And still the Holy Spirit never once used the term “mother of God”. Nor did He use the term “mother of God with us”.

It seems clear to me from this answer to my question that you have not confessed that Miriam is the woman prophesied in Isaiah who would call her son Immanuel. Are the Jews correct then to look for another ?

Miriam/Mary is the mother of Immanuel which means, courtesy of Matthew, that Mary is the mother of "God with us."

Adding to the words of God is not a good thing.

    Do you mean
  1. posting in general,
  2. using phrases like like pre-tribulation rapture, bible believer, new testament saint, baptism of the Holy Spirit, born again believer, personal savior, saved by faith alone, sola scriptura, perseverance of the saints,
  3. changing the English in the Authorized Version,
  4. anything of which you are not personally persuaded ?

And still rather than use the words the Holy Spirit used Catholics would use words of their own construct. In their unceasing attempts to give credit to man rather than to God where it belongs they subtly change the words just and just as Eve was deceived so too Catholics.

You never did answer the question of why this point of order is so important to you.

But there seems to be a compulsion to intimidate other FReepers to agree with your assessment of the status of Mary the mother of Jesus.

Why does this matter in regards to one’s salvation from sin and the second death?
