Isn't this the position we have been maintaining concerning Mary being the mother of Jesus' human nature that was taken on at the incarnation?

Poison? Mary did not give birth to a nature, BD. That's pretty silly, don't you think? Or do you believe women give birth to 'nature?'

Mary gave birth to a Person Who is God, the same God the Word the only-begotten of the Father before all ages, not to a new person, and not to a demigod.

"Mary did not give birth to a nature, BD. That's pretty silly, don't you think?"


When you speak of human nature you speak not only of personality but flesh. Heb. 2:16-17, "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of of the people."
