All have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God...All means....well, all.

If all sinned,how do you exclude Christ from sin and God and the Holy Spirit from sin according to what you believe?

Obviously Jesus had to be without sin, or he couldn’t have been the perfect sacrifice we needed. But he is the only one born of a woman who can be, or ever will be, without sin.

The rest of us, including Mary, our righteousness is as filthy rags.
side note: I’ve heard from scholars that the the ‘filthy rags’ refer to the rags women use, as in menstrual garments. that’s the measure of our best righteousness. We’re a tampon.
