And Scripture points to her being the Mother of God. So I guess Scripture wins!
scripture points to her being the mother of God the Son, or Christ.
her name should not be "Theotokos", but "Christotokos"
in fact... Theotokos does NOT mean "Mother of God"... the original Greek translation is simply "God-bearer", and it was ONLY used as a title for Mary by 4th century writers.
in the post-Nicene Latin speaking church, Theotokos was rendered Dei Genitrix, which means "Mother of God"
it was Cyril of Alexandria that gave her this name during the First Council of Ephesus in 431. Before Cyril, Mary was nothing more than another person.
after reading all accounts concerning Mary from Papias, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, Methodius, and Alexander of Alexandria (...because i know you Catholics looove your church leaders and your saints...), they all mention Mary, the mother of Jesus, AS A SIMPLE WOMAN... not perfect, not born sinless, or any other Roman Catholic dogmatic belief instated by the Roman Church. ALL of them expressed that she was simply the mother of Jesus.
later, though, in the third century, Tertullian, Origin, and Methodius were defending the virgin birth and Jesus having a natural mother, because in the 3rd Centuiry, Marcion, among others, were claiming that Mary was not the natural mother of Christ. Therefore, these above mentioned wrote defenses for Mary in support of her being Jesus's natural mother, but NEVER ONCE gave her special attention as modern Roman Catholics do today.
