You still won’t identify the denomination, sect, or cult you learned this from. I proved only from the Scriptures that Miriam/Mary is the mother of Emmanuel, which the Spirit of God interprets as “God with us” and still you still you deny the clear inspired Scripture means what it says.

It doesn't say what you want it to say...And that's why you have to compare scripture with scripture to avoid creating a false doctrine out of a single verse...

God (Jesus of Creation) was manifest in the flesh...Jesus (the Creator, the Divine Nature) was not created in Mary's womb...

Only the body (the human flesh) of Jesus was created in Mary's womb...The divine nature came from the Holy Spirit only and was united with the human nature of Jesus...

It is a spiritual operation combined with a human/natural operation...

When this is understood, one can understand the phraseology in the scriptures..."Mary, mother of Jesus"...Never "Mary, mother of God...

Iscool, you may be unfamiliar with the history of Theotokos (Mother of God) vs. Christokos (Mother of Christ). If you are, read up on the differences here:
