And yet, don't you understand that by saying the mother (the bearer) of the Incarnate Word, you neglect to say that she also bore Christ, God, because Christ was the incarnate man and also the Creator God.

Oversimplification can and has led to severe errors in this doctrine throughout history -- or rather it did for the first three centuries, then stopped with the Nicene creed and resurfaced 1200 years later when The Church had neglected it's duties to keep teaching the Germanics

Thank you so much for your reply, dear brother in Christ!

For me, the title "Mother of God" requires more explanation than "Mother of the Incarnate Word" and therefore I would say the former is more over-simplified than the latter.

Nevertheless, and no matter what titles we may use for faithful Christians, the Names of God must be hallowed.

And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. - Deuteronomy 12:3-4

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
