Romans 3:23 - “for ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God”

Romans 3:10 “NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, no, not one”

Obviously these passages are not meant to be taken literaly, otherwise it would mean Christ was a sinner.

The Scriptures predict the Church's glorification of Mary. See Luke 1:48, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."

It is to be taken literally, and only a twisted mind would infer it to include the Lord Jesus Christ, since other scripture passages (such as 2 Corinthians 5:21) clearly refute the premise. Or is that not to be taken literally either?

Nothing in Luke 1:48 would cause me to pray to Mary or regard her as an intercessor for me.
