The bible tells us that the sacrifice for the sins of man needed to be one that was without sin. If that was Mary, why the need for Christ?

For those who CAN"T understand or chose to NOT read everything I wrote, I am asking Catholics to back up their doctrinal claims!

Why would someone who is sinless need a Savior?
Luke 1:47
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
Clearly she was a sinner at this point in the eyes of herself.
Mary is blessed however and all churches should remember this, but think little more of it because of what Jesus said about this.
Luke 1
41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
Luke 11
27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." 28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Mary wasn't without sin Guy. How about some real questions. Some good ones. Some that might make a guy think for more than 1 second.

This is New Testament you're talking about, without Jesus it doesn't work they had to make it fit some how. Plus Mary is a woman and not part of the holy trinity so sacrificing her doesn't help anything. Mary was born without the adam and eve original sin so she could give birth to jesus he sinned but he created baptism to fix that. Depending on what you follow there are different answers to this.

Mary was not without Sin, however because she was one to turn away from Sin she was qualified to Carry the Messiah.
Also Man passes Sin down but Woman does not so Jesus had to be born of a Virgin in order to be born Sinless.

Mary had a baby that wasn't her husbands. Just like Mother Eve bit the apple first, and Magadelen was a baad woman. Delilah nearly did Sampson in, Bathsheba did the naughty with David, and they stoned Jezebel to death, turned Lot's wife to salt, too.
Shoot, women were blamed and sacrificed all the time. Men got all the glory, so it wouldn't have had the BIG impact then if they'd have crucified her. Had to do a man that time!

She wasn't without sin. Therefore she wasn't the Chosen One.
People think that she's still a virgin but if you read the Bible you'll know that she and Joseph had other kids.
If you read the Bible, you'll also know that women are second class in Christianity. We are all equal but serve different roles.

Mary wasn't without sin. Not only that, Mary wasn't God. Jesus was 100% human AND 100% God at the same time. That's why he could be without sin and could be the final sacrfice for our sins.

Mary was born in sin, as we all are, but chosen, nevertheless.
Even if she did not practice sin, she was still in need of Christ perfect sacrifice,
same as all of mankind. Jesus was chosen- and willing- to give his life for us

Because Mary was not sinless.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
This includes Mary.
