Neither did you, metmom, bestow existence on your childre. You bore them, but God created them The mother bears a child, carries the child through 9 months and births the child. The mother does not create the child, nor bestow the soul on the child Mary bore Jesus Christ -- who is and was 100% man and 100% God, both natures utterly intertwined, not separate. She bore this man-god. She bore her creator.

Your example breaks down because Metmom gave birth to children that DID NOT EXIST before they were conceived in her womb. Jesus, the Son of God, preexisted His incarnation from eternity. Mary gave birth to the INCARNATE Son of God, God with us - His taking on human flesh. Calling her the "Mother" of God implies she preexisted Him just as Metmom preexisted her children. When you have to add all these disclaimers and clarifications to a term, you nullify the benefit of the adoption of the term.

To 666? It's time to give up on this 'mother of GOD' thing that possesses the Catholics.

It is too well imbedded.

The lurkers here (poor devils!) have gotten the message.

Time to move on...
