Nope. She is he mother of Jesus. You start adding “God” the way Roman Catholics do, and it makes the inference that she is in some way elevated to any other status but fallen sinner saved by her Savior.

Omit adding "God" and it makes the inference that Jesus Christ was NOT God. Was He? or wasn't He? That's why I said, the phrase "Mother of God" says more about Jesus Christ than it does about Mary.

Of COURSE Mary needed a Savior. Jesus Christ, her son, was her Savior. Christ said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." He saved her before she bore Him. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are from all eternity, God is the Author of time, not the slave of time. Time obeys God, not vice versa.

Omitting God makes Jesus less God? Everyone’s been arguing that it’s a known fact! That is just silly!!!!

“That’s why I said, the phrase “Mother of God” says more about Jesus Christ than it does about Mary.”

Let’s look at it. “Mother of God.” Where is Christ in there? Who is the subject? Mother OF God. Mary. Sheesh.

Sorry, but that fails also.
