Genesis 3:15 "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel." Mary is an example of obedient faith in God and an image and symbol of the Church, which carries Christ into the world. For this reason she was called by the early Greek Christians, Theotokos, or God Bearer. She is also called the Mother of the Church, which is the mystical body of Christ as Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 12:12-30. |

Greetings Emmaus! Mary was nothing more than a willing virgin of whom God used to deliver His Son. She was nothing more than that. - Nolan |

God, Mary's Savior "And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." Luke 1:47 (NASB) "1:47 *my Savior.* Mary referred to God as 'Savior,' indicating both that she recognized her own need of a Savior, and that she knew the true God as her Savior. Nothing here or anywhere else in Scripture indicates Mary thought of herself as 'immaculate' (free from the taint of original sin). Quite the opposite is true; she employed language typical of someone whose only hope for salvation is divine grace. Nothing in this passage lends support to the notion that Mary herself ought to be an object of adoration" (note at Luke 1:47, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |

Indeed, God can save us from the pit of sin or before we fall into it. Either way God saves. If you were God and could create your own mother, would you create her pure or stained with sin? It would be your doing not her's. Luke 1:28 "Full of grace,” in the Greek, "kecharitome" is a perfect passive participle indicating "one (she) who has been perfected in grace,” a past action that is ongoing. |

God never had a mother. God never 'created' His mother. And Mary is NOT the "Mother of God". Mary was a human being. Jesus was fully human and fully God at the same time (Colossians 2:9). In no way was Mary the Mother of God, even though God used her to "give birth" to the human child Jesus, who has existed forever with His Father, even before the creation of the world. (John 1:1, 1 John 1:1, Hebrews 13:8) Mary was nothing more than a woman who was a disciple of Christ. - Nolan |

Did Jesus have a mother? What was her name? Was Jesus God? Was there more than one Jesus, the God Jesus and the man Jesus? Do women give birth to natures or to persons? Jesus was one divine person, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Mary was the mother of that Incarnation. That is not the same as saying she created the pre-existent deity or that she is in any way equal to God. Look up the Nestorian heresy. | ||||||

Greetings my Catholic friend! Ha! I would ask you to look at your own heresy: the heresy that says that Mary was the mother of God. God has no beginning and no end. No human woman ever gave birth to God. True, God used Mary to introduce Jesus Christ into the world. But Jesus did not originate in Mary any more than the Catholic church began with Peter. Jesus Christ has always existed. Right now, I'm pulling up all of the other posts that I've written on the Forum against Catholicism and the claim that Mary was anything more than a disciple of Christ, and I'll be ready. - Nolan |
