Does God have a Mother?

Again Chemnitz you betray your ignorance and your faith.
[/QUOTE]

Did I say that all of them are not Christian? Don't try to accuse me of what I didn't say!

Have you read the article which I posted above?

Yes, there were many Lutherans who opposed to Nazis, but the majority supported Hitler. Even among the RC, there were many persecuted by Nazis. But such fact doesn't overwhelm the mainstream that Mostly RC supported Nazis and Lutherans followed them too, remembering what Martin Luther said.
Adolf Hitler may have worshipped pagan faith too, as many RC have such pagan faith together.
What about Himler, Goebels, and many other Hitler's henchmen? They are so called devout Catholic.

If you have any literature written by Nestorius, show it here!
Martin Luther was a born-again believer, a true believer, however, he didn't depart from RC very much in many aspects such as Consubstantiation, etc.
Not only Luther we notice, many reformers, even though they were born again Christians, made a lot of mistakes. Therefore such reference does not supercede the Bible Hebrews 7:3 where it denies Son of God has Mother.

 

I need to stick neither to Nestorius, nor to any refomers, but Bible is enough!

Is it so difficult to understand Heb 7:3?

Let me repeat the interpreation again.

From chapter 1 of Hebrews, the writer explains that Jesus is far superior to anyone or to angels. But He was lowered lower than the angels, then he mentions Jesus as Son of God in 4:14. ch7:3 explains about Melchizedek,compared to Son of God.

He explains that Melchizedek is very similar to Son of God ( or may be the same)because,
He has no father, no mother, and no genealogy. These charactors are the common natures between Son of God and Melchizedek, doesn't Bible say so?

Was Hebrews written before Jesus was born out of Mary?

No! The writer knew about the virgin birth, but He says Melchzedek is similar to Son of God because He has no mother!

Do you understand it?
Is it merely my own interpretation? How is your interpretation?

 

Matt,
If your view is correct, how come there are so many interpretations of the Bible between Christians? Sounds to me like either the Holy Spirit doesn't do a very good job or that there must be some other way of interpreting the Bible...

It is like a blindman touches the big elephant!

 

Hi everyone, let's try to limit the subject or territory of the theme to the original one.

As for anti-semitism of Luther, Jews know the exact comments and I was very much surprised about it when I heard it and resisted them, but I could understand both sides. There might be a human limit of the believer-Luther as we all have.

Now I posted my own interpretation of Heb 7:3 and therefore if Matt has another interpretation of Heb 7:3, pleas present it, explaining how the verse describe Son of God.

 

I think you'd better expand the scope of your understanding.
I am strong supporter for the deity of Jesus and believe that He is God, and believe that Johannine COMMA is the genuine part of true Bible, but do not call Mary as Mother of God, but call her as Mother of Jesus or Mother of the Lord. I limit the expression unto the point which is used and allowed by the Bible.
How much blessed Mary was or how much role Mary conducted is up to God, and I don't want to judge her. She is just one of the faithful and obedient believers, not the target to worship.

The problem is that such word, Mother of God gives very wrong impression to the believers and to the unbelievers as it sounds that she produced God,because the word Mother is always connected to "causing existence to" to the people.

I never found even the word " Mother of Christ"

 

Chemnitz,

I mentioned whether the source of your quote is directly from Nestorius or the one forged and abreviated by Roman Catholic?
I don't want to judge anyone without the direct and full description of his faith, especially when Roman Catholic is involved.

BTW, if he really said divinity didn't die, he is different from my belief. Then please don't accuse me as the same as Nestorius! Jesus died completely at the Cross.

As for Lutheran, you'd better check with yahoo, with Martin Luther anti-semitism. Thousands will prove how he behaved.
However, he and many reformers were true believers, but they didn't escape very far from RCC. Calvin insisted Infant Baptism and he ordered burning a woman just because she refused the infant baptism for her child saying that baptism should be done only after the child confess the faith.

Heb 7:3 mentions about Son of God, and if He believed that Son of God has Mother, then he would have not likened Melchizedek to Son of God. He did it because both Melchizedek and Son of God has no Mother, which is the common point for both. Ask your kids whether my interpretation is correct or not, they would have not been contaminated with human theology.

Please note Human Syllogism doesn't work sometimes.

 

I think I have explained my view enough.
Nevertheless if you cannot understand, please ask your kids to read and interpret Heb 7:3,and ask whether Bible denies Son of God has mother.

 

Are you denying the virgin birth?
