there was a time in the Church when "Mother of Christ" only referred to Nestorianism and heresy. Given the normal use of those words today, that conclusion is counter intuitive

Mother of Christ is fine. Mother of God is more precise, that is all. We do not object to the first, but you object to the second.

huge growth in understanding

Christian disunity of cosmic proportions thank to your Sola Scriptura superstition is not what I would call growth in understanding.

This is an example of why, after 8000 posts later, some people just refuse to be swayed or see common sense, despite being given Bible verses that make this all crystal clear and not worth arguing over...

And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Luke 1:41-43

I would like to hear an explanation that Mary is the Mother of something OTHER than God in this verse... WHO is the Lord of Elizabeth here, other than God???

Annalex, this is why I rarely post here anymore. Apparently, "Mother of God" is wrong because Catholics call Mary the Mother of God, so some feel they must argue against it for a minimum of 5000 posts, further dividing the Temple of God. (see 1 Cor 3:17 for what's in store for such dividers of the Body of Christ)..
