She was, however the mother of the man, Jesus.

IOW, you don't accept the hypostatic union? Just to clarify . . .

Well, since you asked, I consider the whole concept of God having a mother somewhat blasphemous.

I do accept that Jesus was wholly Man and wholly God. But God existed before Mary, including God the Son.

You know, I accept the doctrine of the Trinity, although I cannot explain it. One God, Three Persons. Doesn’t make sense, but I accept it. However, I find evidence of it in Scripture.

The Mother of God thing neither makes sense to me, nor do I find any evidence to support it in the Scripture.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that on chesley's part, from what s/he has said. "Theotokos" has some severe theological problems itself, see my post #144.
