By calling Mary the "Mother of God" we put God under her authority.

But, Buggman, that's precisely what God himself did by by becoming incarnate as her Son. Scripture itself says that Christ returned to Nazareth and "was subject to them [that is, to Joseph and Mary]".

God was under Mary's authority, though probably not in the sense that you were thinking when you wrote your comment.

Hey Campion, I already addressed that point back in posts #49 and 51. As a human child, He was put under her authority. As the Resurrected Lord, she is back under His.

Jesus, the Son Of God, certainly was under the authority of Mary and Joseph.

Luke 2:
48: And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." 49: And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
50: And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51: And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
52: And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.

Certainly you don't think it is possible for God to "increase in wisdom..."?
