Mother of God

Is it proper to call Mary the "God-bearer?"

By Ed Vasicek on Thu, 03/21/19

Were the Nestorians correct in rejecting the orthodox view that Mary is the “God bearer” (theotokos )? Via Latin, this also comes into English as “Mother of God.”

Although what Nestoius believed and what later Nestorians believed is a matter of debate, we are limiting our discussion to this part of the Nestorian “heresy.”

But was Nestorius correct on this point?

The Nestorians argued that such a title (God-bearer) failed to distinguish His humanity from His deity.

What think you?
