[Zuriel]

**There is one holy catholic apostolic church in actual recorded history.**

The true, doctrinally correct church in the NT epistles doesn’t use the phrase, God the Son. It’s not there.

**And did preserve;**

God uses all sorts of means to preserve his word. Egypt preserved Israel though the famine. Ravens preserved Elijah through another famine. Egypt preserved the child Jesus from Herod.

**Then there is no need for you to teach any doctrine, since it is already provided by God.**

Then why do you change it with your unscriptural phrases?

Your adjusting of Mary’s position:

**Miriam/Mary as the Mother of “God with us” is certainly in the scriptures.**

........is classic word play. Do you not believe that the Father is in Christ, giving him the divine words and doing the divine works, and giving him absolute power? That’s how the invisible God appeared to man in these last days (Heb. 1:1,2). Or do you not believe John chapter 14?

**What the Apostle to the Gentiles taught was true, whether you search the scriptures daily to see if you agree with him or not.**

Paul never used the phrase, God the Son, and as far as I recall never even mentioned the name of Mary. Nothing personal, but I trust Paul’s understanding of the Godhead MUCH more than I trust your organization’s opinion on the subject.

**Miriam/Mary as the Mother of “God with us” is certainly in the scriptures.**

........is classic word play

1. Isaiah prophesied in the name of the LORD that a virgin would bear a son, Immanuel.
2. The Gospel proclaims Miriam/Mary bore this son, Yeshua/Jesus by specifically referring to the aforementioned prophecy and explicitly translating the Hebrew Immanuel as "God with us."
3. Therefore Yeshua/Jesus is Immanuel/Emmanuel, Yeshua/Jesus is "God with us," and Mary/Miriam is the mother of "God with us."
4. It is in the scriptures, which one needs believe of his own volition, cooperating with the grace of God.
