Subject: Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. |
Bible Note: "God-bearer" is not a problem at all for me, and is very Chalcedonian. I guess the problem that most Protestants have with the term "mother of God" is the possible connotation that Jesus' divine nature in some respect had his divine origin with her. In this respect, I think that many Catholics (not necessarily you) come to the opposite but equally bad heresy of the Monophysites, who declared that Jeses has only one nature, a blending of the two rather than a union of the two in one person. As an aside, one of the reasons I reject transubstantiation (and the consubstantiation of Lutheranism) is that it seems to make the important distinction between the finite human nature of Christ and His infinite divine nature. --Joe! |
