Some day, I pray, that you will know who Mary is. She’ll introduce you to her son Jesus. Her “yes” to the Holy Spirit changed everything. There is no praise unworthy of Our Blessed Mother.
"By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God: And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world" [1 John 4: 2-3]
This faulty theology would split Our Lord into a human person and a divine person, when He is ONE person with a human nature and a divine nature. In other words, it "dissolveth Jesus."
The title Theotokos or "Mother of God" acknowledges that Mary gave birth to a PERSON, not a nature.

My wife and I each went to catholic school for 12 years. In looking back at all this Mary silliness we are embarssed for you. “Immaculate Conception - pul-lease! No disespect, but come on! Sheesh.
If Jesus was God in the flesh as the Bible says, then yes...Mary was the earthly “Mother” of God.
Read the Bible a little closer.
Seriously uninformed commentary!
Of course Mary is the Mother of God.
The doctrine that Christ was simultaneously God and Man is well established in Christianity.
To attempt to assert that Mary is only the mother of only “the Man Part” is ludicrous.
Just as the Trinity is a mystery we accept on faith and cannot explain in human terms, the same is true of the simultaneity of Christ being both God and Man, and Mary’s role as mother of that same Christ.
” Jesus was not human. “
so Jesus was not human? it’s amazing, that attacks on the Church and the historical, biblical, orthodox Faith always leads to attacks on Jesus Christ Himself.
if Jesus wasn’t human, we are all still dead in our sins and He didn’t really suffer and shed His blood on the Cross.
unbelievable someone that claims to be a Christian could post such heresy.
This is not a false doctrine. Have you read the book of Luke?
“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.”
Now why would the Archangel address Mary in that way?

“Bother Lev” needs to find a Bible and read the Magnificat in the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke.
“Nowhere in the Bible is Mary said to be the mother of God”
I quit reading there.
Call me a ‘Mary-Idol Worshiping Papist’ I don’t care.
But never have I found a love as pure as Mary has given those who call her blessed.
Please read the Bible. The first thing you may notice about Jesus Christ is the fact: HE did NOT walk around the Holy Lands handing out Bibles & saying, ‘Here read this Bible & argue about it.’
Jesus Christ established a Church. You can read many passages in the Bible about the Church that Jesus Christ built. There is a promise that the ‘Gates of Hell’ will never prevail against the Church established by Jesus Christ. I recommend you look for that Church. Out of that Church came the Bible.
Luke 1: 41-43 ‘When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, cried out in a loud voice and said, ‘Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me that the MOTHER of my Lord should come to me?’ In the Christian Church,> JESUS IS LORD.
Good post. Mary is the Earthly mother of Jesus and not of God.
I would like any Catholics to show, in their own translation of the Bible, where Mary or any of their “saints” can be prayed to.
I believe we are hearing the sound of crickets now...
Do mothers give birth to natures or to persons?
Herein lies the Christological error of the author, the same error the council corrected - among others.
Underneath every error about Mary is an error about Christ. This article is but another example.

I think this was way above the author’s paygrade. Not yours, his.
Well, I guess John just went into the trash can along with those portions of the OT the heretics don't like.
Joh 19:26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
Joh 19:27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
Let the usual chorus of, "that's what Scripture says, but that's not what it means", begin because without revising, reinterpreting, misinterpreting, and ignoring, Scripture you cannot deny that Mary was the Mother of God without denying that Jesus Christ is God.
Of course, people who routinely call Jesus Christ a liar probably don't believe Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament is God anyway, they much prefer their Jesus Christ 2.0. Their version of Christ will gain control of the world by political and military means while they watch from the peanut gallery after snatching away all those who bought into the The Rapture of The Snowflakes Doctrine. At least that's what the "Sola Yourselfa" Snowflake Sect teach after deciphering their Jesus Christ 2.0 anti-Christ doctrine with their decoder rings and instructions from the books authored by the False Messiah Millionaires they follow. So, Pharisee canon, Pharisee view of both Christ and their Jesus Christ 2.0 Messiah which are not one and the same.
