Reason #223 Not to Call Mary the "mother of God": "The title “Mother of God” has NEVER meant that Mary is the mother of the eternal, Triune God."

Do you affirm or deny that Miriam/Mary is the mother of Immanuel/God with us ?

“Do you affirm or deny that Miriam/Mary is the mother of Immanuel/God with us ? “

Yes, I certainly do affirm or deny!

I think your posts on this have already plumbed the depths of what you got. You’re headed down a road we already covered and rejected as poor use of logic and a category mistake.

And yet you persist in trying to call poor dear Mary something God Himself never did. Why do you do so? Do you know better than He???

Best.

There’s a difference between saying *mother of God* and *mother of God with us*, IOW, mother of Jesus, just as the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of Scripture to say.

*Mother of God* means that the Godhead has a mother.

*Mother of Jesus* says that the Incarnation of God, Jesus, has a mother.

*Mother of God* says that deity has a mother, a beginning.

*Mother of Jesus* says that His human body has a beginning.

*Mother of God* leads to all kinds of theological error about the nature of God and the nature of Mary, as we have seen the fruition of in Catholicism where she is effectively treated as Godhead.

She’s given names of God. She’s given attributes of God. She’s given characteristics of God. She’s given power of God. She’s prayed to, bowed down to, and had plenty of people dedicate their lives to her.

And not a single bit of it justified or supported by Scripture.
