She contributed to the Savior His humanity not His divinity.

To which did she give birth?

.
Obviously his humanity; Mary had no divinity to bestow on him.

Not only His divinity as implied by the title *Mother of God*.

That is the question.

At what point was the Divine united with the human? Because if it happened at conception, which is what all Christians believe, then for as long as Jesus grew in her womb, Mary held God, physically within her own body.

But, hey, she was just a woman who served a purpose.

Some protestants can’t even say that Jesus loves her.

Mind boggling.

The Blessed Mother gave birth to Jesus who was both God and Man in the hypostatic union. Mary contributed the human nature and the Holy Spirit’s power made it happen. This happened at conception so Jesus was both God and man from the beginning of his incarnation. He was always the divine second person of the Trinity, just not incarnate yet.
