“It is not that technicality it might not be allowed in a strict context (Jesus is God, Mary is His mother), but what it otherwise conveys (God had a mother) and what it is part of and the manner in which the Holy Spirit describes her (the mother of Jesus)”

There’s no question about it. God does have a mother. Mary. The only reason you have difficulty saying so is because it means admitting that the Catholic church is right and you are wrong.

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Resorting to ad hominem mode will not refute the reasons i gave, and in your attempt at mind reading you have made a false statement, for the reason i reject the title is due to wanting to be consistent with Scripture in what it provides, and with its use of titles and tempered praise of souls, whereas Rome has ascribed to mortals much more than what is written.

And the reason i agree with Rome in many things she teaches is that i seek to validate truth claims by Scriptural examination, rather than assurance being based upon the premise of a perpetually infallible autocratic magisterium.

Yet the fact that an entity is right on some things does not mean they are right on all, and the way God established truth claims in Scripture, as written, was by Scriptural substantiation.

And the way God often preserved truth was by raising up men from without the magisterium to reprove it if needed. And thus the church began as the body of Christ, and thus it will continue.

So the Catholic god is only about 2,000 years old, eh? The God I serve is the eternal, creator God, who had neither beginning nor end. Not some Mormon like created being.

And Catholics claim to believe the Bible?
