>>“Does that mean that God married His own mother?”<<

This is the type of issue you create when you make Mary into a demigoddess and idolize her.

Mary becomes the spouse of God, mother of God, and part of the Godhead....

I agree. The whole purpose behind the "mother of God" statement was not to elevate Mary....but to clarify the Jesus was indeed God.

This is a good example of unintended consequences. If the Council had simply appealed to Scripture they could have easily shown Jesus was both man and divine without having to resort to this.

Roman Catholicism has taken this way out of context and the original intended purpose.

This is a good example of what happens when you don't rely upon Scripture.

Are you saying that some people, who will remain unnamed, are not too good at handling scripture? 😁😇🤣😄
