“Actually, she is the mother of Jesus. God is eternal and without beginning. He can have no mother.”

You do realize you believe a heresy?

Those who believe Mary was the mother only of Jesus the man and should not be called ‘Mother of God.’ This is the heresy of Nestorianism.

Next thing you will tell me is that Jesus had two natures, one human and one divine.

I think the issue you’re struggling with is “syllogism.”

Are you RC or not? If so, go check out the Council of Chalcedon. If you’re not, check out the Council of Chalcedon.

Jesus is fully God and fully man. God in the Flesh.

Check on your reading of Nestorianism also — I don’t believe in any disunion between the natures. God is almighty.

“Those who believe Mary was the mother only of Jesus the man and should not be called ‘Mother of God.’”

“And [we believe] in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father …”

Did Mary have anything to do with Jesus “being of one substance with the Father”?
