ArchivedMary of the RosaryAieno Wrote: I said she was Mother of God the flesh, read above. Aieno Wrote:
Jesus was God, who was born of the Virgin, So logically speaking the virgin is the Mother of God. Aieno Wrote: I never said it was. tuppence Wrote: Jesus is "Emmanuel" – which means "God with us, full stop. (Mt 1:22-23) All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: (23) "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" --which means,"God with us." tuppence Wrote: Athiests try to associate many things in Christianity to paganism. You are doing the same. A woman is someone's mother if she had that person in her womb or if she contributed genetic matter to that person's body. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her (not Joseph) that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3). Since Mary is Jesus' mother, the fact that she is also the Mother of God is inescapable, for 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, whose valid form was recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ. Mary is thus the Mother of God not in the sense that she is older than God or the source of the Son's divinity (for she is neither), but 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 genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ. God is not and can not be divided, she didnt JUST carry the Body of God, but God himself. Please be logical. |
