Your mind set seems Nestorian: Mary as the mother of Jesus, but not of the Christ, as the human and divine natures in the Christ could be separated.

RobbyS:

I have stated this for over 5 years, many, and I mean many, of the FR Prots here are full blown Nestorians and you can try to tell them but their blind hatred for the Catholic Church blinds them. They don’t even realize the implications of the Nestorian position leads to either subordination of CHrist or some form of adoptionism, either of which distorts the Divinity of Christ and Him being consubstantial [homousia] with the Father.

I am afraid many of the Reformed Prots here are getting similar to many of the pentecostal movements, who many now are OneNess which is recycled Modalism, of course, which was condemned by the early 3rd century Bishops of Rome. The similarity with thise FR Prots, most of which seem to me to be fundalmentalist Bible alone Baptist, Reformed or evangelicals is that there embracing of Nestorianism is an explicit Christological heresy, Modalism being not only Christological but also a Trinitarian heresy.

You and I want be here to see it, but all of Protestantism will eventually colllapse with its “militant Bible alone and Me alone” principles.

While...

Your mind set seems ROMAN: Mary as the mother of Jesus; with her humanness infused with a divine nature.

I'll go with what the Holy Spirit called her, thank you.

If what He called her in Scripture which He inspired isn't good enough for you, you can take it up with God when you see Him.

John 2:1-3 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Nowhere is Mary called the mother of Christ or the mother of God.
