Scripture says ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:21-25 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

If you take issue with that, talk to the Holy Spirit about it. Tell HIM He screwed up in inspiring Scripture.

Well yeah...
If it's the same Holy Spirit who was sleeping at the wheel for over a 1000 years,
letting the Catholic Church lead people astray
and let pagan Rome run the show for so long...
and allow the for the splintering into hundreds of different denominations
letting them each say "they" each all have the "truth" now, no one else...
if its that Holy Spirit you're talkin' about...

yeah... I want that guy fired.
Now.

Sounds like a losing proposition to me, MM. 😀😀😁

...the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

I take it that Mary was a believer?

Luke 1:27
And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.

It appears so.

The problem comes when Mary gives an offering for SIN after Jesus' birth.

The ONLY conclusions are two:

Either the RCC is WRONG claiming she was always sinless; or Mary is recorded as being a hypocrit.

Which is more likely??
