As to whether or not an infant is a sinner, the usual response seems to be Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned...”

Except MARY!!!

is the other response.

Luke 2:22-24

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Leviticus 12:7-8

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

Sinless Mary??

Not according to Rome's Book; 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

That's the way it is WRITTEN.

THIS is the way it is TAUGHT: 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us; the only exception being Mary, Mother of GOD, of course.

Rome has made IT's 'Mary' into a HYPOCRIT, by painting her as SINLESS, yet writing of her going into the temple to make a SIN offering.

Mary is yet another of the many holy mysteries of God, that’s for sure, and to me a special case. There is no one like Mary, anywhere, ever.

Personally, I still don’t have much experience nor education regarding Mary, Mother of My Lord, so I tend to defer to those who do and then see what they say. I really don’t know. I’m still learning and still have more questions than understanding.

Perhaps one day we’ll know why Mary is blessed amongst women and why She was chosen.

In my pondering, I wonder about the level and nature of how Jesus and His Mother communicated thoughout the stages of His human life from infant to the Cross.

And then I wonder about how/what Mother Mary experienced the moment of His human body’s death on the Cross, when He took back all of Himself that He set aside to walk as a man.

To me, Mother Mary is at minimum yet another testimony to the Power and Glory of God, because all that Mary is comes from Him.

And, from what I’ve seen so far, all that She has said and done in the past or says and does now all points to Jesus and His Father.

From what I’ve read about Her, Mary truly is on a mission from God and there is no one or nothing else like Mary.

As an aside, I also wonder how the Trinitarian God sees us through Their Eyes in general, and me in particular, and my best guess is that I’m not going to enjoy Him showing me me as He sees me through His eyes.

In that light, I cringe and pull back a bit from the Protestants when they go after Mary and also go after those who acknowledge Her as Mother of God.

I better understand the justifications people use when they do that now a bit better than I used to, but I still cringe and worry about those who do it.

Maybe it’s the certainty people seem to feel in the moment and what that seems to inspire, both in them and others, or maybe it’s something else, I’m not sure, but something tells me that sort of thing is not a good idea.
