I see someone is completely incapable of a logical syllogism.

>> Butter is yellow...The Sun is yellow...The Sun is made of butter....Try again.<<

The parallel logical structure would be, “The Butter is yellow. That which is yellow is the Sun. The butter is the sun.”

That statement WOULD be a perfectly valid logical statement, aside from the obviously false statement, “that which is yellow is the Sun.”

Mary IS the mother of Jesus. That’s true.
That which is Jesus IS God. That’s true.
Hence, Mary is the mother of God is true.

Mary is the mother of Christ’s humanity not His divinity.

Saying that Mary is the mother of God is saying that she is the mother of His as God, the mother of His divinity.

That puts her above God and makes God a created being, subservient to her, which fits in very well with the blasphemy that God cannot refuse any requests of Mary, which is why Catholics pray to her. They try to circumvent God by appealing to her figuring that with motherly compassion, she’s won’t deny a request made to her by us lowly humans, and then God can’t/won’t deny her her petition.

It’s just an attempt at blackmailing God into doing what Catholics want Him to instead of saying *Thy will be done*.

NOPE.

Folks are not idiots.

Folks realize that the Vatican Cult has been elevating Mary by the insidious implication that she was on a par with Father God in her mothering

. . . for centuries.

Doesn’t wash with Proddys grounded in Scripture.

Mary IS the mother of Jesus. That’s true. That which is Jesus IS God. That’s true. Hence, Mary is the mother of God is true.

According to that "logic," God therefore is not eternal and has a beginning. Did Mary pre-exist God?

That's the only way it works.

Fail.
