I told you I accepted your excuse. I don't expect an apology.
I take it that you are trinitarian yet somehow deny that Mary if the Mother of God?
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.
So, your contention is that, "all generations shall call me blessed" (Luke 1:48) IS NOT in the Bible? Or do you know that it is there and steadfastly disobey it? As far as I know, that phrase (possibly "modernized" but still containing the word "blessed") appears in EVERY Protestant translation. So, why the uneasiness about following the dictates of scripture?
ABSOLUTELY awesome post, PM.
Co-redemptrix....it almost does make one wonder which of the 3 persons of the Trinity has been moved aside to make way for Mary.
In the world of heresy, that's far more eligible a candidate than the poor soul who quotes Luke and says, "Mary the Mother of Jesus."
