Mary gave birth to a PERSON with two natures - human and divine. By your reasoning, you would divide Our Lord into a human person and a divine person, and that’s contrary to Scripture, for “every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God, and every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world” [1 John 4: 2-3].

Why is this always such a point of contention among non-Catholic Christians? Are most not believers in the Trinity? Do they not believe Christ is both God AND man? Unless they believe He was simply God “masquerading” in the form of a man, how can they deny the humanity He received from Mary his mother? And that as such, she IS indeed the Mother of God?

“Mary gave birth to a PERSON with two natures - human and divine. By your reasoning, you would divide Our Lord into a human person and a divine person, and that’s contrary to Scripture ...”

That is a very simple, clear way to put it. Good job.
