Two Christs? Hardly. He was/is 100% man. He was/is 100% God.

It was you who said:
"then she becomes responsible for the HUMAN Jesus and not the GOD Jesus Christ.”

nI'mnot sure what you mean by "responsible" but IF he is ONE, then she is the Mother of God. That just follows. IF she's the mother of the man but not the God, then he is not one.

Firstly, please show me in the Bible where Mary is called the Mother of God. She is called the "mother of Jesus"(John 2:1; Acts 1:14), but never the mother of God.

Just as Christ's human nature had no father, His divine nature had no mother.

And I know. Off we go to the Councils for our answers to the tradition of calling Mary the Mother of God.

In the meantime, I'm saying the RCC cannot have it both ways. If she is the mother of God, she must be present in the Eucharist, when the ACTUAL BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST are changed from wafers and wine. And don't try that "we are the body of Christ" on me. You know, or should know, that that is the Spiritual Body of Christ, being formed even as we speak. Your church couldn't perform a decent Eucharist if you actually meant the spiritual body of Christ and not the literal body of Christ. Half the spiritual body of Christ is in purgatory right now, according to your teachings. You know and I know that it is the literal blood and body of Christ, seated at the right hand of God, that you claim the wafers and wine are turned into at Mass.
