Mary is the mother of a person, Jesus, who is God and man. He was also 5’10” and 180 lbs.
That person is ONE person, not two, or three, or four.
Therefore, by being the mother of Jesus, Mary is simultaneously the mother of a person who is 5’10”, and the mother of a person who is 180 lbs, and the mother of a person who is a man, and the mother of a person who is God.
The title “Mother of God” NEVER meant that Mary pre-existed, conceived, or caused the existence of, the eternal, Triune God. The reason the title NEVER meant that was that the Christians who call Mary by that title are not idiots.
The ONLY way Mary is NOT the mother of God is if the person Jesus who is man is NOT the same person Jesus who is God.
Arthur,
“He was also 5’10” and 180 lbs.”
You’re into the Sacramental wine again!
“The ONLY way Mary is NOT the mother of God is if the person Jesus who is man is NOT the same person Jesus who is God.”
We will continue to disagree. I won’t give Mary a title God Himself never does.
Why do you suppose God left out that title Arthur?
Why do you suppose some people are so eager to give her the title God never did?
Our Deacon in Oklahoma used to say, “If you’re not Marian, you’re probably Arian.” The truths about Mary safeguard the truths about Jesus.
And as Professor Diggory said in the Narnia books, “What do they teach them in these schools?” Not logic ...
