You would like to say thus. You are incorrect. Jesus was a person who was 100% human and 100% divine. You are trying to make a nice tidy package that everyone can understand out of Jesus's divinity/humanity. Jesus was a person. He was 100% man and 100% God. Mary gave birth to a person, but only contributed to his manhood - not His Godhood. The incarnation is a mystery and though you just LOVE throwing out the heresy accusation (ignorring what was explicitly explained by the person you are speaking to); you allow no room for the unexplainable or mysterious. Nobody has denied Christ of anything. We will not bow to your elevated Mary, however, for she is not the Mary of Scripture.

If you affirm that Mary is the mother of a person, and you affirm that this person is God, then it follows that Mary is the mother of God. In order to reject that conclusion, you have to reject one of the two premises. You must either deny that Mary is the mother of a person, or you must deny that the person of whom she is the mother is God. Which do you deny?
