I'll try to make my question as clear as I can.

Yesterday I was thinking of the way we predicate Him and how It seems that we did not mean the exact same thing when we say that He is something and that some creature out there is something. For example, let's make some affirmations:

Matthew is good

God is good

Do I mean the exact same thing when I say both of them are good? It seems that I don't, for a human being's goodness is not identical to its humanity nor to its existence. But divine goodness, essence and existence are equal, because of Divine simplicity. Therefore, it looks like divine goodness and human goodness are not only distinct in degree, but in... type. If this is correct, when we say God is good, we do not mean the same thing we do when we say some person out there is good.

Something similar happens when we compare divine essence to human essence.

Can someone speak on this topic a bit?

As melhores edições em PT-BR das obras de Aristóteles são as da Edipro? Ou tem alguma melhor?

As da Edipro têm notas de rodapé?

I want to ask you something something: which do you observe, the Sabbath or Sunday? Or do you observe both?

Sorry if the text sounds strange, english is not my first language.

This is for christians that argue Mary is not the Mother of God, but only the mother of Jesus' human nature (bringing back the nestorian heresy from the fifth century). Read what Matthew says about Isaiah's prophecy in Matthew 1,23: "'Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,' which means, 'GOD with us'." If you claim she did not give birth to God, Isaiah's prophecy was not fullfilled, because he is explicitly saying she gave birth to GOD with us.

Also, if you denial she is the Mother of Jesus, but not the Mother of God, then you are claiming Jesus is not God, what contradicts scripture (check John 1,1), for the gospel does not say she is the mother only of Jesus' *human nature*, but that she is the Mother of Jesus (check Acts 1,14), a divine (check John 1,1) and human (check John 1,14) person.

We also have Elizabeth calling Mary the Mother of her *Lord* (check Luke 1,43), the same word she uses to mention God the Father (check Luke 1,45), giving a hint to Jesus consubstantiality with the Father.

If you deny Mary's divine maternity, you deny Holy Scripture.
