"Mary gave birth to Jesus, not God."......Still struggling with the concept of the Trinity I see

GOD was FROM THE BEGINNING. No one gave birth to GOD The Father, God The Son/The Living Word, God The Holy Spirit.

The Son, Jesus manifest into flesh - HE ALWAYS WAS GOD.

The RCC's house of Maryology would fall down if Catholics ever understood that or ALLOWED to understand that. That's why the RCC need doctrine/decrees to keep the deception going.

And that's what happens when the HOLY SPIRIT isn't the TEACHER but 'man' - deception enters in.

Someone who is deceived has accepted "as true or valid what is false or invalid" (Webster).

Are there any trinitarian Protestants here participating in this discussion?
