What did Jesus mean when he used the Greek word "tokos" ?

Where did he use it?

Is it used anywhere else in Scripture to mean "mother" or "bearer"

Is "tokos" ever translated in Scripture to mean "mother or bearer".

What word did Jesus use to refer to his mother: "tokos" or "meter".

LOL. You know most people, when they are in a hole, stop digging. It matters not one whit whether Jesus used the word or not. It matters not how the word is used in Scripture or if it is at all.

The Bible (and your trusty Strong's) is not a dictionary of Greek nor a study of history. The sooner you realize that Sola Scriptura doesn't mean you aren't allowed to use words the Bible doesn't, the sooner you will be rehabilitated.

What we were trying to do, before your ridiculous tangent, is to talk about the notion of Theotokos and what it means. I left several messages for you, trying to clear up your misconceptions. You have not answered them, and instead come here with your ridiculous "scholarship."

It is a verifiable historical fact what the term means and whence it arose. Shall we discuss what it actually means and what your misconceptions about it are? Shall we answer whether you think Jesus is one Person or two?

Or will you next use your amazing scholarship to prove that human skin is the most flexible material known to man, cause the Bible says that Jesus tied his ass to a tree and walked into town?

To my knowledge Jesus never used the word "tokos." Jesus most likely spoke Aramaic and the words which are used in the Gospels are merely Greek translations of the Hebraic words he spoke. Trust me on this one, admit that you didn't have full knowledge of what you were talking about and back out gracefully. You'll gain more respect and a better audience for relevant points you wish to make in the future. (I assume you did follow the link and yet chose to ignore it. Why you did so I have no idea.)
