Its an ignorant question.
The son of God is an eternal being. what Mary bore was his connection to humanity, not his eternal divinity.
That’s the trouble with fallible oral traditions; they create this kind of foolishness. Stick with the word of God, not men’s traditions.
That may be your opinion, but it seems to be a question that people are avoiding to give a straight answer.
what Mary bore was his connection to humanity, not his eternal divinity.
What Mary bore was a child. The question is whether the child in her womb was only human or was he also divine.
Did Mary give birth to only a human child, or was this child also divine at the time of His birth? Note that I am asking about the birth, not the conception.
Are you capable of giving a straight answer?
