The Holy Spirit calls Mary, *the mother of Jesus*.
    There are very few passages where the Holy Spirit is expressly speaking or calling, so it is more accurate to save that expression for those few passages. The scriptures however, inspired by God, explicitly describe Mary as the
  1. mother of Jesus,
  2. mother of my (our) Lord, and
  3. mother of God with us.

All three are true. Therefore it is scriptural to call Mary the mother of God for she is the mother of "God with us."

Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also ?Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

mother of God with us.

So where is the phrase *mother of God with us* show up in Scripture?
