in her body for the rest of her life. This means that Mary, the mother of Jesus, always had the cells of the Son of God in her body. In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies which God dwelled within, could not be touched by sinful men or they would die. What could this mean to how we see Mary?

By the way, just to remind people...Jesus is God. He is part of the eternal Holy Trinity, and he will also always have his human body which shares the DNA of Mary.

One more thing, I'm not suggesting the Mary is the Mother of the Trinity. But she is mother of Jesus by the fact that she conceived him in her womb, carried him for nine months, gave birth to him, and nutured him as a child, and Jesus is God.

Trinity=three persons or natures, but still only one God.
Think of a Milky Way candy bar. It has a chocolate covering, caramel, and nougat. But it is still one candy bar.

You need to back up your first claim with documentation. I'm aware of no scientific finding that a woman carries the cells of her children with her for life. In fact, this conflicts with what we know about how the immune system works. A child's cells are recognized as foreign matter to a mother's body and would be rejected, i.e. killed.
I'm an ex-Catholic and it seems to me this is a veiled attempt to support your deification of Mary, which is blasphemy. I don't mean any disrespect, but this is not an avenue I will ever walk down for the remainder of my life -- on earth AND in Heaven.
Peace.

Well, isn't that a fine kettle of fish.
First, how do you KNOW that the method which your god used to create the life of Jesus in Mary was to fertilize an egg instead of simply placing a growing fetus inside her?
Second, how do you KNOW that simply carrying this Jesus would have made Mary holly enough to touch the fabled ark of the covenant?
Third, how do you KNOW that this myth of Jesus and the trinity and Mary and all of that other stuff is real at all, and how do you KNOW that billions of people are wrong?
What do you know of the history of the bunch of books bound together that you consider to be true and holy?
Jesus said "Search the scriptures". Which, exactly, was he speaking of. At that time, the whole new testament was yet unwritten, let alone believed to be God's word.
Prove to me that I'm wrong in my beliefs and I might just start believing yours. BTW... read the ENTIRE bible many times with many translations. KJV, NJV, NIV, amplified, revised KJV, NAB and others. Having read it, i've found nothing to convince me that my pagan path is at all lacking.

If you take any part of the candy bar away you no longer have that candy bar. it becomes a different candy bar.
Since the bible says Adam is a son of God, does that make Adam "God"?
Since the angels are called sons of God,
does that make Angels "God"?
So there isn't a trinity, but a total number of angels 10,000 x 10,000's + 3+ 1 = 1 ?
Mary wasn't holy, she had to preform the cleansing sacrifice after she gave birth.
All christians including Mary can have God's spirit with in us, does that make us God?

If religion can accept science, can science accept religion? If a mother shares blood with her fetus, do cells created by the fetus get carried back into the mother? You say they see it, ok. DNA is a component of life, so, it would also be acceptable to a person of a faith......I believe. Be a Berean

Oh my god, a candy bar? A candy bar is NOT a coequal being, 100% nougat, 100% chocolate, etc... You have got to be kidding me

Mary was chosen by God (just like all other prophets also) because she was a good favorable person of God. Being chosen for such a deed makes her immaculate in my eyes. But yes, that sounds right to me, my son will always be with me, my soul, my heart, my life is for him to ever grow. Not to be confused with my unconditional highest of all highest love for God, but loving our kids is part of our duty to prove to God we love Him. Give thanks and praise to the Lord, and we will feel alright.

If god is god, and jesus is god, who is the holy spirit? God? So, three things are now god when there is supposed to be only one god. And you wonder why I am an Atheist.....

Mithras and a Pagan deity were both born of virgin mothers. Both examples predate Jesus. Paul could have just as easily picked one of them on which to base his hateful book.
The Pagan was Ugaritic.

WOW...how on earth did you contemplate that?
well done mate...best thought I heard in far too long. I guess it will give people something to think about next time St. Mary is attacked on under the speculative spot-light.
God Bless you.
