"Like perhaps an unsoiled vessel, like perhaps a sinless virgin.???? After all, He created 1 other....remember Eve???"

Everything in this universe was willed into existence by the mind of God. That includes Mary. Mary's perfection was best addressed by the venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen:

"When Whistler painted the picture of his mother, did he not have the image of her in his mind before he ever gathered his colors on his palette? If you could have preexisted your mother (not artistically, but really), would you not have made her the most perfect woman that ever lived—one so beautiful she would have been the sweet envy of all women, and one so gentle and so merciful that all other mothers would have sought to imitate her virtues? Why, then, should we think that God would do otherwise? When Whistler was complimented on the portrait of his mother, he said, "You know how it is; one tries to make one's Mummy just as nice as he can." When God became Man, He too, I believe, would make His Mother as nice as He could—and that would make her a perfect Mother."

Peace be with you
