“So Jesus got is divine nature from Mary?”

Is that what I said? Nope.

“In the Dogma of the Trinity the Catholic Church says this.
“There is therefore nothing created, nothing subject to another in the Trinity”

Actually, you’re apparently quoting Gregory Thaumaturgus and for some reason you’re missing 43 words from the quote. Why would you leave out 43 words from a quote?

Here is the full quote as it appears in the old Catholic Encyclopedia:

The first creed in which it appears is that of Origen’s pupil, Gregory Thaumaturgus. In his Ekthesis tes pisteos composed between 260 and 270, he writes:

There is therefore nothing created, nothing subject to another in the Trinity: nor is there anything that has been added as though it once had not existed, but had entered afterwards: therefore the Father has never been without the Son, nor the Son without the Spirit: and this same Trinity is immutable and unalterable forever (P.G., X, 986).

So what’s your point?

“If Jesus was not fully human but indeed God and therefore Mary the mother of God.”

Jesus was fully human (except for sin). Why would you ever suggest that the incarnation of Jesus was a fraud?

“Who did Jesus pray to as superior?”

Jesus prayed to the Father for He was still His Father even though both are Divine. Do you not know this? Matthew 11:25-26; Luke 22:41-44; Luke 23:34; John 11:41-42; John 12:27-28; John 17:1-26; Hebrews 5:7.

So was Jesus human nature divine?
