It is clear that Mary was not sinless. It is clear she did not have the indwelling Holy Spirit

Really? Where are these "clear" scriptures? You mean Mary wasn't speaking under inspiration in Luke 1:48-55?

It is clear that she did not understand the role of her son

Not understanding something is a sin?

She also was among the kinsmen who thought Jesus was insane (Mark 3:20-35)

Being with a group of people who are confused is a sin?

and she didn't honor Jesus as He should have been honored (Mark 6:3-4)

Sorry, but actually know how to find Mark 6:3-4 in my Bible (which I have right here in my desk), and it says nothing like that.

I think you've established your mala fides as a false teacher with this post, thanks.

Lets start a bit earlier

Luk 1:46 ¶ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luk 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luk 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Mary needed a Savior , she acknowledged that need

It is clear that she did not understand the role of her son
Not understanding something is a sin?

She removed Him from the temple , Later she thought he was insane and she came to save him from those that would take him. Jesus rebuked her publicly.

Mar 3:31 ¶ There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mar 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
Mar 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mar 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Here is, 1. The disrespect which Christ’s kindred, according to the flesh, showed to him, when he was preaching (and they knew very well that he was then in his element); they not only stood without, having no desire to come in, and hear him, but they sent in a message to call him out to them (v. 31. 32), as if he must leave his work, to hearken to their impertinences; it is probable that they had no business with him, only sent for him on purpose to oblige him to break off, lest he should kill himself. He knew how far his strength would go, and preferred the salvation of souls before his own life, and soon after made it to appear with a witness; it was therefore an idle thing for them, under pretence of his sparing himself, to interrupt him; and it was worse, if really they had business with him, when they knew he preferred his business, as a Saviour, so much before any other business. Matthew Henry

Mary did not understand the role of Christ .

Mar 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
His family thought Him insane

Luk 11:27 ¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, >and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
