Bless your heart, Ben. I thought this discussion could remain above such a juvenile level because you already know the answer to your question. Seeing as this is a common thing, to ask questions seemingly to refute the obvious, let me be more precise:

Romans 3:21 and following:

21But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Now. I quoted Romans 3:23 to you and explained that it was a universal for mankind. Christ is God and Man, correct? So instead of silly little semantic games that you seem to enjoy, please read it in context. Note that Christ redeems...not Mary. Note that God sent Christ as the propitiation.. in Christ’s blood. Note v. 26 also; this applies to Mary. She herself referred to her Savior.

Now, then. Semantic games aside. Where is it shown, anywhere in the Scriptures, that Mary did NOT sin??? We have ample evidence that we are all sinners due to Adam’s fall. Was not Mary born of woman? She too was subject to Original Sin. Just as you and I.

Faith in Christ saved her. Were she to be sinless, she wouldn’t need a savior; yet she claims Jesus as hers.

How can you argue with Scripture?

Now the short answer to your question. No, Jesus was not a sinner.
