Mary was the mother of the human form. The Logos became flesh through her, nothing more. She was the means of Him coming to dwell amongst us. If Mary is the mother of G-d then she, by definition, is higher than G-d.

And He would not be self-existent, which He is. To give God false attributes, is to create a false idol.

Sorry, that makes no logical sense at all.

Stanley Ann Dunham is the mother of President Obama. Is she therefore, by definition, "higher" than President Obama? Nope, and nobody would claim she is.

Your conclusion is true only if you totally, completely, absolutely fail to understand what has always been meant by the title, “Mother of God.” It never, never, never meant to anyone that Mary is the mother of the eternal, Triune God. No Christian theologian has ever been moronic enough to think that the title meant that.

The Logos, the Word of God is God. Mary bore the Word of God, Jesus Christ, God. She bore God.

A mother is not by definition "higher" than the offspring.
