Memesplanation Short 28

This is a hairy topic. I do not pretend to have answers, but what follows is an excerpt of my thoughts on the matter:
As a protestant, I struggle with what I feel is a fixation on Mary, who yes, was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus. She grew the God-man in her womb. I believe that Jesus was fully God and fully man, from conception, otherwise he would neither be a sufficient sacrifice nor an effective example for us. My Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters would probably want to shake me vigorously because to them, my thinking does not go
far enough. To that I say that mystery is important, and I am comfortable with saying that I do not know enough to conclusively say that either Mary was not somehow the “mother of God” or that she indeed was. I do not think that it is important for salvation to know for sure one way or the other.
