Thanks. Blogger wants to take a middle position, avoiding the Third Council's teaching, while avoiding heresy too. But he doesn't realize that there is no middle position here. Either he must affirm that Mary is the Mother of God, or he is either a Nestorian or an Arian.

No I mustn't.

Unlike Nestorius, I believe that God the Son is one person 100% God and 100% Man, melded into 1. How he can be so is a mystery, but He is.

Unlike Arius, I believe Jesus is fully God as well as being fully man.

Unlike most of the Mary "venerators" on this thread, I am humble enough to know that I can not explain certain mysteries - including the incarnation. I will choose to accept what Scripture calls Mary and that is mother of Jesus.

If calling Mary Mother of Jesus is heresy - then your argument is with the Holy Spirit, not myself.
