No, Mary was not the mother of God. In the bible it states that "God never bagan, and he will never end."

Absolutely not. Jesus was God dweling in the flesh, and we can truly say that Mary gave birth to the flesh, but if you think that the divinity itself that dwelt in that flesh temple had not existed prior to Mary, you have not read the scriptures that attest to it. As the incarnate Word, Jesus not only precedes Mary, but he also precedes Mary's ancestors. As he says, "Before Abraham was, I am." Moreover, this Word is that God by which all things have come into existance, and by which all are sustained. By this Word also, are all ruled and judged. Including Mary. This honest woman would never claim upon herself the things spoken of her today. As a matter of fact, she called herself blessed at the annunciation, which meaning is that she rightly evaluated herself as unworthy to recieve the honor of bearing the flesh vessel in which the pre-existant fulness of God would dwell. Namely, our Lord Christ. +5

No, only in Irish exclamations such as, "Holy Mary Mother of God, would you look at the state of your school shoes boy!"

Was God breastfed?

No, Mary was the mother of Jesus.

Mmm... I suppose she was the mother of Jesus, who was supposedly God, so in a way she gave birth to siamese twins that weren't twins on the outside but were on the inside! What an amazing revelation! That totally never occurred to me before!

Mary, mary, such a grim town, it's worse than Karaman

Mary gave birth to God on earth...Mother of an earthly God...The word became Flesh...Christ is part of the holy trinity..

Yes and no. She was the mother of his earthly body, but not the soul.

Mary is the mother of Jesus christ: The christian prophet (pbuh) God has no parents nor sons he is the one and only God Read this verse of the Holy Qur'an: ------------------------------------------------------ In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful 1) Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allâh, (the) One 2) Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks) 3) He begets not, nor was He begotten. (3 4) And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

if Jesus (who is god) is the son of god .. Then --> the mother of the son of god (who is god) should be the mother of God God is one.. has no son ..

The New Testament begins its account of Mary's life with the Annunciation, the appearance to her of the angel Gabriel heralding her divine selection to be mother of Jesus. However, early non-biblical writings state that she was the daughter of Joachim and Saint Anne. The Bible records Mary's role in key events of the life of Jesus from his virgin birth to his crucifixion. Other apocryphal writings tell of her subsequent death and bodily assumption into heaven. A number of important doctrines concerning Mary are held by Christian churches. Primary among these are that Mary lived a sinless life, and that as mother of Jesus, she became Theotokos, literally the "God-bearer", or "Mother of God". This doctrine was confirmed by the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in the year 431. Christians of the major ancient traditions including the Catholic and the Orthodox offer prayers to God through Mary and venerate her as intercessor and mother of the church. Many Protestants, however, do not follow these devotions. Mary is also honoured in Islam as the virgin mother of Jesus. In Jewish Toledot Yeshu Jesus was recorded as the son of Mary and Joseph ben Pantera.

Immaculate Conception and Assumption The Marian doctrines are, for Fundamentalists, among the most bothersome of the Catholic Church’s teachings. In this tract we’ll examine briefly two Marian doctrines that Fundamentalist writers frequently object to—the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption. The Immaculate Conception It’s important to understand what the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is and what it is not. Some people think the term refers to Christ’s conception in Mary’s womb without the intervention of a human father; but that is the Virgin Birth. Others think the Immaculate Conception means Mary was conceived "by the power of the Holy Spirit," in the way Jesus was, but that, too, is incorrect. The Immaculate Conception means that Mary, whose conception was brought about the normal way, was conceived without original sin or its stain—that’s what "immaculate" means: without stain. The essence of original sin consists in the deprivation of sanctifying grace, and its stain is a corrupt nature. Mary was preserved from these defects by God’s grace; from the first instant of her existence she was in the state of sanctifying grace and was free from the corrupt nature original sin brings. When discussing the Immaculate Conception, an implicit reference may be found in the angel’s greeting to Mary. The angel Gabriel said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28). The phrase "full of grace" is a translation of the Greek word kecharitomene. It therefore expresses a characteristic quality of Mary. The traditional translation, "full of grace," is better than the one found in many recent versions of the New Testament, which give something along the lines of "highly favored daughter." Mary was indeed a highly favored daughter of God, but the Greek implies more than that (and it never mentions the word for "daughter"). The grace given to Mary is at once permanent and of a unique kind. Kecharitomene is a perfect passive participle of charitoo, meaning "to fill or endow with grace." Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the angel’s visit. In fact, Catholics hold, it extended over the whole of her life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying grace from the first moment of her existence. Fundamentalists’ Objections Fundamentalists’ chief reason for objecting to the Immaculate Conception and Mary’s consequent sinlessness is that we are told that "all have sinned" (Rom. 3:23). Besides, they say, Mary said her "spirit rejoices in God my Savior" (Luke 1:47), and only a sinner needs a Savior. Let’s take the second citation first. Mary, too, required a Savior. Like all other descendants of Adam, she was subject to the necessity of contracting original sin. But by a special intervention of God, undertaken at the instant she was conceived, she was preserved from the stain of original sin and its consequences. She was therefore redeemed by the grace of Christ, but in a special way—by anticipation. Consider an analogy: Suppose a man falls into a deep pit, and someone reaches down to pull him out. The man has been "saved" from the pit. Now imagine a woman walking along, and she too is about to topple into the pit, but at the very moment that she is to fall in, someone holds her back and prevents her. She too has been saved from the pit, but in an even better way: She was not simply taken out of the pit, she was prevented from getting stained by the mud in the first place. This is the illustration Christians have used for a thousand years to explain how Mary was saved by Christ. By receiving Christ’s grace at her conception, she had his grace applied to her before she was able to become mired in original sin and its stain. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that she was "redeemed in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son" (CCC 492). She has more reason to call God her Savior than we do, because he saved her in an even more glorious manner! But what about Romans 3:23, "all have sinned"? Have all people committed actual sins? Consider a child below the age of reason. By definition he can’t sin, since sinning requires the ability to reason and the ability to intend to sin. This is indicated by Paul later in the letter to the Romans when he speaks of the time when Jacob and Esau were unborn babies as a time when they "had done nothing either good or bad" (Rom. 9:11). We also know of another very prominent exception to the rule: Jesus (Heb. 4:15). So if Paul’s statement in Romans 3 includes an exception for the New Adam (Jesus), one may argue that an exception for the New Eve (Mary) can also be made. Paul’s comment seems to have one of two meanings. It might be that it refers not to absolutely everyone, but just to the mass of mankind (which means young children and other special cases, like Jesus and Mary, would be excluded without having to be singled out). If not that, then it would mean that everyone, without exception, is subject to original sin, which is true for a young child, for the unborn, even for Mary—but she, though due to be subject to it, was preserved by God from it and its stain. The objection is also raised that if Mary were without sin, she would be equal to God. In the beginning, God created Adam, Eve, and the angels without sin, but none were equal to God. Most of the angels never sinned, and all souls in heaven are without sin. This does not detract from the glory of God, but manifests it by the work he has done in sanctifying his creation. Sinning does not make one human. On the contrary, it is when man is without sin that he is most fully what God intends him to be. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was officially defined by Pope Pius IX in 1854. When Fundamentalists claim that the doctrine was "invented" at this time, they misunderstand both the history of dogmas and what prompts the Church to issue, from time to time, definitive pronouncements regarding faith or morals. They are under the impression that no doctrine is believed until the pope or an ecumenical council issues a formal statement about it. Actually, doctrines are defined formally only when there is a controversy that needs to be cleared up or when the magisterium (the Church in its office as teacher; cf. Matt. 28:18–20; 1 Tim. 3:15, 4:11) thinks the faithful can be helped by particular emphasis being drawn to some already-existing belief. The definition of the Immaculate Conception was prompted by the latter motive; it did not come about because there were widespread doubts about the doctrine. In fact, the Vatican was deluged with requests from people desiring the doctrine to be officially proclaimed. Pope Pius IX, who was highly devoted to the Blessed Virgin, hoped the definition would inspire others in their devotion to her. The Assumption The doctrine of the Assumption says that at the end of her life on earth Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven, just as Enoch, Elijah, and perhaps others had been before her. It’s also necessary to keep in mind what the Assumption is not. Some people think Catholics believe Mary "ascended" into heaven. That’s not correct. Christ, by his own power, ascended into heaven. Mary was assumed or taken up into heaven by God. She didn’t do it under her own power. The Church has never formally defined whether she died or not, and the integrity of the doctrine of the Assumption would not be impaired if she did not in fact die, but the almost universal consensus is that she did die. Pope Pius XII, in Munificentissimus Deus (1950), defined that Mary, "after the completion of her earthly life" (note the silence regarding her death), "was assumed body and soul into the glory of heaven." The possibility of a bodily assumption before the Second Coming is suggested by Matthew 27:52–53: "[T]he tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many." Did all these Old Testament saints die and have to be buried all over again? There is no record of that, but it is recorded by early Church writers that they were assumed into heaven, or at least into that temporary state of rest and happiness often called "paradise," where the righteous people from the Old Testament era waited until Christ’s resurrection (cf. Luke 16:22, 23:43; Heb. 11:1–40; 1 Pet. 4:6), after which they were brought into the eternal bliss of heaven. No Remains There is also what might be called the negative historical proof for Mary’s Assumption. It is easy to document that, from the first, Christians gave homage to saints, including many about whom we now know little or nothing. Cities vied for the title of the last resting place of the most famous saints. Rome, for example, houses the tombs of Peter and Paul, Peter’s tomb being under the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. In the early Christian centuries relics of saints were zealously guarded and highly prized. The bones of those martyred in the Coliseum, for instance, were quickly gathered up and preserved—there are many accounts of this in the biographies of those who gave their lives for the faith. It is agreed upon that Mary ended her life in Jerusalem, or perhaps in Ephesus. However, neither those cities nor any other claimed her remains, though there are claims about possessing her (temporary) tomb. And why did no city claim the bones of Mary? Apparently because there weren’t any bones to claim, and people knew it. Here was Mary, certainly the most privileged of all the saints, certainly the most saintly, but we have no record of her bodily remains being venerated anywhere. Complement to the Immaculate Conception Over the centuries, the Fathers and the Doctors of the Church spoke often about the fittingness of the privilege of Mary’s Assumption. The speculative grounds considered include Mary’s freedom from sin, her Motherhood of God, her perpetual virginity, and—the key—her union with the salvific work of Christ. The dogma is especially fitting when one examines the honor that was given to the ark of the covenant. It contained the manna (bread from heaven), stone tablets of the ten commandments (the word of God), and the staff of Aaron (a symbol of Israel’s high priesthood). Because of its contents, it was made of incorruptible wood, and Psalm 132:8 said, "Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might." If this vessel was given such honor, how much more should Mary be kept from corruption, since she is the new ark—who carried the real bread from heaven, the Word of God, and the high priest of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ. Some argue that the new ark is not Mary, but the body of Jesus. Even if this were the case, it is worth noting that 1 Chronicles 15:14 records that the persons who bore the ark were to be sanctified. There would be no sense in sanctifying men who carried a box, and not sanctifying the womb who carried God himself! After all, wisdom will not dwell "in a body under debt of sin" (Wis. 1:4 NAB). But there is more than just fittingness. After all, if Mary is immaculately conceived, then it would follow that she would not suffer the corruption in the grave, which is a consequence of sin [Gen. 3:17, 19]. Mary’s Cooperation Mary freely and actively cooperated in a unique way with God’s plan of salvation (Luke 1:38; Gal. 4:4). Like any mother, she was never separated from the suffering of her Son (Luke 2:35), and Scripture promises that those who share in the sufferings of Christ will share in his glory (Rom. 8:17). Since she suffered a unique interior martyrdom, it is appropriate that Jesus would honor her with a unique glory. All Christians believe that one day we will all be raised in a glorious form and then caught up and rendered immaculate to be with Jesus forever (1 Thess. 4:17; Rev. 21:27). As the first person to say "yes" to the good news of Jesus (Luke 1:38), Mary is in a sense the prototypical Christian, and received early the blessings we will all one day be given.

This is just one example of how adopting myths and teaching them as Bible truths confuse people. The Trinity doctrine was a 4th century invention says the New Catholic Encclopedia 1967, Volumn 14, p.299. Concerning the Council of Nicaea on May 20, 325 C.E. which Constintine preceeded over the Encyclopedia Britannica 1970 Volumn, 6, p.386 said: "the crucial formula expressing the relation of Christ to God 'of one substance with the father.' ....Overawed by the emperor, the bishops, with two exceptions, signed the creed, MANY OF THEM MUCH AGAINST THEIR INCLINATION." This dogma that Constantine championed was intended to put an end to dissentions within the 4th. century Church. However, it actually raised another issue; Was Mary, the Mother of God? So the Trinitarian dogma is a late 4th. century invention...It was not taught by Jesus and his disciples. This is just one example of how one lie or myth begets another

No, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute turn follower of Christ, most probably an apostle and presumed lover/wife of Christ. Virgin Mary was the mother of Christ. Nammu is the mother of the God celebrated on the bible.

Stranger things have happened. A Caesarian section at the moment of the big bang would bring a whole new perspective to the meaning of life.

Mary was the "earth" mother of Jesus. He was physically born from her body. God is a trinity. The father, son, and holy spirit. They together make one.

Jesus said, 'The Father and I are one', and He accepted worship from people. If He is not God, he is a false prophet and a liar. Mary was the mother of Jesus. If what He said can be trusted, then Mary must indeed be the mother of God Incarnate.

where did the idea that Mary is the mother of God originate? "The New Encyclopedia Britannica 198, Volumn 16, pages 326, 327 says: "Veneration of the mother of God received its impetus when...the pagan masses streamed into the church....their piety and religious consciousned=ss (that of pagans converted to Christianity) had been formed for millennia through the cult of the 'great mother' goddess and the 'divine virgin.'" What does the Bible say: "You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called "Son of the most high"...And so the child will be called "Son" of 'god." Luke 1:31-35. Catholic New Jerusalem Bible. That passage of scripture clearly states that Mary was the mother of the "Son of God," not of God himself. Could she have carried within her the One whom 'the heavens themselves cannot contain."? 1Kings 8:27. She never made such a claim. It is the teaching about the Trinity that has sown confusion over the identity of Mary. by proclaiming her Theotokos (Greek for God vearer) or "Mother of God", set the stage for Mary worship. The city of Ephesus where this church councel was held had for centuries been at the heart of idol worship celebrating the fertility goddess Artemis. So it was that many aspects of the worship of the image of Artemis that "fell from heaven," such as processions, were integrated into Mary Worship. Compare Matthew 13:53-56; Mark 3:3-35; Luke 11: 27, 28.

He said to him I am the God of the Christians, thats what he said...It doesn't matter he was healed and saved thats all that matters..Why he called out to mohamed was that he was frightened to die he was at deaths door and Christ brought him back...Ahmed, if we all are like Christ in his teachings no matter what religion background it would be heaven on Earth....

2 Corinthians (11) 13.For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

DOES GOD HAVE A MOTHER? as the ambulance bore him swiftly to gernelli hospital, rome, "john paul, bleeding profusely, softly murmured 'madonna, madonna' in polish." so read a news report of the attempt by a turkish gunman to assassinate pope john paul 11 in may of 1981. by appealing to mary in a terrible crisis, the pope highlighted the veneration that is directed to the divinely chosen, highly privileged woman who gave birth to Jesus and who is often called mother of God. this reverance for mary is very widespread and takes many different forms, which makes people wonder, 'how did it develop?' nearly 2000 years ago, mary, a young virgin woman living in jazareth of galilee, had a sublime experience: a heavenly messenger told her that she was to bear a son whom she was to call Jesus. mary asked how that could be since she was a virgin. "the holy spirit will come upon you' the angel answered and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. and so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.'"-luke 1:26-36, the jerusalem bible. thirty years later that "Son of God" conducted a dynamic preaching campaign and formed the christian congregation. during the next few centuries christianity went through great tribulations and also transformations. in time it became the official religion of the roman empire. differences of opinion also developed, including one relating to Christ: was he God the Son or the Son of God? the roman emperor constantine, a professed but unbaptized christian, called a special council of bishops of the church at nicea in the year 3252 to consider the question. as a result, the doctrine of the trinity became official dogma defining Jesus as coequal, coeternal, and "of one substance" with God. however, in the original nicene creed formulated at that council no mention was made of the virgin mary. since Jesus had been officially proclaimed "God," the next logical step, from the viewpoint of the church, was to proclaim mary "mother of God." this was done in 431 at the council of ephesus where she was defined as "theotokos," meaning "God bearer," or "God's mother." however, it took centuries before the cult of mary became widely widespread. dr.f. van der meer, in his book augustine the bishop, shows that in augustine's day (fifth century), and in the area of north africa, "mary had no place in popular devotion." nevertheless, by about the year 1000 the cult of mary was popular throughout europe, many churches being named after her, such as the famous notre dame (our lady) of paris. in 1854 the doctrine of the "immaculate conception" became dogma, ruling that mary was free from sin from the moment of conception. in 1950 pope pius Xll. all of this was very gratifying to the marian movement or those especially devoted to the cult of mary. wrote catholic author zsolt aradi in his book shrines to our lady around the world: "mary watches over the nations...from magnificent cathedrals and small road shrines; from the tops of mountains and the shores of the ocean...the veneration of mary...has become part of the landscape. thousands of churches mainly catholic and orthodox, but protestant also, are called mary's or st. mary's in saragossa, spain, there is a famous image of mary known as la virgen del pilar (the virgin of the pillar). a logical legend has it that mary was transported by angels from jerusalem to saragossa, met james the apostle there and left behind "a small column of jasper upon which there was placed a beautiful small statue of herself." says the book shrines to our lady around the world: "the sentiment of the saragossans toward their beloved virgen del pilar...is interwoven with their patriotism, with their nationality...they acclaim her as the leader of the nation." in south america, in 1930, argentina, uruguay, and paraguay recognized a local image our lady of lujan, as their protectress. adds aradi: "recently the argentine army chose the virgin of lujan as its patroness. and according to an old custom a regiment of the army was dedicated to her services. this regiment becomes her 'property' and the members call her 'la generala del lujan' [the lady general of lujan]." a national leader, a military commander, co-redemptrix of mankind, mother of all men, mediatrix of all graces, queen of all creation, mother of God, queen of heaven-all these titles and honors ate attributed to mary. as a result, many thinking catholics are seriously wondering if all of this is not going too far. wrote associate professor of theology at princeton seminary: "our violations of mary are legion...we have made her the queen of heaven." BUT WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? sincere students of the bible have great respect and warm love for mary as a faithful servant of God, chosen by him to play a vital role as mother of the messiah. they deeply appreciate her example as a humble, devoted follower of Jesus Christ. but they do not regard her as the mother of God. why not? simply because Gpd's word never refers to mary as "mother of God." note the example that Jesus himself set in addressing his mother at the marriage feast of cana. the account reads: "and the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: they have no wine. and Jesus saith to her: woman, what is that to me and to thee?" (john 2:3,4 douay, catholic version)once when he was speaking in public, a certain woman in the crowd said to him: "happy the woman that bore you and the breasts you sucked!"-obviously a fine opportunity to pay special honor to his mother. but, instead, Jesus said: "still happier those who hear the Word of God and keeep it!" (luke 11:27,28,jb)just before he died Jesus spoke to his mother and his beloved disciple john and said: "woman, behold thy son. after that, he saith to the disciple: behold thy mother."-john 19:26,27,dy. to sincere christians these references to mary in the bible teach plainly that Jesus took great care not to show special honor to his mother or to allow their relationship to influence him. the apostles followed his example. let us now examine the crucial question... IS JESUS GOD? again let God's word clarify the matter. when the angel announced Jesus birth to mary, he said: "the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called he Son of God.: (luke 1:35,dy) Jesus never claimed to be God. however, the jews accussed him of making himself God, but he corrected them and said: "i am the Son of God."-john 10:33-36,dy. (note: he did not say: "i am God the Son." this is a term used and common among trinitarians that want to believe God came to earth and took on a human form.) just before he died Jesus cried out: "my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (matthew 27:46,dy)after his resurrection he said: "i ascened to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God. (john 20:17 dy)on another occasion he said: "the Father is greater than i." (john 14:28 dy) obviously, God, Jehovah, (or, Yahweh), does not need to pray to anyone. but Jesus prayed often to his Father in heaven, at times "with a strong cry and tears...and whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered." (hebrews 5:7,8, dy)Almighty God, the Father, could never die. but our hope of salvation rests on the fact that Jesus did die. for these and many other very cogent reasons, true christians maintain that Jesus is not God, but, rather, the Son, and therefore that mary is notthe "mother of God." moreover, Jesus once said: "God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth." (john 4:24 jb) on the other hand, the cult of mary has diverted the devotion and worship of millions of sincere people from the Creator of a creature. this is tragic in view of the bible's condemnation of those "who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator." romans 1:25 dy. lech walesa, the popular polish leader, is reported to have said, when under heavy strain: "no, no, i'm not scared. i always have mother mary behind me." but is he looking to the true source of protection? students of the bible, when under stress, will follow this inspired counsel: do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard hour heartss and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."-phillippians 4:6,7. for more information go to www.watchtower.org
