Mary is the mother of Christ as noted in the Word. She is never referred to in the manner as catholics call her.
If you allow the title, Mary, mother of God....do you allow the title, Mary, mother of the Trinity and all that implies?
No you don't.
That's why the catholic claim goes way beyond Scripture and elevates Mary to something not accorded to her in the Word.
**She is never referred to in the manner as catholics call her.**
Please re-read the story of the Visitation where Elizabth, filled wih the Holy Spirit, exclaims —
Luke 1:39-44
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
40 and she entered the house of Zechari’ah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Did you catch the word “the mother of my Lord” there?
Mary has NEVER been called the Mother of the Trinity. The title “Mother of God” has never meant that Mary is the Mother of the Trinity.
Mary is the Mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God, the Second Person of the Trinity.
Therefore, Mary is the Mother of God, the Second Person of the Trinity.
Continually protesting that “Mary is not the mother of the Trinity” is like picketing the nearest fire station, protesting the green fire engines, even though all the fire engines are red. You are protesting against something that NOBODY BELIEVES.
