Mary became pregnant...She conceived a baby...The question is: what did Mary contribute to the conception of THAT baby, or any baby???
The bible says we all have a body, a soul, and a spirit...
The question is: how much of your existance did your mother contribute to your conception...
Actually, the question we are dealing with here is what is the relationship between the persons. What is the relationship between Mary and the baby she conceived? What is the relationship between the woman who contributed to my conception and myself? You said it yourself. She is my mother. Not to just the part of me that came from her, but to my whole person, body, soul, and spirit. This does not mean my soul belongs to my mother, it belongs to God. I am nevertheless obligated to observe the commandment to obey my mother. The same is true with Mary and the baby she conceived. She was mother to His whole person, body, soul, and spirit. The mother of Jesus in His humanity and divinity, the mother of God incarnate. But just as my soul belongs to God, so does Mary’s soul belong to God. Even so, as shown in Luke 2:51, Jesus in his humanity and divinity observed the commandment to be obedient to His mother.
Mary was the mother to Jesus' human body which contained Jesus' soul and spirit...She was not the mother of his divinity...
If Mary was the mother of God, that would make her God's mother...And that is flat out ridiculous...God's divinity wasn't even manifest in Jesus til he was 30 years old...
Other than recognizing that Mary was blessed because God chose her to be the mother of Jesus there's not a single thing in the scriptures that leads us to believe that Mary had any role in the ministry of Jesus other than providing a body for Jesus to grow in and be born from...
You guys have turned Mary into a goddes which is proven by all the statues you have made of her...You make 'altars' to this goddess and place her statues on top of the altars and bow down and worship (pray to) her...
Mary is not God's mother...
