**No one’s saying Mary created the infinite God.**

But you just did-—> **We’re saying she’s the mother of God.**

I said: If you can prove that Mary created MORE of the already infinite God.....

What was conceived and grew in Mary’s womb was mortal, in that it hungered, thirsted, and died. There was not a part of God that was conceived (had a beginning) and grew in Mary’s womb. God is a Spirit (Christ’s own words). Peter testified that this “Jesus hath God raised up”. The body of Jesus Christ came with the standard equipment, which included a mind (looked for figs to eat, said “I thirst”), was given a soul that could commune with God (thou wilt not leave my soul in hell), but the God that dwells in that body is the one and only infinite all powerful God.

While on earth the man Christ Jesus made every effort to teach man what his source for all things was: The Father. He taught that we could be like him; having the Spirit of the Almighty God dwelling in us as well.

You folks deny that the Father is in Jesus Christ doing the works, wanting to make a ‘second person’, ‘co-equal’ and all that jazz. Yet, the Christ himself, displaying his limitations as a man, said: no man knoweth, but the Father only.

Mary didn’t make the Christ sinless; God Did.
Mary didn’t give that body a soul; God did.
Mary didn’t put the Spirit of the living God in that body; God did.
Mary didn’t give him any miraculous powers whatsoever; God did.
Mary didn’t raise him from the dead; God did.
Mary didn’t glorify his body; God did.
Mary didn’t cause him to ascend up to heaven; Guess who did?

**we’re saying who Jesus is.**

You don’t know who he is, or you would agree with his and his Spirit-inspired apostles own words about who he is.

**It isn’t my fault if you’re too dense to get this.**

Or maybe I escaped the vain traditions of your church’s teachings. Their understanding of the Godhead is carnal; limiting the infinite Spirit of God, dividing him into ‘persons’, but only one ‘person’ knows “the day or the hour”. What a mess.

Throughout the book of John we see that Jesus Christ made it quite clear that the Father was in him. In writing to the saints in Ephesus (they had been sanctified with the Spirit; hence they became ‘saints’), Paul told them that they had “One God and Father of all, who is is above all, through all, and IN you all.” 4:6.

That’s how to become Christ-like: being filled with Spirit of the Father (the Holy Ghost, which proceedeth from the Father).

I am thankful for the birth of the Christ-child, what ever the day might have been. Notice that He didn’t inspire the writers of the Word to record that date. His priorities are higher than ours. Perhaps he knew how it would be commercialized, and mingled with pagan ceremonies that are not scriptural.

**Your trouble is that you don’t believe in the incarnation.**

I believe God was manifest IN the flesh (not manifest as mortal flesh), justified in the Spirit (not justified in the flesh), seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Jesus Christ said “all power is GIVEN me”. Paul said that it “pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell”; and that he is “the fulness of the godhead bodily”, and “the image of the invisible God”. God, who is invisible, has given us a focal point, that meets us on our mortal level, speaks our language, hears our cry, and brings salvation to the eternal soul.
