@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie I appreciate the willingness. I don't see how it's possible to give birth to a nature, considering she gave birth to a person. But until then! God bless you.

@Salih9t6 No, they completely emasculate Gandalf here. I'm glad it was left out of the theatrical cut.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie Christ is not God the Father. He is God the Son. That's rhe distinction, and Mary being the mother of God still stands.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie No, she isn't, but she gave birth to a divine person with two natures. His divine nature always was, while his human nature had a beginning. But that doesn't change that Mary gave birth to a divine person, thus the mother of God (the Son).

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie Christ's two natures cannot be separated. The implication in your position is that Christ wasn't divine at birth, or it was divorced from his human nature. That's just not true and leads to greater heresies.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie Mary didn't give birth to a nature. She gave birth to a divine person with two natures, friend. This heresy has long been identified and rejected. I sincerely urge you to read about Nestorianism.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie I went to Joseph because that was your first analogy point. Do you believe that God became actively involved in salvation history through Mary, so Christ's lineage a
is a special case that reflects those of humanity but is set apart because he is a divine person with two natures?

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MadeiraCalm @prolifefrenchie You're right, there's no direct quotation in scripture that points to the trinity, but I'm not solo scriptura. In fact, solo scriptura is refuted in the Bible.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MadeiraCalm @prolifefrenchie I'm good faith, I'll answer your questions, but you haven't asked any...?

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MadeiraCalm @prolifefrenchie Sorry, you did answer my first question.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MadeiraCalm @prolifefrenchie Are you Sola or Solo Scriptura?

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MadeiraCalm @prolifefrenchie Do you believe in the Trinity?

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MikeDeHart67 @prolifefrenchie I think we are contesting degree vs kind here, which may not pit us against each other as much as I initially thought.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MikeDeHart67 @prolifefrenchie If you accept those things and that she is a perfect creation, which elevates her to the highest degree but not a different kind of human, then we agree on this.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie And, I might add, you treat the Holy Family as if it's constituents had no theologically significant dimensions or God the Father's direct involvement, which makes considerable berth for the mystery of the Incarnation and the nature of the Trinity.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie The logical denotation of stepfather assumes a substitute by death or divorce, none of which applies to the Holy Family. Joseph had no role in the biological formation of Christ. That was Mary and the Holy Spirit, so you'll need a better analogy.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@MikeDeHart67 @prolifefrenchie This is going to bring us right back to square 1. Mary is the Theotokos, the Mother of God, the Second Eve, the Arc of the New Covenant. Want me to keep going?

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@Brain9993733052 @prolifefrenchie No, that is neither biblical nor part of Tradition.

[Dr. Shade @DrShade2]

@prolifefrenchie @imcoolchristian I believe I understand what you mean. Two things can be true - sex within marriage is required, and it can he tragic depending on the qualifiers you are listing. Correct?
