[BibChr]

Mary was the mother of the human nature of a person, the only person ever, who was God and man. She was not "mother" of his Divine nature.

Just because I don't choose to do the 500-word essay dances doesn't mean deep study isn't behind this. I just refuse to get drawn off target. God, as God, has (and can have) no human mother, though He who is both God and man did. She was the mother of His human nature.

It really is as simple as that.

Dan

May I, in all humility, suggest that you read the history of the Second Council of Ephesus. The Council settled that Our Lady was to be called Theotokos (literally God bearer, translated into Latin as Mater Dei, thence to Mother of God), the opposition was lead by Nestorius who maintained that she was merely Christotokos (Christ bearer/ Mother of Christ). Nestorius was declared a heretic, and all who support his view were anathematised.
