“Why not just leave it as Mother of Jesus or Mother of Lord?”
And the difference would be....?

I tried to explain this several times, but one more try. God refers to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To refer to Mary as the Mother of the Jesus is correct. But to say Mary is the Mother of God says she is also the Mother of the Father and the Holy Spirit, which the Bible does not say and would seemingly be impossible. It may be just semantics on my part, but it strikes me as wrong to phrase it that way.
