If you believe that Jesus Christ was both human and divine, yes.

If you believe God is self-existent (which he is), no.

**If you believe that Jesus Christ was both human**

...the part that Mary had something to do with.....

**and divine**

...the part that Mary had absolutely nothing to do with.

The Son of God declared that EVERY single divine quality he displayed was his Father that dwells in him. God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:24,25), and not a man; but dwells in Christ reconciling the world unto himself (2Cor. 5:19).

Further proof: Neither Jesus Christ, nor his apostles and writers of the NT, EVER used the phrase “God the Son”.

Isn't Orthodox Christianity split on this matter? With Eastern going one way and Oriental the other?
