**The virgin conception and birth does not require a sinless Mary.**

"Mary, full of grace"

No room for anything else, FULL of grace!

You are wrong here. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus."

She was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the most holy Trinity. An abode for Christ, the Second Person of the most holy Trinity.

Yes, she was sinless.

***Mary, full of grace***

So was Stephen. He was also full of power which didn't make him omnipotent.

*** "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus."***

To be blessed does not imply sinlessness. In Jesus case, He clearly as as noted in other passages. Mary is not the only person who is blessed (Psalm 1, the beattitudes).

***She was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the most holy Trinity. An abode for Christ, the Second Person of the most holy Trinity.***

I fully agree.

***Yes, she was sinless.***

Isaiah 53:6 All we [except Mary] like sheep have gone astray; we [except Mary] have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
