Perhaps you are blind to it but post 182 elevates Mary by placing her as the head of the Head of the Body of Christ.

It is concealed by replacing the word “head” with the word “mother”. The word “mother” is a title that denotes authority. God Himself takes the title of Father. It grants Mary authority she doesn’t have in Scripture. In Scripture she has no authority at all.

Humans that in their hearts do not love God and have turned away from His Son, have created an idol for themselves that they prefer instead. A woman. They much prefer to pray to and worship and love this woman idol than God.

Are you arguing that Mary is NOT the mother of Jesus,
or that she is but we shouldn't say so?

The word “mother” is a title that denotes authority.

Says who? Yes, a son owes his mother "honor" as it says in the Bible. But that doesn't mean that she has authority over her adult son. And, besides, the Bible says that Jesus was subject to his parents.

You give the word "mother" a connotation that we do not give it, and then on the basis of YOUR connotation you say something about what WE think. It makes no sense.
