So then (according to you) God has a mother.
Does God also have a father?
Does God have sisters and brothers?
Ultimately we are headed toward “the mystery” aspects of God in any such discussion. You have no place else to go.
That is not what the Bible is about when I read it.
The Bible is about revelation.
You are logically compelled to deny that when we get down.

Let us avoid dishonest discourse. As I pointed out, the term "Mother of God" refers only to the person Jesus Christ, God and man. It does not, nor has it ever been implied, to refer the entire Blessed Trinity or to the Godhead. The term, from the Greek Theotokos (God bearer), is used to stress the indivisible union in Jesus of the two natures of God and man. There is only one person, Jesus; not two, a God Jesus and a man Jesus. Jesus is both God and man, and Mary is his mother. To try to read anything else in the term would be dishonest.
