She DID give birth to God, to the Second Person of the Trinity made man. He is God as much as the Father and the Holy Spirit.

She gave birth to Jesus, the Second person of the Trinity.

Claiming she is the mother of God gives the false impression that His nature came from her. Jesus divine nature comes from the Father, not Mary.

Claiming she is the mother of God gives the false impression that His nature came from her. Jesus divine nature comes from the Father, not Mary.

I don't know any Catholics, either priests or laymen, that have that false impression. That impressions seems to me to be limited to fundamentalist protestants and misinformed anti-Catholics posting on websites and preaching in some churches.

No Catholic here, to my knowledge, has claimed Jesus' Divine nature came from Mary. However, He is one Person, and Mary is not merely the mother of His human nature, she is the mother of HIM. Not from all eternity, of course, but at the moment of the Incarnation, she BECAME His mother. His two natures are totally united in one Person. He is God, has always been God, and will always be God, and from the moment of the Incarnation, Mary became His Mother, and will always be His Mother.

Claiming she is the mother of God gives the false impression that His nature came from her. Jesus divine nature comes from the Father, not Mary.

Did God, the Creator, precede Mary or did Mary precede God? If Mary preceded God, the Creator, than Genesis is in error.

Is Genesis in error?
