"Quite a number of us disagree from evidence we observe to be grounded in solid history and solid observations as well as solid logic."

Then you'd be able to explain why having a mom is so demeaning.

Here's some facts:

1.)The Father is God.
2.)The Son is God.
3.)The Holy Spirit is God.

Mary is the mother of the Son. That's why He's called the Son of man. The Son of man can only be called that if they had a mother. A son must have a mother. Now since the Son is God, it is clear that Mary is the mother of God. The only possible way for that conclusion to be false is if statement #2 is false. ie. The Son is not God.

Calling Mary the mother of Jesus is sufficient--if the goal is to distinguish her from all other mothers.

What is the purpose of changing it to calling her

THE MOTHER OF GAWWWWWWWD

???

Why is "Mother of Jesus" inadquate, in sufficient?

Inadequate in terms of what?

In sufficient in terms of what?

Why the change?

Sociolinguistically, please explain the change.

Psycholinguistically, please explain the change?

Wrong.. Jesus existed (as son) before he entered his earthly body, as he does now after the cross.. Jesus has always existed.. God(Father, Son, Holy Spirit) has always existed..

Long before Adam and Eve even.. Worshiping Jesus earthly body flys in the face of the metaphor of The Body of Christ.. and may even be idolatry.. The Spirit of the Son(Jesus) is (and was) eternal.. As Peter said "Thou are the Christ the son of the living God", was not in reference to the fruit of Marys womb.. but in reference to the Spirit of God..... When Jesus asked Peter "WHO AM I"..
