To: Quix; the_conscience

It was the-conscience’s argument that I had sort of held back belief in the IC and thus rendered my argument suspect that I was arguing against.

BUT

Jesus is God the Son of God

Mary is the Mother of Jesus

SO Mary is the Mother of God the Son of God.

Is there a flaw in that argument?

Thomas calls Jesus “My Lord and my God.” Is he misleading folks by not specifying “My Lord and my second person of the Trinity?”

Jesus is God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten of the Father before all worlds. As touching His Godhood he is not less than the Father.

Neither person of the Trinity IS an other person of the Trinity

Each person of the Trinity is God.

Look, once you articulate trinitarianism you’re gonna get modalism. Once you say Jesus is man and God, you’re gonna get Nestorianism, monothelitism, adoptionism, monophysitism.

People will get it wrong. I’m confident that backed to the wall I will come out in error in my Trinitarian or Christological thought. I don’t see how anybody can get it right.

So, I have to commend my erroneous mind to God for Him to enlighten when and how he sees fit. And I have a sneaking suspicion that that commendation matters more to Him than any amount of theological success.

I trust the same for some uneducated and poorly catechized person somewhere. The sooner they say, “Well it’s all too much for me but I love Jesus and I love His mother,” the better for everybody, especially for them.

Mary is the Mother of Jesus - SO Mary is the Mother of God the Son of God.

YOU are human reasoning/understanding and we are told NOT to lean unto our own understanding.

Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are ALL who HEAR the word of God and OBEY it."

Hear and Obey -
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and LEAN NOT on your OWN UNDERSTANDING;

“Yea RATHER, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”
