Protestant positions on this topic differ immensely. They believe Mary to be a normal human being, a sinner, who was used by God to bring Christ into the world. This is a reasonable point of view given the lack biblical support of Mary being "exempt from all stain of original sin."
Pertinent Scripture texts demolish the Roman principle:
<blockquote>
"For ther is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all..." I Tim. 2:5-6
"For '''all''' have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:23 (emphasis added)
"And ye know that '''he''' was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin." I John 3:5 (emphasis added)
"If we say that we have no sin, we decive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. I John 1:8
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other [[Jesus Christ|name]] under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12
</blockquote>
These passeges allow the possibility that not even Mary could have been without blemish, making a well-grounded opposition to the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
