As I've said a few thousand times, when we really question someone who denies Mary her role, we find someone who denies Jesus' divinity.)

Mary is not the mother of God. It is true that Jesus Christ is God the Son, and Mary was the mother of Jesus, but the New Testament does not even hint that Mary should be thought of as the mother of God. Jesus Christ, as God the Son, had no beginning. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (Jn. 1:1). Christ as God had no mother, or beginning. It was only His human, earthly existence which began in the womb of Mary. She is the mother of His humanity, not His divinity.

The Godhead has no motherhood!

When we say "Mother of God" we don't mean Creator of God. We don't believe that Mary created God, only that she was the earthly mother of God. Since God had to become man he needed a mother. The Title does not and never has meant God maker.

My Jesus is completely God and completely man. Yours is apparently something else. When did Jesus become God?

Maybe you can take a stab at my logic. Which one of these statements do you not agree with?

Jesus is God

Mary gave birth to Jesus
