The Son of God was always with the Father from eternity

Correct.

was not created or given a personality by Mary

He was not created by Mary. In fact no child is created by his mother, but rather by God. Jesus was given certain personal aspects by Mary, as any child receives his personality partly from his mother. Jesus certainly did not receive His divinity from Mary, for Mary could not give what she did not possess.

Then you should not have said that she was the mother of a “Divine person,” or made the point that she is not the mother of the Trinity because she was not the mother of the Father and Holy Spirit (though your religion does call her the “spouse” of the Father) since to say so makes her the mother of the eternal Son of God, and not rather the human body of the Son of God. To say that she was the mother of both His divinity and humanity is to make the second member of the trinity a created being. This is, truly, a heresy for you to speak, though no doubt caused by your confused language.

Furthermore, this nonsense about Mary giving birth to a “dead body” or the like. It is quite clear that Mary did not create the Word of God, who was rather incarnated in flesh, and yet always existed and is only the “son of Mary” in his human nature, not His divine, as you concede.

Saying very much the same thing myself to a papist here, led to the retort from that one;

How "protestant" of you. Or are you a closeted Nestorian perhaps?

I make that statement, and pose the question following to highlight some of the sort or argumentation Protestants have been repeatedly bashed in the face with, on this forum.
