Thank you again. David asks all the questions I have had for a long time. Father Theodore anticipates and answers follow up questions I have. This podcast has been an amazing resource for my spiritual growth. I look forward to your next one.
Why is there very little mentioned about St. Miriam in canonical Scripture? Because protestants are programmed "sola scriptura", it's very difficult for them to go outside of Scripture and go to her for anything. I was raised protestant but am Coptic Orthodox since 2000 (Orthodox since 1998) and it was a bit hard for me to get used to praying to our Holy Mother asking her intercession.
Theotokos actually means "God-bearer", not literally "Mother of God". However, because she gave birth to God the Son, we call her Mother of God. Even the Assyrian Church of the East, often accused of being Nestorian, has no problem calling her Theotokos. Mar Mari Immanuel makes that clear.
