Did you miss that, dismiss that, Allagorize that, or simply ignore that?


None of the above. I believe that, even though the words “Jesus is God” appears nowhere in Scripture.

In the same way, the following is why I believe Mary is the “Mother of God” even though those words appear nowhere in Scripture.

Luke 1:28-35 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

And still the Holy Spirit did not use the words “mother of God”. The term “mother of God” is of HUMAN construct based on HUMAN logic.
