You’re too late. Another RCC watchdog threw that bone at me a few months back. Doesn’t fit, ain’t my view, etc. etc. God didn’t/doesn’t have a mother. Jesus, as the second person in the Trinity, was NOT conceived in Mary’s womb. He inhabited her womb - she carried Him, bore Him in the flesh - but she did not birth God. That notion is absurd.

So you do not believe that Christ was fully human and fully divine. That He was eternally begotten of the Father?

You are correct. If Jesus was here at the beginning, he needed no “Mother”. It is my belief he showed Himself before His birth also. I believe the angel that stayed with Abraham while Sodom was destroyed was Jesus. I believe Melchizedek is Jesus.

If Jesus is God, then He has been here from the Creation and has the ability to travel through time whenever its required.

Here is a lesson in traditional theology:

Jesus Christ was both completely human and completely divine at the same time. He was both a human being and the eternal Logos (the Word). He had two natures.

God does not have a mother. But Jesus Christ did, because he was both of man and of God.

The Logos was not concieved in Mary’s womb, but Jesus Christ was, because in him, God and man were united together in one body in order to save and redeem mankind
