Let me remind you your first reply to my post...

"Yes, going by the books, his human existence started in Mary's womb. Now whoever birth an human, is the Mother"

"His human existence started in Mary's womb"

Again, when did His Divine person start to exist


This is the question you haven't provided answer to because you know you'll short yourself in the foot.

Human existence doesn't mean his life started in Mary's womb . Hence the clause " human" added to existence . Let me remind you that you added that the Divine nature was HIDDEN in that human nature that Mary GAVE BIRTH TO.

So what passed through Mary's vagina ? God in human flesh ?

Tell me what passed through Mary's vagina, and we shall clearly see if she gave birth to God or not.

The FLESH is the house for the divine person to be seen by ordinary human eyes and be able to do what ordinary human can do....isn't that manifestation in the FLESH


House ? grin grin recall this post , So what passed through Mary's Vagina was a Divine person/God covered with flesh ?

Peacefullove:
Human existence doesn't mean his life started in Mary's womb.

So if His Human existence doesn't mean His life started in Mary's womb, what happened to his DIVINE PERSON after Mary given birth to His HUMAN PERSON....

I've noticed that, you're using your JWs theory i.e Human doesn't have spirit person residing inside them to disprove this thread whereas, the Catholic who made the claim have believe in the theory of Human has spirit being residing in their flesh.

Can you see where the problem lies?

Hence the clause " human" added to existence.

What happened to the divine person after HUMAN WAS ADDED

Let me remind you that you added that the Divine nature was HIDDEN in that human nature that Mary GAVE BIRTH TO.

Now, does this mean I said divine nature was part of what Mary carried in her womb?

So what passed through Mary's vagina ? God in human flesh?

Mary birth the human nature NOT THE DIVINE PERSON, how many times will I repeat this to your empty skull?

Tell me what passed through Mary's vagina, and we shall clearly see if she gave birth to God or not.

The human nature passed....

You can see the reason why it's not good to jump into what you are confused about or don't have the indepth knowledge of.

I made a statement from my first post, which you jump in like a kangaroo without first understanding my point.

Let me show you how the fallacy of equivocation works with an example that is more clear.

1. Jesus is God.
2. God is a Trinity.
3. Jesus is the Trinity.

Do you see how lack of verification of terms results in confusion? Let me analyze this to show you where the problem lies.

1. Jesus is God.
1.1. In this sense, "God" means the divine essence.

2. God is a Trinity.
2.1. In this sense, "God" is describing the Trinity, one God in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. Jesus is the Trinity.
3.1. The confusion arises in the use of the term "God" which means one thing in premise one and something different in premise two, even though it is the same word. This demonstrates the fallacy of equivocation.

As you can see, without clarification errors can arise from such ambiguous, undefined conclusions. Such is the case with the Roman Catholic Church which has attributed to Mary far more than what the Scriptures have declared.

Important Concerns
The initial concern that is associated with calling Mary the "mother of God" is the implication of superiority, and also a special position that she would then possess. Please consider the following problems associated with the exultation of Mary.

1. Mary sits at the right hand of Christ: "...she is the supreme Minister of the distribution of graces. Jesus "sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Hebrews i. b.). Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son..." (Pope Pius X, 1835-1914, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, 14).

Now, does this mean I said divine nature was part of what Mary carried in her womb?



So God wasn't manifested in the Flesh in Mary's womb again ?

Obviously, there are serious problems with the exultation of Mary by Roman Catholicism. Nevertheless, to the Roman Catholics credit, they do not assert that Mary is older than God or the source of his divinity.

"Although Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ."fn]http://www.catholic.com/tracts/mary-mother-of-god

Still, the problem of the exultation of Mary cannot be ignored, as the documented list of exultation regarding Mary clearly reveals. For an article on this serious problem see The Exultation of Mary.

There is a logical fallacy in the argument that Mary is the mother of God
by Matt Slick

The Roman Catholic Church often calls Mary the "mother of God." They say...

"Since Mary is Jesus' mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ."1

There is a sense in which the syllogism is true, but also another in which it is not. Let's take a look.

The world itself is a mystery.
I am yet to know why people refer to Jesus as God when he stated clearly in the Bible that he is not.
Well, I am just wondering though.

Remember, Martin Luther made the Bible even accessible to the ordinary man today!

Beware of the Catholic philosophy! It is the problem we wrestle with in Christian belief today.

God is God. He is One and He does not share His personality with anyone.

Mary is the Mother of God. QED
Jesus is Fully Man and Fully God
Even while on earth, he didn't stop being God

He wasn't God on earth. This was why he had to be anointed for ministry. If he was God on earth, he will not need the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

In addition, he will not eat or sleep. God doesn't sleep. He became man for our sake to redeem us.

Concerning the issue of Mary being referred to as the mother of God, there is no where in the scripture where Jesus called Mary mother. He addressed her as woman. She was only a vessel that carried the baby Jesus. God could have used any other vessel in that lineage.

It takes a spiritual man to understand spiritual truth. If you are not born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, there is nothing I am going to explain that will make sense to you.

In summary, there is one God who is invisible and he dwells bodily in Christ. Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. If you want to see God, look at Jesus.

He reproduced himself in Christ and yet Jesus still call him God. They don't walk independently. Their thoughts and minds are networked together.
