NOT AT ALL. I'm a bit perturbed that you'd say that.
THAT'S NOT THE POINT AT ALL.
Those are 2 different issues that just happen to both be evident in the case of the
MISLEADING,
FALSE,
SEDUCTIVE,
MANIPULATIVE
TITLE OF
"MOTHER OF GOD."
Mary was
NOT AT ALL
THE MOTHER OF ALMIGHTY GOD!
That's a simple fact.
REMOTELY IMPLYING SHE WAS,
IT IS GREATLY WORSE--BRAZENLY STATING IT
AS FAR AS
100'S OF MILLIONS OF FOLKS OF
ALL TYPES OF PERSUASIONS AROUND THE WORLD
--INCLUDING UNTHINKING, SIMPLE FOLK, BLIND FAITH TYPES OF
ROMAN CATHOLICS THE WORLD OVER
It not only causes confusion. it increases idolatry and blasphemy.
The Pope and the magicsterical are bright enough to know that. Yet they perpetuate the lie.
THAT'S DREADFUL, NO MATTER HOW ONE SLICES IT.
It was the-conscience’s argument that I had sort of held back belief in the IC and thus rendered my argument suspect that I was arguing against.
BUT
Jesus is God the Son of God
Mary is the Mother of Jesus
SO Mary is the Mother of God the Son of God.
Is there a flaw in that argument?
Thomas calls Jesus “My Lord and my God.” Is he misleading folks by not specifying “My Lord and my second person of the Trinity?”
Jesus is God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten of the Father before all worlds. As touching His Godhood he is not less than the Father.
Neither person of the Trinity IS an other person of the Trinity
Each person of the Trinity is God.
Look, once you articulate trinitarianism you’re gonna get modalism. Once you say Jesus is man and God, you’re gonna get Nestorianism, monothelitism, adoptionism, monophysitism.
People will get it wrong. I’m confident that backed to the wall I will come out in error in my Trinitarian or Christological thought. I don’t see how anybody can get it right.
So, I have to commend my erroneous mind to God for Him to enlighten when and how he sees fit. And I have a sneaking suspicion that that commendation matters more to Him than any amount of theological success.
I trust the same for some uneducated and poorly catechized person somewhere. The sooner they say, “Well it’s all too much for me but I love Jesus and I love His mother,” the better for everybody, especially for them.
“Mary was
NOT AT ALL
THE MOTHER OF ALMIGHTY GOD!”

Yes, she was, and no matter how many times you say she wasn’t , or how many colored fonts and giant letters you use, or how many geometric shapes you arrange them in, or how many BRAZEN and HORRIFIC slurs you splatter on the page, you’ll get the same exact result.
Mary is the Mother of God.
INDEED!
