Yeah, he is of God, we know that. But he was born of Mary ... you can't deny that.

Sure we can. He was born of God; the Scriptures say repeatedly that He was made of a woman.

I think you're digging a little bit to say that verse is "ant-Mary."

Anti-Marian doctrine, actually. Nothing against Mary, of course (just those who elevate her).

Your point before was so subtle that I missed it. This is very good! Infact it's hugh.

Ok, Bible scholars. Answer me these questions.

Define "born of" versus the idea of "made of." Please use the Bible as your promary source, as you know the dictionary lies.

In doing so, explain why and how the phrase "born of" is used to indicate genetic inferitance and not the process of expelling a child from one's womb.

Furthermore, assuming your bizarre premise, what does it mean for Jesus to be "made of a woman"?
