Kolo,
Dr. E and other Protestants on these threads have explicitly spelled out our objections to the term. We have also affirmed explicitly our believe in the Trinity, that Jesus is fully God and fully man. Our desire is to preserve God's eternal preexistence. Why are we continually accused of believing things that we have explicitly shown that we do not? It is clear what we are trying to say. It is not clear why saying Mary is mother of Jesus detracts at all from Christ's deity.
Dr.E: ""Mary is the Mother of God
No, to believe that would be to believe something predated God Himself. Blasphemy.
Mary is the mother of the man, Jesus Christ. As has been asked repeatedly and correctly, is Mary the mother of the Godhead?'"
Is this what "Protestants" believe, Blogger? If so, as I said, "Protestants" are at least Nestorians and more likely Arians.
Because your attempts at preserving God's eternal pre-existence is made at the price of denying Jesus' divinity by insisting that "the holy thing" that was born was a mere man.
Wrong! "What" was born was God united with humanity, but still the pre-existing God. Or do you deny that Mary gave birth to God?
In your attemnpts to make sense of a divine paradox in our eyes, what comes out of the protestant side is denying Christ's divinity and over-emphasizing Christ's humanity. Typical Age of Reason error.
