(For the anti-Sola Scriptura crowd).
Name one doctrine that was held by the Chalcedon affirming Church that is not supported in Scripture.
I contend that one doesn't exist.
of course one does not exist. The books of the Bible were canonized precisely becasue they did not depart from Apostalic teaching.(For the anti-Sola Scriptura crowd).

As a lead into Chaceldon amd the earlier council in Ephasus, I have a question.(For the anti-Sola Scriptura crowd).

Mary is the Mother of God. She was chosen to deliver Him in the flesh.As a lead into Chaceldon amd the earlier council in Ephasus, I have a question.
Many people on this forum refuse to call Mary "The Mother of God". What say you? Is Mary the "Mother of God"?

The Church that affirms Chalcedon or the Church up to the point of Chalcedon? I am confused there.
Also I don't think one would exist either or they would say one existed usually, considering how they defended all of their views with Scripture although as St. Vincent says "joined to the Ecclesiastical Tradition." I think the fullness of Revelation is in both so I would say even (if you mean the Church that affirms Chalcedon) all I believe is supported in it.
You seem to affirm the Lutheran definition of Sola Scriptura here.of course one does not exist. The books of the Bible were canonized precisely becasue they did not depart from Apostalic teaching.

When we refer to God, we usually mean God Father, or Yahweh.
God, Yahweh, did not have a mother - God always existed and there was no being before Him.
If we mean Jesus, the Word Incarnate, and we know that He is God,,,then it would seem to be correct.
Except we really don't mean Jesus, do we?
I like to say that Mary is the Mother of Jesus,,,Mother of The Word - or the 2nd person of the Trinity.
Comment?
This is interesting, because it gets to the heart of why the Councils are so important.
I have noticed that many evangelicals refuse to or feel uncomfortable calling Jesus “God”. They will describe Him as “the Divine Son of God”, or as “the Son of God”, but less frequently “the Second Person of the Trinity” and even less frequently “God”.
Some explain they don’t feel comfortable calling Christ God, as Scripture describes Christ most frequently as the Son of God. Going further than this might be blasphemy, or over-kill. They are scared to say anything that is not Biblical, and so, unfortunately, they inadvertently turn into semi-Arians.
Many don’t see anything wrong with this.
It always amazes the superficial and totally devoid of context reading some bring to Scripture.
Hey, Silverback. When I say “evangelical”, I am referring to non-denom, Baptist, Pentecostal, and other Christians.LCMS Lutheran here
As an Evangelical, I know Christ is God, the second person in the Trinity. However, he is also the son of God, and you are correct we prefer to refer to him as such.
I don't really think evangelicals feel it's heretical to discuss, or proclaim Christ as God, we do recite the Athanasian Creed, and it's taught in our confessional writings. I would guess it's just habit to use the Son of God.
As far as Mary is concerned, she doesn't get a lot of attention, usually just Jesus mother, or the Virgin Mary.
