So then, you're saying that God has flesh?
If being the mother of Jesus flesh makes her the mother of God, then you just backed yourself into a corner that you cannot get out of.
You have effectively said that God has a flesh body and came into existence when Mary conceived Jesus and that the body of flesh she gave birth to IS God.
That corner is quite full.
Well, yes! SHOCK!!! SHOCK!!!
Have you ever read the first chapter of the Gospel of John?
The Word, God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us!
Since Jesus is God, and Mary is his mother, she is called the Mother of God. In order to deny that Mary is the mother of God, you have to be able to believe that a woman can have a son who is God without being the mother of God. Or, you have to simply deny that the son of Mary is God. Or, you have to deny that Mary ever had a son.
Can a woman have a son who is a fireman without being the mother of a fireman?
If I said “Trains come from tunnels!” I’d have a one-sided (incomplete) and incorrect view of the origin of trains.
So it is with the good Father Arthur.
