    It is interesting that thousands of sites refer to Cyril as St Cyril, Holy Bishop of Alexandria and so on.
    How much will they be surprised when they find him in the Lake of Fire?

    The common points that I notice about RC are that they hate Jews, Bible-translators, Bible reading, and so on.
    For example, Pulcheria, the sister of Theodosius, the emperor, seduced the Emperor to condemn Nestorius, then expel Jews, didn't oppose to Arianism, built churches for the Virgin Mary. Then she was canonized as Saint by RC pope.

    Even though, People who claim Mother of God say that it doesn't lead to Mary worship, they built the churches for the name of Virgin Mary, which proves that Mother of God puts Mary above God, or before God.

    Wrong. Consider: Jesus is our Lord (as I think you agree), Mary is the "mother of our Lord" (as you've already agreed is an acceptable title for her), and scripture says there is one Lord (when referring to the Godhead). Let's rewrite your things like so:

    1. Jesus is Lord,
    Mary is Mother of Jesus
    Therefore Mary is Mother of the Lord
    2. Holy spirit is Lord,
    Mary is Mother of the Lord
    Therefore Mary is Mother of Holy Spirit
    3. God the Father is Lord
    Mary is Mother of the Lord.
    Therefore Mary is Mother of God the Father

    The first item is entirely true. The conclusions of the second and thired are not orthodox Trinitarianism, and thus your conclusions of the second two do not follow their true premises like the first one does. Thus, to continue to use them against my position is to be hypocritical, erroneous, unorthodox, employ a double standard, and just plain annoying.

    Then how was Christ a descendent of David, and rightful heir to David's throne? How was he "made of the seed of David according to the flesh" (Rom 1:3), "of the seed of David" (2 Tim 2:8), "of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh" (Acts 2:29) and "cometh of the seed of David" (John 7:42) if he was not biologically connected to Mary?

    May God bless DHK as he has a sound belief.

    Natters, I fully understand your concern, but without calling Mary Mother of God, we can still defend that truth. the body of Jesus came out of her, no doubt. Don't worry!

    According to traditional understaning, Mary may be the biological mother. Another thought is that she may not be the biological mother as Mt 1:20 says " the one in her is (already ) born out of Holy Spirit" (even before He was born of Mary) Therefore we are not sure whether Mary is the real Biological mother or not.

    Then why not respond to it?

    Is Jesus Lord? Yes.
    Was Jesus Lord before he was conceived in Mary's womb? Yes.
    Is Mary the mother of our Lord, even though Jesus existed as Lord before Mary existed? Yes!

    His descent is only confined to the body provided by him by the woman who raised him as his mother.

    Natters, we shouldnot use the strawman'logic syllogism.

    Was God the Father was in the womb of Mary?

    Please answer this first!

    I have answered it. The answer is "no" - for the same reason the Father as "Lord" was not in the womb of Mary, even though Jesus the Son is "Lord" and there is only one Lord. Please pay attention.

    Natters, your logic is like this.
    Someone obtained a key for a car. then he brought the car from the owner's
    Police arrested him and he excused he didn't steal the car. But he just played with the key on the car, then the car just followed him.

    Think about it!

    I don't understand - she provided his body, but she's not biologically connected to that body? How does that work?

    Eliyahu, instead of talking about unexplained analogies, how about just comment directly on Jesus as Lord before Mary's existence, yet Mary still being mother of our Lord?

    Natters,
    You are wrong!
    You are denying Trinity!
    Are you separating God the Father and God the Son?
    Have you read ?
    Christ is all and in all (col 3:11)
    One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in you all (Eph 4:6)

    Mary was mere a creature even at that time she was bearing Him.

    As for your question about Lord:
    I told you nobody misunderstand Lord means Pre-existence and Producer. Therefore Mother of Lord doesn't contradict Pre-existence of God.

    I explained you this many times so far. I hope you will not ask me to repeat it.

    No problem with Mother of our Lord, which was used in Bible.

    Eliyahu, actually I'm asking you NOT to repeat it. I'm asking you to stop shooting your own position full of holes. [​IMG]

    Simply answer this question as clearly as you can:
    How is Mary the mother of our Lord?

    Natters, you believe Jesus was mere a Human Embryo in the womb of Mary!
    He was the Creator and He was carrying her!
    He was protecting Mary too!
    Without Jesus, she couldn't survive one second! Do you believe this?
    Without Jesus she was bounding toward the hell!
