If you go back to yesterday, you'll see that I asked the question (unanswered) at least 2 times. (Maybe 3) All I got was.....crickets.....(chirp, chirp,....)

In any case, you've answered the question.

Now, do you agree with the following question statement?

...Many people use the word "God" interchangeably for the word "Godhead?"

I think I know where you're going with this. I could be wrong with this, but it's quite possible that you've been told that Mary is not a "Mother" in the sense that she is the origin of the Godhead. The apostolic churches have never taught that. She is the Mother of the Second Person, who, as the Athanasian Creed states (and as I repeated in my last post), "although He be God and Man; yet He is not two, but one Christ. One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh; but by assumption of the Manhood into God. One altogether, not by confusion of substance; but by unity of person."
