And that confusion is precisely why these catholic apologists keep trying to force all of us to conform to the specious title catholiciism has draped upon the Mother of Jesus.
The problem underlying all these notions is when the Diety of The Trinity entered Jesus. It should surprise no one that the same religion which claims its priests bring Jesus Christ down from Heaven at EVERY MASS, to be sacrificed continually on the catholic altar and eaten by the adherents to that religion, eating the body, blood, soul, and DIVINITY of Jesus in every mass their earthy priests conduct. It matters not a whit to these adherent apologists that the Bible gives not one verse to tell us when God came to occupy the body He prepared for His advent to be God with us.
We have clear passages which tell us Jesus IS God with us, such as the teaching Jesus gave to the disciples in John 14, and specifically to Philip. But we have not one verse which tells us when The God of the Universe took up residence in the body He prepared for Himself in Mary's willing womb. Yet these of this catholic religion insist Mary, a created being is 'the mother of God, as if from the first moment, with the body God prepared for Himself to occupy, Mary was superior to one third of the Trinity because she was gestating Jesus in her womb. If she were the Mother of God, she would be gestating all three of the ONE GOD, but she was not. She was gestating the body of her son Jesus, who we know later as The Son of God, as spoken BY GOD when He inspired the writing of 'Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee ... and that wasn't said by the Angel when the Angel visited Mary and she conceived in her womb.
Mary was superior to one third of the Trinity because she was gestating Jesus in her womb.
Wow, talk about confusion! Where ever did you get the idea that Mary is superior to God or that the Trinity could be split into thirds? Mary is not superior to any part of the Trinity. Even when Jesus was in her womb, He was still her God. And He was wholly God, not one third of the Trinity. You do believe that Jesus is God, whole and entire, don’t you?
