Is Mary the mother of Jesus Christ Our Lord and God? Or is she the mother of the man Jesus? That’s where the nestorians got into trouble, they divided Christ into two persons in one body.

The Nestorians may have divided Jesus The Christ wrong, but I say you divide the Scriptures wrong.

Getting ready to carve up Gaul for his history narrative, Julius Caesar began with,"Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est." That is, all of Gaul was divided into three contiguous parts.

Similarly, from the view if the Cross experience, one might say, "Omnus Christus in quattuor partes divisa est."

At the Cross, the God-man Jesus was divided into four parts, each of which wound up in a different sphere:

(a) His spirit was yielded up into the Hands of The Father (Luke 23:46).

(b) His soul went to Paradise at that time (Luke 23:43)

(c) His lifeless body went into a rock tomb (Luke 23:52,53).

(d) His incorruptible blood (1 Peter 1:18-19) containing life (Leviticus 17:11), together with built-up thoracic/pericardial edema fluids, poured out of His wounded body onto the ground (John 19:33-34).

Now, I ask you three questions:

(1) How much of the integrated person, body, soul, and spirit, was begotten of Mary, and how much was begotten of The Father; that is, of Him, how much was she the mother as a contributor to any part of Him?

(2) What form of Jesus' body do you insist is to be found in the "bread"? (a) His pre-death body; (b) His dead body in the tomb; or (c) His post-resurrection and ascended body He now inhabits.

(3) What do we do about His Blood, if we keep making more and more of it by converting ordinary wine (with a high percentage of alcohol for Catholics and Lutherans), since it is incorruptible, and ought to just keep building up and up and up, even though passing through the human digestive tract?

Take your time, and make sure you've got this all right with the published material in the Catechism, eh?

(And let me say, I don't have a problem about explaining any of it in a reasonable, scripturally-acceptable way. You first.)

But I don't believe in the chatechism and you believe the Bible

we align in only one sphere

Why not use that ?
