We weren’t talking about Augustine.

I pointed out that “The idea of Mary being the Mother of God-Jesus is not just a “Catholic idea” - that is the belief of the Assyrian Church (the ancient church of the East), of the Copts, the Ethiopians, the Armenian Church, the Eastern Orthodox etc.”

Do you agree with that? Mary as the mother of God Jesus is not just a “Catholic idea”

You mentioned this idea came from the Eastern church. I agreed.

That raises the question, what is she the mother of? Do you believe Mary was the Mother of God in His deity, humanity, or both? What precisely are you saying when you say Mary as the mother of God Jesus? Is she the mother of the eternal God?
