"Mary is the Mother of God
No, to believe that would be to believe something predated God Himself. Blasphemy.
Mary is the mother of the man, Jesus Christ. As has been asked repeatedly and correctly, is Mary the mother of the Godhead?'
This is the first piece of definitive, no question in my simple Orthodox mind, heresy I've seen you post, Dr.E. What part or parts of "Protestantism" share your at a minimum Nestorian and very likely Arian heretical theology? Are you a Jehovah's Witness or a Unitarian?
I'm not surprised you don't recognize real heresy when you see it.
Was Mary the mother of the Godhead?
I think Alice fed me a litle pill and I just awakened in the chaos preceeding the Council of Ephesus :)
Kolo,
Dr. E and other Protestants on these threads have explicitly spelled out our objections to the term. We have also affirmed explicitly our believe in the Trinity, that Jesus is fully God and fully man. Our desire is to preserve God's eternal preexistence. Why are we continually accused of believing things that we have explicitly shown that we do not? It is clear what we are trying to say. It is not clear why saying Mary is mother of Jesus detracts at all from Christ's deity.
