Ubenedictus:It is very correct to say Mary was the mother of the man Jesus not God. Jesus existed before Mary but I did not exist before my mother she gave birth to me. Jesus was not like that Jesus was existing before Mary to say Mary was the mother of God is wrong. There is difference between the man Christ Jesus and God. While Mary was the mother of the man Christ Jesus but not the mother of the word. If you understand this then there is no reason to call Mary mother of God but mother of Jesus. |

Ubenedictus:the fullness of the God head is God's totality which indwell the man Christ Jesus Mary was not the mother of this divine nature. For example the bible records that John was filled with the holy Spirit from his mother's womb does that mean that Elizabeth is the mother of the holy Spirit? Certainly not Mary is the mother of Jesus human nature not his divine nature. Shallom |

solite3:Pre-existence has nothing to do with motherhood! there are people who believe in re-incanation and blive they are older that their mum, but their mother is still their mother. once a woman gives birth then she is d mother of whatever she has birthed, it has nothing to do with preexistence. the test of motherhood is birth not preexistence. infact who exist before who is non seqitur in dis discussion |

solite3: Hahahaha, do you even read my posts? Abi "my pastor say" don cloud your brain. In this your post for instance what point have you made? Scripture stare at you in the face, but you fail to realize truth. See as you just de rant with hate. The word became flesh in Mary's womb Jn.1:14, Mary bore the word. The word was God Jn1:1, Mary bore God. Mary is Theotokus (God bearer) Merry Christmas Solite3 |

solite3: Chai, sorry o. The word became flesh, means God took flesh Jn1:1-14. This God, that Mary bore, was worshiped by the wise men (Matt.2:11). This God, that Mary bore, forgave sins (Mark.2:5). All generations shall call her blessed, it's scriptural Merry Christmas solite3 2 Likes |

solite3: What exactly in my post is the Insult? Brethren make una see o, "wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me" 2Kings.5:7. Jesus was never man alone, the child in Mary's womb is the word that took flesh Jn.1:14. Merry Christmas Solite3 |

Ubenedictus: If Mary was at a point greater than the almighty God then that explains why you guys worship and adore her. |

Ubenedictus:pre existentence has everything to do with motherhood. A baby can never pre exist her mum. Re incarnation is a myth. Reality is no baby preexist her mother.for example a woman of 30 can not claim she is the mother of a 31years old can she? |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? Is Mary The Theotokos (God-bearer)? by Nobody: 9:49am On Dec 26, 2016 |
Ubenedictus:you can only connect the human nature of Christ to time not his divine nature. God was not born by mary but the man Christ Jesus was born. For example when Jesus died it wasn't God that died but the man Jesus, when Jesus slept it wasn't God that slept but the man. So you can't say Mary is the mother of God but the mother of Jesus. You never read anywhere the apostles call mary mother of God. |
Re: Is Mary The Mother Of God? Is Mary The Theotokos (God-bearer)? by Nobody: 10:01am On Dec 26, 2016 |
Ubenedictus:I didn't say the word is not God. If the word took flesh and was born as man then Mary could only be the mother of the man and if Jesus is already God before mary's existence then Mary cannot be the mother of God. Do you know that in the world to come nothing like father or mother or husband or wife but all will be brethren. They will have just one father God. Earthly relationship ends on earth. All human spirits are the same age. The very day God created Adam was the very day he created everyone. In heaven Mary will just be like my sister |

Ubenedictus:nope Jesus didn't stop being God but Mary was never the mother of God. |

Ubenedictus:John wasn't God but was filled with the holy spirit from his mother's womb can we say Elisabeth carry the holy Spirit who is God in her womb with John? Mary give birth to a physical being Jesus not God. Remember God is a spirit. Jesus human nature and divine nature are completely separate. One dwells and operates in time the other does not. Jesus as human was born but Jesus as God was not born Jesus as human was created but Jesus as God was not created. while Jesus the man and was a baby God was not a baby As human he was lower than the angels but as God he was above all. Mary was his mother as a man but as God he has no origin nor descent. |

see..there's another pauline supposedly inspired book...thats not in the bible.. which ? the one martin luther determined or the one the catholics did? Or the one of the assyrian church of the east? Or the coptic bible? Which one sire? how do you also account for instances in the bible like Matt 2:23? Matt 23:2-3? 1 Cor 10:4? 2 Tim 3:8? 1 Peter 3:19? Jude 9? James 5:17? None of these statements appear in the old testament.. Even Jesus quoted a statement not found in the old testament in John 7:38 but they appear in other non-canonized books... Are the also non-inspired? Even in the old testament there are cases like these...some books are/were considered the word of God but are not in your bible...eg The acts of solomon ??

How can she be the mother of her God? Luke1: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. 50His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. |

solite3:actually since d word took flesh mary will b d mother of the word that took flesh, not just d flesh and if Jesus is already God before mary's existence then Mary cannot be the mother of God.

solite3:Actually u can connect d whole person of Christ to time even his divine nature! About 2000yrs ago God decided to be with man immanuel, God took flesh in mary's womb, God was born by a virgin, God walked the earth, and becos flesh cannot pay my ransom God who took flesh died, God rose again. so yes God can be pinpointed in history, he came to live with us, if we had d immanuel (God with us) then he was certainly born by a virgin. |

solite3:Whether or not reincarnation is myth, my point still stands, a woman of 30 can claim that her daughters spirit is 100yrs old and she will still be a mother, because the test of motherhood is offspring not preexistence. |

OLAADEGBU:IT SEEMS U DIDNT SEE WHAT U POSTED 2:6 not robbery. He was not fearful of losing His deity when He exchanged the outward form of God for the outward form of man; that is, He did not have to cling to His deity as a robber would his plunder. He your scholars clearly state that JESUS COULD NOT CEASE BEING GOD, I.E there was no time when Jesus wasnt God even in the womb of mary. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU:Oh, i believe the bible that says Jesus had the fullness of the godhead so he was never lacking in knowledge as to who he is or in power. |
