Let me repeat.
“Anyone who goes beyond what the Holy Spirit had written which is “the mother of Jesus” is purporting to speak in the stead of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit did NOT use the words “mother of God” and we can be assured it was for a reason. Change the words of the Holy Spirit at your own peril.”

Yes, you do repeat yourself. It’s almost like a mantra: mother of God is not in Scripture, mother of God is not in Scripture, mother of God is not in Scripture - ooohhhhmmm

Let me ask you this. Is Jesus God? “Jesus is God” is not in Scripture. But we know He is God because the essential truth that Jesus is God is found in Scripture. In the same way, the essential truth that Mary is the mother of God is also found in Scripture.

I have provided several verses that show Mary is the mother of God, asking several of you why you think they do not show that Mary is the mother of God. No one has provided a response.

I will ask one more time.

In Matthew 1:18-23, regarding the birth of Jesus Christ, his mother Mary was found with child of the Holy Ghost. The angel of the Lord told Joseph that she shall bring forth a son who shall save his people from their sins. That this was done to fulfill the prophecy that 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.

- These descriptions of the child seem to indicate that he is God, making his mother Mary the mother of God.

Matthew 2 describes wise men searching for the King of the Jews. Verse 11 states that when they came into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him.

- The wise men worshipping the child seem to indicate that he is God, making Mary the mother of God.

If you don’t agree, could you explain why?

Luke 1 (NASB)
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
31 “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.
32 “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”

Matthew 1 (NASB)
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”
24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,
25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

Luke 2 (NASB)
21 And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

>>Yes, you do repeat yourself.<<

That's because I stay with scripture. It's rather consistent you know.

>>I have provided several verses that show Mary is the mother of God,<<

No, actually you have not. You have posted verses the you think say want you want per your understanding of the nature of of the man who is Jesus. I trust the Holy Spirit did NOT use the term "mother of God" for a reason. I would suggest He understands better than Catholics.

>>These descriptions of the child seem to indicate that he is God, making his mother Mary the mother of God.<<

That would still make only His human nature coming from Mary.

Only in paganism does a god have a mother.
