No where ever is it stated that Mary was sinless, just again, justifying idols as men do.

Who told you this: "...Jesus wasn't conceived in her womb containing the Holy spirit already,...remember He was born as a son of mankind."
Before she conceived, the Bible says this:
From Luke 1: 31. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.
From Luke 1: 35. And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.'
Sounds like Jesus contained the Holy Spirit at conception.

Is God omnipresent? If God is everywhere then the answer to your question seems obvious.
Luk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Only on this thread for this moment. Sometimes some people [most definitely not you] make me tired. The old man of me still tires and the new man of me must allow me to rest.
I get that way at times, walk away for a while, the enemy loves to beat us down, cant reason with evil, someone once told me....
That has nothing to do with what I said. God is everywhere, which is true; but you say not with with Mary, which is self contradictory, thus you throw Mary out of the Bible. My statement is based on Revelation 21:27, which does not cancel out or replace the omnipresence of God, which is a totally different theology.
God resided in Mary's womb and you need to get over your prejudice and admit that truth.
Your avoidance of the questions is obvious. God isn't omnipresent enough to make the mother of His son sinless??? What kind of God is that?, He CHOSE to, He didn't HAVE to.
But it is only a weariness of the flesh. The new man really never get tired so long he consumes regularly the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Says nothing of the sort, if Mary was sinless than Jesus died for nothing, she would have being "perfect" as He was, and revelation
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
would therefore become a lie.... for she too would have being found worthy, as I keep saying, all just justification for teh worship of idols. She can do nothing for anyone, a distraction from our Lord and saviour, no more no less..

As a child of God, I also know when Mary received her salvation, just as the rest of the saved received theirs before the foundations of the world! But Catholics can never claim this truth because they believe in a “holding” place called Purgatory.
Here is the difference between a child of God and a Catholic, a Catholic does not know how to read nor understand Scriptures. Yes, it is true in many Protestant churches, it is taught a person can be saved by reciting the sinner’s prayer, but it is a false teaching. A child of God can only become saved by “Grace Alone” whether in the Old or New Testaments!
As already stated above, obviously, every child of God is “full of grace” since a person can only be saved by grace. So throw away your doctrine of Kecharitomene.
Your church may teach Mary was saved when she conceived, but this is in direct contradiction as Scripture teaches, Jesus, as the Lamb, was slain before the foundation of the world!
You are putting words in my mouth! Catholics have a bad habit of doing this and changing the meaning of Scriptures to suit their agenda.
Not mine but God’s system. Jesus, like any other person, must reside in a womb for nine months to become human, and that is all Mary did. It could have very well been...fill in the blank, and whoever she is would still be blessed and full of grace.
1 John 4:2-3a
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God…

Where did you get the notion that everyone who disagrees with you in these forums is wrong?
Have you not read 1 Corinthians 14:36, “What? Came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?”
It is true the word “holy” as concerning a child of God means to be “set apart.” When God looks at us He sees our sins as dirty rags, no difference from Mary’s sins. However, as God is Holy (1Peter 1:16), He has ordained that we should also be Holy as He is Holy (without sin), and this can only be achieved when our sins are washed away by the blood of Christ.
I don’t know where you got your kakameme idea (Kechatorimene) for God is no respecter of persons nor has He any favoritism.
I have an advice for you which you have never given respect to others: “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

You know, there are some people here that have a problem with such verses, since they make it all about the holy ghost. Studying the book that is about the faith they claim to have in of itself is of none effect. You don't even need it at all in fact, just get "caught up in the spirit" and you'll get the 'truth' that way, no book learning necessary.
And so many have a problem with the Holy Spirit who was sent to teach them the truth, is is given to all who belong to Christ, he is teh same spirit in all. just that some prefer to show God how smart they are while others prefer to let God show them how wise He is. Millions may study teh bible, but far less know God.You know, there are some people here that have a problem with such verses, since they make it all about the holy ghost.

That's funny.
You Protestants are always saying that the Angel called Mary "Highly favored" - and now you're saying that God doesn't favor anybody??
Gen. 6:8 also says that God FAVORED Noah.
Now, I have some advice for YOU:
Do a little study on the word "Kecharitomene" and discover what it means.
Ahhhh, what the heck - I'll explain it for you . . .
The Greek word is Kecharitomene that Luke used in his Gospel (v.1:28), indicates a completed action with permanent result. It translates, “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace.”
The Angel didn’t say, “Hail Mary, full of grace.” He said, "Hail, "Kecharitomene."
She is the ONLY person in ALL of Scripture who is described this way.
And Jesus was the only one without sin... that big impressive word does not make her sinless.... not that you care about truth at all.
