If Mary was without sin, why the need for Jesus Christ?

Why didn't Mary just die for us?

Update:

@ Ambassad - It's not "my theology". It's called a question. Did you notice the word "if"?

Update 2:

@ Seeker - It's funny that I can't find anything in the Bible that is even remotely close to what you are suggesting.

Update 3:

@ The Poor Widow - I never said she was without sin. I asked a question. Hence the word "if". I'm discovering that many Catholics (not sure if it is their actual theology) prescribe to this man made doctrine

    strange if Mary was without sin, then why would she say. "my soul glorifies in God my saviour. Why would she need a saviour to save her from her sins. As we also when we accept Christ as Lord and saviour give glory and honour to the Lord God of Israel for the gift of His Son. and since Christ said "Before Abraham I am, how could she be his mother? as she wasnt even born yet. Christ chose the lowly womb to make His entry into the world, beside Mary was a prophesy fullfilled as she was of the line of David, the King of Israel.

    well, that's a very good question, but the Bible says that Mary was a sinner, just like the rest of us. some churches have a false teaching that Mary was without sin!!

    Where in the Bible does it say that Mary was without sin?

    I'm sure Mary was a fine woman, and all that, but why do you think that she was "without sin"?

    From her own mouth

    Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices (in God my Savior)

    Mary was sinless in order to allow God to come into the world as a man so he could fulfill the promise which ha made to Israel. It wasn't Mary's job to die for us, not God's plan.

    Well....i'm a muslim...according to our religion...Marry was without sin, yes. and she gave birth to jesus (peace be upon him) but she gave birth without a husband. Allah (our creator) made Jesus without a father....just like he created adam and eve....Allah is almighty so allah can do anything he wants....he send jesus (peace be upon him) as a messenger to guide us and to tell us about Allah :)
