>>This is why I ask: “Is ‘that holy thing which shall be born of’ Mary and ‘shall be called the Son of God’ the same God that is the second person of the Trinity.<<

That is a deceptive question.


I do not mean to be deceptive. But I now see where we are focusing on two different things. You on conceiving and I on giving birth.

I will concede your point on conceiving. But Mary did give birth to the second person of the Trinity in Christ Jesus. And Mary raised the second person of the Trinity in Jesus. These are both attributes of a mother. So how can it be said that Mary is not the mother of the second person of the Trinity?

Again, any teachings you can share with me that explains this would be appreciated.

I’ll simply leave you now to the torment of trying to figure that out.

No!!!

That statement is a sophistry. The second person of the trinity, the Logos, existed eternally, thus long before she gave birth to the human boy that his spirit had entered.

The desire for a sinful human to be the parent of God is as vile as any human thought can possibly be.
