Why even mention Muslims? The Jews do not accept Jesus’ divinity either — if they did, they would be Christians.
But getting back to basics: Your mom, when she was pregnant with you was mother of your total person i.e. your body and soul.
Mary, when she was pregnant with Jesus was also mother of His Whole Person — Body, Soul and Divinity. Not just mother of Body and Soul. Hence Catholics give Mary the title of Mother of God. They know full well that Jesus’ divinity does not find it’s origin in Mary. Sheesh, you think we are all ignorant?
By the way, the title “Mother of God” was already used in the 2nd century. It was only 14 centuries later during the Protestant Reformation that this title was questioned.
I guess Catholics were in error for 15 centuries until Protestants came on the scene and shined the light of truth on this misunderstanding. Yeah right.
I believe your sarcasm is actually a truth. The title "Mother of God" for Mary is not a Scriptural term. I believe it is the theological invention of errant men to support a Christological mistake.
Jesus' flesh was not begotten of Mary's fallen Adamic flesh. Jesus was entirely conceived of the Holy Ghost and not of Mary, in my opinion of the entire context of the Bible. Mary could not supply the Y-chromosome determining His masculinity, so why should Mary be needed to supply the remainder of His material chemistry?
The immaculateness of Mary's own conception is another figment of human philosophy to ignorantly justify theological error, when the actual biological principles were not understood until recently.
Rather than just accept on faith that Mary, not being Divinity personified, needed a Savior (Lk. 1:47), the Greek-trained philosophers manufactured a logical unscriptural explanation to account a phenomenon not given to them to explain, to satisfy the requirements of their soulish unchristian disciplines.
By faith, I accept that it is enough that she was deemed uniquely fit enough in character and devotion to be a holy vessel for God's use in the fullness of time.
I say so with reverence.
