And if Mary made the choice for the human race, then the human race didn't have freedom of choice, did it????

Did we have freedom of choice when Adam and Eve sought to become like God? Nevertheless, Original Sin still entered the world. The act of disobedience brought forth death - Mary's act of obedience brought the Lamb who conquered death into the world. God doesn't operate a Heavenly Democracy - He appointed Mary to represent us, and she did her job perfectly.

No -- but you did exercise that freedom of choice when you rebelled against the word of God like she did and sinned.

Sorry but your theology is flawed. Scripture does not say that sin entered the world through Eve but through Adam, and it was the representation of the Second Adam, the Son of Man, that was effectual for us, but only for us who believe it -- not for those who believe He needed a Marian co-redeemer or co-representative.

It's either Jesus as your representative redeemer or Mary -- exercise your freedom -- make your choice .
