Of course, our mothers and fathers pro-create our bodies and do not pro-create our souls. Mary’s body was involved in the pro-creation of the body of Jesus. His human soul was a special creation, just like ours, and his Divine Person existed eternally.
Mary was/is the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God.
Thus, it makes perfect sense to call Mary “the mother of God.” She is the mother of a person who is God the Son. A person who is God the Son is her son. She is the mother of God the Son. She is the mother of God.
If Mary is the mother of Jesus, it is self-evident that Mary is the mother of God.
The only conceivable reason anyone would refuse to call Mary the mother of God is that that person is filled with hate for Mary. Where that hate came from I do not know, although propaganda seems a likely candidate.
Really??? That's the ONLY conceivable reason? Is it in the realm of possibility that Mary can be loved, honored and respected without her having the title "Mother of God"? Can you understand that all this discussion and argument isn't about hatred for Mary but a love for Christ and the truth? All I see that this disagreement is causing is contention and hatred FOR fellow Christians. Mary is on the sideline...and I don't think she would like seeing herself being used in such a way.
Why the hate? As I pointed out, a Moslem poster who opposes you would be filled with hate for the Mother of God.
No, it makes it blasphemy.
She is not God and God has no mother. God is eternal and self-existent.
She is the mother of a person who is God the Son.
She is mother of a person born who is called the Son of God.
A person who is God the Son is her son. She is the mother of God the Son.
She is mother of God the Son Incarnate, which is not the same as being mother of the Second person of the Trinity, the mother of His divinity as another Catholic poster claimed.
She is the mother of God.
Nope. God has no mother.
Jesus did.
There's that projection thing again.
It's a shame that Catholics can't understand love for the truth.
The only thing that is hated is the lies propagated by Catholicism that lead people away from the Truth of God's word.
You also have yet to prove that anyone *hates* Mary. Refusing to call her the fabricated name based on faulty logic that the Catholic church has assigned her is not *hating* anyone no matter how much someone wants to believe it.
If the best argument for calling her *mother of God* Catholics have is to falsely accuse others of *hate* then they have a pretty weak case.
The reason we don't call Mary the mother of God is because the Holy Spirit didn't call her mother of God.
