**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.

**3.Therefore Yeshua/Jesus is Immanuel/Emmanuel, Yeshua/Jesus is “God with us,” and Mary/Miriam is the mother of “God with us.”**

Mary is the mother of the Son of God, not God the Son. Mary made no divine contribution to the Godhead. Even the Son pointed out his Father as source of all things divine, with his many testimonies in the Gospels. Hebrews 1:4 says that he even inherited his name (which Jesus Christ claimed in John 5:43; “I am come in my Father’s name”).

Elizabeth’s testimony, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, was that of Mary being made the “mother of my Lord”. The Son was made Lord by the Father dwelling him:

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:36

**4.It is in the scriptures, which one needs believe of his own volition, cooperating with the grace of God.**

That is why I encouraged you to believe the Son’s words in John chapter 14. For some brevity, start with verse 6. Look at what he says in verse 7:

“If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye KNOW him, and have SEEN him.”

Philip still didn’t understand, and (like a Trinitarian, looking for a separate image of the Father) asked, “Shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.”

To which Jesus replied, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known ME, Philip? he that hath SEEN me hath SEEN the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou NOT that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me? the words that I speak unto you I speak NOT of myself: but the Father that dwelleth IN me, HE doeth the works.”

I ask you: Where is the Father NOT present?
