Mary is the genetic, gestational, parturient, lactational, legal, social, psychological and sociological mother of Jesus Christ our Lord. Previous to this very thread, I had not even imagined any Christian denying that.

This is the direct result of the creeping neo-Nestoranism that has, I'm convinced, plagued all of Christendom since the "Reformation".

Many say on their lips "Yes I believe in the Incarnation" yet clearly have no idea to what they are professing faith. Let me be as clear as I can, so that those who truly reject historical Christianity can know where they stand: the dogma of the Incarnation states (in part) that God the Son BECAME MAN, not some image of man, not some man-flesh created ex nihlio, but became Man in every way which means, by our current scientific understanding now He had not only red blood cells and bones and flesh, but yes 46 individual chromosomes like any other man on earth. The Incarnation also means that, besides His miraculous conception, He developed normally in Mary's womb as if He were indeed the product of Mary and Jospeh's Union. So yes, He shared some genes with Mary, received some of His genes from Her, just as any other normal human child does. This is what the Incarnation claims, that He was JUST like us in EVERY way, except sin!

If you (the reader of this post) recoil in horror at this claim you recoil against the historical (dare I say Traditional) understanding of the Incarnation. Congratulations you are a neo-Nestorian. There truly is nothing new under the sun.

Magic Thinking is always fundamental to catholiciism: "So yes, He shared some genes with Mary, received some of His genes from Her, just as any other normal human child does."

So would you like to tells us where the other sex call came from then, if you command that God must use a sex cell from Mary for at least half of The Chromosomes for Jesus? ... Oh come on, you magic thinking can Shirley scruffle up something for us! Give us the entertainment of your catholic magic thinking ...

*Mother of Jesus* is about identifying MARY not Jesus.

It’s not about the incarnation of Jesus. It’s about identifying which of the many Mary’s in Scripture was being referred to.

No. Where did Adam's DNA, his body with nostrils come from? It was immobile, non-functional, until Jehovah Elohim breathed into it and it became a soul with absolutely living eternal life imparted to it to give it motion and ability to communicate abstractly with Jehovah.

You need to take a break and chew on this for a while. Your thesis has no logical or Biblical foundation, whatever depraved fountain of human imaginations it came from.
