Subject: Why do catholic call Mary mother of God. |
Bible Note: Crossman, If I follow your logic I get this: Mary is not the mother of God. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is not God. I folow this logic. Jesus is God. Mary is Jesus' mother. Mary is the mother of God. You are correct to say she is not the mother of the Father nor the Holy Spirit, but Jesus is God in the flesh incarnate and she is the mother of Him who is True God and True man. Even Luther and Calvin understood and agreed with this basic Christological doctrine, because they understood that to deny that Mary is the mother of God is to say Jesus is not God and have a divine nature. It is to say there must be two persons not just two natures in one Person. Jesus is not a human person with a human nature who then took on a divine nature. He is a Divine Person with a divine nature, who took on a human nature and the two natures were in a perfect "hypostatic" union within the one Incarnate Divine Person who was born of the Virgin Mary, the mother of that Divine Incarnate Person, Jesus, whom Elizabeth called "my Lord." in Luke 1. She did not say "How is it that the mother of my Lord's body should come to me." If Jesus is Lord, that is God, then Mary is the mother of the Lord, my God. I highly recommend the study Church history and the development of basic Christological doctrines in the early Councils. Mary the mother of God is a Christological doctrine, that asserts the Divinty of the Son of Mary, Jesus Christ. It is about Him, not her and she as always is the willing servant of God used according to His purpose and His glory. She was the stick with which the Church beat the Nestorians. If you don't believe me on this, read the Church history, read Luther, read Calvin. Emmaus |
