Hi VP,
Still dancing! But, now I can see why -- you study the "Creed" instead of the Bible, God's Word!
So, with you it is always -- what does the Vatican say, not what does the Bible say? Okay, whatever rings your chimes.
Since you cannot directly answer the question and insist upon dancing, we will just move on.
But, before we do -- since I know we have one God, manifested (revealed) in three distinct Persons -- I will try once again to see if you are wearing Vatican blinders:
Was God born? If so, He is a created being and not God. The Bible tells us that God is eternal, preexisting. How does one who has never been born have a mother?
Did God die? If so, He is not God. The Bible tells us that God is eternal, preexisting. If God is preexisting, eternity to eternity -- how can He die?
Yet, the human nature of God the Son, whom we call Jesus was born and did die. God is LORD, the human nature of Jesus is Lord.
So, VP, please explain to me how God who was never born -- HAS A MOTHER.
I am really eager to hear you explain that.
If you cannot answer the questions, I will understand. But, if you are afraid to answer the questions -- that is another story. Which is it, my Friend -- CANNOT or AFRAID?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

Splain to me.
Luke 24:
36 ¶And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he hewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus itbehoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 ¶And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 ¶And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
