"I am amazed that there are some who are entirely in doubt as to whether the holy Virgin should be called Theotokos or not......

For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how is the holy Virgin who gave Him birth, not Theotokos?

Interesting that you would use that reasoning.....That's the very same question Nimrod's wife, Semiramis, reasoned to support her position after she declared herself.. 'Mother of God'... for bearing her son Tammuz..... who became a Deity in the false religion she established in Babylon.

I should correct you here. It's not the same reasoning.

Cyril's reasoning is:

If A is the mother of B, and B is God, therefore A is the mother of God.

The reasoning you cite is:

If A is the mother of B and B is God, therefore A is God.

Quite different, and quite wrong in the orthodox view of the Incarnation, quite at odds with the fundamental creeds and teaching of the Church, and not at all the same reasoning.
