Timothy GraceHOST
We see that it's God's good pleasure not to make us replacement saviors of some kind, but to enable us to share in Christ's saving work.
Timothy GraceHOST
Now, this is why we say so often, most holy Theotokos, save us.
Timothy GraceHOST
She, above all, is participating in Christ's saving work for the world.
Timothy GraceHOST
And this connection that we have in love connects us to one another and it never ends, in St. Paul's words.
Gavin OrtlundGUEST
So for example, many Protestants get uncomfortable with language of Mary as the mother of God.
Gavin OrtlundGUEST
or as the God-bearer, the Theotokos.
Gavin OrtlundGUEST
But historically, Protestants have been totally fine with that.
Gavin OrtlundGUEST
That goes back to the Third Ecumenical Council, Council of Ephesus, and it's basically just a way of speaking about the Incarnation, that Jesus is God, and Mary bore Jesus, who is God.
Bob ThielGUEST
It says, Cyril was a patriarch of Alexandria and supported many heirs of the Catholic Church.
Bob ThielGUEST
He promoted the veneration of Mary, called her Theotokos, or bearer of God.
Bob ThielGUEST
Okay? Well, it was actually a century or two earlier, various ones considered to be church fathers warned against the wrong and excessive promotion of Mary.
Bob ThielGUEST
We've got an article about that.
JohnHOST
Insane, right? But it's when you talk about being a good husband, talk about being a good father, talk about being a good family man.
JohnHOST
You have a sleeve with the Theotokos on it.
JohnHOST
You say Christ is king in your videos.
JohnHOST
And then your next... your next project is going out in the woods with a couple of only fans, girls, and not in like some sort of, you know, it's, it's weird.
Stephen BoyceHOST
And in this section, there is a statement.
Stephen BoyceHOST
One, he calls Mary the Theotokos, the mother of God.
Stephen BoyceHOST
and blessed virgin.
Stephen BoyceHOST
So what does this demonstrate to us in Luther's thinking and his mindset? Well, he obviously believed she was a perpetual virgin.
Stephen BoyceHOST
And Mary, not only to Christ, a mother, not only to Christ, but also to all Christians.
Stephen BoyceHOST
And so he did have a working theology that shifted.
Stephen BoyceHOST
Of course, he moved his theology toward much of this, but he certainly held to the fact that she should be honored and reverenced and that she should be a part of the Theotokos.
Stephen BoyceHOST
And this is the other part here.
Patrick MadridHOST
We use the term Mother of God in English, Mater Dei in Latin from St. Jerome.
Patrick MadridHOST
And in the Greek, Theotokos.
Patrick MadridHOST
And that Greek word means God-bearer.
Patrick MadridHOST
So Theos is the word in Greek for God.
Patrick MadridHOST
So Theotokos is God-bearer.
Patrick MadridHOST
We could translate it as the Mother of God.
Patrick MadridHOST
Nestorius, because he had this theological confusion about the relationship between Christ's divine and human nature, he proposed a term Christotokos, meaning the mother of Christ, and what he meant by that was that Mary was only the mother of of Christ in a limited way, whereas the Catholic Church's theological teaching, as exemplified by Saint Cyril, among others, is that Mary gave birth to the person of the second person of the Trinity.
Patrick MadridHOST
She gave birth not to a nature, she gave birth to a person who has a divine and a human nature.
Charbel AbernethyHOST
The deeper the love is, the more it sees with greater clarity.
Charbel AbernethyHOST
Think again of the Theotokos, Blessed Virgin.
Charbel AbernethyHOST
She remembers all these things.
Charbel AbernethyHOST
She carries them within her heart.
Jeremy JeremiahHOST
Now we have the
HectorGUEST
Theotokos, yeah.
Jeremy JeremiahHOST
Icons, and prayer ropes, and all of this, yeah.
HectorGUEST
Yeah, so then I started going, and at the time... she didn't come in with me because I was like, oh, I'm going to be a catechumen.
Kevin ToddGUEST
If I am wrong or what do the Psalms tell me to do? They tell me to go and weep to my Lord and ask for intercession.
Kevin ToddGUEST
So in a sense, going to one's mom, a divine mom, Theotokos, if you will, I think, you know, weeping can be seen as unmanly, but I don't I don't think it really is in essence.
Kate AlbaGUEST
That's a really good point that I will stand corrected on that.
Kate AlbaGUEST
You bring a brilliant perspective to that.
