I don’t know how to answer that, neither and both I guess. I’m simply trying to show how it is Mary is the mother of the person Jesus Christ who most Christians agree is God and Man. The term Mary Mother of God was used to counter the recurrent prevailing and for a time ascendant notion that Jesus was a human person only albeit highly blest by God. This notion of the heretical priest Arius guts the story of God’s gift of His son to mankind and the saving action of His passion and death on our account. Mary was truly the mother of the person Jesus who by the overshadowing (conceiving action) of the Holy Spirit was pregnant with the God-man Jesus. This Arian account refutes the scripture notion that God so loved the world He gave his only son to mankind to be humbly born of Woman.
