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?

Saying Mary is the mother of God leads fools to all sorts of anti-Scriptural conclusions, i.e. Mary is a mediator; Mary is a co-redeemer, Mary is queen of the universe...
God help those who believe such insanity. It is not Christianity. It's idolatry.

Saying that Mary is the mother of God says more about Christ Jesus than it does about Mary.No, it doesn't. It clearly says something about Mary that isn't true.
Mary is not the parent of Christ's divinity. She is the parent of Christ's humanity.

Anyone with a decent working knowledge of who Christ is realizes that. I suppose that only failed Protestants would have trouble with that.
