Luke, however, wrote in Greek and also (surprise) read Greek, including the Septuagint. Yet Luke did not write “mother of Christ” — which would be “mother of Messiah” but “mother of my Lord”. Complain to him, or to Elizabeth; I read the Holy Scripture as written.

“Yet Luke did not write “mother of Christ” — which would be “mother of Messiah” but “mother of my Lord”.”

If you wish to understand the text, you must look at the context and understand that “Lord” was used to refer to Messiah. This is Who Mary was informed she would carry and why she was blessed.

Clearly, Mary was not Mother of Yahweh - the other option for “Lord.”

Best
