By using the term" "Mother of God" for Mary, a created being, the RCC gives the false impression that Mary preceded Christ which is insanity because the Triune God has no beginning and no ending.

That is a total misinterpretation of what the Church actually teaches. The "false impression" is entirely yours. I've never met a Catholic who holds this false impression, not a single one, nor heard of any Catholic priest or theologian who holds to this egregious error, that Mary pre-existed the Trinity.

The actual teaching about Mary, the Incarnation, Christ's Person, His two natures, and how these all relate together has been posted here literally thousands of times, in hundreds of posts over the last ten years or so, and yet we still hear these ridiculous assertions. The actual teaching has been posted scores of times over the past couple of day, ON THIS THREAD, yet we still have the over-the-top accusations coming out of thin air.

These kind of posts are either made out of ignorance, or designed simply to instigate more "fights", imo.

Are you saying the RCC doesn't assign the divinity to Mary? What's ALL the 'co''s about?

In 2nd grade a nun corrected me when I said the mother of Jesus by saying she is the mother of God. I already knew God already existed - so how could he born? They consistently said mother of God for a reason. Because she didn't 'just' give birth to the man, JESUS. The man JESUS, Who died for our sins, WASN'T ENOUGH! And still isn't to the RCC with the 'works' mentality, or praying to Mary as 'co mediator'.

They don't teach about pre existing God but that is what they are implying without saying it - yet say it with their 'co's. She is the mother of the man, JESUS. It ends there! But that isn't good enough, is it?
