Here's the argument:

(1) Mary is the mother of a person
(2) This person is God

Therefore, it necessarilly follows that

(3) Mary is the mother of God.

In order to reject that conclusion, you have to reject one of the two premises. Which do you deny?

Perfect. I don't think it could be more clear.

False dilemma

1)Not all Persons have mothers (Adam had no mother)
2)Persons who have mothers also have beginnings
3)God has no beginning
4)God can not have a mother
5)Jesus is God
6)Jesus is a Human
7)As God, Jesus had no beginning
8) As God, Jesus had no mother
9) As Man, Jesus had a beginning
10)As Man, Jesus had a mother
11)Such a mystery is an unexplainable paradox in Scripture, just as the mystery of the trinity is.
