Admirably inflammatory reader and combox frequenter "auret" comments:
one cannot preexist before one's mother... therefore mary is not the mother of God... at most she is the mother of the body he wore...Consider this one of the rare times on record that Rowan Williams has inspired anyone to have a theological discussion. Kudos, Archbishop.
and how do you know he had mary's DNA... has there been blood tests i haven't heard about...
there is no proof whatsoever that her eggs were even used in the transaction...
God created life from nothing once before he could easily have done it with jesus..
either way it doesn't matter because she is only the mother to the physical shell not to any of the aspect that is God.
plus your reasoning requires a rather simplistic understanding of the concept of trinity...
Jesus is not the incarnation of the second person of the trinity...
The very fact of incarnation is the only reason that we have a concept of trinity
Jesus is the incarnation of God.
the incarnate Christ is the second person of the trinity
a timeless eternal God reaching into time in a physical way... and since God is timeless a part of him always exists at that time and place...
From God's perspective Jesus is Being Born, Living, Teaching, Dying, Rising... right now...
eternally right now...
mary is relatively insignificant to the process in my opinion...
