Being a mother is different than being a creator. Jesus is uncreated, begotten before time began. However, He was born of Mary.So, you believe that you got your soul and/or spirit from your parents? That your biological parents gave you your existence and your substance?
I dont. I believe that we got only bodies from our parents. (Not talking about behaviour influences in childhood, of course)
You can’t separate a person into pieces and say that someone is a mother only of a part of the person. Our bodies are not created by our mother, just as our souls are not created by our mother - but our mothers bore our full person. God created and made us all, body and soul. That said, our souls existed and were a part of us prior to birth. We aren’t united with our souls once we are born. Mary gave birth to God Incarnate, who was fully God and fully man. He was still God even when in the womb, as is evident by Mary’s visitation with Elizabeth.
What does the word mother mean to you?
