I didn't say.. Jesus was two people.. but Mary is not the mother of God.. God the Father the Son and the Spirit existed previous to the birth of Jesus.

If Jesus is true God and was true man, then Mary as his mother is the Mother of God and was the mother of the man. She's the mother of all of Jesus, you can't separate the two. What's so hard about this?

The definition of Mary as Theotokos (Bearer of God) is a guarantee of a correct understanding of the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.

She was His mother, right?

He is God, right?

Then, ipso facto, she is the Mother of God. Or, do we have Nestorians and Arians amongst us who just cannot ascribe complete divinity and humanity to the Incarnate God?

Christos Voskrese!
