Do you affirm the line I quoted in #1968 from the Athanasian Creed: "So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not Three Gods, but One God."?

Or do you think that word 'God' is properly used only to refer to the conjunction of all three divine Persons, not to any one of the three Persons?

I don't believe you can separate the three members of the Trinity from being one God. I affirm the line from the Athanasian Creed. But my point is that you have to be very very careful about throwing the term "God" around and I don't believe you should go beyond what Scripture itself expresses. I believe the church was wrong to give Mary the title. It brings confusion. Their explanation is fair enough - though her exaltation beyond Scripture's guidance is not.
