The term "Mother of God" came out of the Council Ephesus (431 AD)specifically to uphold he Biblical rtuth about Jesus and refute the Nestorian heresy. Jesus possesses fully the nature of God and the nature of man: we can describe Him as true God and true man.

However the title *mother of GOD* does not even address Jesus so it in no way corrects any heresies about His nature.

All it does is compound further error.

If there was a problem with people's understanding of the nature of Jesus, the correct response would have been correcting it with Scripture in which there is PLENTY of material to use.

Changing Mary's title from Mother of Jesus to Mother of God does nothing to correct errant teaching about Jesus' nature and does everything to introduce errant teaching about who Mary is and the nature of God.

The teaching about "Theotokos" only confuses people who refuse explanation.

Some ask, "Was Jesus human divine or God?"

Explanation: Yes.

[JPX2011]

Changing Mary's title from Mother of Jesus to Mother of God does nothing to correct errant teaching about Jesus' nature and does everything to introduce errant teaching about who Mary is and the nature of God.

Mary's title was originally Mother of God, Theotokos. It was Nestorius, the heretic who attempted to change it to Mother of Jesus and was roundly condemned for it precisely because it introduced errant teaching to the Faithful on the nature of Christ.
