If so, how does that make a mother feel?

That is a GREAT question for Trinitarians! Even as a child, I myself was taught this concept, and was confused and baffled by the idea that there was "God the Father", who also had a son, (that part is acceptable) but wait! the "SON" is also GOD! But yet, he is also still the "SON" and equal to the Father, blah blah blah.......It NEVER made any logical sense to me, and NEVER will. And when I became an adult and could actually use my OWN mind and abilities to research this confusing doctrine, and was able to finally say to myself, no wonder it doesn't make any sense, because it is a LIE! Purposely and deliberately forced and promoted as Truth, so as to deceive the masses and the generations that followed. And what is sad and even a bit scary is that, in this day and age when we have so much educational and historical information at our fingertips, there are those who would rather "go along with" and "support" what is clearly a doctrine of "MEN" and not of "GOD". (Mathew 15: 8,9)

"Say that God your Lord is one"
"God is the self suffiecient master"
" he bets not, nor WAS HE BEGOTTEN"" and "there is none CO-EQUAL or comparable unto him."
If Jesus is God because he is born from no father, then what about Adam, who was created from no mother and no father?
Jesus is just a prophet of God, as he uttered by God's will when he was a new born:
"Verily, I am the the slave of God, he has given me the scrpture and has made me a PROPHET, and he has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, as long as I live, and to be dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die and the day I shall be raised alive." "such is jesus, a statement of truth, about which they doubt."
"It befits not God that he should beget a son. Glorified is he. When he decrees a thing , he only says to it : Be and it is."
Surah 19: vesres 30-35.
God has allowed jesus (pbuh) to utter while a newborn, thus clearing Mary's name from what the jews were accusing her of. Notice how he said that God has ordered him to be dutiful to his mother, indicating he has no father.
The above verse is from Sourat Maryam in the Quran.
If you read the bible, then you will see that when jesus used to pray, he used to bow down to the ground, the way muslims do now.
Also, muslims greet each other by saying "alsallamu alaikum" which means peace be with you. This is the way christ also told people to greet each other.
Islam came confirming the birth of christ " which the jews deny, they still wait for christ"
and correcting the changes and corruptions that have happened in the bible over time.

I'm not sure what side the first poster is on, are you ?
Does he think that makes sense or doesn't he?
Personally I think it proves the how totally confusing the trinity concept is
the guy couldn't be posting that as a good thing, can he?

Mary knew exactly what was going to happen. Did the angel Gabriel tell her that she would give birth to God? At Luke 1:31, 32, Gabriel said:Â "and, look! you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name Jesus. This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. At verse 35, he also said: "“Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son."
What can be more plain than that? To say that Jesus was his own Son...or Father is not only ridiculous, but unscriptural. Mary knew full well that she would give birth to GOD'S SON, NOT GOD.

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

I'd venture to guess that Mary never believed Jesus was God. God is God, Jesus is Jesus, and the Bible is a book.
As for the Holy Spirit, that's the feeling you get when feel God's presence.

that was considered normal back then - just like adam and eve's children impregnating each other to populate the earth, and then again with noah and his son's (not sure how that one worked)

Jesus didn't impregnate Mary. God caused her to conceive, so perhaps (since He's God), He inserted special "God DNA" into one of her eggs. Boy I know that sounds stupid, doesn't it? But that's the most logical thing I can think of.

Mary knew because she knew from the scriptures how Jesus was going to be born. + Angel had a little chat with her and Joseph and Elisabeth. : )

No answer for you, but I love your question. I'm going to pose this question to my sister and brother in law,the hypocrhistians.
