The Annunciation (detail) by Philippe de Champaigne
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Lk 1:31-35, Douay-Rheims Version)
Is Mary the Mother of God?
Of course, Mary became the Mother of God when she conceived, gestated and delivered the Son of God who was God that chose to become man.
Only the idiots or the antichrists say Mary is not the Mother of God.
Are you one of those idiots or those antichrists?  If so, contemplate on the following truths of God and be enlightened so you will not be counted among the idiots and the antichrists any seconds longer.
The Bible positively identifies Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ:
  • Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.  (Mt 1:16)
  • Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. (Mt 1:18)
  • And on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  (Mt 2:11)
  • Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?  (Mt 13:55)
  • And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted” (Lk 2:34)
  • All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.  (Acts 1:14)
Elizabeth positively identifies the fruit of Mary’s womb (Jesus Christ) is her Lord:
  • When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.  And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”  (Lk 1:41-43)
According to the perverted theology of Protestants, the Lord mothered by Mary is not God.  Hence, the Protestants scoff every time Catholics addresses Mary as the Mother of God.
To the Protestants, the ejaculation of Elizabeth, “Mother of my Lord,” means anything except “Mother of my God.”  If we are to ride on with their idiocy, then to the Protestants “Mother of my Lord” means anything like: Mother of my Lord of the rings; Mother of my Lord of the flies; Mother of my Drug Lord; Mother of my Warlord; Mother of my Landlord; Mother of my Dark Lord; and whatsoever Mother of my Lord whatnots, as long as it is not Mother of my God.
Is the Lord of Elizabeth that was conceived in Mary’s womb a mediocre Lord, as the Protestants would have us deceived, or the God of Israel Himself?
Elizabeth said to Mary:
  • And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  (Lk 1:43)
Elizabeth is a descendant of the Hebrews’ high priest Aaron, a brother of Moses:
  • In the days of Herod, King of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah of the priestly division of Abijah; his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.  (Lk 1:5)
As a full-blooded Israelite from the priestly clan of Aaron, Elizabeth is under oath to the Shema, that is, the Jewish confession of faith made up of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21 and Numbers 15:37-41:
  • “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone!  Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.  Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today.  Drill them into your children. Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.  Bind them at your wrist as a sign and let them be as a pendant on your forehead.  Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.”  (Deut 6:4-9)
  • If, then, you truly heed my commandments which I enjoin on you today, loving and serving the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul, I will give the seasonal rain to your land, the early rain and the late rain, that you may have your grain, wine and oil to gather in; and I will bring forth grass in your fields for your animals. Thus you may eat your fill.  But be careful lest your heart be so lured away that you serve other gods and worship them.  For then the wrath of the LORD will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land he is giving you.  “Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them at your wrist as a sign, and let them be a pendant on your forehead.  Teach them to your children, speaking of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.  And write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates, so that, as long as the heavens are above the earth, you and your children may live on in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would give them. (Deut 11:13-21)
  • The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that they and their descendants must put tassels on the corners of their garments, fastening each corner tassel with a violet cord.  When you use these tassels, let the sight of them remind you to keep all the commandments of the LORD, without going wantonly astray after the desires of your hearts and eyes.  Thus you will remember to keep all my commandments and be holy to your God.  I, the LORD, am your God who, as God, brought you out of Egypt that I, the LORD, may be your God.” (Num 15:37-41)
Lest some of the depraved unbelievers will say that the Shema is no longer in effect during the time of Elizabeth, let Jesus educate them:
  • One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”  Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’”  (Mk 12:28-30)
Therefore beyond any reasonable doubt, when Elizabeth, who at that time was filled with the Holy Spirit and inspired her to say to Mary:
  • “And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my LORD should come to me (Lk 1:43)?”
She is actually saying:
  • “And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my GOD should come to me?”
Even to the pioneering Christians, whose majority is composed of erudite Israelites under the obligation of the Shema, and especially Saul aka Paul who is tutored by Gamaliel, a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin, a teacher of the law, and respected by all the people (cf Acts 5:34), and who educated Paul strictly in their Hebraic ancestral law making him zealous for the one God, professes that Jesus Christ is the one Lord:
  • So about the eating of meat sacrificed to idols: we know that “there is no idol in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.”  Indeed, even though there are so-called gods in heaven and on earth (there are, to be sure, many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist.  (1 Cor 8:4-6)
And the one Lord, Jesus Christ, of the earliest Christians is the same God of Israel:
  • “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone!”  (Deut 6:4)
Thus, the idiotic theology of the Protestants that Mary is not the Mother of God falls flat on their faces.
To belabor the obvious, let us delve more on the veracity of Mary as the Mother of God.  But first, let’s resolve this issue:
What is the Lord Jesus Christ made of?
Man is composed wholly of spirit, soul, and body:
  • May the God of peace himself make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (1 Thes 5:23)
The Lord Jesus Christ as a Man is also composed of Spirit, Soul, and Body.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ is God in the flesh because His Spirit is the eternal Word who was God that became a Human Being (cf Jn 1:1, 14, 18).
In becoming a Human Being, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ (the eternal Word) was breathed into His rational Divine Soul and His Holy Body just like any other man as it was written:
  • Forasmuch as he knew not his maker and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit.  (Wisdom 15:11, Douay-Rheims Version)
To clarify things, the Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ is His Spirit which is the eternal Word who was God that was made Christ and Lord who created the world (cf Jn 1:1-3; Lk 2:11; Acts 2:36; Heb 1:8-10).  The Humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ is the union of His Spirit (the eternal Word aka Christ), His Soul, and His Body.
Thus, before becoming Man, the Lord Jesus Christ is pure Spirit like His Father who is Spirit (cf Jn 4:24).  When Jesus Christ said, “The Father and I are one (cf Jn 10:30),” He means the Father who is Spirit and His Spirit (the eternal Word aka Christ) are one God, that is, one divine nature, but two distinct persons.  Hence, both the Father and the Son are one God and one Creator:
  • In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  (Jn 1:1-3, Amplified Bible)
Is the Lord Jesus Christ conceived by Mary truly the God of Israel?
Yes, according to the numerous testimonies of the Bible, the Lord conceived by Mary, that is, the Spirit of Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ Himself is truly the God of Israel:
1. Mary is the Mother of my Lord who is: the Son of God praised by the Father as God twice; Anointed and called Lord (made Christ and Lord) who created the world with His own hands; the eternal Word (Christ) who was God and Creator of all things; the Author of life; and, the Source of God’s creation:
  • But of the Son: “Your throne, O God (SON), stands forever and ever; and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.  You loved justice and hated wickedness; therefore God (SON), your God (FATHER), anointed you (MADE CHRIST) with the oil of gladness above your companions”; and: “At the beginning, O Lord (MADE LORD), you established the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands.  They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment.  You will roll them up like a cloak, and like a garment they will be changed.  But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”  (Heb 1:8-12, emphasis mine)
  • That all may see and know, observe and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it.  (Is 41:20)
  • Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, his maker: You question me about my children, or prescribe the work of my hands for me!  It was I who made the earth and created mankind upon it; It was my hands that stretched out the heavens; I gave the order to all their host.  (Is 45:11-12)
  • In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.  And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].  There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.  This man came to witness, that he might testify of the Light, that all men might believe in it [adhere to it, trust it, and rely upon it] through him.  He was not the Light himself, but came that he might bear witness regarding the Light.  There it was—the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person.  He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].  (Jn 1:1-10, AMP)
  • He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him.  He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  (Col 1:13-17)
  • The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.  (Acts 3:15)
  • “To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write this:” ‘The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the source of God’s creation, says this:’ (Rv 3:14)
2. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, our God who is our redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, who was sent by the Father and His Holy Spirit:
  • Come near to me and hear this!  Not from the beginning did I speak it in secret; At the time it comes to pass, I am present: “Now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his spirit.”  Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I, the LORD, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go.  (Is 48:16-17)
Spirit beings like the demon knew the secret that the Spirit of Jesus Christ is the Holy One of Israel, a secret that even His (Jesus’) pure-blooded Israelite disciples have come to believe:
  • In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”  Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!”  (Mk 1:23-25)
  • “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?  I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”  Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm.  (Lk 4:34-35)
  • Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”  Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.  We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”  (Jn 6:67-69)
The demons have seen and knew that the Spirit of the Holy One of Israel and the Spirit of Jesus of Nazareth – the Holy One of God – is one and the same God, and they never thought that their Creator God became a Man that is why they tremble:
  • You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble.  (Jms 2:19)
In fact, when the demons led by Satan were evicted from Paradise, the Spirit of Jesus Christ witnessed their plummet into earth:
  • Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.”  (Lk 10:18)
3. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, of whom before and after Him no god was formed:
  • You are my witnesses, says the LORD, my servants whom I have chosen to know and believe in me and understand that it is I.  Before me no god was formed, and after me there shall be none.  It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me (a).  It is I who foretold, I who saved; I made it known, not any strange god among you; You are my witnesses, says the LORD.  I am God, yes, from eternity I am He (b); There is none who can deliver from my hand: who can countermand what I do?  Thus says the LORD, your redeemer (c), the Holy One of Israel: For your sakes I send to Babylon; I will lower all the bars, and the Chaldeans shall cry out in lamentation.  I am the LORD, your Holy One (d), the creator of Israel, your King (e).  (Is 43:10-15)
The following are Biblical cross-references to Isaiah 43:10-15 which proves that the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ is the LORD God, our redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
(a). It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me: Acts 13:23; Eph 5;23; Phil 3:20; 2 Tm 1:10; Ti 1:4, 2:13, 3:6; 2 Pt 1:1, 1:11, 2:20, 3:18.
(b). I am God, yes, from eternity I am He: Micah 5:2; Jn 1:1-2.
(c). Thus says the LORD, your redeemer: Rom 3:24; 1 Cor 1:30; Eph 1:7; Col 1:13-14; Heb 9:11-12.
(d). I am the LORD, your Holy One: Mk 1:23-25; Lk 4:34-35; Jn 6:67-69.
(e). The creator of Israel, your King: Micah 5:2; Mt 2:1-6; 27:42; Mk 15:32; Jn 1:49, 12:13.
The Spirit of Jesus Christ is the LORD, who, though He was in the form of God takes the form of a human being:
  • Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.  (Phil 2:5-8)
4. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the prime mover within the ancient prophets of God:
  • Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of (your) faith, the salvation of your souls.  Concerning this salvation, prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and investigated it, investigating the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance to the sufferings destined for Christ and the glories to follow them.  (1 Pt 1:8-11)
5. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the LORD out of heaven who reduced Sodom and Gomorrah into a ground zero:
  • The sun was just rising over the earth as Lot arrived in Zoar; at the same time the LORD rained down sulphurous fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah (from the LORD out of heaven).  (Gen 19:23-24)
6. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the Lord of David:
  • A psalm of David.  The LORD says to you, my lord: “Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool.”  (Ps 110:1)
  • While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them, saying, “What is your opinion about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They replied, “David’s.”  He said to them, “How, then, does David, inspired by the Spirit, call him ‘lord,’ saying: ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet”‘?  If David calls him ‘lord,’ how can he be his son?”  No one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.  (Mt 22:41-46)
Though the Spirit of Jesus Christ precedes David, He is nevertheless called the Son of David.  In the same way, though the Spirit of Jesus Christ precedes Mary, He is called the Son of Mary.  This is the unsolvable dilemma of the Protestants who until now cannot figure out how on earth can the infinite God becomes the Son of finite Mary!
  • The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.  (Mt 1:1)
  • Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.  (Mk 6:3)
7. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the LORD who saved the Israelites from Egypt:
  • Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD swept the sea with a strong east wind throughout the night and so turned it into dry land. When the water was thus divided, the Israelites marched into the midst of the sea on dry land, with the water like a wall to their right and to their left.  The Egyptians followed in pursuit; all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and charioteers went after them right into the midst of the sea.  In the night watch just before dawn the LORD cast through the column of the fiery cloud upon the Egyptian force a glance that threw it into a panic; and he so clogged their chariot wheels that they could hardly drive. With that the Egyptians sounded the retreat before Israel, because the LORD was fighting for them against the Egyptians.  Then the LORD told Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may flow back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and their charioteers.”  So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea flowed back to its normal depth. The Egyptians were fleeing head on toward the sea, when the LORD hurled them into its midst.  As the water flowed back, it covered the chariots and the charioteers of Pharaoh’s whole army which had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not a single one of them escaped.  But the Israelites had marched on dry land through the midst of the sea, with the water like a wall to their right and to their left.  Thus the LORD saved Israel on that day from the power of the Egyptians. When Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore and beheld the great power that the LORD had shown against the Egyptians, they feared the LORD and believed in him and in his servant Moses.  (Ex 14:21-31)
  • For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment,) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ.  I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not: (Jude 1:4-5)
8. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the spiritual rock that followed the Israelites in their desert wanderings.
  • As the community had no water, they held a council against Moses and Aaron.  The people contended with Moses, exclaiming, “Would that we too had perished with our kinsmen in the LORD’S presence!  Why have you brought the LORD’S community into this desert where we and our livestock are dying?  Why did you lead us out of Egypt, only to bring us to this wretched place which has neither grain nor figs nor vines nor pomegranates? Here there is not even water to drink!”  But Moses and Aaron went away from the assembly to the entrance of the meeting tent, where they fell prostrate. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them, and the LORD said to Moses, “Take the staff and assemble the community, you and your brother Aaron, and in their presence order the rock to yield its waters. From the rock you shall bring forth water for the community and their livestock to drink.”  So Moses took the staff from its place before the LORD, as he was ordered.  He and Aaron assembled the community in front of the rock, where he said to them, “Listen to me, you rebels! Are we to bring water for you out of this rock?”  Then, raising his hand, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water gushed out in abundance for the community and their livestock to drink.  But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them.”  These are the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites contended against the LORD, and where he revealed his sanctity among them.  (Num 20:2-13)
  • I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea, and all of them were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.  All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was the Christ.  (1 Cor 10:1-4)
9. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the LORD who sent fiery serpent to the rebellious Israelites.
  • From Mount Hor they set out on the Red Sea road, to by-pass the land of Edom. But with their patience worn out by the journey, the people complained against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!”  In punishment the LORD sent among the people saraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died.  Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned in complaining against the LORD and you. Pray the LORD to take the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people, and the LORD said to Moses, “Make a saraph and mount it on a pole, and if anyone who has been bitten looks at it, he will recover.”  Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he recovered.  (Num 21:4-9)
  • Let us not test Christ as some of them did, and suffered death by serpents.  Do not grumble as some of them did, and suffered death by the destroyer.  These things happened to them as an example, and they have been written down as a warning to us, upon whom the end of the ages has come.  (1 Cor 10:9-11)
10. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the Immanuel or Emmanuel which means “God is with us”:
  • Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.  (Is 7:14)
  • Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.  She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.”  (Mt 1:20-23)
Truly, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ Himself is “God is with us” for He is the God who has visited his people, like when He made a dead man alive again:
  • Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.  As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.  When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”  He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”  The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.  Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his people.”  This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.  (Lk 7:11-17)
11. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the eternal Word who was God with God the Father in the beginning in eternity and through whom all things were made:
  • In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  (Jn 1:1-3, AMP)
  • He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].  (Jn 1:10, AMP)
12. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is called the Lord and God before and after He became a Man:
  • Awake, be vigilant in my defense, in my cause, my God and my Lord.  (Ps 35:23)
  • Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”  (Jn 20:28)
13. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who appeared to Saul from heaven.
  • And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?  And he said, Who art thou, Lord?  And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.  And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.  (Acts 9:1-7, King James Version)
14. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit is the Lord from heaven who is a quickening or a life-giving Spirit:
  • And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  (1 Cor 15:45-49, KJV)
15. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is the Father’s only begotten God:
  • No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known].  (Jn 1:18, AMP)
  • In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”; just as he says in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”  (Heb 5:5-6)
  • The LORD says to you, my lord: “Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool.”  The scepter of your sovereign might the LORD will extend from Zion.  The LORD says: “Rule over your enemies!  Yours is princely power from the day of your birth.  In holy splendor before the daystar, like the dew I begot you.”  The LORD has sworn and will not waver: “Like Melchizedek you are a priest forever.”  (Ps 110:1-4)
  • For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”?  Or again: “I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me”?  And again, when he leads the first-born into the world, he says: “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  (Heb 1:5-6)
The Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall rule all nations with an iron rod, said this:
  • I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, “You are my son; today I am your father.  Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.  With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them.”  (Ps 2:7-9)
  • She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne.  (Rv 12:5)
  • Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he himself will tread out in the wine press the wine of the fury and wrath of God the almighty.  He has a name written on his cloak and on his thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”  (Rv 19:15-16)
16. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is God in the flesh:
  • Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  (Col 2:8-9, KJV)
  • And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.  (1 Tm 3:16, KJV)
  • In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  (Jn 1:1-3, AMP)
  • And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.  (Jn 1:14, AMP)
17. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is the true God and eternal life:
  • And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and has given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal.  (1 Jn 5:20, AMP)
18. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is God over all:
  • Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.  (Rom 9:5, KJV)
  • Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.  (Rom 9:5, New Living Translation)
19. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is God and Savior:
  • Symeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of equal value to ours through the righteousness of our God and savior Jesus Christ: (2 Pt 1:1)
  • Awaiting and looking for the [fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One), (Ti 2:13, AMP)
  • While we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.  (Ti 2:13, NLT)
20. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords:
  • He wore a cloak that had been dipped in blood, and his name was called the Word of God.  The armies of heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and wearing clean white linen.  Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he himself will tread out in the wine press the wine of the fury and wrath of God the almighty.  He has a name written on his cloak and on his thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”  (Rv 19:13-16)
21. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, who is the Lord God Almighty who is coming soon:
  • Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him.  All the peoples of the earth will lament him.  Yes. Amen.  “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.”  (Rv 1:7-8)
  • “Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”  Blessed are they who wash their robes so as to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates.  Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the unchaste, the murderers, the idol-worshipers, and all who love and practice deceit.  “I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star.”  (Rv 22:12-16)
  • The one who gives this testimony says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!  (Rv 22:20)
22. Mary is the Mother of my Lord, whose Spirit and God the Father, who is Spirit, are one:
  • “God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.”  (Jn 4:24)
  • “The Father and I are one.”  (Jn 10:30)
  • “It is written in the prophets: ‘They shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.  Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.  Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.”  (Jn 6:45-47)
  • Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  If you know me, then you will also know my Father.  From now on you do know him and have seen him.”  Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”  Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?  Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.”  (Jn 14:6-11)
  • He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  (Col 1:15)
If you don’t believe Mary is the Mother of God, then you are an enemy of Christ and a liar:
Who are the antichrists?  Who are the liars?
  • Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour.  They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number.  But you have the anointing that comes from the holy one, and you all have knowledge.  I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth.  Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. (1 Jn 2:18-22)
If you are denying that the Lord conceived in Mary’s womb is the Christ who is the Son of God, praised by the Father as God twice, and made Christ (Anointed) and Lord from eternity before He created the heavens and the earth with His own hands, then you are the liar.  You are the antichrist.  As it was written:
  • But of the Son: “Your throne, O God (SON), stands forever and ever; and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.  You loved justice and hated wickedness; therefore God (SON), your God (FATHER), anointed you (MADE CHRIST) with the oil of gladness above your companions”; and: “At the beginning, O Lord (MADE LORD), you established the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands.  They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment.  You will roll them up like a cloak, and like a garment they will be changed.  But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”  (Heb 1:8-12, emphasis mine)
  • Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God.  He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make.  (Jn 1:1-3, TLB)
  • And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen his glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!  (Jn 1:14, TLB)
Truly, Mary is the Mother of God who was made Christ (Messiah) and Lord even from eternity (cf Heb 1:9-10):
  • In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.  This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria.  So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.  And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.  While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son.  She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.  Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.  The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.  The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.  (Lk 2:1-11)
