since Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, that verse does not apply to Him

Exactly. The verse does not apply to Jesus because of some other piece of theology. The same goes for Mary; another piece of theology tells us something about Mary's innocence, and that helps us know how to interpret the "all" in this verse. That's why the verse does not prove that Mary sinned any more than it proves that Jesus sinned.

"The verse does not apply to Jesus because of some other piece of theology."

In the case of Jesus being God manifest in the flesh, that isn't just a tradition, it's in scripture. The sinlessness of Mary is a tradition not mentioned in scripture.

"That's why the verse does not prove that Mary sinned any more than it proves that Jesus sinned."

There's a bit of a difference between Mary and Jesus. I'm sure you wouldn't try to claim that Mary is God manifest in the flesh. . .would you?
