***This is intimacy beyond that which any other human has ever experienced.***

Obviously, for Jesus to have multiple birth mothers is non sensical. But this is still a 2 + 2 = 13 argument.

I am both a biological and adoptive father. My intimacy with my kids is not increased or diminished by having a genetic link or by being present in the delivery room.

Your argument would insist that my wife and I are more intimate with our daughter (biologically ours) than our son (ours via adoption). This is patently not the case.

By the same logic one would conclude that a man can never be as intimate with his wife as the intimacy he can have with his mother. Another 2 + 2 = 13 argument.

Dear drstevej,

Your intimacy with your wife is greater than that of others with your wife. Your relationship wih her is unique.

Your wife's relationship with the children to whom she gave birth is unique from other relationships she has, or that her children have with others.

That doesn't denigrate, on a human level, other relationships.

But don't get it backwards - our relationships mirror the Divine, the Divine do not mirror ours.

And in this, Mary, the Mother of God, was given a unique, special intimacy with the interior of the Trinity, as she was chosen by God the Father to conceive the Incarnate Son by the power of the Holy Spirit.

2 + 2 + 5 + 4 = 13
