So you believe that Jesus was not the only sinless human? Hmmm.

Scripture says that Christ was tempted like any man but didn’t yield to temptation but you say He wasn’t the only one? You say that Mary also “yielded not to temptation”? You say that Christ was not the only one who was sinless? I call that blasphemy.

Adam and Eve were created without sin.

It is our free will that allows us to sin.

It is God’s grace that aids us in resisting temptation.

Mary was “full of grace” meaning she had all the graces she needed to lead a sinless life at the behest of God who chose her to bear His only Son.

She did not merit this on her own.

She had need of Jesus as Savior as we all do.

Mary was born without sin. She was the daughter of Joachim and Anna. Read the “Protoevangelium of James”. If you call that “Blasphemy” then you call the Early Church the same.
