Why do YOU .. ,Josiah, want mary to be called "the mother of God " when Even the lord NEver gives her that title ?

-and pass the popcorn


As you know, I've stated MANY times that I could care less what you or anyone calls anything or anyone. If you READ that, you'll have your answer to this "question".

I have NEVER said ANYTHING about what anyone should or should not be called. You attacked these two teachings as "false, wrong and blasphemy" promoting instead the heresies of Arianism and Nestorianism. I'm defending the truth of Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13 against your heresies of Arianism and Nestorianism. I'm disagreeing with what you yourself stated is your ASSUMPTION of an invisible, non-stated point " number 3" that isn't there except in your wild, amazing imagination. If you READ the posts (and the Scriptures) - the words - you'd figured this out way back on page one. But because you seem to pay no attention to words, since you admit that your whole point is based on ASSUMPTIONS of your own wild imagination, strawmen of your OWN creation, invisible things not stated... well, this has gone one for 58 pages.




Josiah said:
Let's try this..... please READ each of the words here. Please do NOT read any invisible "words", only the ones that actually appear here. ASSUME nothing. Just READ the words, the words as they appear. And yes, I will be using English words because we use English on this website.


You have had two apologetics AGAINST these teachings:


1. The teachings of this title are "false, wrong and blasphemy."



There are two (and only two) teachings in these words, in this title:

1. Mary bore Jesus and may be correctly called his "Mother"

For this: See Matthew 1:18. What, specifically and verbatim, does Matthew call Mary in this verse?

2. This Jesus whom Mary bore may correctly be called "God."

For this: See Titus 2:13. What, specifically and verbatim, does Paul call Jesus in this verse?


For your apologetic #1 to be correct, the two teachings would need to be shown to be "false, wrong and blasphemous." But actually, they have been shown to be biblical, true and correct. Furthermore, your rebukes of these (coming verbatim from two ancient, universally condemned heresies - Arianism and Nestorianism) are indeed false.




2. We are forbidden to use terms, words and titles that JESUS did not specifically use in the Bible.


You have presented nothing to support this claim. Nothing.

And it seems unlikely that you regard it as anything other than silly or that you follow your own mandate here. If you have EVER used words that you can't prove JESUS used (such as "Bible, Trinity, Evangelical, Protestant, Sunday School, Bible Study, Praise Band, Website, Internet, Automobile, Television") then obviously you don't agree with yourself.



Now, you have TRIED at times to absurdly CHANGE the title. Here is your fundamental problem of not reading the words.... of paying no attention to what is actually said but rather deleting that and substituting instead your enormous, incredible ability to ASSUME. Crazy, laughable things such as "Mary - The Creator of the Creator" or "Mary - the Source of the Trinity" and other equally amazing, absurd things that no one has EVER actually said or written (again, the problem being your seeming inability to READ). Several of us have posted to you that NO ONE has EVER said or written or believed or affirmed or even dreamed up such crazy ideas or titles - but I don't think you READ any of those posts.

And you've TRIED to change it into other things, too. Such as "Jesus - The Goddess Mary's Son" As if the title is saying MARY may be called God when if you would just actually READ THE WORDS, it clearly is indicating that Jesus is the one who may be called "GOD." Here too, the problem is not with the Bible. It's not with Matthew 1:18 or Titus 2:13. It's in your inability or unwillingness to READ.... and perhaps the heresies of Arianism and Nestorianism that you keep alluding to and promoting... maybe you have a teacher(s) who is teaching you those heresies, I don't know. But the problem is not with these truths. It's with you.




And again: I NEVER said that anyone should or must call Mary anything. I wish you would actually READ THE WORDS written to you. I'm defending the theology against your Arianism and Nestorianism, I'm defending the words against your (absurd, laughable) substitutions, I'm disagreeing with your protests of what Matthew and Paul do in Scripture, but I've never remotely told you or anyone what they should or should not call anyone. It's SO frustrating when you don't READ THE WORDS but in stead of them, in lieu of them, in place of them, create your wild "assumptions."

I hope this helps.... But all this has been said MANY, MANY times over the past 58 pages.

have you ever heard the adage "actions speak louder then words "

you have not behaved throughout this thread as a person who doesn't care ... but ok .. i take you word for it .

so it is wel established .
the lord GOd never gives mary the Title "mother of God " .. he does not say it to her or about her .
it is a title given her by "men" with agenda .

now your response wil be either "no response .. or "whatever " .. -because you have said .. "you could care less "

after all there is no edification the the decile of the lord jesus in calling her that.
but there is danger of misdirecting the focus of a person causing them to place hope in her instead of Christ .
there for a man made erroneous title perpetuates more error and not righteousness . nothing that originates from the carnal nature ever perpetuates righteousness because that which is born of flesh Is flesh . and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit . the word of God comes forth from God and he is truth .
the Spirit of God has never nor ever will declare mary to be "the mother of God " .

AGAIN... so what? You use LOTS of words and titles that you can't prove God ever said. Since YOU don't believe your own argument... since you don't do what you claim we must.... since you reject your argument - why should we accept it?

I never said God uttered these 5 English words verbatim. Again, it would help if you actually READ things. What I said is that the two teachings ARE true, ARE biblical, ARE correct. In reaction to you claiming they are "false, wrong and blasphemy" and your promoting of two heresies to counter them: Arianism and Nestorianism. I DO care about defending key, biblical truths (Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13). I DO care about denouncing the heresies and heretic you promote. I don't care what specific titles you may or may not use when you speak English (I've never MANDATED such from you or anyone).




Try actually READING this. TRY, if you can, to READ each of the words here. Please do NOT read any invisible "words" of your own imagination, only the ones that actually appear here. Visible. Words. ASSUME nothing. Just READ the words, the words as they appear. And yes, I will be using English words because we use English on this website.

.

bro.. do you know what an impasse is ?

its what we reached on the topic a long time ago.. i dont even read your long posts here ..i skim over them looking to see if you adresse a simple question probing into "why" you maintain your stance.

you have said ,you think mary is "the mother of God" .. is a reasonably title . (even though the Lord has NEVER declared that title to her or Of her -proving that it is a title given by men .. not by God )

i maintain ..i will not call her that becaseu God never has . and i fully agree she is the mother of the son of man son of david son of God who became flesh and blood and whose name is JEsus . even the Lord God declared it to be such saying .. "this is my beloved SON in whom i am well pleased "
thus using direct scripture ONLY - nothing added nothing to explain.. Sh is the mother of JESUS . just as the scripture declares .

calling her the "mother of God " has the propensity to lead people into error and into error they do Go .. i have been in houses where peole have entire shrines set up to mary the mother of God and they kneel at the shrine and pray to her ..

in stark contrast .. NOT calling her the mother of God can lead NO one astray .
so it is advantageous to the truth to NOT call her that title (just as God has NOT )

but it is very advantageous to evil to call her the mother of God " in that .. the misrepresentation of the truth is what the devil uses to lead people astray .. as he did in the garden saying .. "did god really say " and thus sowing doubt .
so we observe that there is nothing to be gained in righteousness by calling her that title which God NEVER called her
but we see there is much advantage to the ways of UNrighteousness to do so .

so i will never cal you that .. and now you know why .

you Do call her that ..

i wish to know WHY . i do not wish to know your arguments .i simply wish to know what advantous is there to walking in the righteousness of the lord JEsus ,how am i edified , can i be led astray by NOT calling her that ?

God doesnt call her that .. why should I . by not doing it i cast no doubt on my faith ,commit no error , no sin and do not risk leading any one else astray and being accountable for doing so .

this ios an established point now .
the bible ,the scriptures inspired by the holy Spirit never bestows that title on MAry .

man does .

so , why do you defend the actions of man .

new question for you

DO you want me to folow MAN or to folow God ? - i shall follow the lord God .. he doesn't call mary that ,, neither shall I - i will NOT change this stance no mater what you post . i wil always consider doing a thing which opposes the word of God to be rebellious .
i will always maintain that God is before the creation of the world and he has No mother . the title means what the title says . and thus the title is incorrect ,is untrue ,is a lie and places a created figure is a place of equality to the lord and as such it is idolatry and blasphemy .

i dont care what man or woman a person defends .. when you defend it this much, you have an issue with idolatry . i would say no different to a person defending a sports team with this kind of fervor ..it is idolatry

so we are at an impasse on this topic .

the mary presented by the rcc -is not the same mary that the bible speaks of

the mary the bible speaks of

is NOT called the mother of God , any where in the scripture.
is NOT the queen of heaven
is NOT a co mediator
is NOT divine (born without sin )
is NOT a perpetual virgin
the person given all those attributes by the rcc is some one else entirely ( and it is known who ) but it is not the mary of the bible

Herein lies the problem (I bolded and underlined) of why you refuse to see Josiah's position on this. Josiah is right that you are assuming something that isn't always there. Sure, there are people who go astray but there are many, many others who do not. Which is what you refuse to believe given your choice of wording above.

i dont even read your posts


We know.


You don't read anything.
You haven't even read the title we're discussing.
You haven't read Matthew 1:18.
You haven't read Titus 2:13.
You haven't read about the two heresies you are promoting (Arianism and Nestorianism).

You just read your own posts..... and obsess over your own wild, incredible, amazing, crazy, silly strawmen of your own invention. Crazy, silly things that you've posted about since you've yet to actually READ the title we're discussing or any of the posts directed to you. Crazy, incredible strawmen you've invented: "Mary - the Goddess who Bore Jesus" and "Mary - the Creator of the Creator" "Mary - The Source of the Trinity" and other amazing things I can't believe ANYONE would even be able to create. IF you had just read the TITLE, these 59 pages would never have been consumed.




bro.. do you know what an impasse is ?


In your case, it's what happens when you don't READ.
You don't READ the title, you don't READ the Bible on this, you don't READ posts to you.
When you don't READ, nothing happens for you.


In your case, you hold to two heresies: Arianism and Nestorianism.
And thus you regard the teachings of Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13 to be "false, wrong and blasphemy."
For FIFTY NINE pages, you (and 2 or 3 others) have insisted these teachings are "wrong, false and blasphemy"


In your case, as we've witnessed so clearly and SO often, it's not just the two biblical teachings you denounce (promoting heresies and heretic instead) - but it's also a plethora of strawmen of your own wild, incredible imagination: things we all know (including you) NO ONE ON THE PLANET ever has stated or proclaimed or believed. Wild, silly, absurd things you've invented and then rebuked. Things that have nothing whatsoever to do with anything, crazy things like: "Mary - The Goddess Who Bore Jesus" and "Mary - Creator of the Creator" and "Mary - the Source of the Trinity.' You have never actually READ the title we're discussing. Thus, 59 pages of your amazingly and disturbing posts.





if you adresse a simple question probing into "why" you maintain your stance.


You never asked that. You kept asking why I WANT Mary to be called something (you never said what). But you would not quote where I said I wanted her to be called anything.


But I did tell why I defend the theology here:


1. Because it is the clear, verbatim teachings of Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13 Etc., etc., etc., etc.

2. Because it has been affirmed by the First, Third and Fifth Ecumenical Councils (embraced as true by virtually all Protestants)

3. Because affirming the two inseparable natures of Christ is CRITICAL to Christianity.

4. Because the views you are promoting are ancient, condemned, extremely dangerous heresies.



You've never engaged the actual title because it seems you've never read it, you aren't aware of it.
And you evidently aren't aware of the heresies you promote.
Instead, you impose these heresies against Scripture and promote the strawmen of your own AMAZING, incredible imagination in place of the title which it seems you've never read, you simply are unaware of.





i maintain ..i will not call her that becaseu God never has


We know. And it's silly.

You of course can choose to not use titles or words that you have no proof God ever did - but it's silly to condemn others for doing so. And of course, it means you can't use words or titles such as "Bible, Trinity, Sunday School, Bible Study, Youth, Praise Band, Contemporary Service, Altar Call, Evangelical, Denomination, Website, Automobile, Television, Internet, United States of America" and much more. I have a hunch you don't accept OR apply this rule of yours, you regard it as silly and don't use it. I've asked you why you insist on doing what you don't do - but, yeah, you've admitted: you don't read.






the propensity


Even if that were true (and you've not mentioned this, and you've done NOTHING - NOTHING - to show this is true) that would NOT make the two teachings "false, wrong and blasphemy" as you have been arguing for 59 pages. It would mean this - like everything - has the ability to be misunderstood. A point ALL of us supporting the title have admitted. LONG ago. But yeah, you admitted it: you don't read.


ANYTHING and EVERYTHING can be misunderstood and misapplied. No one has denied that. In fact, I specifically have stated - several times - that that can happen. I said that way back in post #14. Several defending the title have said that. But yeah, you admitted it, you don't read. But admitting that anything and everything has the possibility of misunderstanding and misapplication (everything does!!!!), does NOT support your view that these two teachings are "false, wrong and blasphemy." Or that ergo Arianism and Nestorianism are to be supported rather than condemned. But yeah, I know, you don't read. You've finally admitted why you've pushed this to 59 pages: it's not just because of your Arianism and Nestorianism, but because you just don't READ. You haven't read the title we're discussing. You haven't read about your heresies. You haven't read the posts here.






in stark contrast .. NOT calling her the mother of God can lead NO one astray .


Wrong. Irrelevant to these two teachings being "false, wrong and blasphemy" as you have insisted, but wrong. We've TRIED to tell you about your Nestorianism.... but like you said, you don't read. Actually, if you had read, you'd know that this very point IS what lead Nestorius into heresy - it did a LOT, a LOT of harm and lead MANY astray. But again, as you admitted, you don't read. GREAT harm comes by denoucing the two inseparable natures of Christ! This was explained to you..... you were encouraged to learn about the heresy you've been promoting.... but like you said, you don't read.






new question for you DO you want me to folow MAN or to folow God ?


You are following Nestorius.

I'm simply affirming Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13.

and by not calling her a title that God never gave her .. none are led astray .

i think i wil stick to leading "none" astray . after all, we shall be held to account . and dont personalise it ,it is not josiahs position .. it was around before he came alone .it is rome's position .josiah has been raised having it taught to him and he like many simply, won't let go of the tradition of do so.

its not a problem to me or any one "not" doing something God has never told us to do.. it is not disobedience nor sin .so there is no problem .

but if conscience is goaded and one feels the need to defend and justify what they do.. that speaks loud enough for me - the more you defend this godless title ..the more i am convinced if the sinful nature of it .
your thinking in the mindset of your own surroundings .. but go out around the world and observe the extent to which this error has led people astray in the billions by number over the generations . -this is not a small deal. in the differing cultures all manner of wickedness in idolatry is practiced under the title "mary mother of God " parades carrying a life size statue of mary down city streets where they WORSHIP he in every sense of the word .. not veneration mind .. out right worship and prayer .. hundreds of thousands of people crowding to touch the statue as it passes ..

oh yes it doesn't just lead a few " astray " it has lead multitudes to the pit of hell

no i wil not join you in it nor have any part of it .

See post 586.


Very wrong.

We've TRIED to tell you about your Nestorianism.... but like you said, you don't read. Denying this very matter (just like you, echoing him) is what lead to Nestorius and his HERESY. Actually, if you had read, you'd know that this very point IS what lead Nestorius astray, what lead him into heresy - it did a LOT, a LOT of harm and lead MANY astray. Nestorianism (and also the heresy of Arianism that you've also taught) nearly destroyed Christianity. Its a heresy you too have conveyed and promoted - for the same reason, in the same way (you are just echoing Nestorius). GREAT harm comes by denouncing these Scripture. GREAT harm comes from denying the two inseparable natures of Christ! MANY have been lead astray by regarding these as "false, wrong and blasphemy" as you have, as Nestorius did, as Nestorianism did. This was explained to you..... you were encouraged to learn about the heresy you've been promoting.... but like you said, you don't read.


Actually, affirming the two truths (as presented by Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13, etc., etc., etc., etc), affirming the two inseparable natures of Christ - does no harm, truth does no harm. It's denying that.... calling that "false, wrong and blasphemy" .... echoing the heresy of Nestorianism... that does GREAT, GREAT harm and leads many astray.

1. I've not taken anything anywhere. As I've stated, I am responding to the accusations that these two teachings are "false, wrong and blasphemous" and to the affirmations of Nestorianism and (to a lesser degree) Arianism.

2. My understanding is that typing in all caps is shouting. Highlighting some words via italics, embolding, underlining, coloring or capitalization is not a rule violation and is not shouting. They are simply ways to emphasize. A very small minority of my words in posts (unlike yours) are italicized, colored, embolded, underlined or capitalized.

3. Please read posts 572, 586 and 590. Thank you very much in advance for doing so!

Herein lies the problem (I bolded and underlined) of why you refuse to see Josiah's position on this. Josiah is right that you are assuming something that isn't always there. Sure, there are people who go astray but there are many, many others who do not. Which is what you refuse to believe given your choice of wording above.

There is a difference between assumption and said evidences. What the title means to imply and cause is no mystery.
That Mary's head is uncovered and shorn in likeness to the Pharaoh.


For the sake of the house, instruction must be Heard. Saul/Paul was very clear.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3But I would have you know, that the
head of every man is Christ;
and the(Christ is the Head of Joseph)
head of the woman is the man; and the( Joseph is the Head of Mary)
head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.



Maybe if the beast takes the 3 ribs out of its mouth.
4 beast, one to each section of what makes up the whole heart of something that is desolate.

And what Defiles a man if his head is a woman?

Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts

3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

4
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.



If anyone has a hard time following the meanings just let me know.

I do not type in caps or underline or bold so not sure what you mean by this and the point you are making is the same one that you keep making, I am not disagreeing with point one or two, only with the title

the mary presented by the rcc -is STILL not the same mary that the bible speaks of -no mater how much caps underlining or colour is added .

the mary the bible speaks of

is NOT called the mother of God , any where in the scripture.
is NOT the queen of heaven
is NOT a co mediator
is NOT divine (born without sin )
is NOT a perpetual virgin
the person given all those attributes by the rcc is some one else entirely ( and it is known who ) but it is not the mary of the bible

This thread has nothing to do with RCC beliefs. Don't divert from the true topic. We won't follow.

The Bible never once uses the title "Bible" either.


But you have.
Three times in the same post.


You insist it is false, wrong and blasphemy to use a title never specifically found in the Bible.
It's blasphemy you claim to use a title or term that Jesus never used.
It's forbidden to use a title never found specifically in the Bible.
But you display that you find that rule you made silly.
You don't agree with it.
You don't follow it.

No one has ever said that the five consecutive words of the title are found in the Bible (you'd know that if you read). But the two teachings of it are. Matthew 1:18 and Titus 2:13.



Read posts 572, 586 and 590. I know you admitted you don't read, but try it.

The topic is.. Why was mary neccasary.
The well established answer is.. She wasnt a virgin was. And she happened to be betrothed to joseph who is of the line of david.
Then the topic morphed to the topic of the title "mother of God"
And it is clear that God has never given thisctitle to mary.. It is not in scripture.it is a title which leads people into error.it does not originate in God.
And a summary is

the mary presented by the rcc -who happens to be the first to ever use this title for her to my knowledge -is STILL not the same mary that the bible speaks of -no mater how much caps underlining or colour is added .

the mary the bible speaks of

is NOT called the mother of God , any where in the scripture.
is NOT the queen of heaven
is NOT a co mediator
is NOT divine (born without sin )
is NOT a perpetual virgin
the person given all those attributes by the rcc is some one else entirely ( and it is known who ) but it is not the mary of the bible.

NONE of these terms are used in reference to mary in the scriptures .they ARE ALL added in by man .
whether or not you like the fact ior dislike that fact ..it is the case .

How childish

Does using the word bible detract from the glory of God?does it honor another in his place ?just another straw man.

Until you present the words "mother of God "..from direct scripture i will never call her that and will always consider the title to be man made with evil agenda ..untrue..and blasphemy.
