the word became flesh telling you mary bore a man not God.
Jesus existed before Mary. He is before all things.
I respect Mary not because she bear the man Christ Jesus but because of her faith.
Mary never gave her self the title theotokus, neither did Jesus or the disciples in fact Mary never played any significant role in the church like the apostles it was pagans that gave her that name. Your Jesus is the Antichrist not the Jesus of the bible.
You religion is called the cult of mary! The church of Christ is built on Jesus not Mary.
Jesus has d fulnes of d godhead bodily, if mary only gave birth to d man Jesus, who gave birth to d one who had d fulnes of d godhead bodily?

nobody said JESUS divine nature was formed in mary's womb, abeg dont accuse us falsely.

what we said is that she gave birth to GOD.
My spirit isnt produced by my mum, but she gave birth to me body and spirit, she is still my mother. u cant say she only gave birth to my body not d spirit. she gave birth to both.

Jesus divinity and spirit wasnt developed by mary but she still gave birth to a person who is God and man, u cant say she only gave birth to d man and not to God, unless u claim Jesus is 2 different persons.
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.

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

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.

Keep on destroying your self with false doctrine that Jesus or the apostles never knew. If any man or even an angel preach another Jesus the apostles never preached let him be accursed.

Go back and read my post again slowly.

I don't practice faith your satanic faith of marianism which like you said was developed by men.

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)

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 cheesy

Yet none of this showed Mary is the mother of God. It is not a matter of shame,Mary cannot give birth to God cause God is not born neither is he made. Mary was only the mother of the man Jesus not the word. The word had existed before Mary john 1:1.

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.

let us clap for the new nestorius d bibler says "in him dwellth the fullness of d godhead bodily. he didnt leave his god nature in heaven.

See what bible scholars wrote Jesus.

Philippians 2:6
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

Philippians 2:6
2:6 form of God. Jesus Christ was God from eternity (John 1:1-3), the Creator of all things.


Philippians 2:6
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 could not cease being God. The word for “robbery” is used only this one time in the New Testament.


Philippians 2:7
2:7 no reputation. That is, He "emptied Himself." The Greek word is kenoo, and this self-emptying of Christ has been called the "kenosis" doctrine. Certain liberals have suggested that He became human in the sense that He was fallible, possibly even sinful, but such thinking is wrong and dangerous. He not only "came down from heaven," He was still "in heaven" (John 3:13). He was not sent down from heaven in sinful flesh, but only in "the likeness of sinful flesh" (Romans 8:3). He was "made in the likeness of men" with a miraculously created human body that inherited nothing whatever of Adam's sinful nature. Even though He exchanged the outward form of God for that of a human slave, He never stopped being "very God of very God," as the old creed expressed it.


Philippians 2:8
2:8 humbled himself. He not only stooped from the glory of heaven’s throne to become a true human being, yet sinless, but He also became like a bondservant and finally like a guilty criminal, condemned to die, even(!) to die in what has been said to be the most excruciatingly painful death conceivable, that of crucifixion. His obedience all through His life culminated in this ultimate act of obedience (note Hebrews 5:cool, and it was all for us!

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.

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.

Funny man you are asking me where is the
alleged books Paul wrote.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 Good News Translation (GNT)
In the letter that I wrote you I told you not to associate with immoral people.
see..there's another pauline supposedly inspired book...thats not in the bible..


Well what we have
today is the complete bible nothing more!
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?

Any other book is not inspired are at best forged.
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.

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.
