The loose talk is all on your side, K. To equate a belief that Mary was not a supernatural being, but a woman graced by God to give birth to Jesus Christ as told in Scripture to the heresy that demotes the Son in the Trinity is ludicrous, and simply shows you cannot defend your determination to fall down to the stock of a tree without making insipid accusations.

Where in the Bible does it say we are not supposed to pray to a package of cheese? Where in the Bible does it say we are not supposed to draw pictures of elephants and venerate them? Where in the Bible does it say we are not to commemorate garlic and bananas as part of the Lord's Supper?

Your extra-Biblical leaps and bounds are no less fanciful. I guess we can chalk it up to more unknowable mysticism.

Can you affirm that Mary is The Theotokos and NOT the Christokos? If you can't, well, you are either an Arian heretic or a Nestorian heretic. I am not the one who said she gave birth to Jesus Christ "the man", you are and that, at a minimum is Nestorianism. Now tell me, Dr.E, what is insipid about that accusation? You want insipid? Insipid is asking an Orthodox Christian whether or not Mary gave birth "to the Godhead"! Good heavens!

By the way, I sincerely doubt that there is one person who has participated in this thread who cannot or will not affirm that Mary is The Theotokos and NOT the Christokos, except, apparently, you.
