As do you . . .

You're talking out of BOTH sides of your mouth. FIRST, you say that Jesus is NOT a human person. THEN, you say that Jesus IS a human person. Sooooo, which is it?? Jesus is God and Jesus is Human. Mary gave birth to the only Man God (Theanthropos).

Mary was a "surrogate" mother? Show me where the BIBLE makes this claim - Chapter and Verse, please. THIS is what the Word of God says about that: Luke 1:31 And behold, YOU will conceive in YOUR WOMB and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. Surrogate mothers don't "conceive". They...

Ahhhh, so you don't believe that Jesus is God. Got it.

You're NOT addressing the issue. Jesus is 100% HUMAN as well as being 100% God. Now - explain to me why you have a problem with calling Mary the "Mother of God" when Jesus, in His hypostasis, unites to Himself TWO Natures - Divine and Human - and these 2 natures are INDIVISIBLE.

Coming from a guy who doesn't have the first clue as to what a Catholic is . . .

WRONG. There are THREE Marys at the Crucifixion: 1. Mary, mother of Jesus 2. Mary Magdalene 3. Mary, "Sister" (Adelphe") of Mary, Mother of Jesus and wife of Clopas/Alphaeus. It is THIS Mary who is called the mother of James and Joses (Joseph) and NOT Mary, Mother of Jesus. Allow me to educate...

You're avoiding your original objection. YOU said: "A human person having a mother isn’t a controversial concept. God himself having a mother is a controversial concept." Explain to me WHY this is 'controversial" - given the reality of the Hypostatic Union (FULLY human & FULLY God).

If that is my only choice - then MY bad. HOWEVER - that makes YOUR original argument completely bogus. In the OP - @theefaith asked the following question: "Why is mother of Jesus acceptable but mother of our savior and mother of our salvation and mother of God is not acceptable by most who...

As I explained in post #38 - the Hypostatic Union doesn't negate Jesus's humanity. It states that His divinity and humanity are united in ONE Person, who is God. This doesn't meant that He isn't a human person - unless you are still trying to separate His 2 natures as Nestorius did. Hew isn't a...

Ummmmm, can you show me WHERE I explained it? I didn't think so . . . NOW, I'll explain it to you: ONLY in John's Gospel will you see Jesus refer to His mother as "Woman". Mary is the fulfillment of the prophecy in Genesis: Gen. 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the WOMAN, and between...

I see where your confusion lies. The Hypostatic Union doesn't negate Jesus's humanity. It states that His divinity and humanity are united in ONE Person, which is God. This doesn't meant that He isn't a human person - unless you are still trying to separate His 2 natures as Nestorius did. Hew...

Soooooo - how does ANY of this "deny" that Jesus is a human?? By the way - the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union was defined at the Council of Ephesus in 431.

PLEASE do. In fact - who me ANY Trinitarian teaching that Jesus is not a human - Catholic OR Protestant. This is a heresy.

So, I take it that you CAN'T answer the question? I asked you WHY Jesus calls His mother "Woman" in John's Gospel. If you can't answer this - just say so and I will explain it to you. As for their conversations being "antagonistic" - YOU are implying that Jesus violated the Commandment to...

The SHOW me the Catholic teaching from the Catechism that Jesus is NOT a human being. This was addressed at the Councils of Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381) and Ephesus (431) when various heresies challenged this reality. Your claim is FALSE - and the people who told you it was true either...

Your statement above in RED is patently FALSE. NOWHERE iin Trinitarian teaching is the humanity of Jesus denied. In fact - it teaches the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union - that He is FULLY God and FULLY Human. So, you need to investigate whatever caused you to post such a lie . . .

Why do you think that Jesus refers to His mother as "Woman" in John's Gospel?

The Father IS the Father of "all". ONE Spirit ONE Lord ONE God and Father of ALL. You really SHOULD call yourself the "Scriptural Saboteur" . . .

Ummmmm, I answered your question. I can't help it if you're not prepared to understand a simple response. Next time - show the ENTIRE verse in its context instead of cherry-picking phrases to make a point. Who knows? You might discover some truth . . .
