Jesus is God. (Jesus is NOT the Trinity.)

Jesus is God...God is the Trinity...Jesus is the Trinity...

If you deny that Mary is the mother of God, you have to deny that Mary is the mother of Jesus. You have to deny that the Word became flesh. You have to deny that God became man. You have to deny the entire gospel and the entire Christian Faith.

You just don't know enough scripture...

1Ti_3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

The bible doesn't make that mistake...I don't know why you do...

Jesus had 2 natures...Human and divine...Jesus human body is, human...Mary is the mother of that human body...What is inside Jesus that is not flesh and blood is divine...THAT divinity was provied by the Holy Spirit...Mary is not the mother of that divinity...That's why Mary is not said to be the mother of God in the scriptures...But only the mother of Jesus...

When Jesus died, his spirit went immediately to heaven...His soul went down to the depts of the earth...His body lay dead in the tomb...

Mary is the mother of Jesus.

Jesus is the Word, the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, who is God.

Therefore, Mary is the mother of God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity.

Your theory, that Mary is the mother of a human body, is bizarre. And it’s contrary to Scripture. Scripture says that Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is a PERSON, not a body.

The PERSON who is Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity.

Why don’t you believe Scripture, which says that Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God?

What is inside Jesus that is not flesh and blood is divine.

Congratulations! You have just fallen into the heresy of Apollinarianism. Namely: You have asserted that the Divine Person takes the place of a human soul in Christ.

You have just helped to prove my point: The more determined people are to deny Mary the title "Mother of God" the more they fall into basic Christological heresies. They deny that Jesus is ONE PERSON. They deny (as you just did) that Jesus has a human soul. They deny that the flesh of Jesus came from Mary's body.

All of these heresies come from hatred of Mary, which will not accord to her the simple title "Mother of God."

You say that Scripture doesn't call Mary the "mother of God."

True. Scripture does not use the phrase "mother of God."

But Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of Jesus. And Scripture tells us that Jesus is God. Therefore, Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of God.
