Glory to God, peace on earth, good will to all.
Quote:My question is, since Christians believe that Jesus is ‘<i>fully God and fully man</i>”, having 2 natures etc, so, do you guys consider Mary to be the mother of Jesus <b>the man or the God</b>? If she was the mother of Jesus the man, then why do you call her God’s mother? And if you consider her to be the mother of Jesus the God, then how did she conceive God before she was even born?
Our Lord's two natures are united into One Divine Person. A woman gives birth to a "person" not a "nature", therefore, it's fitting to call Our Lady, Theotokos (Mother of God/God-bearer).
Hope that makes sense (does anything I say ever make sense to you?) :D :lol: :P ;)
