To: all the best
Calling Mary “Mother of God” is deification and blasphemy.

Utter nonsense.

I know nothing about you or your mother. But I do know that she preceded you. A mother always come before her children.

Almost always. Unless you want to deny the true incarnation of Jesus Christ, completely, you'll have to admit that He had a mother (as Scripture made plain--see John 2:1, etc.).

You need to make a choice: since Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is truly God, then either Mary is the mother of God, or else either Jesus was not fully human (which is the heresy of Apollinarianism), or He was not fully divine (which is the heresy of Arianism).

Mary is most definitely not the mother of God. She is mother of the man Jesus. God Jesus preceded her by an eternity.

Are you rejecting the idea that the man Jesus was God? Are you suggesting that Jesus the man and God the Son are two entirely different people? Those ideas would lay waste to the atomement of Christ... since only a man could die for our sins, and only God could pay the infinite price which our sins against God demanded.

The only choice to make is whether to believe God, or you...I'll have to ponder that one for a while... /sarc...
