I made no reference to you personally, nor was my comment directed to anyone in particular. Unlike my tagline which makes it very clear what I believe, others have non-descript or missing taglines. Others identity their beliefs when they begin a discussion, so that there is no confusion as to what beliefs one may be holding.

I could be talking to an atheist, a non-trinitarian, a Muslim, Buddhist, Jew, anyone. Among Christians there are so many denominations, so many splinters, each having their own "flavor" that it is impossible to know what the other person believes unless it is clearly stated.

Neither you, nor others in your camps so to say, have clearly identified what denomination they belong to and what personal beliefs they hold. It makes a discussion a lot more meaningful if someone openly states "I don't believe Mary is a Mother of God" rather than present an ambiguous "Protestant" facade.

I thank you for your link. I take it that you are trinitarian yet somehow deny that Mary if the Mother of God?

Agreed. It would be very helpful if posters would identify themselves either in their taglines or home pages.

I told you I accepted your excuse. I don't expect an apology.

Jesus Christ is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. There is only one God.

Mary is the Mother of Jesus Christ. The Bible gives her the Title of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. That Title is sufficient.

The Bible does not specifically give her the Title of "The Mother of God." Neither will I. You go down that road and the next thing you know you will be giving her all kinds of unbliblical titles, like:

Co-Redemtrix
Our Mediator
Mother of the Church
Mother of divine grace
Virgin most merciful
Cause of our joy
Gate of heaven
Morning star
Health of the sick,
Refuge of sinners
Queen of angels,
Queen of Heaven,
Queen of patriarchs,
Queen of prophets,
Queen of apostles,
Queen of martyrs,
Queen of confessors,
Queen of virgins,
Queen of all saints,
Queen conceived without original sin,
Queen assumed into heaven,
Queen of the most holy Rosary,
Queen of families
Queen of peace.

More to follow.

She is "Mary, the Mother of Jesus". I am certain she is more than pleased and more than satisfied with that title and somewhat embarrassed by the others.
