“Because they reject the title “Mother of God” — a title which is Christological. It is about the Blessed Mother only in a secondary way; the importance of “Mother of God” is that it tells us who Jesus is. For those who want to know.”
I will disagree with your expressed opinion for Biblical reasons:
1. God never, ever uses the title Mother of God.
2. No Apostle ever uses the title Mother of God.
3. No Christian writings, artwork or historical works ever us the title Mother of God before 100 AD. As such, it is certainly not the Apostle’s teaching.
4. The identity of Christ as God doesn’t rely on this title in any way.
5. Since the title is never used in Scripture, it is unnecessary to “tell us who Jesus Christ is.”
6. It is one further step in making Blessed Mary into an idol and demigoddess, instead of the humble servant of God that she is - flaws and all. God honored her in exactly the way He chose to do so. We should not do less. We should not do more.
Best.
1. So what. God never uses the word “Trinity” either.
2. We don’t know that.
3. The first half millennium of the Church’s history was a serious of vigorous — very vigorous — arguments about who Jesus is. Because the Apostolic age lasted till about 100, heretical christologies had trouble taking root, but they were all over the place by the end of the next century.
4. There is no better descriptor of who Jesus is. What do you have to say about the Redeemer’s dual natures? Do you believe he has a divine will as well as a human will? Do you believe Jesus is fully God and fully man? If so, what does that mean, and how else would you express it?
5. The original deposit of the faith is not entirely scriptural — as scripture itself testifies, over and over again. Furthermore the emergence of heretical christologies proves that Scripture alone wasn’t getting the job done.
6. This ridiculous and hysterical claim is utterly without foundation. More to the point, the Blessed Virgin had no flaws. If she had, your redemption would be fraudulent and void.
If Scripture alone contains the only acceptable descriptors about Jesus, why do you respond in words of your own devising?
Answer my earlier questions please: How many natures does Jesus have? How many wills? If more than one, how are they related? When were they acquired? Does one predominate over the other?
