Wrong in trying to make the distinction between calling Mary the mother of Jesus and calling her the mother of God.

We would have to go all the way back to the beginning of the conversation and follow through to see where the dialogue began and how it has gotten here.

There is a difference between the person that is God the Father and the person that is God the Son, though how that is possible is not spelled out in Scripture.

That is what I have been trying to convey. Apparently very very badly.

The God of the Jews, as they understood Him to be was not one God in three persons, so when I say that Scripture does not call Jesus God, it is this God that I am referring to.

It has been spelled out many times on this thread and others like it that Catholics do not believe that Mary is the mother of the God the Father or of the Holy Spirit.

She is the mother of Jesus who is God and that is why she is called the mother of God.

I suppose my ability to state what I am trying to impart is seriously flawed, but I do not take back the theology I was trying to explain.

Next time it comes up; please be a bit more specific.

We will avoid a lot of wasted time if you do.
