Nothing is good enough for Catholics, is it?

Not when you're being imprecise about the nature of the Divinity, repeatedly.

Well, then, since you don’t appear to think that saying that going to the Father through Jesus is the same thing as going to the Father through the Son, then perhaps it’s YOU who doesn’t think that Jesus is the Son.

I can’t believe that you think that saying going through the Son is more precise than going through Jesus.

At least Jesus is a specific name that tells us WHO we have to go to the Father through, as opposed to the generic term *son*.

Reading comprehension lessons are your friend.

Just because I don't use Catholic Approved Terminology does not mean I am being imprecise about anything. Matter of fact, the term *mother of God* is more imprecise than the term *mother of Jesus*.

But if you're going to go there, then by your reasoning and accusations, then the Holy Spirit was imprecise in the nature of Divinity.

*HE* is the one who assigned the title of *mother of Jesus* to Mary. The Catholic church for some reason sought to change that and (I'm guessing from what I've heard) improve on it.

What chutzpah!

Here, what the Holy Spirit deigns to call Mary.

John 2:1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

John 2:3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

NOWHERE in Scripture is Mary ever referred to as the mother of God.

If I'm wrong, so is the Holy Spirit, John, and Luke.

Are you going to go and tell God that He did an inadequate job when He called Mary *mother of Jesus*????

Good luck with that.
