Holy Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse in thee.

If that's true, Mary could have died for the sins of the world. We needed someone without original sin to die for us sinners.

Better yet, God should have allowed Eve to have a child without the sin of Adam and that would solved the "original sin" problem.

Except of course, that she wasn't and isn't divine. Jesus saved her FIRST, at the very moment of her conception, and restored the ability (lost by Eve for all of us, thanks much) to make a choice for or against obedience, with no influence from Satan.

She had no original sin because of the merits of Jesus her Savior.

wrong again kemosabe....the only sacrifice that would satisfy God is the sacrifice of Himself....Mary was a mere mortal but not sufficient as a sacrifice for redemption of mankind
