"At no point does God honor His mother - because He doesn’t have one!"

(sigh!)Again, scripture clearly indicates you are wrong. Luke 2:46-51 Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son,why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You." And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that had to be in My Father's house?" But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them. And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them;

Note the "He" is capitalized, indicating God.

Ask yourself - was born or is He self existent? You are confusing God with the man Jesus. Jesus was born as a man but He was God before, during, and after that. As God, He wasn’t born and has no mother.

Why the fixation on trying to establish Mary as “the Mother of God”? Is it because the RCC has a branch that worships her and proclaims her a partner in the salvation of men? The Bible calls such idolatry. Repentance would be the right step.

Two things:

It might be because the Bible version you used began verse 51 with "He". That is gramitaclly correct. The fact that most versions begin verse 51 with "And he...". That is gramatically correct and does away with your "God" interpretation.

You conventiently left out verse 52:

[52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.

God increased in wisdom and stature with God?
