:On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the [[Ecumenical council]]s that Jesus is God the Son and remains God Incarnate from the moment of his conception in the womb of Mary his true mother, and the Person of Jesus is by that fact according to nature henceforth and always her own Son. He who exists before her, by entering her womb and becoming incarnate (John 1:14), causes her to be ''[[ipso facto]]'' "by that fact" His own mother. This is a unique privilege bestowed on no other human being. On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the Ecumenical councils, Orthodox, Catholics, Anglicans and Lutherans say without hesitation, "Holy Mary mother of God". The Protestant Reformers, Luther, Calvin and Zwingli did not hesitate to use such language in speaking of Mary the mother of Jesus (''see article'' [http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/general/mary.htm "'''Protestant Reformers on Mary'''"]).
:Even the prophet [[Muhammad]] in the [[Koran|Qur'an]] spoke highly of Mary (Arabic ''':''' <big><big><big><big>مريم </big></big></big></big>, romanized ''': ''' Maryam), the mother of Jesus (Isa). She holds a singularly exalted place in Islam as the only woman named in the Quran, which refers to her seventy times and explicitly identifies her as '''''the greatest of all women''''', stating, with reference to the angelic saluation during the annunciation,
::"O Mary, God has chosen you, and purified you; He has chosen you above all the women of creation." [https://www.clearquran.com/003.html Sura 3:42.] ''See also'' [https://www.clearquran.com/019.html Sura 19].
