Saying “She is the parent of Christ’s humanity” is very much of the essence of the Nestorian heresy, as you would see if you took the time to read up on it.

She is the mother of the whole Jesus, the mother of His Person, the mother of Him. He is one Person, with the Divine and human natures united from the moment of His conception in her womb. He is God, and she is His Mother, from that moment onward.

Simple as that.

That’s what the Westminster confession says, too. Funny Dr. E. doesn’t know that.

Some men are so blind that no amount of logic or reason can reach them.

And sadly, even the word of God falls on deaf ears.

Pray for guidance. Guidance to follow Christ alone. Not His mother, who was a sinner like the rest of us.

I think that those with . . . Nestorian tendencies (as opposed to a fully developed Nestorian theology) fail or refuse to understand or believe that "the Word became flesh." They seem to have a different -- and fuzzy -- understanding that the flesh somehow at some point involved the Word, maybe the flesh became the Word, more likely Christ's flesh somehow became the locus of the Word in some undefined fashion -- neatly avoiding the true miracle of the Incarnation and denying the Hypostatic Union.

So they claim to believe in the Divinity of Christ, but still can see the "Christ child" as something different and divorced from divinity.
