For instance, you guys are iconoclasts, you prefer the letters of Paul, you reject the title of Mother of God, you detest the Eucharist and its sacramental nature, and so on.

Except for the complicating factor that the term *Mother of God* is found NOWHERE in Scripture, even from Jesus Himself.

Best He called Him mother was *woman*.

Besides, words mean things. Saying the mother of God says that God had a mother. The more precise term is that Mary was the mother of Christ.

Show me where Trinity is found in Scripture, even from Jesus Himself? If you hold to Trinitarian doctrine, you must hold to Mother of God.

A lot of people were led down the heretical path by following this belief. If Christ is not fully man and fully God to you, then you are not fully Christian by definition.
