Maybe I haven't totally followed her entire message, but she is saying to me that if Mary is the source of Jesus' humanity that He would be female. If this is the denial of Mary's true motherhood of Jesus, that I am questioning it.

Well we each have read Cindy's words with our own particular bias. Mine that she made it clear we know next to nothing. God will does as He wills. Your's that her carefully nuanced questioing was a statement meant to question the purity of Mary.

We'll have to wait for Cindy to straighten us out. (I know I'm right.)

This is the point. We do not know how God became Incarnate, but we do know that Mary was the actual biological mother of Jesus. That this is denied by folks was quite a shock to me.

Not the "purity" of Mary, but her maternity of Jesus. If Mary is not the actual mother of Jesus, we have vastly different conceptions of the event.

Yes, Cindy can try to straighten out what she intended.
