Mary is the mother of God simply because Jesus is God. The church teaches that Mary being the mother of God does not mean she is greater than her son or that she came before her son, no, it simply means that the child she carried and bored is a God therefore making her His mother, is as simple as that unless Jesus is no longer God. We should also remember that Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit called Mary the mother of my Lord, In fact Mary called Jesus my son and Jesus called her Mother. The bond which always exist between a mother and her child invariably existed between Mary and Jesus, the bond which made her nurture him in infancy, was there in His first miracle, made her appear in christ ministry, was there during His cruel death on the cross, the bond which united them even in His precious death, was there in His resurrection and ascension and still there with the apostle when they receive the Holy spirit. The church have always confirmed that Mary is infinitly lower than Jesus. Jesus created her but the same Jesus by His own choice later become her son. Her creator became her child, is a mystery. Mary after being called mother of my Lord by Elizabeth through the revelation of the Holy Spirit realizes in a deeper way the great work God have done for her and reconfirms what the angel already told her about the nature of the one she is to bear. Thus Mary sang a song saying that from that day all generations shall call her blessed, FOR HE THAT IS MIGHTY HAVE DONE GREAT THINGS FOR HER. SHALOM
Must you use insult, argumentum ad hominem smh, please try to be more kind with your choice of word. Thank you. Anyway, nice sentence structure
Tamaratonye1: I'm not aware that your imaginary friend exists "deep inside". Your pretending to know what I believe is futile. What you have here is a failed attempt to convince yourself (not me) that your favourite imaginary friend exists, even when it looks like your fantasy bubble is being rudely bursted on an online chat forum. You can't handle it, and are now attempting desperately to shut down the argument with this old chestnut.
Now to your question,
When you say, "how does energy get into the system", this is asking the question in completely the wrong way , in my opinion. The universe is all that there is, unless you can offer evidence to the contrary.
If the total energy of the universe is zero (which is a highly valid hypothesis, based on what we know about the universe), you have your answer, which is that it didn't - what we see is just perturbations around the zero-energy mean. And your argument is of little or no practical relevance. Whether this is true or not is something we might never know. But at least it is based on observations and logic, as opposed to the supernatural claims of the followers of the petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; the vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; the misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully(*). Or, as you might know "him": God.
Plus, the first law of thermodynamics has nothing to do with what happened before the rapid expansion. And please don't pull out all the stops just to lie to yourself. NO ONE knows what happened before the rapid expansion.
I once asked a physicist acquaintance "what was there before the big bang? Sorry, rapid expansion. His answer: 'there was no before". Stephen Hawking said that when the universe was a singularity, the size of a single atom, time and space did not exist.
Lawrence Krauss also has an interesting video on the notion of a universe from nothing . I can't claim to understand all of it. I'm actually more interested in the fact that competent scientists are seriously discussing the topic; to me that means the matter is not settled.
Your questions seem to me to be a sneaky attempt at shifting the burden of proof . I for one have made no claims of scientific expertise nor about the existence of god. I need prove nothing. It is up the the theist to prove his claim of the existence of god, or any claims about science.
The internet is loaded with scientific papers by (Steinhardt & Turok for example), in which they postulate a mechanism for energy being donated to the incipient universe. But I suspect you have been too busy pretending that apologetics dictates how reality behaves, to bother with such inconvenient interruptions to your fantasy as actually reading the extant cosmological physics literature. Instead you come over here to embarrass your cult members with your false claims and nasty, bogging, appalling, unspeakable, unbelievable, nightmarish use of English.
I mean, for a second I squinted my face trying to understand the question "How did does Energy got into the system". Couldn't you read before posting this eyesore? Do you have problems constructing sentences? Anyways, I digress...
Now riddle me this... can you demonstrate how we get causally to 'God'?
For example, we know we can follow natural causal links all the way back to a second after the big bang... everything has a naturalistic cause.
What is the preceding natural cause before you specifically invoke your god?
(*) Credit to Richard Dawkins, for this magnificent rant.
A very accurate analysis of the Trinity, thank you solite, I thought I was the only person in nairaland that sees the Trinity this way. They are both equally eternal and eternally equal.
