Thank you for shedding light on the divorced and Joseph's role and instincts to preserve and protect life. ❤ let go and let God . MARY was the chosen vessel of God to complete the human presence of the trinity.
It is wonderful to hear you and see your enthusiasm as you teach. I think your explanation of virginity as pure of heart is the intimate truth and most profound mystery for women and men who reach an age of maturity where they go into marriage or priesthood withe Beatitudes written on their hearts. I think that we have a long way to go in this teaching.
The Council of Ephesus proclaimed in 431 that Mary truly became the Mother of God. To many Christians, however, Mary can not be the mother of God for God has no beginning and no end. So to those who objected this proclamation, I have these to share: First, Jn 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” Here, Christians should ask these two questions: 1. How did God give his only Son to the world? 2. Did God give the world his only Son as one whole, undivided person, or did God give the world only a portion of his only Son? To question #1, God gave his only Son to the world through Mary. To question #2, God gave the world his only Son wholly and undivided. So, through Mary, the second person of the Holy Trinity entered this world and became man by taking on human flesh and a human soul in the womb of Mary. For this reason, Jesus is true God and true man. In His person are united both a divine nature and human nature. Mary gave birth to this true God and true man person; she is the Mother of God. To say that Mary gave birth only to the ‘man Jesus’ is to say that God did not give the world his only Son. Second, though the Son of God has no beginning and no end, “for us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit, he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” This means, at some point in time between eternity and eternity, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity comes down from heaven, becomes incarnate of the Virgin Mary and becomes man. This point in time belongs to God, and when it comes, God creates Mary, the handmaid of the Lord, to fulfill his plan. This point in time is the time which St. Paul wrote:Gal 4: 4-5, (4) But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, (5) to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. So Mary did not create the divine person of Jesus, who existed with the Father from all eternity. Rather, when the fullness of time came, the divine person of Jesus came down from heaven, united himself to one egg in Mary’s womb and became man. This man, therefore, must be truly man and truly God. Since Mary gave birth to this truly man and truly God person; she truly is the mother of God. If Mary did not give birth to Jesus who is true God and true man, then who became man? Who became incarnate of the Virgin Mary? If the divine person of Jesus did not unite himself to one egg in Mary’s womb and became man, how did the Word became flesh? Where and how did the incarnation take place? Therefore, those who believed that Mary gave birth only to the man Jesus and the divine Jesus united himself to this man afterward denied the mystery of the incarnation; they believed in possession instead. Third, - Before Mary became pregnant, the angel clearly said to her that the Son she will conceive is the Son of the Most High, not a mere regular man. Lk 1:31,32, (31) Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. (32) He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father,” - While Mary was pregnant, filled with the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth proclaimed that Mary is the mother of God. Lk 1:42, 43, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. (43) And how does this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” - An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Mat 1:20, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. - The night Mary gave birth to Jesus, the angel, again, proclaimed that the child Jesus is our Savior, the Messiah and Lord. Lk 2:10, 11, (10) And the angel said to them, "Be not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people; (11) for today in the city of David a Savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. So to reject Mary as being Mother of God is to deny the truth written in the Gospel according to Lk 1:31-32, 42-43; 2:10-11; and Mat 1:20. To reject Mary as being Mother of God is to deny also that Jesus Christ come in the flesh. To these St. John wrote: 1-Jn 4:2-3, “(2) This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, (3) and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of antichrist, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.” Finally, since it is written that the angel proclaimed that the child born of the Virgin Mary is the Son of the Most High; he is the Messiah, our Savior and our Lord. It is also written that Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and proclaimed that Mary is the Mother of God; by proclaiming that Mary truly become the Mother of God, the Catholic Church did no more than reaffirming what was already written in the Bible.
Does the Bible say Mary is the mother of God? Uh, NO!! At Luke 1:31, 35, the angel says to Mary: "Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God." So, was Mary the mother of God? No. Instead, she was to become the mother of the Son of God.
Scripture: Lk 1:43 Filled with the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth exclaims, “Who am I that the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come to me?” Theology and Logic: Please read this very very slowly until it sinks in… Premise 1: Jesus is God. Premise 2: Mary is the Mother of Jesus ---- Conclusion: Mary is the Mother of God. She is not Mother of the Father, nor the Holy Spirit, but the Son.
@@John-iq2zt Mary didn't even know who her future child would be before the conversation she had with an angel. And who did that angel say Mary's child would be? God? Uh, no. As the angel said to Mary: "Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God." (Luke 1:31, 35b) Did you get that, John? The angel clearly told Mary that her Son would be the Son of God, not God himself. Catholics have been taught to believe the unscriptural teaching of the trinity. And, according to the trinity teaching, the Father, Son, and holy spirit make up the same "one Lord." As the Catholic Athanasian Creed says: "[The Father, Son, and holy spirit] *ARE ONE LORD.* So, if it takes three persons to make one Lord, then Mary was the mother of a trinity, not just of Jesus. Now, how ridiculous is that?
No he explains this in error. 5 errors when explaining this I noticed. 1. Need explain that the Person's of the Divine Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). 2. Need to use scripture for the explanation. 3. The RCC replaces or counterfeits Persons within the Trinity. 4. Never used the word "flesh" 5. mother of God is an open ended title Jesus possessed 2 natures in a human body when he came to earth. I will explain starting with the Divine Person and Nature. Explaining the Divine Person, Spiritual Birth and Nature of Jesus Why Mary never gave birth to The Divine Person along with the Divine Nature of Jesus. Reason why, the Son (Jesus) was Begot of the Father within the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and is the only begotten of the Father. John writes in John 1:14 " And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." >>>>>>>Here Scripture says the "Word", who is Jesus the Son became flesh is the only begotten of the Father. Jesus says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus says in John 10:30 "I and My Father are one.” John 1:14 , 3:16, and John 10:30 clearly states the Jesus was begot with in the Trinity, specifically the Father. This verses clearly state Jesus is a Divine Person and Divine in Nature. The Divine Person and Divine Nature of Jesus cannot be separated, they both go hand in hand and only exist with in the Trinity. Jesus the Divine Person along with the Divine Nature was born before creation. Paul writes in Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." Jesus the Divine Person and Nature was begot of the Father before Mary a created human gave birth to Jesus in the Flesh. Jesus was born or begot before creation ("first born over all creation"), which means He was born or begot in Eternity. Eternity means infinite or unending time. Even life after death is eternal. We know Jesus is a Divine Person with a Divine Nature begot of the Father within the Trinity (Godhead) before creation. Jesus (Son) the Divine Person along with the Divine Nature was also born within the Spiritual realm not the fleshly or humanly world. Remember there are Three Persons within the Trinity or Godhead that have a Divine Nature and have existed in eternity and before creation in the Spiritual realm. Summarizing, Since Jesus was born Divine that simply means that the Divine Person and Nature of Jesus the Son was already Established with in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) or Godhead before creation. Mary cannot birth the Divine Person of Jesus, that belongs to God with in the Trinity before creation. Since the Divine Person and Nature of the Son Jesus is established begot and birth within the Trinity, Now we can look at the fleshly birth of Jesus. Mary contributed the flesh. Jesus says in John 3:5 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." For the Divine Son Jesus to be born in this world He would have to take on flesh and become flesh. Another Point sin had to be put to death in the flesh (Romans 8:10-17) . That is why Jesus came in the flesh and be put to death on the Cross. Luke writes in Hebrews 2:14 " Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil," John writes in John 1:14 " And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 3:16 "God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory." The virgin Mary just gave birth to the flesh of the Jesus NOT the the Divine Person and Nature of Jesus. Mary contributed the flesh so God in Nature and in the Person of Jesus the Son can be manifested in the flesh and be born of the virgin Mary in the flesh. Jesus was born of Mary in the flesh under the Law as well the virgin birth was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14 The Holy Spirit overshadows Mary. Luke writes in Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God." This clearly is mentioning the Divine Person and Nature which is already established in eternity is coming into the sin filled world in flesh by child birth. Mary is going to provide the human flesh for the Divine Person of Jesus the "Son". Only the Power of God thru the Person of the Holy Spirit and the Son can do this divine or supernatural intervention. This is a Miracle. Paul writes in Philippians 2:7" but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men." ESV explains it this way Philippians 2:7 "but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. Jesus of course was and is the Ultimate servant, but also had the same nature and likeness of man. The likeness and nature of man or mankind would include child birth, the 5 senses, eating, sleeping, breathing, communicating, emotional and ect.. He was fully a fleshly Man or to say human in nature. Jesus was 100% a Person of flesh and a nature of flesh as well 100% God in a Person and Nature, fully man and God at the same time. Jesus possessed both man and God. Jesus was God incarnate. Mary did not birth the deity or Divine Person of Jesus the Son like this video says. The Divine Person Jesus always existed (Eternal) that can not be born from a mortal fleshly created human like Mary. The virgin Mary just gave birth to the flesh for the Divine Son of God. God as the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) self exists and cannot be born from a created human like Mary. Jesus was first begot of the Father, and for Jesus to come to earth he had to be born of Flesh. Mary just gave birth to the Flesh of the Divine Person of Jesus. Rome's dogma of Mary and title "mother of God", counterfeits or removes and replaces Persons within the Trinity (Godhead). The perpetual virginity counterfeits the Person of the Father in the Trinity. The RCC claims Mary stayed a virgin her whole life and her only begotten son is Jesus. This belief counterfeits what it says in John 3:16 ""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son". The Father begot the Son or to say the Son was born of the Father. Also that Mary staying a virgin her whole life counterfeits the Son, because Jesus probably stayed a virgin his whole earthly life. Mary did have other children found in Matthew 12:46-47, Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:2-3, John 2:12, Acts 1:14, 1 Cor. 9:4-5, and Gal. 1:19. The title "mother of God" is open ended title and is very misleading. Man should not have given the title "mother of God" and the RCC should not keep imputing that title to Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus. By imputing the title "mother of God" they introduce error. What the council in Ephesus in 431 should have done. is given Mary the title "mother of the God-Man" (Theanthropos). Even "mother of God in the flesh" which would be appropriate. This would separate the Deity and the Humanity and explain the Three persons of God (Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit) or the Godhead and Mary the earthly, human, and fleshly mother of Jesus. With just the title "mother of God" The Roman Catholic Church leaves a false open ended title that makes Mary to be Mother of the God of the Trinity and exalted above the Trinity, which is a huge error and why the Roman Catholic Church gets attacked on this "mother of God" title. With an open ended title "mother of God" other names for Mary crept in as well like Queen of heaven, Perpetual Virgin, Blessed Mother, Mediatrix (co-redemptrix), Benefactress and many more no need to mention.
The only bible text used by catholics to claim that 'mary was the mother of god' is found at Luke 1:43. "The mother of my Lord" Elisabeth exclaimed. They teach that the greek word 'Adonay' was used. ( Only found referring to Almighty God in the OT)..This is false since all the most reliable & earliest MSS use the greek word 'Kurios' ( 'Lord' 'master' 'owner'.) See Luke 19:16 where Jesus himself uses the same greek word to relate the way the returning slaves with minas addressed there master 'Lord'. So under inspiation of Holy spirit Elisabeth recognised that this baby would grow to be her 'Lord & master' Not her God!
By saying using the word Lord as Master, that doesn’t imply that Master necessarily excludes any Divine meaning. Is God also our Master and Lord? Yes. One doesn’t exclude the other. There’s more to that Greek. It can also mean God as well. It depends on the entire context of the Scripture etc. We also use logic. Is Mary the Mother of Jesus? Yes. Is Jesus, God? Yes. So Mary is the Mother of God.
@@John-iq2zt The word 'divine' doesnt not only mean of the Almighty God, the Father, but since Peter says that the 'saints' "Will be partakers of the 'divine nature" ( 2 Peter 1:4) they become "brothers of the Christ" ( Heb 2:11) Therefore If Christ's 'divine nature' means he is God himself, then the saints would also aquire Godship when they receive their heavanly reward, which they dont! So the word 'Divine' literally means 'Of Godlike quality' Greek Theois. It is WRONGLY rendered 'godhead' (a term first coined by John Wycliffe in the 13th century). Thus Mary was indeed the mother of the 'divine' son of God, but NOT the mother of GOD Almighty! Thus we worship only 'God the Father' as Jesus instructed! John 4:23,4
It's a Christian spiritual-gift-grace for all.

Spread this message out Lord.
The Council of Ephesus proclaimed in 431 that Mary truly became the Mother of God. To many Christians, however, Mary can not be the mother of God for God has no beginning and no end. So to those who objected this proclamation, I have these to share:
First, Jn 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”
Here, Christians should ask these two questions:
1. How did God give his only Son to the world?
2. Did God give the world his only Son as one whole, undivided person, or did God give the world only a portion of his only Son?
To question #1, God gave his only Son to the world through Mary. To question #2, God gave the world his only Son wholly and undivided.
So, through Mary, the second person of the Holy Trinity entered this world and became man by taking on human flesh and a human soul in the womb of Mary. For this reason, Jesus is true God and true man. In His person are united both a divine nature and human nature. Mary gave birth to this true God and true man person; she is the Mother of God. To say that Mary gave birth only to the ‘man Jesus’ is to say that God did not give the world his only Son.
Second, though the Son of God has no beginning and no end, “for us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit, he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” This means, at some point in time between eternity and eternity, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity comes down from heaven, becomes incarnate of the Virgin Mary and becomes man. This point in time belongs to God, and when it comes, God creates Mary, the handmaid of the Lord, to fulfill his plan. This point in time is the time which St. Paul wrote:Gal 4: 4-5, (4) But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, (5) to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. So Mary did not create the divine person of Jesus, who existed with the Father from all eternity. Rather, when the fullness of time came, the divine person of Jesus came down from heaven, united himself to one egg in Mary’s womb and became man. This man, therefore, must be truly man and truly God. Since Mary gave birth to this truly man and truly God person; she truly is the mother of God.
If Mary did not give birth to Jesus who is true God and true man, then who became man? Who became incarnate of the Virgin Mary? If the divine person of Jesus did not unite himself to one egg in Mary’s womb and became man, how did the Word became flesh? Where and how did the incarnation take place? Therefore, those who believed that Mary gave birth only to the man Jesus and the divine Jesus united himself to this man afterward denied the mystery of the incarnation; they believed in possession instead.
Third,
- Before Mary became pregnant, the angel clearly said to her that the Son she will conceive is the Son of the Most High, not a mere regular man. Lk 1:31,32, (31) Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. (32) He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father,”
- While Mary was pregnant, filled with the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth proclaimed that Mary is the mother of God. Lk 1:42, 43, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. (43) And how does this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
- An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Mat 1:20, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
- The night Mary gave birth to Jesus, the angel, again, proclaimed that the child Jesus is our Savior, the Messiah and Lord. Lk 2:10, 11, (10) And the angel said to them, "Be not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people; (11) for today in the city of David a Savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.
So to reject Mary as being Mother of God is to deny the truth written in the Gospel according to Lk 1:31-32, 42-43; 2:10-11; and Mat 1:20. To reject Mary as being Mother of God is to deny also that Jesus Christ come in the flesh. To these St. John wrote: 1-Jn 4:2-3, “(2) This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, (3) and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of antichrist, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.”
Finally, since it is written that the angel proclaimed that the child born of the Virgin Mary is the Son of the Most High; he is the Messiah, our Savior and our Lord. It is also written that Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and proclaimed that Mary is the Mother of God; by proclaiming that Mary truly become the Mother of God, the Catholic Church did no more than reaffirming what was already written in the Bible.

So, was Mary the mother of God? No. Instead, she was to become the mother of the Son of God.

She is not Mother of the Father, nor the Holy Spirit, but the Son.

2. Need to use scripture for the explanation.
3. The RCC replaces or counterfeits Persons within the Trinity.
4. Never used the word "flesh"
5. mother of God is an open ended title
Jesus possessed 2 natures in a human body when he came to earth.
I will explain starting with the Divine Person and Nature.
Explaining the Divine Person, Spiritual Birth and Nature of Jesus
Why Mary never gave birth to The Divine Person along with the Divine Nature of Jesus. Reason why, the Son (Jesus) was Begot of the Father within the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and is the only begotten of the Father.
John writes in John 1:14 " And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." >>>>>>>Here Scripture says the "Word", who is Jesus the Son became flesh is the only begotten of the Father.
Jesus says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Jesus says in John 10:30 "I and My Father are one.”
John 1:14 , 3:16, and John 10:30 clearly states the Jesus was begot with in the Trinity, specifically the Father. This verses clearly state Jesus is a Divine Person and Divine in Nature. The Divine Person and Divine Nature of Jesus cannot be separated, they both go hand in hand and only exist with in the Trinity.
Jesus the Divine Person along with the Divine Nature was born before creation. Paul writes in Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation."
Jesus the Divine Person and Nature was begot of the Father before Mary a created human gave birth to Jesus in the Flesh. Jesus was born or begot before creation ("first born over all creation"), which means He was born or begot in Eternity. Eternity means infinite or unending time. Even life after death is eternal.
We know Jesus is a Divine Person with a Divine Nature begot of the Father within the Trinity (Godhead) before creation. Jesus (Son) the Divine Person along with the Divine Nature was also born within the Spiritual realm not the fleshly or humanly world. Remember there are Three Persons within the Trinity or Godhead that have a Divine Nature and have existed in eternity and before creation in the Spiritual realm.
Summarizing, Since Jesus was born Divine that simply means that the Divine Person and Nature of Jesus the Son was already Established with in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) or Godhead before creation. Mary cannot birth the Divine Person of Jesus, that belongs to God with in the Trinity before creation.
Since the Divine Person and Nature of the Son Jesus is established begot and birth within the Trinity, Now we can look at the fleshly birth of Jesus. Mary contributed the flesh.
Jesus says in John 3:5 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
For the Divine Son Jesus to be born in this world He would have to take on flesh and become flesh. Another Point sin had to be put to death in the flesh (Romans 8:10-17) . That is why Jesus came in the flesh and be put to death on the Cross.

John writes in John 1:14 " And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Paul writes in 1 Timothy 3:16 "God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory."
The virgin Mary just gave birth to the flesh of the Jesus NOT the the Divine Person and Nature of Jesus. Mary contributed the flesh so God in Nature and in the Person of Jesus the Son can be manifested in the flesh and be born of the virgin Mary in the flesh. Jesus was born of Mary in the flesh under the Law as well the virgin birth was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14
The Holy Spirit overshadows Mary. Luke writes in Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God."
This clearly is mentioning the Divine Person and Nature which is already established in eternity is coming into the sin filled world in flesh by child birth. Mary is going to provide the human flesh for the Divine Person of Jesus the "Son". Only the Power of God thru the Person of the Holy Spirit and the Son can do this divine or supernatural intervention. This is a Miracle.
Paul writes in Philippians 2:7" but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men." ESV explains it this way Philippians 2:7 "but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

Jesus was 100% a Person of flesh and a nature of flesh as well 100% God in a Person and Nature, fully man and God at the same time. Jesus possessed both man and God. Jesus was God incarnate.
Mary did not birth the deity or Divine Person of Jesus the Son like this video says. The Divine Person Jesus always existed (Eternal) that can not be born from a mortal fleshly created human like Mary. The virgin Mary just gave birth to the flesh for the Divine Son of God.
God as the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) self exists and cannot be born from a created human like Mary. Jesus was first begot of the Father, and for Jesus to come to earth he had to be born of Flesh. Mary just gave birth to the Flesh of the Divine Person of Jesus.
Rome's dogma of Mary and title "mother of God", counterfeits or removes and replaces Persons within the Trinity (Godhead).
The perpetual virginity counterfeits the Person of the Father in the Trinity. The RCC claims Mary stayed a virgin her whole life and her only begotten son is Jesus. This belief counterfeits what it says in John 3:16 ""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son". The Father begot the Son or to say the Son was born of the Father.
Also that Mary staying a virgin her whole life counterfeits the Son, because Jesus probably stayed a virgin his whole earthly life. Mary did have other children found in Matthew 12:46-47, Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:2-3, John 2:12, Acts 1:14, 1 Cor. 9:4-5, and Gal. 1:19.
The title "mother of God" is open ended title and is very misleading. Man should not have given the title "mother of God" and the RCC should not keep imputing that title to Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus. By imputing the title "mother of God" they introduce error.
What the council in Ephesus in 431 should have done. is given Mary the title "mother of the God-Man" (Theanthropos). Even "mother of God in the flesh" which would be appropriate. This would separate the Deity and the Humanity and explain the Three persons of God (Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit) or the Godhead and Mary the earthly, human, and fleshly mother of Jesus.
With just the title "mother of God" The Roman Catholic Church leaves a false open ended title that makes Mary to be Mother of the God of the Trinity and exalted above the Trinity, which is a huge error and why the Roman Catholic Church gets attacked on this "mother of God" title. With an open ended title "mother of God" other names for Mary crept in as well like Queen of heaven, Perpetual Virgin, Blessed Mother, Mediatrix (co-redemptrix), Benefactress and many more no need to mention.
The only bible text used by catholics to claim that 'mary was the mother of god' is found at Luke 1:43. "The mother of my Lord" Elisabeth exclaimed. They teach that the greek word 'Adonay' was used. ( Only found referring to Almighty God in the OT)..This is false since all the most reliable & earliest MSS use the greek word 'Kurios' ( 'Lord' 'master' 'owner'.) See Luke 19:16 where Jesus himself uses the same greek word to relate the way the returning slaves with minas addressed there master 'Lord'. So under inspiation of Holy spirit Elisabeth recognised that this baby would grow to be her 'Lord & master' Not her God!
By saying using the word Lord as Master, that doesn’t imply that Master necessarily excludes any Divine meaning.
Is God also our Master and Lord? Yes. One doesn’t exclude the other.
There’s more to that Greek. It can also mean God as well. It depends on the entire context of the Scripture etc.
We also use logic.
Is Mary the Mother of Jesus? Yes.
Is Jesus, God? Yes.
So Mary is the Mother of God.
@@John-iq2zt The word 'divine' doesnt not only mean of the Almighty God, the Father, but since Peter says that the 'saints' "Will be partakers of the 'divine nature" ( 2 Peter 1:4) they become "brothers of the Christ" ( Heb 2:11) Therefore If Christ's 'divine nature' means he is God himself, then the saints would also aquire Godship when they receive their heavanly reward, which they dont! So the word 'Divine' literally means 'Of Godlike quality' Greek Theois. It is WRONGLY rendered 'godhead' (a term first coined by John Wycliffe in the 13th century). Thus Mary was indeed the mother of the 'divine' son of God, but NOT the mother of GOD Almighty! Thus we worship only 'God the Father' as Jesus instructed! John 4:23,4
Mary is not the mother of God, Mary IS God, what part of this don‘t the Catholics understand?
That’s called heresy and idolatry. It’s not part of our Catholic Faith and reason.
@@John-iq2zt You’ll get there eventually.
