I'll bet that neither of you did very well in the religion class, and would have fallen flat in a real theology course...immaculate conception...did not the angel address her as "full of grace"? sounds sinless to me...blessed art thou among women...kind of places her above other women wouldn't you say???

From Youngs LITERAL Greek translation

Luk 1:28 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, `Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'

charitoō

This is NOT A NOUN describing someone..it is a VERB..an action

1) to make graceful
a) charming, lovely, agreeable
2) to peruse with grace, compass with favour
3) to honour with blessings

Grace is not a liquid like gas that we fill a tank with.. it is Gods unearned favor..

God had favored her with the blessing of being the mother of my Savior.. she was blessed..

There is not one thing anywhere to suggest she was sinless...

why would God have used a stained vessel to bear His son??
