No. What did I ever write that said anything remotely like that? Mary is the Mother of God. Six words. Where is any mention of the First Person to be found there? If one were to further specify the Person, it would be the Second Person and only the Second Person in his incarnate hypostatic union. If you insist that by being mother of the Second Person in his incarnate hypostatic union one is also asserting she is the mother of the First Person, then you are nuttier than Howard Dean.

What part of hypostatic union do you not get? She is the mother of the hypostatic union. But what is the hypostatic union? Not an abstract thing but a single, undivided Person in two natures, the Second Person. Not two Persons either, but one, because only one was incarnated.

"No. What did I ever write that said anything remotely like that?"

By stating that I was a heretical Nestorian or Tritheists in response to my comment, "Because to do so would be imprecise. Mary is not the "mother" of God the Father not is she the "mother" of God the Holy Spirit."

By calling me a heretic based on my statement are you not clearly expressing your disagreement with that statement????

Would you care to review the statement and revise your response?
