OK, I just went back to my post at #1089 just to make sure --- and sure enough, I never said that! I never said David was the father of the 2nd Person of the Trinity(!!)
... but he was the father of Jesus Christ, who is God... and Man. This means only that David is His ancestor according to the flesh, and Jesus is truly Son of David, Son of Mary, and Son of God.
Back at #1089, I made an extra-special point of this fact, and framed it: that this does NOT mean that Jesus' forebears were sources of the Godhead. It just means that they were Jesus' ancestors, whose flesh Jesus assumed when He became Man.
Jesus is one Person, co-eternal with the Father. But He has two natures: divine and human. Mary is his genetic mother (gave Him flesh, i.e. a human nature), gestational mother (carried Him in her womb), parturient mother (Theotokos, gave Him birth), nursing mother (suckled Him), social mother, legal mother, even home-schooling mother I suppose: His Mater et Magistra.
But not the source of His Divinity.
I don't think you doubt any of this.
That's the aggravatin' part. I think we're arguing about something we both agree on.
Nighty-night! You'll have to argue tomorrow without me!
Try to carry on!
Ok! So you do not believe Mary is the “mother of God”?
