This seems kind of weird considering how moslems treat their own women.

Perhaps this movement is led by Muslim women (??)

Late at night and I have not fully developed the following thought. Still, I will run this up the flagpole.

Creed of Chalcedon summarized the biblical teaching on the Incarnation.

1. Jesus has two natures — He is God and man.
2. Each nature is full and complete — He is fully God and fully man.
3. Each nature remains distinct.
4. Christ is only one Person.
5. Things that are true of only one nature are nonetheless true of the Person of Christ.

Jesus wept. Human emotion.

What other human emotion would Jesus display? I assume that all of us have had a mother in our lives. Let us say that 50% of us had a loving and nurturing mother. A mother who bathed us, changed our diapers, and feed us from her breast.

When we think about our loving and nurturing mother, the first thing that springs into our mind, is that our mother is just an incubator and I have no attachment to my mother. I do not want to feel the caress of my mother’s hand across my face, whether I am 5 years old or 30 years old, because my mother is just an incubator. As my death approaches and I see my mother weep as she gazes upon my torn body, I only think of my mother as an incubator. No bonding with my mother, because my mother is just an incubator.

You know what? I can see how it is easy for some to think about the Mother of God as just an incubator, when a person does not really see Jesus as fully God and fully man.
