The Blessed Virgin MOTHER OF GOD
Hmp. What if ganitong scenario. may asawa ako. Hindi pwede magbuntis asawa ko. pero gusto namin magkaanak. So naghanap kami ng uterus for rent. Sa madaling salita, SURROGATE. Genes namin pero uterus mo lang gagamitin.
Well, di ko naman kinukwestiyon ang theotokos.
THAT IS A SURROGATE MOTHER BUT THE BIBLE CALLS MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS NOT THE SURROGATE MOTHER OF JESUS. BECAUSE JESUS IS THE SEED OF MARY [cf. Gen 3.15]. SHE IS THE TRUE MOTHER OF THE LORD. IN THE CASE OF SURROGATE MOTHERS, THE SEED CAME FROM ANOTHER PERSON AND THE SURROGATE MOTHER IS ONLY A REPOSITORY OF THE SEED FROM ANOTHER. BUT MARY IS NOT A MERE REPOSITORY. JESUS WAS FORMED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH HER. THERE IS NO SEED COMING FROM ANOTHER PERSON IMPLANTED ON HER.
A CHILD IS FORMED FROM THE UNION OF SPERM CELL OF THE FATHER AND THE EGG CELL OF THE MOTHER. EVERY CONCEPTION AND BIRTH OF THE CHILD IS AN ACT OF CREATION OF GOD. IT IS GOD CREATING, FORMING, GIVING LIFE TO EACH AND EVERY HUMAN PERSON. BUT, THE NORMAL WAY HE USES A FATHER AND MOTHER TO FORM EACH OF US. BUT THE CASE OF JESUS IS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL. GOD INCARNATE AS MAN [cf. Jn 1:14] THROUGH A WOMAN [cf. Gal 4:4] WITHOUT THE AID OF MALE SEED [cf. Mt 1:18-20/ Lk 1:34-35].
THE INCARNATION AND THE BIRTH OF THE LORD JESUS WAS MYSTERIOUS AND MIRACULOUS. NO SPERM CELL WAS USED. HE WAS PURELY FROM THE SEED OF MARY. GOD MADE USE OF ONE INSTRUMENT ONLY: MARY AS THE MOTHER. SO HE GOT ALL HIS GENES, FLESH AND BLOOD FROM THE ONE AND ONLY SOURCE: MARY. SO MARY IS TRULY AND REALLY THE MOTHER OF JESUS.
THE MYSTERY AND MIRACLE OF JESUS BIRTH THROUGH MARY IS CALLED “THE VIRGIN BIRTH”.
