So Christ wasn't the only sinless person ever born, Huh?

That means that she and Christ were both qualified to save people from their sins. Cough, cough.

Amen. Would that Romanists would clear their throats similarly.

Oh, really? Is that why Christ is both fully God and fully Man? Why is this crucial to the atonement that he is both of these things?

The passover lamb without blemish requires that Christ be both man AND God in order to serve as the substitutionary sacrifice. Mary is not God so she cannot qualify.
