"Calling Mary the mother of GOD makes her the mother of the Father and the mother of the Spirit. Mother of Christ is fine, though Scripture calls her mother of Jesus and mother of my Lord. You can not use imprecise language with a term like this. Mother of God is imprecise. Mother of the God-man Jesus Christ might work - but Scripture, as usual, will suffice."

I am astonished! After 4500+ posts, you still say that calling her Theotokos is imprecise?!!!!! As I thought we all agreed, at least those of us Christians who recite the Nicene Creed, unless one can call her Theotokos, one is either a Nestorian or an Arian. I can't tell from your statement if it is your Christology which is deficient or your Trinitarian theology or both.

Keep up Kolo. I'm embracing this view and enthusiastically stating the Mary is pre-existent to God! Should be no problem with that.
