Mother of God of Jerusalem

“Mother of Christ”...?
Straight from the source, excellent post. Thanks.
I’m not aware of any organized body that fully agrees with Nestorius—since he was condemned as a heretic by the unified Church (East and West) during his lifetime. This was because he denied a union between God’s eternal nature and Jesus’ human nature was possible—as shown here. Logically then Jesus would have to be two persons, not one, God the eternal Son being one, Jesus the man being another. This deconstructs Jesus, making His human nature not simultaneously divine. This is not orthodoxy—and gave birth to a group called the Nestorians.
What is your point?
I thought it was an interesting article - a bit confusing but interesting. But don’t agree with it. Also wondering why you thought it warranted its own thread, rather than just keeping it in the thread you posted it to 10 minutes ago?
What sith the Scriptures?
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” (John 1:1-2)
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotton of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconcilation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconcilation.” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
“But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were made under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” (Galatians 4:4-5)
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake to unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High;”
We could sum it all up with: “He that gets the Son gets it all!”
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and He that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” (1 John 5:11-12)

As one Biblical scholar said to me, “No real heresy ever dies.”
He was right, you can still find folks who would find Nestorius’ heresy as supporting their YOPIS theology.
Mary was the mother of Jesus. You either believe Jesus was both God and man or you don’t. I believe.
Don’t agree....
...the scriptures do indeed speak of the Godhead contrary to what this article speaks....Christ was fully God and fully man.
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form Col 2:9
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word ...Heb. 1:3
Jesus is not merely a man who had God within Him.... He is God in the flesh.
Further Jesus’ two natures are not “mixed together”... They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus......called the Hypostatic Union.
