Which is pretty pure Nestorianism.

What's with this Nestorianism junk??? All ANYONE knows about the nature of God in the Trinity is what is revealed in scripture...And God didn't reveal much...

Your religion condemns a group of people for believing something that your religion has no more of a clue about than anyone else...

Mary is not the mother of God since God was not conceived in Mary's womb...

The fine details of the Trinity are not revealed and are thus insignificant to the salvation of the believer, UNLESS, a religion wants to elevate the Mother of Jesus to to a position of Deity...

From what I see, you religion is practically void of the knowledge of the Holy Spirit residing and working within the body of a believer

Your focus as opposed to the Nestorians, anyone else and the scriptures is turned to Mary, not the Trinity...

With the Nestorian view, you can't have a queen of heaven...

Look at the rest of your post and you can see it.

Does you church say the Nicene creed?

Uh...yes, He was.

God the Father was not conceived, and God the Holy Spirit was not conceived, but God the Son was most definitely conceived in her womb in His Sacred Humanity. He remained God as he took on human flesh. Mary is not merely the mother of his human nature, she is the mother of Him, and He is a Divine Person, true God AND true man from that moment on.

Of course Mary is not the mother of his Divine nature from all eternity, but this nature became united with His human nature in one Person at the moment he took flesh in her womb. She became the mother of that Person from that moment onward.

The truth about Mary not only points out beautifully the truths about Jesus, but also the wonderful truth of the Trinity. You could never "get it wrong" about Jesus if you understand the truth about Mary. That's why we say that she leads us to her Son.

That is a factual error. Reality is otherwise.

But Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb.

Therefore Jesus was not God when he was conceived.

Q.E.D.
