You stated: "I agree that Mary the mother of Jesus, as opposed to the mother of God, since God always was and always will be, was a very special person."

That is a repackage of the Arian Heresy as I pointed out just above. I also described the essence of the Trinity as best one can in 50 words or less [and who is only a 'creature' trying to understand the total mystery of the Divine.]

What you construe by my reply or failure to give one is "apologetics judo." I asked a question and you are deflecting my attention to "Hey look! There's a fly on the wall!"

The issue is, do you believe that Mary is the Mother of God? A simple yes or no will suffice. That is your reply to which I initially responded.

To: Frank Sheed; All

Remember that God loves you and wants to save you and share everlasting life with you in Heaven.

Philippians 4:6-8 (New International Version)
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

John 3: 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."[h]
