OH, KNOCK IT OFF!

This ridiculous heretic hunting that FRomans indulge themselves in is sickening.

Before running around and accusing people of Arianism, let's take a look at what the "Arian" controversy was about. How about HERE for starters----

Arianism a Christian heresy first proposed early in the 4th century by the Alexandrian presbyter Arius. It affirmed that Christ is not truly divine but a created being. Arius’ basic premise was the uniqueness of God, who is alone self-existent and immutable; the Son, who is not self-existent, cannot be God. Because the Godhead is unique, it cannot be shared or communicated, so the Son cannot be God. Because the Godhead is immutable, the Son, who is mutable, being represented in the Gospels as subject to growth and change, cannot be God. The Son must, therefore, be deemed a creature who has been called into existence out of nothing and has had a beginning. Moreover, the Son can have no direct knowledge of the Father since the Son is finite and of a different order of existence.

No did metmom say anything of the sort? YES or NO?

Answer the question, or shut up!

No! What metmom did was point out that renaming Mary as *mother of God* LEADS to heresy.

It leads to either heresy that God is a created being, or that Mary is deity. We’ve already had one Catholic poster upthread state that Mary we the mother of BOTH of Jesus’ natures.

It’s really too bad that they can’t see the problems messing with Scripture causes. The Holy Spirit referred to Mary as *mother of Jesus* for a reason, and that reason seems to escape Catholics in their indoctrination about Mary.
