"Mother of God” is a truth that flows naturally and logically from an understanding of Who Jesus is. When we apply the term to Mary, it's actually all about Christ. It points us unmistakably towards His Divinity, and slams the door shut on the several heresies about Him that were raging at the time.

On the contrary, in a clause the subject is never what follows the preposition.

The term *mother of God* is about Mary, the mother, not recognizing the divinity of Christ, since Mary is the subject.

Hogwash.

The term "Mother of God" absolutely recognizes the Divinity of Christ. He is one Divine Person with two natures, Divine and human. "Mother of GOD".

Jesus is God. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Mary is the Mother of God. Nobody is claiming she was His mother from all eternity. That's absurd, since Mary is a creature, and had a beginning in time.

Jesus' human nature also had a beginning in time, but that nature is inextricably linked with His Divine nature in ONE PERSON. Mary became the mother of that ONE PERSON at the moment of the Incarnation. You cannot seperate the two natures of Christ or make Him into two persons unless you want to adopt one of the early Christological heresies which no mainline Christian church believes anymore. You just can't.
