Do you know if He has a sense of humor? It might help with the trouble you’re in. :-)
Know?
Not really; but I strongly suspect He does; based on what I've read.
And I care about Rome, why?
Scripture teaches that Jesus is God incarnate and Mary is his mother. That’s it! That’s all I am saying. That is what the title implies. Nothing more.
Mary was the mother of the creature side of Jesus. She could not be the mother of the GOD side for HE pre-existed her and the entire Universe. Do you think the body Jesus now has in HEAVEN has blood distributing The Life throughout it?
Women are not mothers of natures or sides. They are mothers of PERSONS.
Exactly. Normally, we use the word “sleep”.
And you never found out what worship is — must not have been paying attention . ,. ,
Yes, M, that is the inescapable conclusion. But I think I have seen you express that the creature side of Jesus need not be of the biology only of Mary's body cells and DNA, in that female cells alone can never produce a male zygote having the Y chromosome. Is that not so?
God has not given us the info to know if a male gamete entered into the conception of the zygote Jesus. Since God fashioned Adam ‘from the dust of the ground’ the zygote Jesus may have been fashion without male or female gamete. But I have it on good authority that the Morulla Jesus implanted in the uterine wall of Mary.
And yet; in all of the Scriptures; the 'title' Mother of GOD is NEVER used.
This is all that I am saying.
So true; and 'GOD' is a THREE person entity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Mary gave birth to 'Son': Jesus.
She did NOT give birth to 'GOD': 3 persons.
Yes.
That same poster so bent out of shape about flowers also claimed we burned incense to Mary — I know I never heard of such a thing. I remember incense from Benediction and funeral Masses. Any idea where he got that — is that another Hislop(? Hosslip? Hosslop?) invention?
Hmmm.
The life of the creature is in the blood. The blood is not the life, the life is in the blood. The body Jesus has since His ascension does not use blood to distribute The LIFE throughout the structure. Yet your religion, catholiciism, claims the priest brings JESUS down from HEAVEN to continue the sacrifice of the cross on the Catholic altar. The JESUS in HEAVEN does not have blood pumping through HIS body. So perhaps you would ex-plain the catholiciism magic in more detail???
She did NOT give birth to ‘GOD’
Is this an article of faith among your fellow believers? Can someone in your group hold that Mary is the mother of God and still be a member in good standing? I ask this because in reviewing the doctrines of various denominations, I do not find any declarations on Mary, pro or con, other than that she gave birth to Jesus. But I did find this:
Before people scream “heresy” or “blasphemy” I would ask you to consider the plain and simple truth that Mary was the mother of God, even if she did not fully understand that to be the case. As a Protestant I do not believe that Mary should hold some elevated status. She was a simple and frail human being just like the rest of us. I think that there are some within the Christian family that have gone too far in seeking to praise Mary for her role in the Christmas story. However, I do believe that those of us on the other side of the family do not go far enough in recognizing the remarkable fact that Mary was the one chosen for this sacred task.
I have often asked the question to myself, “why did God choose Mary?” I will admit that we will never fully know why God chose Mary. That isn’t for us to know. But, we can get a sense of what God was thinking based on the way Mary interacted with the angel Gabriel. The Bible provides for us a clear and concise depiction of Mary and her response to what God was placing upon her young shoulders. There are two characteristics I believe highlight God’s choice of Mary. These two attributes are seen in Mary’s response to the message brought by the Angel of God.
