Subject: Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. |
Bible Note: Emmaus had presented interesting references as to why Catholics call Mary the mother of God. And another thing, as Johnny had said, that is how their church presents Mary, "the mother of God." With all these references and church teachings, I strongly disagree that Mary is the mother of God. Mary is the mother of Jesus in the flesh (the human nature of Jesus) but not the mother of God. Interestingly, though Jesus was formed in her womb, Jesus was not conceived through sexual intercourse but by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:29-37). There was no participation in Mary's part to conceive Jesus. She was chosen to be the vessel of the coming Messiah (Luke 1:28-33). Jesus has two natures: God and Man. As God, He does not have a begining and end (I am the Alpha and Omega, Rev. 1:8). If Mary is the mother of God then, God has a beginning. The two natures of Jesus has to be separated in this particular issue. Another thing, If Mary is the mother of God then, she does not need a Saviour. But she herself was a human being needing a Saviour to save her from eternal damnation. I pray this view would be a help. God bless us all. Romans |
