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

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.

Then stop praying to her and believing she's sinless and bestowing upon her the blasphemous title of co-redeemer and handing over to her the office of mediator between God and men.

If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, it's still a fallen creature like the rest of us.

What was Christ a “substitutionary sacrifice” for?
