You wrote and it astonished me, "God created all of us; He could not possibly become one of us" Are you unable to see how you have constructed a straw man so you can topple it? is that the best reasoning you are capable of? ... If so, we really will never be able to have a coherent conversation. Do you know what a 'straw man' is?
I think you just hit a thousand!

There’s more but that’s good for now.
Once again you appear to purposely ‘missed the point’.

I truly do not know what astonished you about my statement. It is not on purpose, I just don’t know what you thought I meant.
It was not my intent to construct a straw man. The idea that God would become one of us was incomprehensible to the Jews, even though the prophets foretold that this would come to be. When Jesus tried to tell them this, they said He blasphemed. In fact, when Jesus said to them, “Before Abraham came to be, I Am,” they tried to kill him. And they eventually did put Him to death because they did not believe He was God. But we as Christians do believe that Jesus is God. Or at least I think you believe this.
I believe that when Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit, God entered the womb of Mary in the person of Jesus. I believe that when that holy thing which shall be called the Son of God was born of Mary, Mary gave birth to God in the person of Jesus. Based on the definition of mother that you told me to look up and write down (a mother is a woman in relation to a child to whom she has given birth), this birth established a maternal relationship between Mary and God in the person of Jesus.
Do you believe God entered the womb of Mary when she conceived Jesus?
Do you believe that Mary gave birth to God when Jesus was born?
