So then "ALL have sinned" that you like to quote must not really mean "all" without exception. Thank you for finally answering. I imagine you will cease citing this against Mary now that you recognize that the statement does indeed allow for exceptions

What part of 'born in sin' can't you comprehend? And no the statement does not allow exceptions. If you don't believe this as well why does YOUR church practice INFANT BAPTISM?

As to Mary, please provide one New Testament verse that specifcally says she was born sinless.......

The part where you think "born in sin" means an infant "has sinned."

Personal sin and original sin are two different things. The Bible verse you are wearing out says "all have sinned."

But you agreed that this infant in question did not, and could not have sinned. So the Bible verse must allow for exceptions.

If you don't believe this as well why does YOUR church practice INFANT BAPTISM?

Because of original sin. Not becasue we believe a two-day old child is guilty of pooping his pants.
