Nestorianism

You keep repeating that charge which just reveals you do not understand the term.

Christ is not "two persons."

And Mary is not the "Mother of God," a "Co-Redeemer," a Mediator" nor "Queen of Heaven."

Saying that Mary is the mother of God says more about Christ Jesus than it does about Mary. If Christ Jesus is not God, then who is he, according to the OPC?

On the contrary, it is you who do not (or will not) understand the term. The essence of Nestorianism is that it separates the two NATURES of Christ, and says that Mary is only the mother of the human nature of Christ, not of His person. The two natures cannot be separated. They are united in one Person, Who is Divine.
