship with Our heavenly Father and His divine Son. In the person of this simple maid we have the culmination of the history of Israel and this is expressed in the great hymn the Magnificat, of which I have no doubt was Luke’s rendering of a Christian hymn, the first Marian hymn.

Huh? Now you’re saying that we’re all Gods? And we’re all sinless? Here I thought the gnostics had all but disappeared, looks like they’re still at. Read your bible, we’re all sinful creatures in NEED of redemption, Mary included. There is only ONE redeemer, Jesus. What’s so hard about that? If you say that you’re without sin then you are NOT SAVED and I would urge you to repent and seek forgiveness from Jesus as he is the only one that died on the cross for your (and Mary’s) sin.
