Mary is the mother to the earthly side of Jesus.
You don't say Mary is the mother of God; otherwise, you make Mary as coming before God the Father in heaven. You are to say Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Mary gave birth to Jesus theanthropos.

Jesus Christ was born !! Begotten - You are wrong as usual, jamie
Christ became flesh and was born of Mary. Not as God but as one of us (human).
Are you saying the Catholics are right by saying Mary is the mother of God?
We are not to say Mary is the the mother of God.
Christ is God and means God.
Christ became flesh and was born of Mary. Not as God but as one of us (human).
Christ is GOD, indeed, however, Christ means Messiah/anointed.
The first King of Israel was Messiah/Christ.
His name was Saul.
He was not GOD.
:kookoo:Mary is not the Mother of God. Mary is the Mother of the human side of Jesus.
The argument regarding 'theotokos' grew out of the argument concerning Christ's Deity.
At the time that the Lord Jesus was born, was He GOD?
If so, then Mary gave birth to GOD in the flesh, thus she was the 'godbearer'.
Those who affirm the 'theotokos' are not claiming that Mary was the originator of GOD. That shows a misunderstanding of what the doctrine of the Theotokos affirms.
Mary bore GOD in the flesh. His flesh began in Mary, not His Deity.
The argument took place before the RCC, as we know it, was formed.
The argument was a concern of the entire Christian community as was Nicea and Chalcedon.
When you say, "We are not to say Mary is the the mother of God", by whose authority are you stating this?
Is this some authoritative decree coming down from the throne of the poster GT?
I have no idea how you think you have disproved anything that I said.
:kookoo:
Figures.
You want to demean me and raise up the RCC dead men?
The Catholics calling Mary the mother of God makes Mary before God and Jesus.
That is why the Catholics tell us to pray to Mary instead of Jesus.
Maybe you should think about it some more.
:kookoo:
Perhaps you should study history prior to the RCC.
Zip....right over you head and your pride hinders your learning anything.
