If your not you could get into some real theological messes such as Mary was the mother of God and was impregnated by God. Not a nice picture.


Mary as mother of Jesus, like the BIBLE says (Who cares what Nestorius later said) will suffice and cause a WHOLE LOT LESS CONFUSION!

God had no beginning so had no need for a mother in His divine self. The incarnate Christ did indeed have an earthly mother but only for His humanity, not His divinity which needed no mother nor could it have a mother since it had no beginning.

That's Nestorianism, dividing the natures. Mary was not merely the mother of a *nature*. She was the mother of a *Person*. That *Person* was the Second Person of the Trinity.
