[Quix]

The term *Mother of God* is at the very least deceitful.

Mother of Jesus is accurate and correct and gives no false impressions about who she is and what her role in God’s plan of redemption is.

But that clearly is the problem. Catholics have, over the centuries, elevated her and given her characteristics and accolades that properly belong to only God Himself. It gives the clear impression that the whole end of this Mary stuff is to elevate her to godhood. What better way to do that than claim that she’s God’s mother.

That elevates Mary to God’s place and diminishes God to the role of a lesser being than Mary.

Mother of Jesus is accurate and correct and gives no false impressions about who she is and what her role in God’s plan of redemption is.

I've referred to Joseph as "Jesus' earthly father," and Mary as "Jesus' earthly mother." It tends to annoy the Catholics, but that's not my intention.
