I KNEW you wouldn't do it.

Regarding, "...I do not ascribe..."
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

((Honestly, I don't care what you ascribe to or don't ascribe to. I pity your students.))

1 Pet 1:19 Jesus is called “a lamb without blemish or defect.”
1 Pet 2:22 Peter uses Isaiah’s words to rightly describe Jesus: “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
John 3:5 about Jesus, that “in him is no sin.”
Cor 5:21 Paul writes (under inspiration) that “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us.”
Heb 4:15 the writer says that in Jesus “we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.”

One of the solid, inviolable theological foundations for God's gracious forgiveness relies on the sinlessness of his Son, Jesus Christ. Our redemption rests upon Christ's sinless life and substitutionary death.

When Catholics claim that Mary was also sinless, they open the possibility that Jesus was not the only one suited to pay the price that we could not pay.

This makes the teaching that Mary was sinless antithetical to orthodoxy. To teach it is error.

Anyone who teaches this is working in opposition to God’s plan of salvation.

Regarding traditions, I don’t care if you have a tradition of playing BINGO on Thursday or Friday, I don't care if you kneel on hardwood or a well-padded kneeler - it makes no difference. But regarding who can serve as the sinless Lamb of God and and pay that no other human can, THAT is a matter of importance.

Snarky?
yes.

You already didn't answer, so I don't care if you don't answer again. But you WILL answer some day.

James 3:1
