The Hidden Truth About The Virgin Mary
Is she the mother of Christ or the mother of God?
Mary's title "Theotokos" (God-bearer) was debated in early Christianity. Nestorius, a patriarch, preferred "Christotokos" (Christ-bearer) to separate Christ's divinity from his humanity. This debate was settled at the Council of Ephesus in 431, where "Theotokos" was affirmed.
