How so?

I had said that Mary was mother of Jesus's earthly Incarnation. I used the word "only" also, to indicate she was not his own "heavenly" mother so to speak.

Perhaps you are confusing my statement with those persons who attempt to argue that Mary was mother only of His physical body?

Being mother to only His earthly Incarnation does not equal that she was not mother of the union of Christ's humanity and divinity in one hypostasis, or individual existence.

Which leaves this which you wrote;

apply not to me here in the least, but now to your own comment/reply.

I have no disagreement with that, nor did I express the slightest thing which could lead anyone to logically assume that I had...

Either you truly do not understand what I was saying, or else obviously you are trying to put words into my mouth.

Good.

I'm about fed up with Marionist irrationality/nonsense.

So that could as well (and more accurately, according to Scripture) result in hailing Mary as Christ Bearer, rather than "Mother of God", for the latter requires unspoken assumption that this be restricted to having born the Christ, and herself as created being having not been "Mother of God" as in mother of the Trinity.

If there is to be needful, additional qualifying statement as to Christ's nature, the indivisible union of Christ's own humanity and divinity is less problematically expressed by referring to Mary as mother of Jesus Christ, and leaving it at that.

Although Mary did give birth (in earthly sense) to the "Hypostatic Union", that in no way equates with "Mary" now later "giving birth" and being mother to anyone else.

Alright yes you are right that was my error.

Alright, you are right here too, I do not understand what you were saying previously. It was a late night for me yesterday and I still remain tired.

The last word remains yours. I do not concede anything further, as my silence will now indicate, nor do I wish to debate you further. So the last word of all things left unresponded by me remains yours.
