you are again...ignoring the definition of “mother” and arguing facts that are not in dispute.
The article is filled with “catholic notions of reality” because the nestorian heresy was part of catholic history, and recorded by the catholic church.
You are, afterall, not going to get the full historical perspective of Nestorius from a baptist encyclopecia.
“Mary is the mother of the Body of Jesus Whom God inhabited as Christ”
You are separating the two natures of Christ - which is why I consider you a nestorian.
“Mary did not create God. The notion she did is absurd.”
no one made the claim Mary created God.
That notion is indeed absurd. Agreed.
“When you gave birth to your children, you built their bodies, not their souls.”
And yet I am still called their “mother”
That is because being a “mother” does NOT mean that I created them.
It means that I bore them in my womb and gave birth to them.
I didn’t even build their bodies. I don’t know how to build a body.
God built their bodies and their souls.
He just used my womb as an incubator.
” The notion that is even possible is found nowhere in scripture. Therefore also absurd. “
your view is found nowhere in scripture.
What did Elizabeth call Mary?
What did Jesus call Mary?
“Goodness, lady, do you not read the Bible for yourself? If the magisterium said water runs uphill, would you believe it in spite of what’s before you eyes?”
could you try to be more of a jerk?
You built your children's' bodies. That is observable, medical fact and not subject to conjecture. Because you don't know how you did it makes no difference to the fact it was done. You had to impregnate an egg by conscious and guided choice to engage the mechanism of body building.
You don't know how your medulla oblongata keeps your heart beating, either, but it does. God created the whole mechanism; we just use it. But we do use it according to our choices, whether in a Godly or unGodly manner.
Remember, God created the Earthly mode of making the vehicle of the soul. You folks seem to choke on the notion that He would have used His own created mechanism to make a material vehicle for His Son.
Mary likewise built Jesus' body so He could walk among us. A man is a body and a soul. The body dies and the soul is freed to its destination. The two are separate existences.
What did Elizabeth call Mary? What did Jesus call Mary?
Elizabeth called blessed because God selected her to build the body of Jesus. Jesus called her mother because she built His body and raised Him. And so. . .?
I call most of what the Catholic church teaches absurd. If that makes me a jerk, I'll have a T-shirt made.
Christ Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except by Him. Mary simply built His Earthly vehicle, and for such she rates praise that God chose her as one of the lineage of David. But Jesus is the point, with nothing beyond it.
Allow me to be a jerk again. You Catholics need to get out more. Read the Bible and think about what it says and the implications instead of swallowing what the magisterium says whole.
