But .. if I may comment just for clarification .. Mary had to be HUMAN because if she was divine like God, then Jesus could not have been OUR human representative. God (the divine) was His father, but Mary (the human) was His mother.

God sent Jesus to the earth to represent MAN. Man had sinned (Adam and Eve disobeyed God). Jesus was to be the sacrifice for MAN's sin .. unless Jesus was a true representative of MAN, He would not be able to sacrifice FOR US.
