What is inside Jesus that is not flesh and blood is divine.

Congratulations! You have just fallen into the heresy of Apollinarianism. Namely: You have asserted that the Divine Person takes the place of a human soul in Christ.

You have just helped to prove my point: The more determined people are to deny Mary the title "Mother of God" the more they fall into basic Christological heresies. They deny that Jesus is ONE PERSON. They deny (as you just did) that Jesus has a human soul. They deny that the flesh of Jesus came from Mary's body.

All of these heresies come from hatred of Mary, which will not accord to her the simple title "Mother of God."

You say that Scripture doesn't call Mary the "mother of God."

True. Scripture does not use the phrase "mother of God."

But Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of Jesus. And Scripture tells us that Jesus is God. Therefore, Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of God.

HaHa...Now that's a new one on me...Anything you guys don't have a name for???

Namely: You have asserted that the Divine Person takes the place of a human soul in Christ.

What makes you think a soul is human???

If you can, define what a divine nature is...

They deny that Jesus is ONE PERSON. They deny (as you just did) that Jesus has a human soul. They deny that the flesh of Jesus came from Mary's body.

Don't be making more stuff up...I just posted that Mary is the mother of Jesus' flesh...Don't you read those posts???

I have never denied that Jesus is one person...Of course he's one person...He's also the Trinity...Because Jesus is God and God is the Trinity...

But Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of Jesus. And Scripture tells us that Jesus is God. Therefore, Scripture tells us that Mary is the mother of God.

Nope...Human logic doesn't supercede the wisdom of God...

good points. Also, note that your mother didn’t create you, my mother didn’t create me and Jesus’ mother didn’t create him. These marvelous women bore their children — their children came from God and in Jesus’ case, WAS/IS God
