No. I deny that keeping it imperfectly necessarily implies breaking it or sinning. That’s where I find my tertium quid.

If I were to characterize one strain among the non-Catholics I would say they tend to put “either/or” where it does not clearly belong.

I guess that is because we think if it was either /or.. God would have told us in His infallible inspired word

C'mon Mad Dawg...There's no such thing as keeping the Law imperfectly...You is or you ain't...

So Mary was imperfectly perfect...

So when we keep the Law imperfectly, we haven't sinned? That means that I don't have to ask forgiveness then, for not keeping the Law.

Which parts don't I have to keep perfectly?

What was the point of Jesus coming to earth to FULFILL the Law then? Would that not imply that He didn't necessarily have kept it perfectly and still be sinless.

Your whole contention makes no sense.

James 2:10-11 10For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
