Dear xzins,
"The burden in on the accusers:"
Who are the accuserS?
Even kosta points out that he is merely pointing out what is heresy, not accusing any specific individual of being a heretic.
Mary is the Mother of God.
To deny this is heresy, as taught by the Apostolic Churches. There are some in this thread who seem unwilling to affirm this Christological truth, proclaimed by the Whole, Universal and Ancient Church.
If you don't abide by the teachings of the Apostolic Churches, DON'T SWEAT IT!
As well, at least for Catholics, saying someone is speaking heresy isn't quite the same as calling someone a heretic.
I haven't read every single post herein, so if someone specifically wrote, "You, xzins, are a heretic," well, I missed it. Point it out to me, and I'll give my opinion of the post.
However, if folks have merely said, "To deny that Mary is the Mother of God is heresy," then, heck, I have to agree with that. Sorry.
That doesn't mean that I'm calling anyone who thus denies the truth of this teaching a heretic.

You are playing word games now.
Are you saying that Mary is the Mother of the Father?
