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, 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.

===[[Fundamentalism]]===

Fundamentalists firmly proclaim that God alone is holy. No one else and nothing else is or can be holy but God alone. Regarding anything or anyone else as holy is [[idolatry]]. The Bible is holy because it is the Word of God.
